    Field Leathers

    If they agreed upon them being used, it‘s even more than that, it would be breach of contract. Like, everything else, stitching, cuff design, etc; all that you can debate about whats appropriate for the price tag, everyone entitled to their opinion, all good. But if I pay you money for a...

    Field Leathers

    These cuffs are an absolute joke, you wouldnt see this on a 200 dollar mall jacket. Why on earth would anyone sew them ontop of the lining and expose the leather instead of the other way around? Straight up trolling if you ask me. Same for the excuse of not using your zippers. Bro, it‘s a...

    Alexander Leather Steerhide Cafe Jacket - Fit advice

    Length is spot on, should not be any longer. Just rock it with shirts being longer, it‘s not a formal coat. I wouldnt tuck in my shirts. In fact I wouldnt give it any other thought at all and just rock it in whatever way, a little bit of forced carelessness goes well with a CR.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Gorgeous. Is that a standard pattern? I‘m looking for a somewhat longer hip-length style jacket next.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Words are wasted on this man, he knows better than any of us, I personally gonna lean back and enjoy the shitshow that his entry into leather jackets is gonna be.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah I wouldnt put my 40th birthday money into a 5-star… Get a Johnson Leather jacket and don‘t go too crazy with the design, buy something thats contemporary enough to still be wearable many years down the line. From what I gather you want a somewhat longer style jacket with patch pockets...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I like that it covers and strengthens the forearm area; it‘s an area that has to endure a lot of strain in jackets that I physically work in because you end up pressing your forearms against stuff a lot, its a very natural movement.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    You won't regret it, they do great work and no need for fancy, their basic patterns are great and their basic leathers are well-selected, the 3 oz naked cowhide has an awesome hand to it. At 6'4 I'm assuming a XL and possibly an extra inch in the sleeves? Just mail them though, they are very...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks for the kind words! I guess this actually does fit as intended (for the most part, sleeves definitely atleast 1“ too long), a size down and it would be tight at the bottom and layering barely possible anymore and I like to believe these 50s half-belts were worn as overcoats more so than...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Stock size, stock leather. These run at a fraction of a new Aero and I like it alright. The „designated bakery-walker“ hair-do comes free of charge, too.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Received this used Lost Worlds Russet Test yesterday. Mixed bag. The leather color ain‘t for me, the sleeves are too long for me and sleeves overall quite tunnely wide. One thing to note: This size 42 has measurements identical to two of my Johnson leather jackets and yet it feels much larger...
