For summer storage. I roll the softer ones up like an egg roll and stack them up on a shelf. The stiffies still goes on the hanger though.

One last wear of leather before rolling it up and putting it away for the summer. Pony hide is quite the surprise.

me too...

There is a gent on this forum who has both a Flat Head jacket and a stock Johnson M200 jacket. If you do a search you can find both his posts on both of the jackets. I've got both Langlitz and Johnson jackets, and I would say they are made equally well but different fit patterns. I do not...

Just Gap trucker jacket. Total 6 pockets, my summer time men's bag.

In my experience the lower down the gusset goes the better the movement. Also it would depend how much fold there is on the inside of the gusset. The motorcycle brands have deeper gussets for more extension. The gussets will wrinkle up with wear and that might not be streamline looking...

That's great you got your flight ticket booked! I was there back in '03 and it was very different then. Just temp checks on the highway stops and at airports. Things have definitely changed a lot since then.

No sure about now but they were running them at least once or twice a year during the early 2000s. They were the only brand I recognized back then, there were many others in the near by area. The sight of loaded racks of jackets was an impressive sight.

That’s what I figured, they had some new person who was being trained on the fly but maybe not quite settled into the new role. Glad you got your money back. Maybe Lewis can be an option down the road when they develop their new Rip. For now there are many other options!

There are more than a few pre war jackets that had the half belt back with waist cinch and some sort of map pocket or later known as D pocket up front. They just weren’t so “D” shaped until maybe the first Hercules. TMitchell has quite the collection of those in the vintage thread. Worth...

It must been really hard for such long time. I still talk to an old colleague who is Taiwanese who has a Chinese wife and family and unfortunately he also lives in Shanghai. And he has trouble getting a travel pass too. And he also tried to take his whole family back to Taiwan but no luck...

Exactly. When it comes to custom shirts, my tailor has a board with different collar samples, different cuff samples, different placket samples...etc. Greg runs his operation like that, but there isn't a lot of samples or "how to buy" guides. I'll take a pic of what my tailor does next time I...

@oskar Early Congrats! Just saw this on Greg's posting and I figured it's yours. Pony hide rocks. Deerskin soft but horsehide tough.

The thing with Art is that while it may not have any value now it can potentially worth more down the road. Hope this is an incentive to not acetone it which will get rid of it.

I've washed my Aeros and many others.. Always cold water and always hang dry, no heat. The washing machine drums makes squeaking noise when its spinning dry. Washing two at a time will balance it out and no squeaking. These are heavy jackets especially when soaked through. If I am washing...

His Peters mock up (a few pages back) didn’t have pockets. And I was in the no mock up jacket camp then. Now I’m two mock up jackets and pockets on mock up jacket pusher!
