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. In fairness I don’t read VLJ. I suppose all makers do this to some extent. There’s just something extra pompous in Stu’s word soup. At least to my ears. Not to discredit his work or the finished product, they are exceptional no doubt.
Yeah I stopped over there awhile ago and noticed the same and showed myself the door.At VLJ everyone is crapping on everything and everybody.
I don't see any posts there like @El Marro post, sharing a photo of himself wearing a badass leather jacket while being on the job, with a big smile on his face
We need more posts like that
Exactly the point about customers. Talking smack against competitors is one thing. There obviously is a line of how far is too far and what is in good fun, or humor and whats just plain wrong or mean. Thats a different topic and a moving line to be honest. The issue Ive always had with Stu is his shit talking of potential customers. His dictating what kind of person buys/deserves a LW product. What kind of manly caveman, chest beating, alpha male are the only ones allowed his most superior products. I find that beyond judgmental and alienating. It almost makes me embarrassed for him. but to @ton312 point not to take away from his products at all. He makes incredible, amazing, insert whatever high praise adjective you want. LWs reputation for making killer, long lasting jackets is quite deserved. I just see his crappy 1996 website and the hyperbolic language and have always thought you may be targeting a super specific subgroup of customer....but thats all your targeting. You are literally making fun of 90% of the possible market for your product. Oh well Im done rambling and venting. Thanks for posting for the group.
My reaction is to put my LW Trojan up for sale in the classifies.
What size is it and what are you asking for it?
My response was somewhat a jest, But I do believe I will list my Trojan this week and will PM you and give you 1st right of refusal.
Cool. I wear 44-48 depending on pattern and maker. I believe Trojan is slightly roomier pattern than for example LW J-23 or Leather togs.
