    Leather choices ...

    i have a SB Roadster in black ranger horsehide. i chose it from all the samples Deb sent as i thought it would not need much break in and have the good amount of drape pretty quick. And i am really happy with the results. I am about order to their Klondike in the Brown smooth horse. Again...

    Waxed Leather Jackets

    I have seen these before and i like but its too close to my Aero HWM in oil pull-up and i have too many other styles to get first. :rolleyes: And i am working on an order for a button up work coat in a more traditional brown veg/chrome tan. Otherwise i would be interested. What size just out...

    How do YOU break in a new jacket?

    I recently tried a method i read on this forum for softening up a jacket. I put my Schott 370 roughout jacket in the spin drier on cold for 30 minutes. Helped a lot, it drapes better and conforms to my body and movements how i like now. Tumbled Brown CXFQHH is a product that undergoes a...

    Waxed Leather Jackets

    Here's an average photo of my Schott 370. Roughout steerhide. I like the look of it for a pretty casual jacket, a dressed up Jeremiah Johnson look. Definitely not dressy. It was stiff so i put it in the clothes dryer on spin no heat and wears a lot easier now.

    Waxed Leather Jackets

    Waxed Leather Jackets

    Informative and condescending. I know some highend boot makers use waxed Flesh like Nicks Boots and Viberg call it something different plus Whites have something as well. These waxed leather boots are popular. I understand what works in boots might not work in a jacket but was interested if...

    Waxed Leather Jackets

    I am curious as to why this type of leather is so rare in jackets. A few reasons come to mind but hard for an amateur like me to know exactly how much weight each reason has. Definitely what you have mentioned, that basically waxed flesh leather doesnt allow for as much pricing...

    Waxed Leather Jackets

    Stumbled across this Satchel & Page Montgomery Type 2 trucker and it is listed as being British waxed leather. It looks gorgeous. Does anyone have experience with waxed leather jackets? I know waxed leather is popular in boots but i have not seen or heard much waxed leather in jackets. Again...
