    Not so happy experience with Vanson repair

    I'm sure that the shoe repair is getting rich, $2 at a time. The shoe repair guy who lets him get away without paying, when he forgets to bring cash. Shoe repair is a dying art. Very few people have the knowledge. And even if they want to learn, there's not trade school. It could happen...

    The Universal Language. Violence. The world over is able to communicate with brute force.

    Not so happy experience with Vanson repair

    The knit cuff is on the liner. A liner which zips into the jacket. That's not necessary. The shop should not be slandered for a mistake from decades ago. But keep in mind that mistakes can and do happen. Even the best of the shops, can have an employee in the back room with a pair of...

    Custom Made Leather Jacket

    The jacket sold on Amazon is a piece of garbage.

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    This is the Boston model that they sell. The large, single piece of leather on the back is a nice touch. This is a mid-length jacket, which goes over the duty belt, with slits on the side seams to allow for access to the firearm. I have worn this jacket on a motorcycle, in the rain, and in...

    Custom Made Leather Jacket

    There's a jacket sold on Amazon, which uses pictures of a Bronco Manufacturing A-2. The jacket which they ship to you is nothing like the the pictures.

    Not so happy experience with Vanson repair

    I have a leather jacket that I just did not like the sleeve length. Relaxed, with my arms at my side, the sleeve covered the first knuckles of my fingers. I wanted to shorten it a few inches, so that the sleeve would go to the first joint of my thumb. I brought the jacket to a local leather...

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    This is the lowest price leather jacket they sell. The N-143. On my jacket, a badge tab was added to the left chest. There are side entry, inside pockets for carrying a handgun. A motorcycle rider could use those pockets for registration and insurance documents. Or you can carry your...

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    I have several Taylor jackets. All are great quality. Nothing wrong with the leather, build quality, or fit. Some people don't like leather from Columbia and Pakistan. Me? I remove the label which says Made In Pakistan.

    Anyone know if Schott does Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

    You will notice that they all wear off the rack. Short guys have longer jackets and sleeves past the knuckles. Fat guys have guts poking out. Not everyone is an athletic figure model. The cut of the jacket is athletic. Bi-swing back to accommodate movement when using equal or lesser force...

    Anyone know if Schott does Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

    In case anyone is wondering how the jacket is suppose to fit, or has some wild idea that the jacket should be tight and short......

    What Are The Hottest Leather Jacket Brands of 2021?

    The image may be flipped. Badges are worn on the left chest. Vertical eyelets. Name tags are worn on the right chest. Horizontal eyelets. If the image is correct, then the manufacturer placed those holes incorrectly. Not a big deal. Nobody buying that jacket is actually using it for...

    Anyone know if Schott does Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

    It should be noted that for authenticity, if you are currently in a small handful of police departments which issue this jacket, this is the jacket you get. NY State, NY City, Philadelphia.....maybe a few smaller departments. Current officers, if lucky enough to work motorcycles or horses, are...

    Anyone know if Schott does Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

    At the present, they are offering 30% off. A good price. Shipping is free. 3rd world countries are capable of producing top quality. Nikes and iPhones from China. Harley Davidson motorcycles from India. I have a few Taylor jackets. There is nothing wrong with them. The imported...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    That was a time in my life when I practically lived in nightclubs. Awkward to see those same entertainers, still trying to do the same act today. I'm not the only person clinging to lost youth. Grandmas are producing music videos for songs that they had 30 years ago, and cramming themselves...

    The Ride

    From city to city, the online map says 561 miles. Door to door, it's a little more. 2 saddlebags. 1 for each of us. Only toiletries, clean socks, and clean underwear. We'll be wearing our entire wardrobe during the ride, and those will be the same clothes we're wearing for the entire trip...
