    Looking for a Leather jacket

    I've started talking with Johnson leathers to build out a jacket. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any experience with FiveStar Leathers? This popped up in my search, and while I don't love the color, from a the look of it, it is exactly what I want...

    Looking for a Leather jacket

    Hey gang, I'm on the hunt - So a little bit about me and this search - I used to ride motorcycles religiously. Track days, long road trips, canyon carving, street, adv and off road, you name it. Loved it. Unfortunately, at the age of 27, the journey came to an end like a lot of these stories...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Hey gang, been a long time since I posted. We have a little bit of cooler weather (meaning it's under 80!) so I thought I'd pull out the Thoroughbred 10x. I love this hat, but i'm always a little on the fence about wearing it. It's quality is amazing, and it was definitely the look i was trying...

    Thoroughbred Hats?

    I'm resurrecting this to share my Thoroughbred 10x. I love this hat, but i'm always a little on the fence about wearing it. It's quality is amazing, and it was definitely the look i was trying for, but I don't know that it exactly suits me. I feel like I look amish or prospector-y I bought it...

    Hey friend. Allow me to put my two cents in here since I just got done with my stalker hat. First off, I got lucky. I found a vintage Thoroughbred hat that was close, and in my size, on eBay. Bought it, and reshaped it over a tea kettle. Finally have it dialed in. I would say start there and try...

    Thanks! I’m very happy. Merry Christmas for me. If I had jumped straight to getting a custom hat, it would have been all wrong, and a waste of money

    I still need to clean it, maybe replace the band, but the felt is clearly high quality. Working with it has been a joy.

    Hey friends. So, I found a hat on eBay that really suited my needs. It requieres a ton of reshaping (my god it looked awful out of the box) but I finally got it looking pretty good, I think. Not perfect yet. Still need some slight modification, but here we go The crown was entirely off center...

    The Bailey hat has a 4 1/4 crown, and a 3 1/2'' brim, but that's if you measure from the front. If you were to measure the distance on the sides, it would be about 3 1/8th due to the curl. In regards to the packer tilt, I would prefer it if it was much slighter. This is too pronounced for me...

    So, a little while ago I posted about wanting a specific hat that’s akin to the stalker hat from red dead redemption 2. I’m going to be working with Mike from North wear hats to facilitate this, but because I’m extremely pedantic, I wanted to make sure that I could give him very exact...

    This is why I'm already happy with the suggestion to talk to Mike. He just sent me his first reply to my initial poke about this hat, and just from that, I can see that he cares about what I want and getting it right. A swell of relief. We've all been there, but lately, I feel more and more like...

    This is why this forum is so wonderful. These are all really great tips! I just emailed Northwest Hats, so we'll see what that turns out. Belfastboy, that is a gorgeous hat, and looks great on you! I did think about trying to reshape a hat myself, but I couldn't decide if I should start with a...

    Hey friends, I need help with a hat search. I'm looking to get the Stalker hat from Red Dead Redemption 2, which is essentially the Fist Full of Dollars hat in black and no distressing. I wouldn't have thought this to be such an uphill battle, but good golly god is it hard to find something that...
