Man I haven’t thought about her in years. She posted all the time when I first started hanging out here. She has a very cool collection.

The naked cowhide from Johnson Leather is quite soft and wearable right out of the box. Most of their jackets are made for riding but they can make pretty much anything you might want and in this hide it would probably be in your budget.

I like the way you think, I may have to borrow that line myself.

Having handled a goatskin Cascade at the Langlitz shop in Portland I can attest that it is an impressive hide. So much so that I almost bought the jacket, even though the arms were at least 2 inches too long for me.

I can’t think of a single time where this has been the case. Everyone who orders a Himel is super stoked on the idea of having a custom (not gonna say bespoke, not gonna go there…) jacket made just for them and they behave accordingly. having said that your jacket looks amazing and it’s nice to...

If she doesn’t eat spicy hot pot then I don’t want anything to do with her. We’ll have to agree to disagree about the virgin thing though.

Maybe there is some past history here that I missed out on but just from reading this thread it seems like you are taking everything Marc says quite personally and reacting accordingly. That doesn’t seem warranted here, after all we come here to share our opinions and thoughts and to disagree...

This is such a beauty! I particularly love the lining, which looks like it could have been cut from one of my Grandmother’s tablecloths.

I agree. People who actually work in boots all know about Red Wing (not their Heritage Line, but their true work boots) but that isn’t a very large percentage of the population.

I think White’s Semi Dress deserve a mention if we’re discussing great American boots. I think it strikes the perfect balance between work boot and dress shoe.

I see what you are talking about, but it doesn’t look bad to me in the photos you posted. Does it make the jacket uncomfortable to wear? If so, then it is a problem, but if not, I wouldn’t worry about it.

I usually fast forward to the part where the jacket is already laying on the floor…

When I was your age every spare penny I had went to buy marijuana and beer, so I sympathize with the budget realities of a college student versus some of us who are further along In life and have more disposable income to play with. But I take issue with you describing anyone who has responded...

Most people who order a 5* go into the process with fairly low expectations and many of them are still quite disappointed with the result.

I had a good experience with my two orders but I remember you had a particularly bad experience with one of yours, I would agree that Stuart is not the kind of person you want to be dealing with if things go wrong.
