    Chinese leather jackets

    Helped my brother acquire this tailor brando jacket recently. Hell of a jacket in my opinion. Pictures are too large for the website so here's an imgur link:

    Chelsea boots - who wears them? Recommendations please.

    As a budget pair I bought blundstone dress chelsea boots the other day. #1900. They look sharp and are comfortable. Not good year welted though.

    Hey guys. I've been wearing and enjoying my new black teacore steerhide jacket lately. But I've noticed an inconsistency in the leather. It's like the leather panel on the right arm has less of a top coat than the rest of the jacket. The leather is noticably courser when I run my finger tips...

    These brown Thedi jackets are simply gorgeous, the Espresso Tuscano Buffalo and the Chestnut Bruciato especially that I've seen in this thread. Are these leathers aniline?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My new Rugged West based on the marling. It's my first leather jacket and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It shows a lot of beautiful grain.

    She introduced me to this leather as her black teacore steerhide. The leather I recieved is very black, I would say jet black. The leather is soft and easy to wear straight from the box. It's slightly oily to the touch, but not sticky. It's not squeaky at all. It doesn't smell bad, but like a...

    Received my Rugged West jacket today in black steerhide. Fits very nicely and looks good. I wanted a jacket I could layer a thick shirt underneath. Stitching is flawless to my untrained eye. Leilah did a good job.

    Seems like she sent out a bunch at once. I have a jacket in the mail from her too, a marling in the black steerhide. Will post pics of it when it arrives.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Sending Shawn some badalassi or similar to use for a jacket... is that a crazy idea? Would still be half the price of an Aero according to my estimate.

    High Large Leather review

    2.3 mm thick button up, I'd be surprised if you can unbutton and button it up again

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Ease in a jacket for t-shirt fit. Has the lounge come to any conclusions on what looks good, but is still comfortable? I did some searching in this thread and for chest and waist, 4 inches of ease seems agreed upon there. But what about the following: - Shoulders - Cuffs - Forearm / elbow -...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    £1264 is outside of my budget. But hopefully in the future. And I've never found an off the rack leather jacket that has fit me quite right, so going thrifting is not an option or at the very least it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. I need long sleeves, 27.2"-27.5", in a size 42...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Pretty new to leather jackets, and I'm thinking about ordering a custom from Fivestar. I want a jacket that fits me personally, and I like their black hides well enough from the photos. The jacket I'm picturing is basically an Aero sheene, but with the hem of a highwayman (the horizontal stitch...

    This brown leather looks good to me, is that the mid brown horsehide?
