    Soft leather jackets in the $500 to $1,000 price range?

    I was looking around for leather jackets, and was trying to find in particular a leather jacket made of a more soft type leather(ie. lamb, calf, kangaroo, etc.), and in more of a "fashion" style, like something more sleek as opposed to the more bulky biker/gear type look. Looking around...

    Stopping dye bleeding/dye transfer from my leather jacket's belt?

    Ok, I tried contacting them, but all they said to me was to buff it with a wet cloth and it might stop. They seemed uninterested and generally unhelpful. Thank you for the suggestion though. I sorta figured I'm probably just going to need to deal with it as part of owning this jacket. One...

    Stopping dye bleeding/dye transfer from my leather jacket's belt?

    I'm noticing this jacket is now bleeding even more from other areas, like the collar now, and it's bleeding into my shirts. I don't understand, as this is a Schott Perfecto jacket and supposed to be very high quality, yet it's bleeding like this. I've had this jacket for a few years now without...

    Couple of questions concerning leather loafers and shoe trees

    I just got a pair of leather loafers in a size 8.5, and ordered a shoe tree for them, sadly its been delayed and may not get here til April 3rd(assuming it isn't lost in the mail). I wasn't sure if I should just buy a shoe tree in the store tomorrow, or wait to see if the one I ordered arrives...

    It bleeds onto my pants when the belt of the jacket happens to touch/rest of them.

    Stopping dye bleeding/dye transfer from my leather jacket's belt?

    I made a thread before asking for advice on what to do about stopping the bleeding of dye from this belt on my black leather Schott Perfecto jacket. The area where the bleeding is coming from is inside this space in the tip of the belt where the stitching is, I added some photos showing this so...

    Are shoe trees necessary for dress boots and dress shoes/loafers?

    I mainly just asked out of curiosity, particularly because I'll see so many arguments on this topic, with some even saying you don't need shoe trees at all, then the debates over split toe vs full toe, etc. Loafers I wasn't sure, since I've seen some claim they don't need them at all, while...

    Are shoe trees necessary for dress boots and dress shoes/loafers?

    The two shoe trees I was debating between: Stratton Cedar Shoe Trees for Men Men's Full Shoe Tree (pair) Also, does it matter if the tree is split or full toe?

    Are shoe trees necessary for dress boots and dress shoes/loafers?

    To maintain the shape of them, help with removing moisture, minimize creasing. People always mention that as the reasons to use them for western boots which is why I got them for those. And I asked about dress shoes, as well as loafers because I wasn't sure if there was enough of a difference...

    Are shoe trees necessary for dress boots and dress shoes/loafers?

    Can anyone give some input on this? I have both a pair of YSL dress boots(Wyatt harness boots), and a Gucci boot with horsebit detail; and recently purchased a loafer from Gucci as well(Jordaan). I've seen this topic come up a lot, but wasn't sure what the general definitive answer was. Do you...

    What is the proper fit for leather loafers?

    Is a small heel slip a big issue? I've seen a few sources claim the heel bed adjusts or something, so a slight heel slip isn't as much of an issue. The problem I am noticing now is trying these on with thicker socks, the right shoe is now uncomfortably tight, with the toes feeling cramped. Which...

    What is the proper fit for leather loafers?

    I bought a pair of leather loafers today and need an opinion on the fit. I wear a size 9 1/2, but have uneven feet(right foot is slightly bigger than the left), which I have to take into account when sizing for shoes. In the store I tried on two pairs and had to size down; the size 8 1/2 felt...

    Dyeing a pair of pants jet black?

    Any brands or types of dye you'd recommend? I've heard of Dharma Raven Black, Rit Back to Black, and Jacquard Procion MX Jet Black. Which of these would be the best to use, or are there others you'd suggest?

    Dyeing a pair of pants jet black?

    I have a pair of pants(denim blue jeans) that are an off grey/black color, how hard would it be to dye it pure jet black? I worry about the dye bleeding off and getting on my legs or something, would that be a problem I should worry about? How do I go about dyeing them to a pure black? Any tips?

    Durability of lambskin for boots?

    The rep on the phone didn't specify unfortunately. I was always under the impression that leather boots can get wet, they just can't be allowed to get soaked, right? I don't know if lambskin would be any different, or would it? If merely getting them wet ruins them that would make them pointless.

    Durability of lambskin for boots?

    is lambskin that fragile? For reference, when I called their customer service and asked about it, the person said they were indeed very soft and delicate, but claimed "they age very beautifully" and made a point to say they'd age really well supposedly. They also said to avoid getting them wet...

    Durability of lambskin for boots?

    I was interested in this new pair of boots from YSL, however the one concern I have is that they are made from lambskin leather. I have a pair of boots from them already(the Wyatt) which are made from calfskin. So far they have held up well, and I have seen posts and videos from people who own...

    Fit check and opinions for this blazer?

    I just purchased a blazer from Nordstrom(brand is Theory) and was curious what people here thought of how the fit looks. Any general opinions on how it looks in terms of how it fits? Also I noticed the rear/butt flaps of the blazer seem to stick out some, is that normal or not? I have a pelvic...

    Stopping dye bleeding/dye transfer from my leather jacket's belt?

    Hi, I just noticed an issue with my leather jacket bleeding dye onto my pants, or more specifically, the belt from the jacket is what's bleeding. I have a black leather Schott Perfecto jacket, and noticed my pants getting stains, like the kind you get from dye bleeding from leather onto them. At...
