    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Perfect spring/summer piece if there ever was one! The hide looks so juicy and luxurious, I can almost smell and feel it through the picture.

    Regius two tone Hercules!!

    Full disclosure: At first glance I thought, "that´s it, he´s finally lost his magic touch on all things leather." Too busy, too undecided, neither fish, nor flesh. But boy, this jacket grows on me! Perfectly executed for sure and a great fit. I started off ruling out a lot of designs for me...

    Love both of them, but the Blatt is the bee´s knees...!

    Gosh, those wrinkles!!! Did you store that one in your jeans pockets? Seriously though: looks really great, and I never even heard about the maker before...

    10/10. While I do believe you pull off the smaller one like a Rockstar, this is exactly the fit I would be aiming for.

    FS: IADE Leathers Cross-zip Motorcycle Jacket, sz. L/42-ish

    Haha! Not if Jennifer dated you as a result. I guess, you know what that means… ;)

    Thank you. Sadly, too small for me now. I guess that’s kind of ok after more than 20 years… Lining is totally unobstrusive. A yellowish grey cotton-sateen. I got it from the Flagship store just off Regent Street at a time when I was in London MO-THU for six weeks. I thought, I had seen the...

    Yes and no. Addict is using a very nice horsehide on their models (can’t comment on the sheep), so they were always at the same price as a LL with veg-tan cow. The ‚copy‘ was always the superior product, so the new price is. purely reflecting the brand.

    Yes, isn´t it? This is basically the HR-55, but in this leather only available via "The Shop Vancouver". So you got the (already high) Price, +20% VAT/Customs plus shipping and handling. Add a sizing mistake and your ready to kick your own backside until you can´t sit no more...;).

    Yeah! And isn’t the leather amazing!! Yours is the long version, right? How did you find sizing as compared to what you usually wear?

    They’re pretty cool. Here’s mine. Ca. 2003.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    For me, most of the fun is indeed in the unforced evo. No treatments of any kind, no forced sunbathing. I really like, how natural exposure darkens the shoulder/upper torso region much faster than the relatively less exposed parts. The ‚new‘ jackets darkens much faster than the older One which...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    To be honest, it took a while for LL and their almost ‚Bauhaus-like‘ bleakness to grow on me. Plus, the regular horse can be quite vinyl-like, depending on batch. AFTER getting used to the looks, I am a big fanboy, though. The quality is top as concerns longevity or accurateness of stitching...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you. Yes, fit IS spot on. I originally ordered in size 46 as some offerings of Y2 run very small (their leather shirts and Chore Coats being examples). This one is NOT one of them. I wore the larger one during the winter over thick jumpers, and it worked - just. Below is a comparison...

    I could be terribly wrong, but my best guess would be early 2000´s. The Black Prince sub-brand was one of the earlier attempts to add a more juvenile cool-factor to the traditional styles (Roadmaster, Trialmaster and the leather offsprings). BP would take traditional elements and add special...

    Just wow! I have always liked LL for their moderate pricing, but I always thought the veg-tan surcharge to be excessive. No classic model under GBP 1.300 any more means, they are easily 25% above Schott which I always thought to be a reasonable competitor in terms of cool-factor, heritage and...

    Inspiration LA 2024

    Fair points. All you have to add is another 1-1,5k for travel and accommodation (or a multiple of that if your significant other insists of joining you). And arguably VAT/customs upon re-entry, although I accept that this is a theoretical issue only. Joking aside, you are of course right about...

    Same with Arnold Schwarzenegger who brought an AP to the ski race in Kitzbühel for a charity auction. He didn’t declare the watch at customs, so he was chased for tax-evasion. VAT is not applicable for pure exhibitions, but yeah, I wouldn’t dare to comment on the details.

    Super photos, @jeo ! Thanks for taking the time! Just no chance seeing something even remotely like that this side of the pond.
