Ha haIs it going to be your retirement gift to yourself?
Sweet JMax. Brown is a hard to find one.View attachment 145530
Dark brown CL is on its way. Looks good to go. I have extra CL mouton collars that should work with this.
Side note, Gwen got back to me and confirmed my Louis The Tailor jacket is a CL. I thought so but glad she answered my inquiry.
I have a (gulp) Polo leather jacket incoming. I don't even know who I am anymore.
This is the ultimate example of TFL effect. I bought a beautiful fair isle sweater by Vince in brown and cream for $2 earlier in the day at a thrift store, realized it would look absurd with my black biker jackets...the rest is history.Sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants.
I love it. Leather looks good from the pics. Fit is dead on, sleeves are to long tho.Probably gonna return this, it doesn't looks so good on me, the softest leather I have so far, can't stand by itself, but thick and heavy 8.2 lbs, leather looks dull and printed, what you think?![]()

I was watching that one for months, and thought it was way over priced. I think it was listed originally at $2600, but had been discounted at various points as low as $2k, but more recently at around $2300. I offered $600 about 6 months ago but not surprisingly he didn't bite. What'd you get it for?I just bought this Schott X RRL collab repro of the Beck Perfecto Northeaster 333...
Steerhide CXL
Waiting time is begining.

In my experience Vanson leather transformation is virtually unrecognizable. Give it time, it'll go from looking like vinyl to looking amazing. If it fits, keep it. Have faith.Probably gonna return this, it doesn't looks so good on me, the softest leather I have so far, can't stand by itself, but thick and heavy 8.2 lbs, leather looks dull and printed, what you think?![]()

That's still a bit high, but not unreasonable. Comparable to a new Aero, and it's Horween CXL. If I didn't already have my Schott x Context, in natural CXL, I might have been willing to go a little higher with my bid.Half the original price... Which is still too hight. But I wanted this jacket![]()
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. I only ask because my 2016 Vanson I got through Thurston looked just like this. For a second I was thinking it was maybe something to do with their Thurston specific models.It's directly from Vanson
