    Thanks for that supportive info. I do not know about you but if cool water works as well as shown with the OP’s pics I’d skip any additives myself. GoodLuck!

    Schott 656, sz.44 to tight. $265-OBRO.

    If you’ve any interest LMK. This link shows the deal, with me as a third party intermediary. It's an often catch and release and it's as advertised. Coats nice but too tight for me. The wrists liners are 100% originally fine. I’d add the seller claimed the garment was bagged since new. I’d...

    monitor: "Like Enfants Riches Deprimes or Vetements, Visvim clothes costs a lot. I recognize and it’s certainly great having your insights. I’m clueless other than Schotts quality 1 piece backs, and Aeros qualities. I’ve picked up a lot focused knowledge here. :) Be great to be riding again...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Considering dollars, that might be a different currency above.:oops: Oddly enough MBenz used to include the equivalent of throwaway leathers* with their spare tires in their 50s/60s autos trunks. It’s still my go-to. I believe it’s a no name Nubuck considered trunk coat. Exceptionally warm.

    WTB/Help wanted to build my winter heavy leather jacket

    I’d add one thing. I’m probably late to the party. Animal Leather is a 400,000 yrs old commodity. Today, vegan, is as in not animal skins products. To me anything not animal is pleather. Cactus-mangos-etc. fibrous plants are not skins. Plastic or other based pleathers. No thanks. Chemical...

    Fake Schott Made in usa cafe racer?

    As moniter posted I agree: I’ve seen this done rampantly on Ebay. Thats probably part of the reason they just sold-it. Probably a Chap-11 Bankruptcy reconfiguration. Purchased by Blackrock*(10%), Vanguard, Fidelity, SSg, etc. all as one corporation little doubt, I’d guess. This, as was...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    To: navetsea / El marro, I’d like to thank you both for adding to the overwhelming insight i’ve gained about leathers here. Hopefully this is a great read on leather maintenance from down-under. I found it in the depths of leathers mariana* trench rabbit-hole. :)...

    WTB/Help wanted to build my winter heavy leather jacket

    Unfortunately a day late, but it is an example of current data. Folks here seem to know deals, steals and how to sew. ;) Selling one off later covers the cost of everything. -imo- I’d bet at least one coats genuine, ..probably both. One needs a front closure zipper, no a big deal. This...

    Seeking the Holy Grail of Leather: In Quest of the Perfect Asymmetrical Jacket

    Getting Robbed on Roku

    Yes, I’ve noticed this threads nearly 6mo. old, but I’d suggest everyone do the same as the OP. I’ve also noticed vast I.T. upgrades precipitate these circumstances so keeping up with I.Ts vast upgrades is essential for secure I.T. Another one I’d heard from a well established individual was...
