    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    perhaps several factors, 1st the zipper company doing this small batch repro is not the best company, probably YKK can do repro but the minimum quantity is much larger, because jeans companies usually do this and those specialized jeans buttons and rivets printed with company logo done by YKK...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I get what he is trying to do, but it's harder on old already heavily creased leather like in the video, if the boots was pristine, I think it is more achievable to guide the creasing to be more balanced, and it also has to do with the way we walk too, the more symmetrical our gait the more...

    Fit Check: Is this jacket too short?

    it looks good on you but not when paired with that pants, perhaps when worn unbuttoned or if you don't button the waist button like most important denim jacket unwritten rule it would look much better

    Leather jacket main zipper replacement?

    I think a cobbler who can sew upper and sole should have a machine strong enough to sew zipper, the problem just will he use the same stitch holes or just sew on without using the old holes, that's why I think jacket with buttons is far better than with zipper, it also more flexible in feel and...

    Wearing an AERO HIGHWAYMAN in your actual size

    the design of this jacket looks more logical if military issue this to soldiers, it looks like it would fit anybody, can conceal a lot of weapons and grenades, can be worn over ******proof vest and it's square and bland, proper but non attention seeking, and the wearer can't raise their arms up...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    since you walk with the same biomechanic gait yet your experience vary from boots to boots then perhaps biomechanic is not the factor, perhaps more on the leather itself since leather is organic, and tongue is not picked with the best part of the hide but perhaps the less prioritized, then maybe...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I blackened the side of the sole and the welt more with black shoe polish, and polished the toes and heel abit, I think it upgrades the vibe a bit. Thanks Edward, i'm pretty satisfied with it so far, that Lewis has a very nice waist on the ankle. I think many indonesian bootmakers prefer MTO...

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    I'm amazed he can make straight pattern, from his train of thought I imagine he would start planning to make a crosszip and then finished with a car coat

    Kreosote Boots

    look at this... imagine if some carl murawski start hyping this guy and thus generate hundreds of orders boots, some artisans are just way too small to cater for world's market generated by bigtime youtubers, probably he thought asking for something like $2000 would be enough to limit his market...
