    Buzz Rickson M-65 help needed please

    Indeed, "do not wash" and "do not wet clean". The underscored circled F means "dry clean with petroleum solvent only".

    Buzz Rickson M-65 help needed please

    Perhaps you've got a different iteration of the jacket, but as it sounds quite weird that a garment specifically says not to wash something at all, I've queried and found this picture in this site - https://sonofastag.com/products/buzz-ricksons-m-65-combat-field-jacket-olive-drab "Launder...

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    I find the price is quite steep. Do we have any pieces made by her or the person/people who will make them in London that we can check out? Also, it would be interesting to know lead times and how much customization will be allowed (is it limited to customizing currently available models? Can...

    PSA: Revolut has increased its buyer protection to 360 days after transaction

    Hey all! Making this thread as I didn't see any existing one where this would fit and as there's always talks around here about makers with lead times that end up going far overboard, thus why posting it here. Revolut has increased their window to dispute a payment to 90 days after receiving...

    Help identifying age - Vanson Leather

    There should be a serial number somewhere, likely in one of the inside pockets. You can send that via email to Vanson - vanson@vansonleathers.com - and they'll let you know when it was made.

    Chinese leather jackets

    Nice! Do we know of any difference when it comes to them? I doubt they'll be exactly the same as then they should just be under the same banner even if made in the same factory.

    What's the number? I can't find it in his website (unsure if it's allowed to post here too).

    Chinese leather jackets

    How can you contact him? Chat feature in the website or over some email? The website is kinda barebones, like the contact links just redirect to the Search function. For example, this jacket and this jacket look pretty much identical, one is clearly from Veluokldly but the other has no picture...

    Chinese leather jackets

    Ah yes, there's still taxes and also the duties to pay, but at least it's not 150% (or whatever the number is now or will be tomorrow), which is what I was referring to. What would be great is if Tailor Brando would simply acknowledge the different brands, as I was looking at what models I'm...

    Well, I'm in Europe so no US taxes for me :P

    If you had to wear just 1 pair of boots for the rest of your life, what would they be?

    I haven't tried RWs, but my GS' soles just simply don't feel like they are too grippy or even durable. Any kind of tread or ridges was basically gone in a couple weeks. I believe RW uses Vibram soles while GS mounts their own, so there may be a difference there. Still very comfy, though!

    If you had to wear just 1 pair of boots for the rest of your life, what would they be?

    I'm not a fan of the question because I'm a big fan of complementary items. For example, I got my Grant Stone mocs with a wedge sole and they are extremely comfy... But I would never want to wear them on a dirt trail because I distrust the wedge to perform well there. You know what? I actually...

    Chinese leather jackets

    I've read good things about Veluokldly too, I'm honestly tempted to just test my luck with one of these two brands from Tailor Brando, just as a fun gamble. I would just wish to be able to easily buy "directly" from Jia Shi or Veluokldly or XYZ instead of using Tailor Brando as an aggregator.

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    Reviving this thread as it's warm these days and I've been wearing a jacket from a well known commercial brand in blue suede leather. I got it at a sale (paid like 300€) and it was kind of a superfluous buy because I just did cause I thought it fit me really good (and I still think it does)...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I think both look great as well! At a glance, I wouldn't be able to tell which one is the mall brand and which isn't. Actually what surprises me is that the Jack N Jones is actually wool, even if not 100%. I might look into Pike Brothers for a peacoat myself, as the one I got I've outgrown in...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This one is kinda tempting, but the lack of measurements drives me away. Dude is shorter and heavier than me, too much of a gamble.

    Chelsea boots - who wears them? Recommendations please.

    Brannock isn't a thing here in EU, but I wear 10G in my RM Williams Craftsman, 10.5D in Red Wing and Grant Stone, 10.5 UK (Which varies by brand but it's usually 11.5 US and 45.5 EU) in most sneakers.

    Chelsea boots - who wears them? Recommendations please.

    I got a pair of RM Williams and really like them. Fit good and good quality, I particularly like that they are made in a single piece of leather, as I quite loathe seeing the stitch on each side under the elastic band on Chelsea boots. I've both dressed them up and down. Of all you've said, I...

    Field Leathers

    Certainly one of my gripes. I don't have IG, it's not a store and then what's the point in hosting a website? Not uncommon with other makers but still.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    They are great! Saw them with Amorphis and Soilwork, that was great value for a single gig!
