    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    Dude Jake, sorry for OoT but I'm just curious why do you wear belt with rhinestone decoration but with the buckle worn on the side? is it visually better or for any particular reason or functional reason?

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    I like the fit and the hemline, and cool color combo, I'm not sure about pelt texture with fur on the body panel personally but the color you choose is almost like it could have been canvas or wool or any other material, it doesn't have that fur shine like dark or black fur, which is too...

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    does this mean what modern tanneries' teacore is authenthic? or the old leather probably has been treated by conditioner several times over the decades that get absorbed and accumulated into the core and change the blue hue of the hide due to oxidation or just the conditioner has a color and...

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    I suspect the "tea core" effect on older jacket is the result of bone yellow or grey core from hasten drum dyeing like Canuck said, and then with exposure, than faded part become brown from oil exhaust or dirt and grime and oxidation and UV tanning or combination of all those, who dyed leather...

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    If you really like crosszip then you would apply your wool plaid jacket thirst to crosszip, you would see all the differences and find excusses why you need another. You only need 1 crosszip if you don't actually like it as an object but somehow you find yourself looking good wearing it. I...

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    Sometime this happens to religion as well, a person born into some religion and dedicate their entire life and later come to doubt it but already too deep into it and afraid to jump ship thus willing to fool themself or hating others

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    the only fine... fine creek, I love everything in this CR, the splay, the position and angle of the chest pockets, shoulder slope, collar, shirt hemline and obviously waisted unlike their other models

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    you know the beauty of rolled cuff like vanson without stitching, you can easily lengthen the sleeve. just adding a strip of leather or corduroy or moleskin or canvas after the sleeve liner then the leather shell would be longer too. I think because they caters for riders and every bike might...

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    they model everysize, and most would benefit wearing XS, or S or M, but instead, personally they would pick far beyond their appropriate size and pick **L just look at the video where they walk together on the street as a group presentation, they wear the pants with crotch halfway to their knee

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    many people send their brand new car or motorcycle straight to custom workshop, or brand new house to be remodelled to be unique different to their neighbors, sending a brand new jacket to be altered is within sanity meter ... :D

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    they usually pick **L and roll / cuff the leg 3 times, the girls in their crew are the only ones who pick the right size for their body, all the guys are all overly positive about their body image :D

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    if you really love this jacket, then 42, some rockstar wear jacket too small with their forearm showing perhaps you can take that vibe, and perhaps the body will drape with wear, but you need to wear it with ultra casual style, like with tshirt and cargo pants or with camo pants, or straight...

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    because in japan I often find youtube clips about people dressing like this especially when they like fatique/ military pants, I suppose they will wear very long tubular body jacket because it matches the rest of their "ill fitting" style... I wonder why... it's not like they are blessed with...
