    Aero Brown CXR Steerhide vs. Simmons Bilt Havana Brown CXR Steerhide

    Me .... have had both ... and HAVE both colored hides in horse ( the Aero is Brown CXL the SB is Havana Brown Warhawk). The Aero and SB are slightly different color but similar ( the Aero is slightly paler if that makes sense) and the SB more redish. The SB is also slightly duller. I also...

    Be honest. What kind of jacket would you want to choose for going on a trip?

    Pack for Winter, Spring and Summer ..... seriously ! I've been in snow in June and equally I've been in shorts. We were up this weekend (Langholm and Glasgow) and it's 15 during the day and 7 at night ( DegC) ..... I don't imagine the end of the month will be much different. It might be though...

    Heavier coat/jacket that you have

    By far the heaviest "leather" was my Brown Vest De Rally .... I can't remember the exact weight ( it's posted on here somewhere) but it was easily over 10 lbs) .... the toughest, heaviest and most unwieldy horsehide I have ever owned. My shearling lined LHB comes in at just under 10lbs ( but...

    How should jackets fit?

    For leather jackets I like my chest 42" relaxed plus 4" for a bike jacket and up to 6" for 1/2" shearling and 8" for 3/4 - 1" shearling. However, there's nothing better than actually trying it on TBH ( which is why the " fit jacket" concept is so good :) :) ) No two jackets are "exactly" the...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    In my experience ... if you have to ask the question, you probably know the answer :( It's such a subjective thing ... "Fit" .... if it feels right, it fits right. If it doesn't feel right .. then it probably doesn't. As a wise jacket junkie once told me "One mans fit, is another mans f@ck-up"...

    I know this will cause some blood pressures to go up...

    Luckily, I've never ripped a button off a repro leather jacket ( Aero / SB / Lost Worlds / Eastman ) nor have I ever had one come off / unstitch ( I did break a button in half on a Veste De Rallye - no idea how - and Aero replaced it FOC :) ) Same can't be said for Schott Peacoats .... I've...

    Issue with William Lennon & Co

    I've got 2 pairs of Lennons ( Sole Boots and Hill Boots) .... as many have said before they're a little slow but worth the wait ... and the boots are INDESTRUCTABLE ( these are boots Stu at Lost Worlds would advocate )

    Am I crazy for not loving my new Aero horsehide jacket?

    Not crazy at all ... some like the weight, others don't .... the great aspect of the current repro market is that there is something for everyone. For lighter weight most manufacturers will offer lighter HH and other options. The HH used for A2 jackets is nice and light and has superb hand ...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    That one with the pinstripe trousers ... that's the curse of the Hook(USE)less zipper right there ..... look great, but as useful as a chocolate ashtray :( :(

    Custom Aero, the trigger has been pulled

    NICE .... as it wears in and the brown natural hide color shows through this will look fantastic with some lovely contrasting and complimentary colors. I get what you say about the lining .. but TBH ... Black cotton drill hides a multiple of sins ( as does tartan) and is a great wearing...
