Leather Ferrari Jackets
I’ve been curious about getting a red leather Ferrari racing jacket, and have been looking at Grailed and EBay for preowned ones. But they seem suspicious? I’ve heard Ferrari is a popular brand for knockoffs, and I’m pretty sure the ones I’m seeing are not genuine vintage jackets. That’s not a huge problem for me. Since this’ll be more of an occasional statement piece anyway, and I’m only a casual Ferrari fan, I don’t need it to be genuine.
I do worry about the quality of the knockoffs and whether they’ll look like the images though.
I’m trying to get a sense of what I should expect if I go down this road. Is $200 too cheap to expect a decent preowned/knockoff leather jacket? Will a fake fall apart on its own in a few years, or be extremely uncomfortable? Will it even be leather?
Here’s an example listing: https://www.grailed.com/listings/57885806-ferrari-x-leather-jacket-x-streetwear-ferrari-racing-leather-jacket-vintage-streetwear-m?g_aidx=Listing_production&g_aqid=e3edbffe306adadaa2ba5d7c86ffef3d

Old Timberlands Repair
I have a super old pair of timbs I don’t wear too often - I think I got them in 2006. The left insole has this raised bump, it’s almost a squiggly S shape like it’s a blob of old glue. It’s super uncomfortable to walk on. I don’t know if it’s an original defect, but if not, maybe the cushioning has just aged or something. Anyway, curious if you all would recommend trying to take this to a cobbler to repair it (is that gonna be cost effective?), or if I should just get a heel insert?

white stitch across shoulders
I just got a new wool overcoat. There’s a white stitch across the top seam on both shoulders that looks like it should be pulled out. It’s already kind of fraying. This coat is from a pretty reputable brand so I think it’s meant to be pulled out rather than a defect. Does anyone know what it’s for and if it’s common?

Duffle Coats
I’m looking for a heavier coat for US Northeast winters. I was originally going to get an overcoat, but it seems like duffle coats are a better choice for the 20s-low 30s. I saw Gloverall is the go to, but definitely has an older boxier look. I’m torn between the original and the Drake collab. I saw Spier and Mackay also had a nice duffle coat, that looks like it has a bit more modern fit.
Do y’all have other recs (for any kinds of heavy wool coats) or info that can help break the tie?
Here are the two I like the best right now:
