    FS: 46 Fine Creek Leathers Harris

    Size 46 Fine Creek Harris in 1.3mm horsehide. Purchased brand new from Self Edge in 2022 on a whim and wore once on the plane ride home from NYC. Meant to wear it in and make it my primary coat, but ended up not wearing it again. Combination of our cold weather and it just didn't seem to suit...

    Fur coats?

    I have a buffalo coat just like the one Arnie is wearing in that picture. I got if from my dad, who had it gifted to him years ago. It's massive and the warmest thing I've ever worn. My buddies found old RCMP buffalo coats and we wear them in the winter to CFL games when it's snowing or we go to...

    Iron Heart / Simmons Bilt Blattwork Jacket

    I really like the product itself, although it would be nice if sizing was a little more consistent across their products. Not sure why I need to be different sizes in one shirt vs another and then other sizes in jackets as well. Wish it wasn't so pricey either, but that seems to be everything...

    IRonheart M-51 thoughts on weather proofing

    Actually I have the IH fishtail parka as well, it works not bad when it's really cold as it's good against the wind and blowing snow. It usually fits pretty big so it's best for layering with a sweater underneath. When we get the big snowstorms with -30 to -40C it can work ok, but I also use my...

    IRonheart M-51 thoughts on weather proofing

    I’d look for somewhere local to maybe try on some IH items as their sizes vary. Go by their measurements on their website as that’s usually quite accurate. I’m usually a L or X-LARGE in most brands but with IH I’m a XXL in most of their coats and a XXXL in shirts. I have the IH deck jacket and...

    Fit advice - Fine Creek Leon

    I've thought of this coat, but without trying it on first there's no way I want to pay the money. I'll be in NYC next month and hope to hit up a few places and see what I can try on from various brands in this sort of style. I'm hoping to stop by Schott, Self-Edge, Standard & Strange and...

    Himel Brothers Leather Co.

    I picked up their camp shirt in blue when it first came out, if their leathers are anything like the shirt then I need to start planning on what to purchase. The shirt is fantastic - the fit, materials and construction are top notch. I'm just a little hesitant about ordering online, I'll...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    We've gone from +35c to -35c, although we could get a chinook at any time during the winter and it will go to +10 literally the next day (and then back again).

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Yep it's cold here - definitely parka weather. Biggest problem is car batteries being dead in the morning, along with pipes freezing and all that sort of fun stuff. It's manageable if you dress for it, we're all going out tonight to an outdoor light show at the zoo :D

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Yep, I'm wearing a long sleeve henley with a tee underneath and my IH N-1 is perfectly warm at -15C this morning.

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    I have a pair of IH 21oz I picked up new, but I don't wear them enough to really break them in very quickly. I picked up almost the same pair second hand for about $100 already broken in and I really love them. The used routes seems pretty good to me all things considered. Also really like the...

    FS: Size 46 Freewheelers Brakeman - Tatanka Brown

    Bought this earlier this year from another forum member - fantastic jacket, but I've only worn it once or twice and it just hangs in my closet. Rather than just hang on to it, I'd rather sell it to someone who can get a lot more use and enjoyment out of it. From the original listing: Extremely...
