    Chance to buy a Toys McCoy Easy Rider in Horsehide?

    I have a chance to buy a Toys McCoy Easy Rider in horsehide for $500-$600. Jacket is in perfect shape. I dunno how accurate the pattern is bc I don't know the jacket, but it's a three piece back with gussets, one piece sleeves. No gussets on the sleeve zips. Leather vertical stripes on the...

    The Real McCoy's Buco J-100 Size 42 Brand New and Unworn

    This is the first of a bunch of jackets I will be liquidating. The Real McCoy's Buco J-100, size 42, 19110, from the latest batch RMC released. This jacket is brand new and unworn. It was tried on, I immediately preferred the fit of the size 40, and this was photographed and put back in the...

    Mods please delete

    This sales thread was posted while the site was having technical issues, and now appears to be permanently corrupted. I will repost the jacket on a new thread.

    Real McCoy's unlined J-100 (BJ19001) experiences?

    Anyone have any experience with this jacket? Wondering about four things... 1. The measurements are different than both the current lined version, the BJ19110, and the older lined version, the BJ9110. Does the unlined version fit more like the 19110 or the 9110? Or somewhere in between the two...

    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    Hoping I could borrow the forum's expertise here... Does anything about this jacket read wrong to you Lords of Leather? Stitching, materials, label? Or does it look good? Just bought this, these are seller pics. It's described as new without tags. I've seen similar brown versions before, they...

    Flat Head Stand Collar Single Riders vs Real McCoy’s Buco J-100

    Fit aside (in general, both McCoy’s and FH fit me well), which cafe racer would you do?

    Real Mccoys Buco BJ21002 Style King… Patina experiences?

    Does anybody here have one? I like everything about this jacket… up to and including the embossed pattern on the horse hide. However questions about how that embossing will age is what’s keeping me from pulling the trigger. Can anybody tell me what to expect with regards to wear and patina...

    Should this have been caught by John Lofgren QC?

    Just took delivery of a pair of Lofgren M43 Service Shoes 10th Anniversary in Italian veg-tan horsehide. Bought through an authorized dealer, per the Lofgren website. The boots are beautiful, but there is a section of leather on the left boot’s inner heel area that looks a little weird to me...

    Gents, Anyone have any pics of jackets in this leather? Closeups of the grain, finish, etc? Ideally black, bOr just some words on various qualities/drawbacks of the leather? Would also love to know who produces it, and the tanning process. I haven’t seen a horsehide called this from anyone...

    Eat Dust x Lewis Leathers 988 Western

    Just picked this up. Very happy with it. For anyone wondering about the material (as this is not disclosed in any of the descriptions online), it is a steer hide, not the standard sheepskin LL usually uses for their suede/roughout. One could call it either a heavy midweight or a lighter...

    Cone Mills selvedge ID (ticking) authentication question...

    Denim experts... Should all modern (say, 2000 to 2014) Cone Mills selvedge denim Levis jeans feature identical ID ticking? Or were there variations in the width according to what year the jean was produced, which cut, wash, what Levis collection it was released under (LVC, Made & Crafted) etc...

    Help, shoeheads... work boot tiers: Wesco/Viberg/White's

    I've been looking into top-end heritage work boots (excluding the super crazy expensive/exclusive Japanese homage stuff), and if I understand things, it appears Wesco and Viberg are pretty much equal with regards to build quality and materials, while White's is equal in terms of materials, but...

    Lewis Leathers Italian Horsehide question

    Just bought a Universal Racer Mk2 constructed of what is described as “horse hide tanned in Italy”. The production card is dated May 27th, 2017. The leather is quite thin... a bit lighter-weight than Vicenza, with a more uniform finish and much smoother, smaller grain. My question is, does...

    Is all Aero Vicenza leather veg-tanned?

    Gentlemen: Is all the Vicenza leather used by Aero veg-tanned? Is it a Horween product or from an Italian factory? Or is it sourced from multiple companies?.. My question arose because I’m looking through the Aero sales section, and in a few of the listings for Vicenza jackets, the leather is...

    Aero X LVC Motorcycle Jacket size 42/Large

    I just bought this vintage Aero X LVC jacket, but I’m not sure it’s me. Thinking of flipping it. This jacket is a collaboration between Aero and Levis Vintage Clothing. LVC calls it a Large, but for this style of jacket, I reckon it’s somewhere between what Aero calls a 40 and a 42... Or what...

    Narrowing the sleeves on a Johnson leather m-jean jacket

    Gentlemen: I just took delivery of a beautiful new trucker jacket in black nubuck from Johnson Leather. It’s a fantastic jacket, the quality is second to none. Every measurement fits like a glove, except for the sleeves, which I’d prefer a little trimmer. The cuffs are perfect, it’s the middle...

    Aero Trail Rider

    Gentlemen... does anyone here own a Trail Rider or have pictures of one being worn? I have been unable to find any images. Particularly interested in a pic of it being worn open. I understand it is a shorter cut than most Aero jackets. Many thanks
