Master supply co leather jacket

[ton312]

One thing I have noticed over the years here is that the more mediocre the maker, the more fierce the defenders. I‘ve seen this with Five Star, U.S. Authentic, and now Master Supply. This is a new wrinkle, though. I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone who has actually never actually handled nor wore the jacket extolling its virtues so vociferously.

I also notice he edited his last wall of text where he acknowledged the gaping stitch holes I pointed out. I suspect he had an “UH oh” momment and realized that photos do matter and that’s precisely what he ultimately used to push him over the edge to purchase. I envision him at some point feverishly sweating on the toilet with an along came Polly stomach trying to return the jacket before it’s even delivered.

He's not the first, sadly won't be the last. A modicum of respect wouldn't have hurt him. I've been here since 2004 and been a member since 2006, and I still learn something every time I check out this forum, which is sadly not as often as I used to have time to. Bottom line, some people are just annoying dipsticks and, as my old man used to say, "You can't educate a mug."

Now I can return to enjoying Ton's adventures in 70s jacket bliss and everyone else exploring the world of vintage, rare and cool jackets (with the odd crazy one thrown in for our amusement).

Those stitch hole comments where on the other thread. It's so much text and he posted it in two different places, but there are some substantive differences. Not that either one is worth reading, but here's the other one, post 94:

Oh, I love this! So now we’ve moved from gatekeeping ‘heritage’ to declaring it culturally dead. Rugged workwear is the new North Face? Maybe in some corners of the internet, sure. But the funny thing about subcultures is that they don’t exist in a vacuum—they ebb and flow, sometimes codifying...

Because there were so many words and so few pictures, I took these today to share. You can see what I mean about how the hide wants to wrinkle. Sorta reminds me of deerskin? It’s very comfortable from the get go but I have doubts about long term durability.

Anyways a decent looking jacket but not sure if deserves all the text walls. Then again, you’d be surprised at how many folks are passionate about the Milwaukee Leather jacket that sells for $130 who come for me on YouTube

Enough with the bashing; let's move on.
