    My two new Lost Worlds jackets

    I recently acquired two gorgeous Lost Worlds jackets, a 16 year old Suburban through eBay and a basically new Easy Ryder through this forum. I was actually contacted by a fellow Lounger after I replied to an old sales thread for an Easy Ryder, that was of course long sold. He said he was...

    Appreciation post nr. ???

    Didn't exactly know where to post this, but since is the subsection I check out the most I feel like this is where I reach the most amount of people I relate to. Just wanted to say this community is absolutely awesome. I've been a member for about 8 years now, I was a teenager at that time, and...

    Boots & bunions

    Hey everyone, after my hobby for collecting leather jackets spurred out of control, I figured I also needed a large collection of engineer boots. I have worn and collected them for over 5 years now, but I started developing serious bunion issues a little over 2 years ago. It's come to the point...

    FOR SALE: Keystone Engineer Boots, 7.5D, Dark Brown steerhide

    Up for sale is one of the best engineer boots you can get on the market today. Everything about the profile and hardware just screams "1940s Chippewa" to me. These are made in Japan, and getting through the waitlist takes about half a year. Not only are these boots gorgeous to behold, but...

    Aero Board Racer Cordovan FQHH (size tag 40, fits like 38) FOR SALE

    Howdy folks, up for sale is a magnificent Aero Board Racer in truly fantastic Cordovan FQHH. I feel sad to have to sell this one, as this color is just something else. When I first got it, I fooled myself into thinking it'd fit, but it's just a tad too small for me. I wore it for a...

    Grail find: 1950s Buco J-24L

    It's safe to say my leather jacket journey is over. Thanks to the wonderful Finds and Deals thread, and the eBay link posted by @Coriu, I somehow managed to score a vintage Buco J-24L from (I'm guessing) the 1950s, in steerhide and in my size (40), for a mere $255 plus shipping. The seller only...

    Looking for a proxy

    Howdy fellow Loungers, I just won a jacket on eBay but the seller only ships to the US. I'm in the Netherlands. Was hoping if anyone could help me out by acting as a proxy? Send me a PM.

    Aero cafe racer pics?

    Are there any owners of really well worn-in Aero Cafe Racer jackets, and would you be willing to post some pics of it? It's a bit hard to find many pictures of this particular style, as the Board Racer seems to be all the rage.

    VINTAGE ENGINEER BOOTS FOR SALE 7D/7.5D (Buco, JC Penneys, Santa Rosa, Sears)

    I am downsizing my engineer boots collection, and I've decided these are leaving the pack. Pretty much all of these are a size 7.5D. I wear a US size 7.5D in most brands (Mister Freedom Road Champs, Red Wing, Wesco, Chippewa, John Lofgren, Attractions) and these boots fit me just fine with thick...

    Up for grabs are two pairs of vintage engineer boots from my collection. They are both in great condition, with a hint of patina. I treated them with a layer of Pecards Antique Leather condition. While I loved getting these for collecting purposes, I find they rarely get a spot in my boot...

    FOR SALE: Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, Brown CXL Steerhide (Size 38)

    Hi everyone. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm selling my Aero Highwayman. I fell head over heels in love with this thing when I got it nearly three years ago and it's come to break in very nicely, but I hardly ever grab this jacket when I go out the door. In need of financing other...

    FS: Vanson Comet Size 38, black, good as new, 300$ shipped!

    I recently purchased this one from a fellow lounge member. I have to say I have hardly worn it since. It was kind of an impulse buy and the jacket is just a tad too small for my liking. For reference, I am 5 feet 8 inches tall at 150 lbs. My chest measures roughly 41.5" and my waist is about...

    FS: Vanson Model B, black comp. weight cowhide (36)

    As much as it pains me to see this one go, I'm going to have to sell my beloved Vanson Model B. As time goes by, I cannot keep telling myself the size works for me. It's just simply too small, so it deserves a new owner. This jacket's been on a couple of adventures for me and it looks all the...

This is the standard Federation IV in the Tawn color, size 59 / 7 3/8. I tried my best to style it like the popular Indiana Jones fedora, but this can be...

    I finally took the plunge and sent my $200 deposit to Good Wear last night. I specified a Bronco pattern with Dull Russet Horsehide, medium golden brown knits, light olive thread and nickel repro Talon. Waiting time is 18-22 months. I was hoping you could provide me with some pictures and...

    Lost Worlds Stand-collar A2 (42, fits 38/40)

    Lost Worlds makes a mighty fine A2, I gotta tell ya. The leather is extremely rich, supple and plenty thick but not too much for an A2. The rich shade of brown just oozes off of it, and the grain complements the color nicely. The wool cuffs and bottom are nice and tight, and thick at that. This...
