    Vintage Schott-Beck Motorcycle Jackets

    I couldn't find a specific thread on this topic, though I saw several adjacent. I figured it was appropriate to have one because this is definitely one of the pieces to this history. It's well known that Beck had jackets made by Schott, some of which were available under a different model name...

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    I hope it's alright to post something of a PSA type of message. On Reddit they are encouraging people to join TFL to get 'deals' in our classifieds. I have no problem with people becoming part of our community or indeed buying things, but I think we should be a bit cautious. There are...

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    I just saw an Instagram post about a new brand from a forum member. Seems to be built around heavyweight cowhide jackets in staple designs for men and women, at a price point that’s kind of unaddressed right now outside of fashion brands. Has anyone tried these? If the patterns are solid this...

    Godzilla Minus One

    Really quite a stunning film, set in late 40s postwar Japan. Incredible performances and excellent, era- and character-appropriate costume design. A must watch. The US cinema run has been extended (originally planned for just a few days) and it comes out in the UK this weekend. Go see it!

    New PER62 Perfecto ticks a lot of boxes.

    I got a marketing email from Schott today featuring their new 'Special Edition Teacore Perfecto' jacket, and it seems to have elements that a lot of people have been asking for. At its core, it seems to be the PER70–a vintaged and distressed take on the 618–that a lot of people here liked...

    ‘Oppenheimer’ is a masterpiece

    I was surprised to see that there isn’t another thread about the film, considering it is so firmly ‘Golden Age’ in its setting. I think this is Nolan’s best work from a filmmaking perspective, and the costuming is standout, from tailoring to outerwear to, of course, Oppenheimer’s iconic hat. I...

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    So Himel is doing a special run of Beck 333s with some hair-on-hide at the D-pocket as a collab with Freenote Cloth. The jacket itself is rather unremarkable. (Schott's own reproductions, under their own label and with RRL, look much more attractive.) The sizing is where we end up in classic...

    Leather jackets that don’t quite fit

    A self-deprecating topic—sort of! I imagine at least a few of us own some leather jackets that don’t quite fit as well as they could, because some other aspect of them like the hide or history keeps it hanging in the closet. Or perhaps the jacket was a deal you just couldn’t pass up, with the...

    Equus Leather has gone out of business

    Quite sad to see that Equus leather, which made beautiful leather goods from English bridle leather, has closed, effective immediately. I have a really fantastic tan Countryman's Belt from them and was hoping to order some things later this year.

    Prayers for Ken of Aero

    Couldn't find a thread to fit this in but I thought it needed to be mentioned here. Ken Calder, who not only founded Aero but this whole repro hobby so many of us are engaged in, is in surgery today for cancer according to a post from Holly. (Public post, so I felt alright sharing it here.)...

    Maison Margiela Indian Ranger… an unexpected repro!

    I was looking through an old clothing discussion on another site, in which someone was discussing a jacket by the famous fashion house Maison Margiela, which has come up with a lot of influential modern designs like the Five-Zip, and I realized it was an Indian Ranger! This grabbed my attention...

    Unworn sz 36 Samurai ‘Blade Denim’ (rare 1940s Lee repro)

    Hi all, I bought these jeans earlier this year because I love the 1930s and 1940s Lee Cowboy jeans. My favorite pair of jeans (which I’m wearing right now) are an RRL repro of the same 101 from a few years ago, so I sought out and bought this limited edition Samurai. I was deeply impressed— the...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    As mentioned yesterday in WAYWT, I picked up a 613SH yesterday from the factory sale. [Before you get your hopes up, and line up to get one at 70% off, the 613SH was not a clearance sale item; I bought it from stock. There were CXL 613s in the clearance area though…] Jason Schott, David...

    Vintage Shirt Co. Fedora

    Hello all. I recall that there was some discussion as to the hats sold by the Vintage Shirt Company. Mine arrived last week and I just wanted to let you know that they sell Olney hats. Mine is brown fur felt. Anyway, I hope that helps anyone who may have been considering a purchase...

    An opportunity, of sorts

    I'm sixteen and am decidedly not a fan of the slobwear culture so prevalent today. As I'm moving back to the US in a month or so, I decided to check out a local tailoring shop. I was impressed at the completed work I saw. I looked around at the fabrics they had, no real heavyweight stuff (this...

    "Can't Forget About You"

    I've been interested in Golden Age style ever since my early childhood, watching Jeeves & Wooster and Poirot (Suchet version). I am also a rap fan (though quite selective as to which rap) and I saw a video from my favorite rapper that was, in many ways, a throwback to the time we know and...
