Jacket ADD

mygar said:

Well it seems like I continue to bounce from one manufacturer to another, from one style to the next, and from one treated hide to another... as I plan my first custom jacket. It seems I cant stick to one choice before seeing something awesome posted somewhere that immediately grabs my attention. I have gone from a custom Aero Sheene, Thedi CR, Thedi Shawl, Eastman A2 (monarch or Havana brown), Aero 30's premier highwayman, Aero bootlegger ..... need a plan to keep this from getting out of hand. 3 or 4 jackets at any one time tops haha

If 3 or 4 jackets at a time is your goal, I suggest deleting TFL from your browser and search history. Forget this place exists...carry on...nothing to see here.

But if you realize you are kidding yourself, welcome.

mygar - yes indeed, welcome to Fedora Lounge! You really should look away and let your wallet have a rest...

Or, buy them used. That's what many of mine are, pre-loved, broken in, and just did not work out, or whatever life's circumstances entailed.

That said, I would not suggest a custom jacket if you've not had several others prior, too easy to wind up with buyer's remorse. Get to know your tastes and preferances, shop around some, make a few good mistakes, and you'll come up with exactly what you are looking for. Shoot, one or two of my own "mistakes" are listed in the classified section now.

Good luck with that. Please let me know the secret when you discover it. Although I feel like I'm becoming rehabilitated. 2 leather jackets (previously hundreds bought/sold) and I will meditate and die on a mountain like Luke after slaying the new sith. There is no spoon (or last/perfect leather jacket).

This is absolutely true for many of us here. It took me a good while to realize it, but it seemed as soon as my latest "perfect" jacket arrived I was already planning the next one. I think a AeroFan has a great suggestion about sticking to the used market. Your dollar goes a lot further this way, and when it doesn't work out it is not as disappointing as when you have gone the custom route on a new jacket.

Nothing wrong with that, every true jacket addict should have at least one custom jacket.
