    Lewis Leathers Super Monza Custom

    Interesting question. The pigment was originally racing white (no off or cream tone whatsoever) and it basically stayed that way. I was always very fanatical at removing organic matter(Bugs) after every use. The pigment and finish is exceptional. The sailcloth lining and rayon in the sleeves...

    Lewis Leathers Super Monza Custom

    We'll wish I can rotate the images, but heck, I got it in here for y'all to see. Greetings! Regarding the white Super Monza, it has held up perfectly. It has some stains and some of the pigment has worn, but there are no structural failures (some threads are stained but its super strong and...

    Lewis Leathers Super Monza Custom

    Time flies. Just decided to get back on Fed Lounge after years of work work work :^). To that last comment, just do it and get it out of your system! I no longer have the car but still have the jacket. The jacket has done so well on my motorbike and the memories made are very fulfilling. I...

    New Real McCoy's store in New York

    Regarding The Real McCoys, their stuff may not be favored here on this forum, but I think one of the reasons is that they are offered in a standard sizing only and do not make custom sizing or alterations. Incidentally I have a modest selection of their articles in my equipment closet...

    Mould

    So weird, just got through hand washing and drying two of my jackets and realize this is the talk of the Fedora Lounge lately. Boy its hot this summer but to risky to ride without leathers on. I've got one thing to say about getting rid of that stench, mold, mildew, musky odor, dirt, and...

    Pegasus Luftwaffe Pics and Review

    Nice. Hide looks good and so does the construction. I like the styling.

    Lewis Dominator review

    The buckle will not lay flat if used the way its designed to. The second pick will not cinch successfully, but if you don't need to cinch it then that is fine. These are moto jackets designed for riding bikes like the café racers of yesteryear, etc. As a result they will not perform nicely...

    New Good Wear Ventura...

    Mustang paste reads well, no doubt. I think that there is a similar oil base product that Real McCoys have labeled "Horse Oil" Both of these are not easily procurable here in the U.S. I chose to use a non oil based product to restore moisture and a water based UV protectant 303 which is a...

    New Good Wear Ventura...

    Well Butte, you probably realized by now that the leather on your jacket is already achieving you much vaunted "Patina" you so desire. That patina like the wear of your elbows along the seam is actually the pigment coating of your jacket damaged, originally put on to protect the leather and to...

    Show Your Patina

    wabi From Wikepedia Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[1] It is a concept derived...

    I can imagine its hard for you to stretch so I'll make it easier for you, "1080p optimized photographs" upload, because, its not necessarily moving video, but is a resolution class that applies to displaying graphics, a la viewing photos in a video screen. As savvy as you proclaim I am...

    Show Your Patina

    Well, if you submitted an "I.D. Ten T" form to Google, it may have came back with something like this: >Thanks for your inquiry, the error code you encountered is common when users attempt to translate plain English into plain English. Like most other translation utilities, Bablefish is not...

    Show Your Patina

    Maybe, if I can afford it. But I was referring to those jackets so worn as to be unserviceable. Water repellency and UV resistance/pollution resistance diminishes when the finish is degraded leading to rapid degrade. If it is to put away for display then leave the wabi, but if to continue use...
