Thanks man.

Hey guys, I'm selling this jacket for my dad who barely ever wore it because it feels "too young" for his style. I was tempted to keep it for myself but it's a little tight in the shoulders for me. It's a really nice design with all the standard cafe racer type features AND - if you're tired...

Hey guys, So I need to sell this amazing jacket, though it kills me, for one that fits me a little better. It's a Prem Highwayman base in Seal Vicenza with an Irvin collar and rayon lining and the nice detail of corduroy hem lining. It also has a vertical interior pocket I forgot to take...

Thanks man. Yeah I found them a while ago but unfortunately not in my size. Really appreciate the tip though!

Hey All, This is a really nice Navy Overcoat I bought a couple of years ago. I took off the tags excitedly after first trying it on, but when it came time to actually wear it out, I second guessed myself and realised it didn't fit me quite right and I decided to hold out for a coat that had a...

For anyone who has a Thedi Buffalo, what are it's qualities? Is it mean to eventually be softer than say, horse? I don't know much about Buffalo hide. I know you said in your hand the Buffalo is the stiffest sample... I wonder if it would stay that way in the context of a jacket or if it'll...

Just trying to establish just how risky it may be. If there's plenty of good experiences, it would make me feel better about doing it. Also maybe someone learnèd might've commented saying "you can get it done but watch out for getting lightweight suede because blah blah blah" or "I wouldn't do...

Haha. Noted. I have seen/heard of those successful washing machine stories, but yeah, not risking it with this particular find. Not even because of cost, but more because it's rare.

Yeah I had the same idea re the high-end stores. But here's the thing - there are no high-end leather stores here in Sydney. Not that I know of anyway. There's some Hugo Boss or other designer type stores like that and they might incidentally have a leather jacket, but certainly not dedicated...

Yeah agreed. I've spent quite a lot of time researching. There's not a lot of testimonials for 'leather specialist dry cleaners' in Sydney. There's the top hits on Google that profess to know how valuable and risky it is and "that's why we have a leather specialist that specialises in leather"...

On that occasion was it a leather specialist or...? And what happened? It's a little more tricky with suede though, no? Becuase after "washing" it, it's not as simple to re-hydrate/re-oil it once it's dry like with regular leathers.

Yeah I think if it was a specific spot or stain I'd give something like that a try, but it's the whole jacket I just want to freshen and give a clean. Including the interior/lining. It's not at all filthy, but just... peace of mind. And it smells a bit like someone else's cologne which is...
