I know there are pro's and con's discussed here and online about throwing your leather jacket in a washinng machine.
I had one jacket that was a bit odorous and put a small amount of detergent in with the jacket. No harm at all. I use the kind that is free of all scents, etc.
Today, I decided...
Like the title says; I'm looking to see if there is anyone that has used this product on either an old brown or cordovan leather jacket and what the result was after application of URAD cordovan color. I have an old jacket that is, to my eye, sort of a reddish brown. I'm thinking about applying...
I'm happened upon this seller on Etsy recently. They claim to be selling jackets made in and shipped from, Pakistan. There are a few they list that are nice looking, claiming to be 1.2mm HH, etc. Just wondering if anyone has had or heard of experience with their product. After giving 5* some of...
I got this today from a local seller. I'm not 100% sure if this is the 1950s or 1930s type Aero halfbelt. It is heavy and W.A.R.M.!! Way to warm to wear right now. Fit seems good and I think I could layer a sweater underneath if needed. Storm cuffs are lovely and in great condition.
Sizing tag...
Can anyone identify this jacket as to maker, age, etc? I'm guessing it is sort of an Hercules style jacket but with no label, and the way the HH tag is stitched on the side of the interior, just not sure if it's a FrankenJacket or what.

Looking to see if anyone has direct experience with this one. Any pro's/con's to the pattern or cut that 5* uses? Anything I should know or be considering when (if)...
I've been to his website; did Google searches and have been looking here as well. What I'm trying to figure out is this: does anyone with direct experience know how squeaky these jackets typically are?
For some people it doesn't matter but I am just not a fan of any squeak beyond "a little". Thanks
Happy New Year, all!
Does anyone have this jacket? I've been looking at it and wondering pro's or con's from anyone who has had one or handled it. Your thoughts appreciated. (I did a google search and a search here but didn't get much in the way of hits). Thanks...
I just picked up a Sterlingwear of Boston 100% wool Reefer peacoat for cheap. Just missing one button that looks like the attached picture. I'm doing some google searching but not coming up with a lot that matches. Any ideas on a good source for a replacement? Thanks!
I know about Vanson and Schott. I feel sure there may be a variety of other jacket makers based in the US. Those who do custom work and those who are more OTR. Is there a list anywhere on here (I've searched and couldn't find one...may be operator error)? Otherwise, please give your ideas for...
As stated, I'm thinking about having a crosszip made. I know that I want a low-profile one, rather than the "rock-star" type. To that end, it would have two handwarmer pockets, one external pocket with snap closure and one internal pocket. No epaulets, no external, zippered pocket(s), no studs...
I've been doing some online searching in an attempt to determine what exactly I want from a local cobbler. I have a pair of Frye Prison boots and it's time to resole them. I do not want lug type soles nor crepe. I don't really care for the cork/rubber mix that I've seen pictures of online...
FiveStar Leather Men's Civilian Vintage Windbreaker Jacket Buffalo Dis – fivestarleather
I saw this among the many newer offerings on the website and wonder how it looks, feels and drapes in real life. Does anyone have one of these and if so, what leather did you get. How do you like it? Any...
Does anyone happen to have any experience with this particular jacket, in cow/steer hide? I'm wondering about how the fit is, in a given size. Specifically, with all the talk on TFL about patterns and how they fit, I'd appreciate it anyone with direct experience with this jacket as a regular...
Hello. I'm considering a custom jacket order and have to make a choice of one of these hides. All other things being equal, which would you choose and why?
If it matters, the jacket would be along the lines of a Highwayman style, not for MC riding.
Thanks in advance.
So, can anyone shed light on this company? I can't seem to find an online hit with Google searching and one of the employees at Johnson Leather co. said that it wasn't his company.
I found a jacket online, second hand, with that tag. Wondering who might have made it, what kind of leather, etc. I...
Hello. I'm looking for anyone who has one or more of these jackets. How have they been holding up? Any pictures of them as they break in? Would you recommend them? Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
