    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...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    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!

    Himel the best?

    Objectively speaking, RMC makes a much, much better leather jacket than Himel - Most Japanese makers do - but neither RMC nor anyone else makes the same jacket Himel does. If you like his jackets, you're going to pay what he's asking. That's the whole point. Shinki is just the name of the...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    High-end jeans by Nudie Jeans are top tier. IMO visibly better make than IH.

    689HH break in process.

    Material failure. It happens. Simple though possibly visible repair, no need for lining replacement. I wouldn't bother sending this back but if Schott can do it for free, shipping covered both ways, then why not.

    Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?

    I find it that belts that are too thick, as in above 0.5 mm, don't really do anything for keeping your pants in pace as you can't get them to naturally shape around your waist.

    Sheepskin fibers penetrating hyde

    The leather must've been skived too thin. I never imagined this is even possible as the outside surface of a shearling jacket is simply the inside of the leather panel.

    Aero leather B-6, size 44

    Can vouch for the seller & have personally seen this absolutely stunning jacket. I always had a soft spot for a B-6 tho never before handling one, I wasn't sure I wanted to risk a grand and a half just see if I was right but if I was in the market for a shearling bomber, this one'd be it. This...

    Retailer too good to be true?

    As others said, most of the prices on the site are stupid high. The Lewis coat is worth something, the Buco's of course (though not as much) & the rest is overpriced to the extreme. Many of these jackets are just random Euro-racers of decent but inconsequential quality and rarity. Any of these...

    Rarely good fitting jacket. Rarely. Though it all fits well so well.
