    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    My 15 years old chinese made Chippewas and about month old Chippewa Whirlwinds. Old ones were the most amazing boots for the buck, paid 59$ for these back then and I have worn these about everywhere. Replaced heel pads once (DIY job), leather is supple and has much life left, although looks...

    Custom made steerhide biker jacket, that removable mouton collar and woolen lining make it wearable even in light cold like today.

    Traditional biker jacket with a little bit of modern touch

    Hello, After two months waiting I got my new baby home today. Custom tailored from heavy steerhide (loosely based on old Harley-Davidson jackets), wool and cotton drill lined and with removable mouton collar. Fit is pretty good, although could be a little bit better, probably I just have gained...

    Wool lining question

    I have a question about those vintage wool lined motorcycle jackets. Did these have some kind of interlining or was that wool plaid lining only insulation after leather outer shell? Same question about cotton drill/sateen lining inside the arms - I think there should be thin insulation layer...

    Source for zippers needed

    Mash Japan only has main zippers - I could find these from eBay too and dye the tape black, if needed. I mostly need source for 6-6.5" pocket zippers. With chain and ring or chain and diamond type pulls preferably. Probably I could make my own pulls for these and use modern zippers, but for...

    Source for zippers needed

    Hi, I need few zippers for my new custom MC Jacket. One 22" #10 and five 6" smaller ones (#5 probably?). Chromed steel is preferred, but brass would be OK too. It would be good, if smaller ones have chain and diamond or ring type puller. Does anybody know some place where I can buy them...

    Help me identify this vintage jacket

    Guess about being HD seems to be true, but I couldn't date it. I surfed last night around and tried to find pictures from different era HD jackets. It seems that many, if not all pre AMF white labels used acrylic interlining, not scrapped and pressed wool like this, not sure about AMF era, but...

    Help me identify this vintage jacket

    Years ago I got some vintage biker jacket. It was advertised as horsehide, but probably it's made actually from very good steerhide. As it has no original tags (only one about cleaning), then it's hard to tell. But anyway it's very good cut and fits me really well. The hide is too damaged to be...

    Help needed to decide what size A2 jacket should fit good

    Peter actually told me that they have new model in stock soon - these should have more historically correct details (smaller and lower pockets, better grade stitching). I think I will shoot and order one in my true size and if the quality don't impress me I will return it. I know that it isn't...

    Help needed to decide what size A2 jacket should fit good

    Hello to all, I am really into buying my first horsehide A2. I found a site called qmi.be and read some very good reviews about their jackets but I haven't found any good reference about fit. I talked with Peter (owner of the brand) and he sent me a sizing chart. I measured a 50's vintage biker...

    What kind of jacket is on the picture?

    Doesn't seem like Schott 135 - cuffs don't seem right. I have that lower picture on a full magazine page and there seem to be buttoned cuffs like classic halfbelt cut has.

    What kind of jacket is on the picture?

    Found few pictures of Billy Gibbons, wearing pretty cool jacket. It seems like vintage half belt for me, but what would you all think?

    Old Buco style action back length

    Hi, As I have seen only pictures of originals and these aren't so informative, then I ask it. i'm not sure if you understand it fully, but I give my best try to describe, what I want to know. It seems that old jackets have the opening at back as long as the upper part of the back leather...
