Original Garment Brothers
Original Garment Brothers is a Japanese vendor of leather jackets and other goods that is not well known over here at the Fedora Lounge. One of the reasons is probably the fact that he only ships domestically within Japan. I say he because OG BROS is a one-man operation run by Hiroyuki Ogawa...- Winthorpe

Ship John
I think you misunderstood, intentionally or not, the current raffle that Mike has going on. If you buy an album by a Black musician who has been affected by the pandemic then you are entered into a drawing for 1 Brown Wills jacket. Not sure if that was already mentioned, but they are doing...- Winthorpe

Early split back Brooks CR size 50 fits like 46
It only took the Brooks 2 days to get from Detroit to Seattle, a day earlier than the USPS estimate. The jacket was sent in a big box and came out great. Thanks T4! It's more substantial than I expected for an early Brooks. Not anything heavy, but certainly not paper thin either. The hide...- Winthorpe

Early split back Brooks CR size 50 fits like 46
I bought the jacket from t4halo (it's already on its way to Seattle!) and I'm 6'5". Being that tall really limits your options when it comes to Vintage leather jackets. It takes a unicorn like this one. The only other Vintage jacket I own is a Brimaco cafe racer in size 46. That one is cut a...- Winthorpe

Experience with Lewis Leathers veg tanned sheepskin or Addict Clothes sheepskin
While I do not own either one I handled them both. Both hides are much better than what is used for an off-the-rack mall jacket. Here’s a thread that cover’s Lewis Leathers sheepskin in case you haven’t seen that one yet (link). Also, the US stockiest for Lewis Leathers, The Stronghold in...- Winthorpe

Addict Clothes AD-10 in Horsehide
I'm convinced they will. From my dealings with Satoshi I got the feeling that he spends a lot of time and energy to get every little detail just right. I could tell that he was bothered quite a bit when he found out that the core of the buckle was changed from metal to plastic. When I first...- Winthorpe

Addict Clothes AD-10 in Horsehide
I actually exchanged a couple of emails with the owner of Claymore, Carl Wilson, a couple of months ago. The leather wrapped buckle of my AD-10 broke one day while tightening the belt. To my surprise the core of the buckle was made of plastic. So I thought about using an antique brass buckle...- Winthorpe

Addict Clothes AD-10 in Horsehide
That looks great! I have never seen this style with a zipper cuff, but I think it works well. Looking forward to seeing more details. One question, what was the eBay search query you used to find it (if you don’t mind sharing)? I’ve been looking for an older (pre-Italian) Belstaff Trialmaster...- Winthorpe

PSA: Lewis Leathers will now allow orders without a logo on the front.
This is a bit off-topic, but I’m currently in LA and stopped by The Stronghold yesterday (US stockist for Lewis Leathers). They have a great selection of Lewis Leathers jackets in a variety of hides and colors. I chatted with them about the policy change on now being able to omit the Logo...- Winthorpe

Thoughts about Japanese brands
I believe the reason might be that Japan is one the world's top producers of acetate and renowned for its high quality finishing (quite often the frames are hand polished). My optical glasses are by a Danish producer that has their acetate frames made in Japan. Masunaga is one example of a...- Winthorpe

Thoughts about Japanese brands
Let me preface that what I'm about to say is without any authority, it's just an opinion. I find the general notion that someone who can't read or write Japanese should keep her or his opinions on anything Japanese to themselves ridiculous. Quite offensive actually. One year I visited Kyoto...- Winthorpe

Thoughts about Japanese brands
Thank you, I did not know that. On his website he lists an upcharge of around $400 for horsehide. I wonder if that is the very same chrome tanned horsehide that he used for the IHJ-35. Iron Heart says that is from a small tannery in Himeji (no surprise....). A little bit ago I was talking to...- Winthorpe

Thoughts about Japanese brands
That is not true for all their leather jackets. IH also partners with Four Speed leathers, a Japanese manufacturer. The models are IHJ-35 and IHJ-54 (and there are more I believe). I went to IH Hachioji (about 30 minutes from Tokyo if you take the fastest train) this June and tried on the...- Winthorpe

Thoughts about Japanese brands
To further feed Luke, some of the best Danish pastries and German cabbage rolls I had were in Japan. On-par with what you get in Denmark and Germany, among the best I have had. That I feel is what makes Japan special, the breadth of quality offerings from all around the globe, on par with what...- Winthorpe
