[Field Leathers] First-time full custom – D-pocket & hide advice needed

[Carlos840]

Hahaha, same story here. Just vibing solo, appreciating the jackets on my own.
I’d wear one of my jackets and walk past some local leather shops, and they’d still boldly claim theirs are way better than mine.
I could only keep my mouth shut and keep walking, hahaha.
My friends see me wearing leather jackets all the time and ask, “Don’t you ever get bored?” or just throw in a random comment.
But then, the moment they come over to my place, next day I’m suddenly nicknamed “one of those types” haha View attachment 716928

It's not a good idea to store jacket zipped, you ar going to create creases/folds in the front that will never go away once they have set in.
Leave them unzipped.

Nice. Which model is that Schott D pocket on the far left?

That’s a Schott 611H—probably from around 2005. I’ve had it altered four times to get it closer to a Buco J-24 fit

Alright, I’ll keep that in mind

Interesting, I thought the opposite was true

Nice wall art and jacket collection! You’re new here so you might not know this and be up to speed, but you need to make leather-jacket hangers. What is going on with the shoulder bumps highlighted in red? That should never happen to the jackets of those around here.

If you don’t have access to pool noodle, below is a low budget option, from packing bubbles.

Thanks bro, that’s the jacket I’ve kept the longest—and put the most heart into

“Alright, noted! I’ll fix that. All my hangers are actually suit hangers, but the one you circled is my wife’s leather jacket—I haven’t found a proper hanger that fits hers yet, haha

Hello everyone, I’ve just published a new post where I tried to clearly outline my intentions and ideas. I’d be very grateful if you could take a moment to review it and let me know what you think. Thank you very much!

1997 Vanson C2 in size 38 on a 176cm, 65 kg guy (me). I think a C2 in size 36 might be perfect on OP.

I'm finding quite interesting the difference in grain between the front and the back
