    <<< Field Leathers ~ The Chicago jacket >>>

    I’m curious to know if anyone here has some real world experience with the Chicago jacket from Field Leathers. My questions mostly have to do with how this pattern wears. Do the under arm gussets actually provide for increased mobility? I tried a Mulholland jacket back a year or two ago (a...

    <<< Do you ever ignore measurements? >>>

    As the title states … have you ever bought a jacket because you just love the look of it even though the measurements don’t look like they’ll work? I can admit to doing this several times in my relatively short time here … For example: The Flat Head Single Riders (fantastic leather, loved the...

    <<< FS - SZ 44 Flat Head Single Rider >>>

    For sale is this beautiful Flat Head Single Riders jacket size 44. I purchased this from Rivet and Hide in London in November of last year. I’ve only worn it about a dozen times and have taken good care. On the web site they call it black, but I’d call it a dark brown / black. under the...

    <<< incoming from Good Wear >>>

    Hello folks, I thought I’d share my new Good Wear Hercules jacket with you all. Many of you already know that John is just such a pleasure to work with. He took a lot of time to speak to me about this pattern, and how he has learned to perfect it over time. What drew me to Good Wear was...

    <<< incoming … The Flat Head Single Rider’s >>>

    Good afternoon everyone. I thought I’d share a new jacket purchase that arrived a couple of days ago from Rivet and Hide. First off, I don’t post much here mainly because many of my jacket purchases just haven’t worked out the way I had hoped. With the exception of a few, I’ve largely bought...

    <<< Incoming Good Wear Hercules >>>

    It’s only appropriate, that this jacket be passed on from one pony tail wearer to another :rolleyes:. A big thanks to @jonesy86 for reaching out to me. I’ve been on the look out for a Good Wear Hercules and knew I’d never get one made to order, so when this one originally came up for sale, I...

    <<< age appropriate jackets >>>

    I had an interesting conversation with a friend the other day. We were discussing our stage in life (mid fifties) and all that goes with it. Eventually the topic of personal style came up. We joked a lot about styles from the 80’s etc., and what may look good on some folks, doesn’t always...

    <<< understanding fit/measurements >>>

    Good day all, I’m hoping to draw on the forum members experience here. I understand that tag size has little to do with how a jacket will fit (at least I think I’ve got that much right). What I’m not fully understanding is how body measurements in relation to the pattern, affects the fit...

    Giveaway ?

    I did a quick search and didn’t come up with anything, so I thought I’d post here in this forum as it’s been where I spend my time. Apologies to the mods who may need to move this:rolleyes: I’m wondering if the forum (content decision makers) have ever considered a “giveaway” for say a jacket...

    Waxed canvas ... how does it wear?

    I’m curious to know if any of you own or have experience with wearing waxed canvas jackets. I’m looking at buying one of these (attached is an example from Freenote) I would be interested in hearing how they wear compared to other fabrics or even leather. I gather they are a bit stiff at...

    <<< Aero Premier Half Belt vs Hercules

    Good morning, I’d like to know if anyone can comment on how these two jackets differ in terms of fit. I know it varies depending on the wearer body size etc etc. For reference, I’m 6’2” and weigh 175 lbs. my measurements are 41-42 chest, 33” waist. I realize what I'm asking is highly...

    Newbie ~ advice on what’s what with different jacket patterns

    Ok guys and gals ... apologies for the long post here. I’d like your assistance on some basics when it comes to choosing the right leather jacket (for me). I know that you can’t read my mind but I’m just looking for general comments as to what jackets “might be best suited” for the following...

    <<< Incoming from Himel Bros >>>

    Good day all. I just thought I’d share my very first “good” leather jacket with you all. Admittedly I’m very green when it comes to this but when I started doing research, I somehow landed here on this forum. Thanks to everyone who contributes. The information I have learned here was...

    <<< noobie question >>>

    Good morning all, I’m Brian and new here. I’ve been researching my first “quality” leather jacket and I’ve narrowed it down to the Himel Bros Imperial. I’m sort of stuck on the leather I’d like to use and wondered if some of you more experience could help me decide. This will be my one...
