    Does Your Jacket Stand Up?

    From my experience, thick leather and many seams don't go well together, super stiff and resistant to break-in. I'd rather get a design like this in Johnsons goat or bison leather or you could ask them for a sample of their redwood bison. The shade of brown differs from batch to batch, but all...

    Aero vs Johnson for leather cafe racer?

    Johnson Leather any time. I sold most of my Aeros. They look great on pictures but JL is just more comfortable to wear. Even the people who champion Aero, you rarely see them post pictures in their Aeros and many of their jackets end up in the Classifieds.

    Neck pain?

    Have not had the opportunity to try an Aero but have thought about them a few times. I wear an 18.5 inch neck dress shirt, would Aero patterns work for me? I understand that is a broad question but am curious. I wear an 18.5“ neck shirt and Aeros size 38-40 hurt my neck, atleast in the Zip...

    Neck pain?

    interesting assessment. i recall a thread where a member put on display his solution to the neck pain issue - his solution was indeed adding padding into the shoulder area.

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Good to hear. I would consider very carefully though whether I wanted the sleeves to be 2“ longer. They are borderline short but well within reason, noone in the real world would ever give them a second thought. +2“ and they will be almost knuckle-length which imho is WAY too long. I would want...

    Neck pain?

    The Aero neck pain debate has been going on for forever, many theories are out there as to what causes it. For all I am concerned, the exact why does not matter, fact is I can wear jackets made from equally heavy or heavier hides from other makers and have no such issues, so it definitely is a...

    Alter a Vanson Assoc White Label?

    This is a Model A, must be an early one. Leather looks like competition weight stuff of later decades, not like some experimental leathers you see on early models. Good find. Leather looks good condition apart from the slight fading into brown. I would leave it as is and just wear it. Taking in...

    Do Goatskin Jackets Mold to the Body like Horsehide?

    Good fit, wear as is. Fold in sleeve will blend in with other signs of wear come time.

    Estimate of Value Please

    On ebay, you'd fetch 250-350 USD for this, my estimate based on buying a bunch of used Vansons before.. probably closer to 250, this has seen a fair share of wear based on color loss, sleeve creases etc The Model C is a nice jacket, know at least one member here who rocks one and its a great...

    Do Goatskin Jackets Mold to the Body like Horsehide?

    Goatskin will settle in, break in whatever. It will form creases, too. Will take longer than the modern horsehide that is designed to break in fast. Is it going to shrink? No. Neither does horsehide though. So whatever effect you noticed with breaking in horsehide, you will have with goatskin...

    Vintage Burberry’s Leather Jacket – Lamb Nappa

    Aside from the label, I don‘t see any value in this jacket. It‘s the grotesque 90s style with dropped oversized shoulders, tunnel sleeves and overall oversized look which is entirely out of fashion and the leather is nothing appealing. Honestly, this jacket looks like a 50-100 dollars...

    Aero Cordovan Board Racer Size 38

    It may be a thinner batch and also, it may just be properly broken in. Most Aero jackets you see for sale have barely been worn because they didnt work for previous owners.

Most people will want to know these numbers...

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    31.5“ chest and pit to pit 18.75“ is a contradiction. Is the later of a jacket you own or how did you measure that? Also 19“ shoulders seem off too, that‘s what I get in my bigger jackets and I am 40“ chest, 165 lbs. First lesson here, imho, is maning sure you got your numbers right. Measuring...
