    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    It is a perfect understandable reason to watch a movie. I saw Ghost Rider because of the Chrome Hearts. And both sucked.

    It won't.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think it's good. Sleeve length is very subjective and depends on the jacket of course but generally (and in my opinion, of course), for a leather jacket of this style, you don't want them to go much below your wrists, precisely so they're not in the way.

    WTB: Wesco or similar massive engineer boots, 46/47

    I have a pair. Fantastic boots and an insane price, consideringthequality. ;) But thank you.

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    No, I really don't know. I'm not sure anyone uses it anymore, other than a handful of small fashion designers.

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    Sheepskin is often thought of having the same pitfalls of lambskin while people keep forgetting the 80's, which is when sheep truly earned its place on the leather jacket market. You can still find countless A-2's by Avirex, made in thick, massive sheep leather that are holding their own as...

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    This could've/would've been my own collection some 15 years ago. Now I don't have a single motorcycle jacket anymore... In any case, very cool and very nice. Burberry looks like sheepskin. Fantastic, tough leather, when not skived.

    Vintage Harley-Davidson W style, some questions

    This indeed is the early Harley-Davidson cross zip though I'm not certain about the age. Could be 50's but I don't know how long in they were making these. Earliest ones had an even older Talon and the decorations were more elaborate. There's the "High quality, Fine Workmanship" tag... This is...

    It's the elastics, right?

    My dad recently bought me a 641 for my birthday, unbeknownst to me but I'm upset about the collar tab

    Quickly sell the jacket. The waves/ripples are extremely dangerous. You don't want them on your neck.

    Field Leathers

    Huh! Now that you mention it, the sleeves on the 50's Cal that I had were finished just like that, too. Is Greg always doing cuffs that way on his jackets? If so then okay. But I just didn't see that on new jackets. They always make it neater. There just seems to be a lot of loose material on...

    Field Leathers

    This is sad. It is sad because @mvilla didn't get the jacket he wanted, of course but it is sad because this isn't representative of Greg's work & it didn't need to happen. Greg is among the best in the business. His workmanship is second to none yet... This happened. There's no justification...

    Anyone knows the name of this style? Also... What happened to Comp. Weight? Seriously, is it impossible to source a leather like this anymore? Look at this! It's art!
