I didn't see that this was directed at me, but I'm not sure who else you would have been addressing.
I don't think I've ever described myself as a whale, so I'm not sure whether you were or weren't.
You don't have to have owned one to have an opinion, but I would consider the opinion of an owner to be more valid, since they have actual experience.
Of course it could work both ways, the owner convincing themself it has to be worth it because if it's not then they've wasted a lot of money...
I have to wonder how many of the opinions that they're not worth it are coming from people who have owned something from FW, vs people who have convinced themselves that they're too expensive to be worth it because they are out of their price range.
I do like mine. I wish another maker would introduce a repro. Lost Worlds is rather pricey, and their design isn't quite a copy, more an interpretation, of the original pattern. I've been wanting to get mine remade but it'll have to wait for my budget.
I don't ship anything internationally that I sell on eBay, but I'm strongly considering double-listing my items, and making a listing for domestic customers at my normal price, and then making a listing that ships to Japan only, for 2-3x my normal price. For Langlitz this would definitely make...
The Raid is variously known as the Arrow or the Gambler, depending on when it was made and who for... and is also the same pattern as the ELMC Woodward, which is itself a copy of a Montgomery Ward(?) style that was also called the Woodward. Despite all being the same basic pattern, they may be...
I think it's fine as-is. The main problem being that communication gap. It's really unfortunate that you went forward without having a clear understanding of what was expected on both sides. But the outcome doesn't actually look bad. Both with and without the fur. I don't think it's destroyed by...
Good eye. I agree with you. This one would seem to have quite a "bat wing" effect to it. It looks very similar to, but not quite the same, as the Natal/Natel jackets I'm familiar with and have handled firsthand. But it still follows the same basic pattern. The proportions look a bit off to...
A few months ago, I took notice of a leather jacket listed on ebay with the brand name "US Made Co." out of Middleton, MA.
This example of their product came out on Ebay today, and I note how similar the pattern is to that of the Natal/Natel/Walter Dyer/Kerr cafe racer pattern that we're...
