    I feel nekid

    For the first time this year, its too warm to wear one of my leather jackets. I got a new one 2 weeks ago from AL and had some time to break it in a bit this april, but alas, it is now too warm. I will miss my new companion until late september I would guess. Oh well, on to summer.

Way different fit than my 50's Mid weight HH half belt, which i'll probably be off loading now. Super soft moleskin lining and pockets, cord trim...

    Horse hide break in

    ive found that heating up the fqhh makes it very maleable. since the leather is stuffed with wax as a tanning method, heat would make it more inclined to be shaped. Has anyone taken a fqhh jacket, put it throught the drier and worn it when hot to mold it to your shape and get it to break that...

    Got another one, this time off of E-bay for a good price. It's an older 1990's Eastman house veg tanned HH, seal with redish undertones. The knits are good and the hide is starting to get a patina going. The hide is much lighter in weight than a US auth. but the US Auth is much grainier. Here's...

    How many is too many?

    How many leather jackets is too many? this is a philosophical question of course, since we all know too much is never enough. My wife thinks I need a shrink, but I need to know I have any fellow nuts out there with the same "problem". I just can't seem to get "too many" leather jackets. I only...

    FS Horsehide

    Just got a new F/S Historical Horsehide a couple of weeks ago. It's breaking in nice but the pigments starting to wear off at the ususal spots and under it is a darker tanning. It looks like crap, but I am starting to get attached to the fit. I called F/S and they would refund it or replace it...
