    Thinking of buying my first schott, what do you guys think of it?

    I love my Schott 618. I use it on my motorcycle, and it works great. I have it in steer and horse and different sizes as my weight fluctuates. All I have to say about Monitor's comment is: there are numerous complaints about Aero zipper failures on this forum, haven't heard of any Schott zipper...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks guys. The Johnson M500 block makes for a GREAT motorcycle jacket. I have had Vanson and Langlitz, and JL is a Step up because you can choose your options and leather, just my opinion. @Kalmer, these are some older pics. Still waiting for the sun to come up over here.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks guys. I really like Iron Heart denim. I only have Bravestar denim to compare too. It is night and day when comparing IH 21oz. and 25oz. Their signature 21 oz denim is like naked cowhide and their 25oz is more like Lost Worlds hh. They both make great choices for MC riding. The 21oz could...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    54 degrees and sunny. Great day in Cleveland, Ohio. Oiled up my JL and gave my new 25oz. IH888 jeans a go. What a great combo for cold weather rides. I'm sure they will perform well under terrible conditions. The JL just works great in the cold. The extra inch on the 888s makes all the...

    Help checking an Aero J-106 build

    I have to agree with everything Guppy has said. I like to USE belts on RIDING jackets. Belts can flop around and hit things from time to time, and also be a little noisy. I like the option of a removable belt when not on the motorcycle. Aero has a great option for a removable belt on their...

    Which leather for an Aero Premier Halfbelt?

    Sounds promising. I put some Vanson conditioner on my heavy CXLHH from JL. It was quiet for about a month then it started to get noisier. I was going to recondition it for the fall weather. Hopefully the noise stays away. I am not even sure what is in the Vanson stuff. lol. Please keep us posted.

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    I am on team CXL. I think I will crumble WAY before my 4.5oz. CXLHH jacket ever wears out.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks for the compliments fellas. I didn't see the fine print. lol. That sums up a Browns season to a tee. Sometimes naps start at 2 and drinks at 4:30 to wash down another loss. We are a self ignited dumpster fire over here.

    76 degrees and low humidity. Rare in August. Had to take advantage of the beautiful weather.

    Buying my first Aero leather jacket - advice appreciated

    I am really surprised The Fedora Lounge has not solved the SQUEAKY leather issue. LOL. I have a heavy CXL horsehide jacket from JL. It is pretty darn noisy, and I would call it annoying, almost embarrassing. I have over 200 hours of wear time on it, and it is still obnoxious. It might have...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Perfect weather for a motorcycle ride today on the shores of Lake Erie. Overcast, 74 degrees and low humidity, unusually perfect weather here in August. Perfect time for the Perfecto. Also, perfect weather for the Iron Heart 21oz 634s. I originally bought the 634s for cold riding, but they...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I really dont think there is any hope for the current CW from Vanson. I am pretty sure Ton took some acetone to a newer Vanson to no avail. If you can find a way to liven up CW leather, you will be a hero on this forum. lol. Good luck and please post the results.

    Aero Sheene made of unfinished horsehide

    I am very intrigued with this unfinished leather. I love how these age. I can't afford a new jacket right now, but I am talking myself into a new belt. LOL.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I can't wait to see more of this one. WOW!!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I thought it was, but I was unsure. I have the CXL overdye from JL. I have yet to get it wet. It has been a tough nut to crack. I'm sure one of these days it will get soaked. I am sure it can handle it and I hope it will quiet down a little after it gets soaked. Your jacket is looking good and...

    Just wondering what hide that was? CXL?

    Cleaning a goat-skin leather jacket?

    I thought I read on Vanson's website somewhere, that when you send them a jacket for reconditioning, the first thing they do is put it in an industrial washing machine. A TRUE motorcycle jacket can handle getting wet and roughed up, if not, it isn't a motorcycle jacket. Not really sure if...
