    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I will wear and see if this works with my jeans and style, and if the leather suffice, i got a feeling i'm going to like the outline silhouette and the overall look which is the important part for me to give it a full wear, by the time i need a resole i will send it back with letter of things i...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

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

    I think the designer input search tag into AI engine, patina padded jacket wornout and then AI showed a picture of padded jacket with its batting poking out around the torn edges, and the designer quickly share it with manufacturing division.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I will, thanks, yes I agree, I imagine burgundy and black would look proper with everything from denim to olive cargo, to earth colored corduroys and light ecru or white , even grey or black pants too, and it doesn't have to pick side with either with brown or black group of leather so it could...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks, I did draw my preference, but due to the nature of the lower price I have lower expectation and not sure how close or far it would follow my drawing :) but I shall make peace with it, what I know I picked oxblood oilpull cowhide and I want the side of the sole and welt to be lightly...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I'm in the process of getting my first engineer boots, nothing fancy though just local bootmaker and just local cowhide... and ugh I picked longer and flatter toes like chelsea boots, I know it won't look like the real deal but I don't think cowhide will look good on rounder/ fuller toes since...

    Overlap (or lack thereof) on the unzipped chest of cross-zip and double rider perfecto style motorcycle jackets

    I think some factor has to do with how big or how far you can fold the lapel, if you can spread the lapel further away then you get bigger triangle and less overlap, so somehow the position of the snap where the jacket anchor the tip of the lapel matters. and also perhaps if you wear it with...

    Premature Zipper wear

    dual zipper has less problem since the whole lower slider is the zipper box so it's more flexible we can position it in a way to make it easier for the pin to securely pass it and the pin also much longer, the lower slider is also flaring out in shape covering most of the zippertape from...

    How would you handle this situation?

    I think your jacket fits nice, and the character on the hide also make it looks easier to wear rather than a true natural tone.

    Tailoring to prevent a reoccurring fold on a Schott 141

    that is the nature of a jacket with single chest pocket, it's just how they drape when worn unzipped, wear it more half zipped so there would be horizontal or diagonal creases forming crossing the vertical crease, so hopefully they would cancel each other

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    congrats I like the shoulder slope and the exposed cuff zipper tape, and also perfect sleeve length, I love slant chest pockets and no handwarmers on racer jacket so I can't really comment on the pocket configuration haha, I think the back would need a lot of time to break in to look right.
