    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    I got this sub 100 dollar early 80s (I think) HD Moto jacket last week. Tagged made in Korea. Smells slightly of a garage but I think I can ozone that out. I like that it has the loops for a belt like a J24 but no belt, but a more reasonable pocket configuration. I have a belt-in Schott CXL113...

    Fit check on this LB2 from Buzz Rickson/William Gibson

    I actually returned it as Charles at History Preservation Society (a great shop!) indicated he was bringing the LB2-Long in this next season. I think the extra inch and a half would help. I'm 6'3" with a long torso.

    Fit check on this LB2 from Buzz Rickson/William Gibson

    Kinda always wanted one of these. Took a dive. Its a 44. I normally wear like 46s or even 48s in Moto jackets but the dimensions on these are so odd. Now that the gyms are open again I'll probably lose another 2-3 inches on my waist and chest by summer. Maybe more. Ignore my belt and "jogger...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    How do you wear these? I'm particularly intrigued by the rough out but dont know what I'd wear them with.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    interesting use of "thankfully." I didn't realize sending them back was an option from the get go. From the start the edge where the vamp tucks towards the arch of my foot (idk the term of this part of the boot but I know one exists) was a little sloppy, and was told bullhide is so tough it...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    these are the White's I've previously mentioned. Black bullhide bounty hunters with vibram 430 and a funny named heel I cannot remember right now. quabaug? the bullhide is kind of amazing in that it does not show wear or patina but does get softer and in doing so reveals more inherent, not...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Not a doctor but could this be something to do with your gait? maybe worth bringing up with a dr if you have ankle or knee issues. starting physical therapy now will be a life saver if there's an issue. just my two cents.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    The quahaug seems okay in rain but I tried it in some rougher terrain and not so much. I appreciate the empty garage link as wow, I knew whites made some cool stuff for Japan but that stuff is SUPER cool. I somewhat wish I picked a less durable leather. the bullhide looks good as new after...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I have a pair of BH's in Bullhide i want to get resoled as i picked a non-treaded quabaug heel and medium tread 430 vibram when they were initially built. i picked an 11.5D sizing because my SD were sized as such. however, the Bullhide is much stiffer and didn't break in like the cxl so i...

    Does that mean no more ordering through bakers?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Does anyone have pictures or references for White's (preferably a BH but any white's, really) made with alligator?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Not enough, probably. The bull hide returns to shape with basically zero stretch. I realize now my left food is just sort of wider than my right. If it was CXL then sure. I've worn these probably 250 times.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I haven't been on in a while but here's an update concerning my Bounty Hunters in Black Bullhide. I wanted something that wasn't cow, or cxl, or horse. I wavered a lot between roughout, water buffalo, and bullhide. I don't think they'll develop a patina, the bullhide is just too tough. They...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    FWIW I love my brown CXLs, but I am rough with em. Why are people always hating on CXL?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Yours were actually an inspiration for mine and I think we messaged about that - maybe on SuperFutures? Anyway, I've been trying to wear these with chups because I am a hypebeast and the socks are a bit thick. I've also learned that I might be a skosh wider than a standard D, however, Bakers has...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    These showed up today. They forgot one custom detail i asked, and the stitching along the vamp is a little rough on account of bullhide being very very thick (compared to my CXL and Bison SDs). But I am stoked
