    LW Moose hide LT/A and J-24

    Guys, i have reached the peak of the mountain. Since discovering LW i felt like i was walking the crest, looking for the highest peak to settle on, and this is it, i have no more up to get to... This project started in January 2021, when @red devil told me he was going to order his own custom...

    Swivel Talon Zippers

    I just received my LW LT/A: It has the coolest Talon zippers i have ever seen. When i picked them from the lineup i had no idea they swiveled ( i just liked the puller shape), Stu just said they where "vintage utility zippers" without mentionning the swivel action, this is a very nice...

    Japanese market Vanson Cheyenne.

    So, a couple weeks ago someone posted links to a Buyee seller selling a bunch of Vanson Cheyennes at a great price. I decided to risk it and ordered two. A brown Suede one: https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/r491607764 And a black leather one: https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/b541365515...

    Vanson Padded CXL Commando

    I have been trying to write the full story of how i ended up getting this jacket made for a couple hours, but i don't seem to be able to write anything interresting right now. Still, i really wanted to post pics of this jacket, she is a beauty and i know you guys will enjoy it. Basically, last...

    Lost Worlds B-2 Flight Jacket

    So, here is one of my latest eBay LW scores, a new and unworn B-2 flight jacket. It's a jacket i have wanted for a while but i couldn't bring myself to spend new money on a jacket that would not see much use. I was lucky and stumbled upon a 42L one in the UK. It is a very interresting jacket...

    Hanging jackets on a wall.

    Hi all, So, i am moving out of London, getting a new office and i want to cover a wall in leather jackets, the wall in question is 320cm wide and 320cm tall (10.5 feet). I have had a few ideas as to how to hang all that leather and this is my latest/best idea: I would hang three copper pipes...

    Langlitz Columbia and Cascade review.

    First, thank you @JMax for proxying this jacket to me! I really appreciate it. For some reason we don't see many Langlitz jackets around here and i think it is a shame. In a way i understand why, they have a very strong look/style, there are hundreds of different cross-zips and cafe racers that...

    Vanson x Left Field Commando

    Just a quick review of a jacket i picked up in the classifieds last week. This is basically a toned down modern interpretation of the J-24 made by Vanson. I'm a sucker for a D-Pocket, and a big Vanson fan, the second i saw this i knew i had to have it. Left Field says this jacket uses Comp...

    Lost Worlds J-23 Review/Evo

    Around December last year i contacted Lost Worlds to order a J-23. I have to say that after many years of browsing his website i didn't know what to expect, but communication with Stuart was very easy and straightforward. He is a man of few words, straight to the point, but always answered my...

    FS: Freewheelers San Mateo/ Peter's aviator jacket

    It is with great sadness that i am putting my San Mateo up for sale. Unfortunately this jacket is too small for me, it makes me feel like a leather sausage... The jacket was bought new in April for 2500$, it was worn indoors for maybe 10 hours and sprayed with purified water a couple times to...

    Legendary Products, INC. Trojan Horse

    This jacket has been photographed on the lounge before, but i thought i would give it a go again and try to better capture the grain. I am the third Lounger to own this jacket, after @dinomartino1 and @Mysteryo. It has literally gone around the world, starting life at the Schott factory in...

    Vanson Denver

    So, this should be interesting... I am always on the lookout for unusual things, and the old leather pull over racing shirt has been on my list for a while. Unfortunately, other than vintage Taubers that are super rare in my size, and Himel that are super expensive, there are very few companies...

    Schott 602 Police Jacket

    Here is a jacket that has already split opinions in the "what are you wearing today" thread, I thought i would take some better pics today as i have more time this morning and there aren't many pics of this model anywhere online. This was dated as a late 60s to late 70s jacket by the label. It...

    Vanson CHP 2

    All this Vanson talk going on this week made me want to compare mine! I got this jacket a couple months ago from @jacketjunkie in the classifieds. It's a 2008 Vanson CHP 2, competition weight leather. Nothing super special about it, it is well made, fits very well, although much tighter than my...

    Aero Leather Grizzly.

    For the past few years i have been Grizzly curious... It's this weird feeling, a mix of wanting one very badly, being confused as to why i actually want one, and at the same time wondering if i would ever have what it takes to walk out of my front door wearing one. Because of that question i...

    Vintage Buco J-24 Stitching.

    Hi all, I was doing some sunday morning leather stalking online and saw this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Buco-J-24-Brown-Label-Vintage-Leather-Jacket/223161401238?hash=item33f574bf96:g:fycAAOSwsj5bnv~e A close inspection of the pictures made me notice something i had never noticed before, for...

    Buco JH-1

    After years avoiding belted leather jackets i recently discovered i was actually a big fan of them, one thing led to another and here are two "new to me" jackets that are not seen very often around here. Both reached me pretty much unworn, it's almost like no one actually wears the nice jackets...

    Apparel Annex leather tailors CHP jacket

    This was a bit of an impulse buy online, i really like the single pocket flaps and the pocket layouts and it was pretty cheap so i took a gamble. The jacket is mostly well made, other than the misaligned zipper at the bottom. The leather is super thick (2mm) and super soft, It was pretty rough...

    Vanson Chopper

    Hi all, I had been looking at the Chopper for a while, but with Vanson recently changing their leather (not for the best), and the fact that they stopped making it in a size 42 (M=40, L=44) i was pretty sure i would never own one. That is until an older, still unworn size 42 turned up for sale...

    Freewheelers LaBrea

    Hey guys, So this happened, and it is blowing my mind so hard that i had to share it with my fellow leather freaks. This jacket is insane, everything about it is on another level from anything i have handled before. The leather is Rude black horsehide, i would describe it as a mix between black...
