    PSA: Lewis Leathers will now allow orders without a logo on the front.

    I’ve got a Lewis leathers dominator jacket and i have no problem with the gold logo as it was on the original ones too. I mean everyone is happy to wear good old vintage Levis and they’ve all got visible tabs on the pockets and on the jeans visible leather back labels. I guess its a totally...

    Bowie's Hero's jacket...

    My memory of the mid 70s is that the jacket Bowie is wearing in these pics was being worn by everyone at the time. A kind of Bay City Roller look. All my mates had these big collared short black leather jackets with wool knits etc. which you wore with high waist bags and stack heels.

    What's you all's opinion of Bestaff?

    I guess the question is whether the standard Belstaff waxed motorcycle jacket is twice as good quality as the Barbour international seeing as it's twice the price.

    Who Can Wear the Aero Barnstormer?

    I wear it as a motorcycle jacket, its brilliant for the job as I'm not a racer just a plodder and it looks pretty cool too IMO.

    Aero Leathers - International pricing?

    I got some clothes online from oi polloi and end clothing, both UK based companies, and I bought them using an English visa card and got them posted to Australia and they knocked off the VAT automatically. In fact the VAT-free outside the EU price is listed when you view the item. They had free...

    New Aero designs (pic heavy)

    As teenagers in the early seventies we had a kangaroo leather levis trucker jacket. Remember it as being a very nice jacket, bullet proof.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I have a pair of hawthorne muleskinner red wing iron rangers. They're the best boots I've ever had, I also have a pair of RW Beckmans which I also love but which I haven't worn once after I got the IRs a year ago. Since then I think I must have worn the IRs every day but i have fairly wide feet...

    Eastman - a new direction?

    nail on the head "This whole ELMC thing feels like it is aimed at wanna be bikers with a large wallet more than anything else..." http://hipsterbikevideos.com/lets-play-guess-what-theyre-trying-to-sell-me/

    Eastman - a new direction?

    I personally can't imagine anyone actually wanting to buy a jacket with rubber mud on it, unless for a Steve McQueen museum I suppose. However, I'm really happy aero, lost worlds, lewis leathers etc still make their jackets as I don't like synthetic materials and love natural materials like...

    Eastman - a new direction?

    I'm interested in opinions on the Barbour Steve McQueen MacGrain jacket that comes complete with rubber reproduction mud on it? http://www.endclothing.co.uk/barbour-steve-mcqueen-macgrain-jacket.html No need to even go outside to get the cool look with this item.

    Eastman - a new direction?

    The marketplace for exploiting the post war rebel look is becoming crowded, seems like Eastman has decided to chase the Mr Freedom, RRL, Dice Magazine crowd. Makes being original kind of hard these days when anything 'cool' is immediately jumped on and marketed .

    What is a "grail" jacket worth?

    I got my grail jacket the other day and it was nothing like the jacket I have been searching for. I bought it on a whim and its a black Lewis Leathers Dominator and I never realised that a whim could result in me getting my perfect jacket.

    Made in America. Stayed in America.

    I think that people should remember that Labour laws or Workers Rights and conditions are a sign of an equal (ish) and intelligent society, A fair days work for a fair days days pay and all that. The 'improved' working terms and conditions didn't just happen, they cost a lot of blood, sweat and...

    Made in America. Stayed in America.

    I always think the core issue with, for instance, outsourcing manufacturing is whether the company doing the outsourcing is doing it in order to manufacture in a cheaper, but more hazardous or exploitative way, than they would be able to in their country of origin. Like the poster on the Mr...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    I'd have thought the whole Aero/Horween/Alexander Leather is exactly the kind of drama this forum should discuss (keeping it polite and non-libelous of course), its not as though the allegations etc have been made somewhere else, the original official joint statement was posted here, so why not...
