    Master supply co leather jacket

    Ive read everything and somehow my eyes havent started bleeding. I happen to think theres a place for Master Supply. I am so far from elitist and in fact I welcome anyone into this realm and this market, I dont care where they are made (as long as its ethical as possible and not in slave like...

    Chinese leather jackets

    There’s a few YouTubers who have reviewed crush on retro boots very very positively for their price. I haven’t seen any reviews of their jackets. This looks really nice though. I did message them about a jacket because I was curious and whoever answered me explained that there are two factories...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Even if it was “cool” to someone for that kind of money it’s very uncool. To be clear I don’t like them at all. But different tastes for different folks. But for 2,300 no one should ever buy these.

    Practical Question - Tan Horsehide for Bike

    I have a super thick natural belt that was super pink upon arrival. So pink I was like eh can I wear this? So I left it outside for like 2-3 days in the summer. Brought it in gave it a thin coat of conditioner. Back outside for a couple days, another thin coat of conditioner. And it tanned up...

    Practical Question - Tan Horsehide for Bike

    Hey you do you. Just voicing my thought. It Wasn’t a judgment position or call on you, just how I feel about me. On a related note though Vanson makes perf leather which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea to be sure; but I believe @JMax owns one and loves it actually. That would keep you cool for sure.

    Leather Jackets, Tattoos and Psychic Armor

    People have plenty of reasons. A remembrance to a fallen friend, parents, pets, grandparents, their favorite artist, music, movies, politics, things that changed their life. Even if time moves on it can remind you of that time in your life. It can bring back nostalgia, love, it can be art for...

    Practical Question - Tan Horsehide for Bike

    I wouldn’t. Only because if I was serious about riding for me personally I would get modern day armor jackets. You can still get some really cool heritage style armor jackets Jane Motocycles makes some of Vanson. Bare minimum I would want a heavy weight leather like LW or Vanson. Anything else...

    Leather Jackets, Tattoos and Psychic Armor

    As a funny aside and tattoo story. I am a big fan of rockabilly, punkabilly, horror punk rock. On my left upper leg I have a tattoo of a rockabilly stylized vampire girl sitting on a grave headstone. My wife got a tattoo based on the myth of Lilith and she’s carrying a man’s head on a silver...

    Leather Jackets, Tattoos and Psychic Armor

    I too am covered in tattoos. Only a couple are anything I would call actual art, the rest are just random things that popped into my head. But I also don’t regret any of them. The biggest pain is that most of them are 10+ years old now and need touch ups and color re-done and I just don’t have...

    Ivan you’re a rockstar. Seriously you always make everything look way cooler than the same outfit would look on me.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    LW is so known for their heavy horse I feel like I never hear or see their other options. It looks great in pics and you said you’re happy with it. But how would you best describe LW goat? Legit question just don’t see it much with their famous HH being 99% of their sales Im sure.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yup. In the very early days of The Real McCoys/Toys/Joe McCoy’s they contracted with Indian and Harley to make repros like they do currently with Buco. That’s the very early days you’ll see them pop up now and then. Never owned one, I think a member or two have at some point come across them...

    Haha yeah I realized I worded it poorly when I read it back to myself and I was like that doesn’t make any sense. Thanks for dealing with me ha

    Vanson jacket appreciation

    That’s actually my question I know for an upcharge Vanson will essentially make you anything but they only stock black collars. Did @TartuWolf find an old one on like eBay, did you pay a little more for Vanson to make it, or did you find a custom maker to get one? If I ever get another E I am...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I guess to clarify my question is it an actual real Harley brand made in Korea or a Korean repro brand doing a Harley?

    What brand? Pretty nice looking. You did good on this one.

    Standard motorcycle leathers, anyone have info about the brand?

    That I agree with. Like they have taken some Langlitz, Vanson and Cal inspiration and mixed them all together. Which is different. I still want a LW J-24 it’s a grail for me. But how many j-24 and j-24 repros does the market need? How many perfecto repros do we need? At least it’s not the same...

    Vanson jacket appreciation

    I think it looks awesome and I love that contrast with the black! But it’s currently about the edge of length and size I would like. So I can only imagine what it looked like pre trim.

    Talk me out of buying this Buco?

    I may have exaggerated slightly haha. But my point being it would still be quite Expensive to send it to a really good talented leather worker. It’s not super hard for those willing to learn how to change a zipper or add a patch or sew in a liner. But that’s so fragile and I would Imagine would...

    Cracking on boot — issue or no?

    Exactly what I was getting at. Because it looks like badly cracked topcoat that goes a bit into the leather. Only thing that came to mind is frozen and road salt. I’ve seen that. The water gets into small cracks in the topcoat freezes and expands. That causes bad cracking in the topcoat. Then if...
