    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    ah I don't know the answer of this, I wear the style I want to wear, I know styles I can't pull off and those I don't want to wear, I'm very honest to myself. if anything perhaps shades, because I have prescribed lenses from short sighted eyes so I can't wear just any shades, maybe also long...

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    my theory about leather rot in japan but not souther down where the air is as humid, is because in japan there is a winter period, and people there might wear the jacket in all year to speed up character, so they may sweat in it and salt get deposited in it, and then during winter the salt is...

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    if you don't sweat in your jeans or dust don't get into it, why not? I rarely sweat in my jeans, I brush them outside and inside, sometime I vacuum clean them.

    Aero options balancing strong grain and good longevity

    I live in Indonesia the land of faded denim, I wore mine to sleep literally 24/7 for few months before washing by hand inside out, mine has ZERO fades over 5 years, I suspect a lot more "process" done to them using the climate as an excuse. I've heard about Kalium Permanganat powder usually...

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

    I think the connection between MC jacket and being a biker is also depending on the crosszip itself, not all crosszips are created equal, some say "motorcycle" louder than the other, if your crosszip has side laces that scream more biker than one without, if your crosszip has elbow pad or...

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

    I used to like symmetrical jacket the most, straight zip, no pockets or a pair of chest pockets, symmetrical collar without one tab dangling on one side more than the other, in some way I still do. but I can tolerate cross zip and learned how to balance things asymmetrically, on cross zip I find...

    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    the thing with leather jacket if you wear it un zipped to sleep, you might accidentally end up with unnatural back crease like diagonal crease across your back, when I did I zip up the jacket and it was not a great sleep. I sometime use the jacket as a blanket or hold it like a roll

    What exactly defines an aviator jacket

    I bet aviator won't have kidney panel, and probably has more halfbelt design back, the hemline probably has more front drop compared to MC jacket, and the belt and side lacing is probably more on MC.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    beautiful color, my suggestion is perhaps beige or sage or olive zipper tape, and shorter diagonal pocket perhaps 1" shorter (this one seems just a bit too long toward the armpit imo) goodluck with your shop

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    looks fine on the shoulder, but is that the best you can rest the jacket over your shoulder, seems like the jacket doesn't rest well on your shoulder and making huge neck/ collar gap

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    I have several belts like that, the tip after the buckle is almost long enough to get into the side loop but not quite, so I wear leather key hanger thing as an extra loop to secure the belt tip, when you wear your buckle on the side I wonder too when using the restroom how to make sure the...

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    perhaps so if the belt is too long they don't need the tip fastener, so the tip of the belt is secured into the rear belt loop, and not dangling on the front perhaps.
