$400 OBO, free shipping in US. I have for sale my Simmons Bilt Klondike in Black Goatskin size 40. I’m 5’10” and 155 lbs and this jacket fits me great…fit pics are in the listing. I also created a thread on this jacket a while back...

Hi regius, I just snapped some closeup pics of the goat. I'd say it's lightweight, pliable, and tough feeling. Not very thick, which is why I ordered it. I believe it does have a coating, which is why it is a bit shiny now. Breaking in nicely too. I had Debs at SB ship me several samples of...

Thought I'd take some pics and post them before the weather gets too hot. My modified Simmons Bilt Klondike in Black Goatskin ... I took off the chest pocket, opted for a "plain" half belt back, and added zippers to the hand pockets. I originally ordered the sleeves way too long, and had a local...

There's a whole thread on cuffing leather jacket sleeves here if you're interested: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-do-you-think-about-rolling-up-the-sleeves-once-in-leather-jackets.91480/ I had a similar situation with a Simmons Bilt Klondike earlier this year. I ordered the...

I got the Town Boots in Glace Kid a while back and wrote an article on it: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-glace-kid-town-boots.94258/ I mentioned the sizing in the article. They were plenty wide but the length was a bit short for me. If you have Doc Martens, I'd recommend ordering...

On a recent trip to Patong, I was in search of a shoe repair shop and stumbled upon a place called Friendship Leather. I’ve been to several custom leather shops in Asia (particularly in Indonesia, China, and Thailand), but I thought this particular shop may be of interest to some Loungers. It...

Here's my Simmons Bilt in Black Goatskin that I got this autumn, worn about 20 times. It had a lot of grain out of the box, is relatively light, and loosens up in just a few minutes. And here's my Aero Seal Vicenza, about 1 year old. The leather has much less grain, feels a bit heavier and...

You could shoot Tony an email directly, they speak English: zb_24@126.com You could also install Taobao on your phone, go to the Tony Leather store page, and message the shop directly: I'd just talk to Tony about the fitting/selection process and shipping. Coincidentally, I need to send a...

Nothing wrong with having a beater that you don't really love for a functional foul-weather jacket! I've got 2 of those hanging in my closet at the moment. I think you made a wise choice going for the second-hand jacket before investing in the real deal. Cheers! And yeah, nice score on $150...

Great to hear from a veteran on this thread :) . Looking forward to seeing/hearing about your Tony Leather jacket. I agree that imports are a hassle in China, but sometimes, it's just worth the wait and headache to get them! How many fittings did you need for JP? And what was their turn around...
