    Brand/Jacket review: Naked Sun thunder road in redblack buffalo

    Mine doesn't have it, I handled another unlined one who also didn't have it. But maybe the later version with lining and the butterfly collar does have it.

    Brand/Jacket review: Naked Sun thunder road in redblack buffalo

    That's so cool, they really made a faithful repro of the original, construction quirks included. The Barnstormer doesn't have the stash pocket. I think the Winchester and the Smoke jacket originally had it. I wonder why they call the Winchester repro 'the little wing'. Freewheelers also called...

    Brand/Jacket review: Naked Sun thunder road in redblack buffalo

    Very cool! It looks like to be an exact copy of the original except for the missing topstitch on the sleeve zippers. How is the collar attached to the body? Original EW jackets have this super weird construction with the rough unfolded edge showing.

    The level of 'tailoring' these two companies do is worlds apart.

    Why not that much love for Schott 530?

    Are you situated in Europe? If so check out Vinted, there are tons of Schott jackets listed there.

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

    Nice one, I own the exact same jacket but with silver tone buttons.

    Why not that much love for Schott 530?

    To me this jacket looks boring. Nothing about it really stands out other than the center back seam and the handwarmer pockets, features that I strongly dislike on a cafe racer. Personally I don't mind about the windflap but for some people that would be a deal breaker.

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    I don't think this jacket was ever treated with conditioner before I got it.

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    It's a stunning jacket, I love the color combination. But personally I would have added two or three inches body length. I don't see a reason why you should confine to short jackets only. Actually, I think the longer body length of the Vanson for instance looks absolutely great on you. Much...

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    I thought that was accomplished by a thing called sandpaper lol.

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    Maybe it's a combination of tanning and climate? You know I've handled a ton of vintage leather jackets in Japan. I didn't get the impression that jackets deteriorated faster in general over there.

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    Good one, I used regular Saphir shoe cream.

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    Personally I wouldn't worry too much about the durability of Aero's leathers. You'd have to wear your jacket regularly for about two decades before you might see decay like this. Those leathers can't be replicated because back in the days they used harmful chemicals like mercury when tanning...

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    I've handled a lot of vintage jackets of various conditions, some leathers withstand the test of time better than others. Capeskin / sheepskin / lambskin is the most delicate. Goatskin is tough as nails. Chrome tanned Horsehide or steerhide from the mid 50s or earlier is very durable, when dried...

    Is it just in my head or is the Real McCoys B3 much better made than Eastmans?

    That's the inflated UK price. Actual price is ¥550k which is about £2880.

    Is it just in my head or is the Real McCoys B3 much better made than Eastmans?

    It depends on how you define better. Better as in 'closer to original', neater stitching, thicker leather, better hardware, curly vs straight shearling, the density of the shearling etc etc. More expensive doesn't equal better quality. Price can be inflated due to middle man costs, shipping...
