Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
All I know is that metal 33 tag should not be on this particular LVC jacket. That metal tag is for an Apalachian MC repro hence the biker description on the back.- Blackadder

Rainbow Country Single Rider
Those are their old CR models. J-100 clones. The Mach was a special. They decided to differentiate with the current model probably because too many are making straight up J-100 clones.- Blackadder

New to vintage Bucos..
It is indeed a ladies model Buco. Probably a J-14. It does not have the chest cigarette pocket. The back is also different from a Men's J-24. https://www.greatpower.info/product/45 https://www.carousell.com.my/p/buco-j-24-horsehide-leather-jacket-284941822/ Steerhide from the 50s.

Bronson N-1 Deck Jacket sheds tons of fibres from pile liner!
I do not own a Bronson N-1 but it may not be the water. Dry cleaning usually do not involve spinning. Even at low spin cycle, we are talking about 400 rpm. Designed to shake water and other residue away, you would risk not just shrinkage and discoloration but destruction of fine fabric like...- Blackadder

I am pretty sure they know what it means since their jeans are true to waist size in inches. Whether they care is a different matter. The brands we talk about here are using the English system/numbers probably because these companies deal in traditional Western style clothing. Some of them...- Blackadder

Footwear to go with our jackets
I agree that work boots are originally for hard labour but they have reached dress boots price point when customers are ordering these work boots in "expensive" leather like CXL or even shell cordovan. That turn things around. The quality of the "work" does not match the quality of the...- Blackadder

Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
Yes one of those old LW with screwed up size tag. All seriously undersized and LW probably sold them as rejects. I remember seeing a ebay seller selling a few of these and the J-27. I was looking at those and they are too short even for me. I am barely 5'6. These are kid sizes.- Blackadder
