    Questions about Aero Leather HG 5

    Google Aero HG5 and you will find several TFL threads dating back more than 10 years discussing this jacket. Nobody has talked about it for a long time because it hasn’t been around for a long time now. To me, it looks like a cross between an A2 and the Highwayman.

    Thoughts one Mr. Freedom Campus Jacket?

    You should do a google search for this jacket and I bet a few TFL threads from a few years back will pop up. I seem to remember that about seven years ago this jacket had its day in the sun and several members bought them and reviewed them. I too have been tempted by this jacket from time to...

    Navy contrast stitching for russet badalassi?

    Been there and done that! At the end of the day, I can say that I never regretted any choice I made regarding contrast stitching, nor did I even particularly notice it once I started wearing the jacket.

    Navy contrast stitching for russet badalassi?

    I think navy stitching would look sharp.

    Bill Kelso Wait Times

    This has been my experience much of the time as well. Regarding BK, they were still talked about quite a bit when I started hanging out here in 2015. Most of the talk was negative regarding the personality and business style of the owner. In the ensuing years, there has been very little talk...

    Highwayman - Zip Sleeve Highwayman Database

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: a jacket that is half a size or so too small is always going to look great in photos. Makes it really frustrating when you are trying to show people what you mean about fit issues because anyone looking at the photos will think “man what is he...

    The Martin Lane CO G-1 Flight Jacket

    I agree about the motorcycle, but aside from that I would wear that jacket without a second thought. In my opinion it is in the sweet spot of rare and unusual without being too special to wear.

    The Martin Lane CO G-1 Flight Jacket

    What a score man!! and being a C series that is absolutely, no doubt, a real mouton collar! I can see someone paying you $500 to $600 for that jacket but if I were you, I would just wear it and enjoy it.

    New langlitz columbia leather ?

    If I understand correctly, they have phased out their heavy cow offerings because too many people couldn’t handle the weight and wanted a remake after receiving their order.

    What do you think of the Italian natural veg tan leather used by Simmons Bilt?

    I have a SB x IH jacket in this leather, and I really like it. The smell of the leather when it is new is one of the nicest I have experienced, and I’ve had a lot of of leather by now. I think @Tom71 summed it up really well, this leather is not for everyone. My girlfriend, for instance, does...

    New langlitz columbia leather ?

    Now that’s a silly question! I say give this jacket a chance to win you over before you give up on it, provided it fits well. I know that you and I have talked before about the challenge of getting a good fit from Langlitz (without a remake that is). If this one fits well, then I would keep it...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    This jacket looks like a perfect candidate for taking an inch or so off the bottom of the sleeves.
