Master Supply Co Leather

Perfect now!

How’s the jacket now that you have a couple months with it? I need a new leather jacket, but nobody has what I want in stock. I’m considering a Master Supply jacket in the mean time.
-
@Go-For-Chill it's a great jacket. Fits great, still not broken in. I just ordered an Aero though so it will probably be on eBay or FB marketplace soon.

Gave the Daytona Reload a wear this evening.

@indigo_fades I’m pry going to come off a bit of a prat here but there is a MSC in every industry. Find an established formula that works and copy it. With little to no ingenuity, it is hard to offer up any praise. At least when they knocked off TJs Y2 chore coat, they added side pocket entries over the traditional chore pocket. While this piece is a wabash western, something every heritage brand offers, from what I can see, there is literally nothing distinguishing this piece as a MSC over the IHSH-62. I’m all for inspiration but this is a little too “copy the smart kid sitting next to you in class”
-
@flannel-slut Agreed. I commented on their page that they could have changed SOMETHING. They kept the tag placement, font color, and the buttons exactly the same. All easy opportunities to change a little something to at least help distinguish it from the IH Wabash. I know there are only so many designs available for traditional style shirts, and many of the repro companies market their shirts as a repro, so it works. However, to keep every detail the same and intentionally not acknowledge the source to take credit seems devious.
Well worn denim & leather is a journal of life.

@flannel-slut well said. I was actually looking into their leather chore coat and found out they operate out of my city. I still may get one eventually. That said, their Wabash looks to be a copy of Ironheart with no originality to it. Even using their logo in yellow on the pocket sort of irks me to be honest. Im guessing the people they’re marketing towards don't know about Ironheart .

@Chibs agreed man, their leather chore really does look slick but with such limited closet space I find myself quickly talking myself out.
Similarly, I recently looked to save some coin on sweatpants and went w Bronson Mfg. they’re made out of some very impressive (for the price point) 20oz terry cloth but you would not believe how badly they fucked the cut. I’ll have to post about it on the Bronson thread but 99 times out of 100, you pay for what you get
-
@indigo_fades right on man and not that I need any encouragement but you should post some pic updates of your field jacket (realizing that this is the “slick” chore jacket I referenced above)

Oh man. Bronson is great for tshirts but I guess you have to be careful with their other stuff. Honestly I’m in love with Uniqlo’s “HEATTECH PILE LINED SWEAT PANTS“ so comfortable and most importantly warm. Bought 4 colours and wear em every morning for our sub zero walks. Not sure if you’re in winter temperatures, but these are awesome. They have regular jogging pants too. I think Uniqlo is the only reason I succumb to the “Daddy, I want to go to the mall” requests.
probably my favourite mass market chain. You often get a fuctone more than you paid for over there. -

@CosmoSix5 Looks superb, mate!
-
@flannel-slut try their supima tee shirts too if you haven’t already. Much softer than Bronson’s stuff. I’m not a Uniqlo shill I promise!

@flannel-slut Funny, I had a similar experience with the Bronson 1930 Boxing Sweater recently. The fabric is superb (Probably the best fabric of any sweatshirt I've ever worn, even over Lady White Co and Iron Heart), but the cut was HORRIFIC. It was choking me so much that I actually seam ripped the collar, cut the neckline down in the front, and sewed it back together. And it's just now bearable, still not perfect. Here's a before and after picture I posted on a Reddit thread a few weeks ago when I did this:
Also, be careful - apparently the loopwheel t-shirts they advertise aren't actually loopwheel, it's just the name.
-
@indigo_fades 100% this!! Problem is, like you said, their fabric is so good that I’m still willing to try other offerings

@flannel-slut
Here's a recent photo of their Field Jacket. It's some of the best natural veg tan I've had. Definitely needed a Bick4 condition, but it was so good after that.

@indigo_fades What. A. Pic. I may want a jacket of my own and DEFINITELY want the dog.

@flannel-slut She's the best. Couldn't have asked for a better pup, really.
Also, here's the response from MSC to my comment about looking like a copy/paste of the IH Wabash.
