    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Here's another restoration project. It may not look like much but I've been looking for one of these for years. This is the pic from the eBay listing. It's a mid 40s Phillips 66 gas station attendant jacket. More often than not these jackets are missing the patch but they're easily...

    Is that just shipping or does it also include VAT and import duties? $120 for just shipping seems excessive.

    That's what it's made for. I had to use it on my FL jacket as well, those repro zips' tapes aren't great. He should switch to using Universal (YKK).

    I understand your sentiment but this is true for pretty much each and every jacket. Ten years ago an ELMC Californian cost £825, today you'll pay €750 for a second hand one. A Lewis Leathers Dominator was £525, today you'll pay more than that for a second hand one. This Buco J-27 was $41.50...

    Some time ago I got this mid 50s Buco J27, unfortunately the seller failed to disclose that the main zip was missing one of its teeth. I really wasn't sure whether or not it would work but it was worth trying. I pulled a tooth from a NOS talon and clamped it in place using a pair of pliers. It...

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    It's not a bad looking jacket by any means. It's just that I'm visually used to the dimensions of the vintage originals. Therefore if I were to order this jacket new from Aero I'd spec it shorter. AFAIK the J-106 is not an exact repro nor is it based on a particular vintage design but it does...

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    I wouldn't worry about the shoulder droop or the baggy chest, those look perfectly fine to me. The deal breaker for me would be the body length which is about two inches too long for the style.

    Field Leathers

    If I remember correctly Greg once told me he can sew one jacket a day. What costs time though is communicating with customers (some customers literally send hundreds of emails), pattern making and design tweaks. That's why the collabs are so lucrative: standard sizing of one and the same design...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's due to size and the side adjusters. Suit jackets should not be buttoned up when on a hanger because the front of a jacket is wider than the back. When buttoned / zipped up you will get a crease down the middle. When unbuttoned the panels will cross each other, no crease down the middle...

    I think he's referring to the direction in which the chest pocket zipper closes, which is outwards unlike most vintage (and repro) halfbelts.

    This LVC reproduction of a 70s 'short horn' trucker has a seal brown overdye which will wear off over time revealing the caramel brown base color. The jacket is brand new so the color is still even throughout. To give an idea of the aging potential, Technovox had a well worn one for sale a...

    Help! Quick opinion on Kreosote boots.

    In the summer of 2023 I was thinking about getting another custom jacket from FL. I was quoted £1840 (delivery and fit jacket included). I said thank you but I'll have to think about that as it was twice as much as I paid for my first FL jacket. Immediately after I was offered a discount but...
