    Stopping dye bleeding/dye transfer from my leather jacket's belt?

    I noticed that Badalassi has the same issue with the dye rubbing off, the Nappa Lux version in black. I applied a little Lexol leather cleaner which is basically glycerin, applied on a swatch sample and it turned the white cloth black. Not sure but I imagine a jacket might transfer in areas like...

    My Regius Made Original Half Belt

    I really like that Hermann Oak leather, Reg let me try his. I could tell he likes to support local tanning companies which is very admirable but first the Oak leather is just amazing but not suited my my climate but that might change one day. And I’ve already told him that I’m open to other...

    My Regius Made Original Half Belt

    Some of these pictures I took for fun just to show the contrast between different leathers on other jackets and even my black chrome tanned Wilson Gym bag, then a Bennet Winch bag that I bought for a steal as a floor display model, 1/3 of the original price. They just say Vegatable Tanned...

    My Regius Made Original Half Belt

    Thank you very much for all the positive comments. I’m not blowing smoke, Reg is a class act, like Greg from Field leather which I video chatted with and is just a regular guy like us. Not arrogant or anything. I had a really I great experience getting to meet Reg in person, (I hope I’m not...

    My Regius Made Original Half Belt

    While I work on a review and Proper fit photos, I wanted to share this beauty with the world. I have been wanting to try something new, considering I have two cafe racers and as soon as I saw Tony’s Windward, I decided it was the time for a Half Belt, so I struck up a conversation about it with...

    Field Leathers

    Thank you, I didn’t even mean to order two cafe racers believe it or not. After ordering from Fields, Dave Himel called me on my cell months after I inquired about their products, not surprisingly because small jacket manufacturers are notorious for their late communication. So since Greg was...

    Field Leathers

    Bespoke leather briefcase for sale

    I have a sunglasses case made by this maker and not only is it perfect, he prices his products for lower than they are worth and makes them in Italy. The hand painting looks better in person

    Price difference in Japan?

    I was looking at a backpack the other day that was a couple hundred dollars more when it navigated me to the USA site. If I was really wanted it I’d look into a proxy. Buyee.com has been reliable for me

    Dyeing leather jacket

    This isn’t exactly the same thing but these have been my workhorse of boots for the last year, they are Junkard Indonesian service boots in Italian Rocado Natural Shell Cordovan, I used a the lightest color Saphir Shell cordovan cream just once but what you see is just rain and Florida sunshine...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I get it, see those holes all over eBay. I think just like many things most of us have got rid of, they didn’t know the value that these vintage pieces would have.

    Exploring the Uncharted Territory of Crocodile Leather Jackets

    some snake or lizard skin make really nice looking wallet outer shells or trim pieces, but gator is pushing it. Maybe a watch strap. I’m curious if the 2nd jacket is really alligator or printed leather

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Sadly my White’s MP’s were all over the place too. I’d hit them up if I were you, I would have but purchased the last pair retailer sale and didn’t feel like fighting a return because they were final sale but if you bought directly from the company, you should definitely hit them up for a new...
