Show us your leather

[Niro]

@Aries is that nine lives yak leather jacket? That's the way to get your first leather jacket, no fucking around, jump straight in the high quality end.

And you rocking it with brown boots, good stuff man!

[Aries]

Yep that's the one @Niro, thanks!

Vintage white label vanson type a from the 1970s... found thrifting. Love the color.

What do you guys think of the new 3Sixteen Schott collaboration that’s about to be released? Not usually a double riders kind of guy but I like the really dark brown leather.

Did you end up picking it up? I noticed they went quick. 

I was considering the 3sixteen jacket but I just got the leather Sugarcane type 2 on Black Friday.

I didn’t sadly, been at work all day and missed out. Not that I have 1100 bucks laying around for a leather jacket anyways.

RW 1905 anniversary boots... they'll see some Huberd's shoe grease soon...

Skulls Fab Four wallet in English saddle leather. 9 years wear on denim days. I unfortunately lost the plectrum that came with it in the first month.

Never treated but I should do soon... does anyone have any recommendations?

Looking great; my Skull Jeans medallion mid-wallet is my favorite wallet.

Doesn't look like you need to condition it, unless you plan to clean it? If so, I like to use saddle soap and then Mustang Paste.

Thanks for the recommendation @Iron Horse. I want to give it some TLC so it continues going strong and sees me through this life at least! So I'll give it a clean with saddle soap. I've never used Mustang Paste and have just seen that DC4 sell it - not cheap at 50 Euro a pot but it's good you recommend it and I do like the write up.

You don't need to pay that much, you can get horse oil conditioner for cheaper:

I had a tub of that stuff, works great, I used most of it on an old leather jacket but for smaller items like treating a wallet every few years it'll last quite a while.

Regular brushing is key!

New card wallet in natural Buttero from Morgan at Full Grain Creations. First time I've seen multi-tone saddle-stitching stitch. Super cool...

Thanks @Cucoo. Did it darken your leather?

I didn't notice any darkening on a brown jacket and nothing dramatic on my wallet or other natural leather items. So, not any more than any treatment would do I guess.

Hi all, 

I have a question regarding flesh out Horween leather shoes.

How well would it stand up to snow? would I need to treat it first ie would the snow stain the leather?

I'm off to the snow and want to bring adequate footwear. Being from Sydney I have little experience with snow and don't exactly want to ruin my shoes  

Thanks in advance.

looking good! here's your belt a year down the line (different buckle)

the unstained tan should eventually darken so much that the stripes all but disappear (perverse? nah!)

nice, and umm, cross weave denim 129?

Stress points are reinforced and the threads sit nicely on top of the card slots.

^ Pretty cool!

Love the layout of the first jacket. Reminds me a little of the m65.

Have to say, Shonan and the Italian leathers are pretty cool.

Glad that people are shifting away from CXL slowly.
