    Ordered Schott buffalo jacket and received cowhide!

    I just received a Schott jacket I ordered from the web site. The jacket was listed on the web site as waxy buffalo, but the tag in the jacket I received states cowhide. When I reached out to Schott customer service, they indicated the jacket was previously made from cowhide, but they had...

    Am I crazy for not loving my new Aero horsehide jacket?

    I just picked up a barely used Aero long half belt in tumbled FQHH. It's a beautiful jacket! It fits great and looks really cool...and I'm not sure that I really like it. It's so heavy - it must weigh 6 pounds. And even though it's the tumbled FQHH it's still pretty stiff. After wearing for the...

    D-1 vs. down jacket warmth

    I know similar questions have been asked in the past, but I'm specifically interested in feedback regarding the relative warmth of a D-1 jacket (perhaps Aero) compared to a modern down insulated jacket for winter. I tend to be cold in the winter, so it would be great if anyone who has both...

    Opinions on this vintage leather jacket

    I've been watching this jacket off and on eBay for several months. It's advertised as a sheepskin lined barnstormer jacket, although I guess it might be more of a car coat. Any opinions on the value of this jacket considering that it has no label, and I don't know if it is leather, horsehide...

    Buzz Demotex N-1 vs MF Blouson de Quart

    I'm interested in picking up a deck jacket for cold weather wear in Philadelphia, where the average low temperature in January is 25 degrees F. My understanding is that the Buzz Demotex version is warmer than their standard N-1. But I really like the N-1 inspired styling of the Mister Freedom...
