    Newby question regarding selvage jeans

    For those of you that soaking the denim in a tub/etc. seems too much for, why not try sanforized denim? Sanforized means the denim's already been stretched, so shrinking/stretching will be minimal and there's no real need for an initial soak. You can expect the standard 0.5-1" stretch in the...

    My New Johnson Leathers - Horween chromexcel overdyed Jacket

    This is a really nice jacket, Technovox. How much did that cost you, if I can ask? Using that leather?

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    I'm taking a year off and working in a law firm now, as a paralegal, and everything you say is true. I had actually applied last year and deferred my enrollment in order to earn some money and figure out if this was genuinely what I wanted to do. As for how that's gone, everyone I've talked to...

    My New LW Dubow A-2

    Awesome. Have you got any pictures of it, by the way? I'm trying to get a clearer idea on what exactly Stuart's russet looks like! Some of the photos on his website are very dim, others seem to show off drastically different colors.

    My New LW Dubow A-2

    What jacket do you wear the most out of all of yours, out of curiosity? And yours has a nice deep brown color to it, is that Stuart's "russet" from the site? I'd been expecting something more red but his site reads that he only offers the black and russet.

    Lost Worlds custom Easy Ryder review

    It looks good, man. How much did it end up running you after the customizations?

    Lost Worlds G1 - anybody had one?

    Interesting! The collar seems slightly smaller than some of the others I've seen, somehow, is that true? Just one question haha... Got any pictures with the jacket on?

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    That's a beautiful jacket, Seb. You have great taste and despite all the great feedback I've gotten about Johnson here, it still blows me away that they can execute this kind of thing. How long have you had it now? Oddly enough, that may just be the kind of cowhide I want... if not that...

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    Thank you so much. That's a very helpful post. Since I can't PM (do I need a certain post count, maybe?), I hope he sees this... If anyone could PM him to check here that'd be great! Seb, would you be willing to post photos of your 3 oz. brown cowhide jacket? I'd be looking for something...

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    So far, the plan's to see what Johnson Leathers can do and get a price set before I consider any other options. I'm currently asking about their cowhide selection (and am still not sure what would hold up best to general environmental wear and tear but supple enough for casual use, i.e. no...

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    Maybe! I'll keep an eye out. Vintage/repros aren't my thing so much as a usable jacket, but a quality frugal option, on the other hand, haha that's worth taking a look at. Wanted to rack your brains one more time, though. If I were to get a cowhide jacket from Johnson (presumably in...

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    Great post, Jack. I came in just wanting a jacket I could wear as much as possible, in the sense that it would look decent in almost any occasion. The flight jackets kind of drew me in that way, there's a sort of timeless yet slightly rugged feel to them that I felt could be either supremely...

    Nice! Where'd you find it on sale?

    That's a great jacket, thanks for taking those, Nick. How old is it now?

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    I'm finding these 30's/50's halfbelts more and more gorgeous. Haha shit, wow. The problem is the price range, since with some custom sizing $1,500's a little beyond my budget. Not that I don't think it's worth it - it is - but something beyond $1,000 isn't really in the cards for me at this...

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    Haha I love it too, but it's a bit out of my price range toward $1,500. I say there won't be a second because I honestly won't be able to get a second, even if I wanted. I won't be making money for a long time after this year, just going to school and paying off debt, but I want to make this...

    Maybe... You guys are too good salesmen. About how much does a custom Highwayman run, though? Significantly more than the current ~$960 price tag?

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    I know this might sound a bit odd, but I actually think the measurements will stay somewhat constant - I compete in powerlifting meets as a hobby, which has strict weight classes. Fitness is and will stay a priority of mine, and I've made it work this last year or so of a 75 hr./week job, and...

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    This is all brilliant feedback, thanks so much. I am leaning toward a flight jacket, yes, although the A-2/G-1/Luftwaffe/etc. debate's still unresolved. I'm not necessarily looking for a repro jacket so much as a jacket I just love the look of, so I definitely don't mind any "authenticity"...
