    FS: Fine Creek Leathers Tyler, Size 42 (Price reduced to $950)

    The FCL Tyler is a reproduction of a prior version of the Lewis Leathers Corsair. Why didn’t I simply buy a Corsair? First, the version of the Corsair reproduced by FCL is not currently made by LL. Rather, the current LL Corsair does not have a sleeve zipper (the Lightening does, but not the...

    The Background . . .

    When posting jacket photos here, some people post with the same background every time (or most of the time). Nothing wrong with that. Others post with different backgrounds every time. Some people clearly pay attention to the backgrounds of their photos; others clearly do not. Do you pay...

    Sometimes blind trust works out . . .

    In a world rife with duplicity and skulduggery, I am pleased to report that my imprudent blind trust of a new, unknown member’s offer of assistance resulted in a successful transaction. A few months ago, Iron Heart released this flannel shirt: It sold out with lightning speed (literally...

    Ubiquitous Virtual Intruder . . . Latest Adware Looks Eerily Familiar . . .

    Over the past few weeks, I am consistently besieged by the following Adware photo (from eBay): Does anyone know the identity of this ubiquitous virtual intruder? Is the Windy City loaning out its favorite son? Cough *** Royalties *** Cough!!!

    Need Proxy in Japan

    I want to purchase an item from IH in Japan that is sold out on IH's international website. IH Japan will not ship to the US and also will not ship to known forwarding companies/proxies in Japan. Therefore, I need someone to accept the shipment in Japan and then ship it to me in the US...

    Most great artists are not appreciated during their lifetime . . .

    I just read @jonbuilder ‘s new post wherein he describes his newly acquired vintage deerskin jacket manufactured by “WM Gallagher Co.” in Fenton, Michigan – “The Deerskin Center of Michigan.” I have never heard of this company but, based on @jonbuilder ‘s post, they made a fine jacket. This...

    Freewheelers Mulholland (Spartan Leathers Sportwear Repro)

    First and foremost, huge thanks to @dudewuttheheck and Duke Mantee for making this happen. I am very grateful! I have been a huge fan of Freewheeler products for several years and own many of their wares, including three non-leather jackets. However, obtaining one of their leather jackets has...

    The Relapse

    We all are well versed with the supernatural TFL Effect, which corrupts many new members of this fine community: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-tfl-effect.94299/ . I love watching new members as they succumb to the TFL Effect and purchase new jackets at a furious pace. Their...

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    I just read a thread in the classified section wherein several members denounced the practice of offering to purchase a jacket for less than the listed price. Frankly, I was surprised by the disapproval. I have sold several jackets here on TFL and, in every instance, I received offers for less...

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    As I was enjoying my self-imposed temporary respite from TFL, I became consumed with a philosophical question that compelled my early return from hibernation. “To err is human.” ~ Alexander Pope. “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy Even the...

    Fine Creek Leathers Tyler

    Fine Creek Leathers Tyler Approximately two years ago, I reached a state of mind rarely found in this community: leather jacket contentment. Yes, I know: blasphemy! I liked my assortment of jackets and I did not feel the need to purchase any more. Nevertheless, in the recesses of my (tiny)...

    First new jacket in a couple of years . . .

    After resisting the urge for a couple of years, I finally succumbed. I took a risk with an OTR jacket that I had not tried on. The risk paid off. The jacket fits like it was custom made for me. More to follow . . .

    Minimum Annual Usage

    Earlier today, @Carlos840 wrote: This got me thinking. Because of my local climate and the number of jackets I own, I do not wear any individual jacket more than five times a year, let alone ten or more times. If I had a minimum usage requirement of ten days per year, I would only own four...

    Lewis Leathers / LL Cowhide

    I am contemplating a Lewis Leathers jacket in cowhide (sans chest patch). I do not have any experience with the brand. For those with real world LL experience: 1. How is the quality of the workmanship (e.g., stitching and seams)? 2. How does the workmanship compare to: (1) Aero; (2) RMC...

    What else do you collect, obsess over, and/or display addictive tendencies towards?

    We are all here because, to one degree or another, we collect, obsess over, and/or display addictive tendencies towards outerwear. That is our fundamental commonality within this great community. However, many/most have other collections, obsessions, and/or addictive tendencies above and...
