    Aero leather help

    Good bet is that our information comes from different moments in time. But I sure hope that you are correct and that I am wrong when if I ever end up going for an Aero Vincent in black CXL!

    Aero leather help

    That is false. The thinner CXL batches were a fluke/mistake. They might have some remaining in stock. Last time I talked to Aero they still had some black and some cherry thinner CXL HH.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    There is no bidding on that site. If your offer was not accepted then it was either a mistake/misunderstanding or the seller is a prick.

    Fit check on my Aero Half Belt 1930s

    Looks very tight around the waist/naval yeah. I don't think it will stretch enough to alleviate the issue - you're much better off (in terms of both health and fit of this jacket) going hard with cardio for a while if that's possible.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Some trivia on JL boots - quite a few other companies order boots from JL to their spec and resell them at higher price. Dundas is a good example: https://dundasfootwear.com/pages/type01 Gimme the brown CXL ones...

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Looks a bit yeah, but it's more about how it feels I guess. And TJ is not clueless about sizing, I don't think he would wear it so long if it was the wrong size or felt restricting. The more I look at it the more it's clear that this exact jacket is my new dream green leather jacket and my new...

    What do you look for in a Custom / Bespoke / MTO / MTM jacket?

    As someone who has gone custom with Aero and very happy with the result I'll add my thoughts as well. 1 . Measurements / fit. The main thing here for me is how it fits bellow the chest. Ideally I need a "Y" shape and that's a very hard thing to get OTR as far as I know. I need the waist/naval...

    Five Star / 5* buttoned half-belt in black waxed premium goatskin

    Well described @navetsea , I asked for high armhole and even specified the width and sent photos how to measure. Came out completely off.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'll add a few of my thoughts here as well as a beginner. 1 . Let's not compare new 5* pricing to used Vanson/OtherMaker prices. Let's compare new to new to be fair. In that perspective 1 Aero = ~3 5*, 1 Vanson = ~2*, 1 SB = ~2*, 1 Thedi = ~4-5*. 2 . Like many others have said - they are...

    Five Star / 5* buttoned half-belt in black waxed premium goatskin

    Thank you @CombatWombat . The main issue with this jacket remains the overly-narrow sleeves and the overall lack of mobility. Partly due to the poor pattern (I guess) and partly because of the plain back (no mobility features). And it feels like it just never sits quite right on the body. I'll...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Seems to me like this is a perfect time to throw you 5* into the washing machine. I mean you have nothing to loose so might as well go all-in. In the name of science, you know?

    It's about time for a vest thread

    I've visited various different clothing shops and saw a whole lot of cool stuff during my first (and only) visit to Berlin, but the only item that I brought back was a Pike Brothers vest in the their "elephant skin". It's an XS size which is not available directly from Pike Brothers. I wish the...

    Selvedge vs non denim

    I remember someone saying that the selvedge attribute by itself does not make the item better or worse, but it is an INDICATOR that the fabric/denim itself is likely to be of much higher quality. Does not guarantee it, but greatly increases the chances. But I do have to say that in some cases...

    Field Leathers Bespoke - what should I expect?

    1 . Would not go custom without having tried various other jackets to get a really good feel and understanding of what you want. 2. Would not really go FL because of the mentioned crazy waiting time. 3. Would not go FL because he does not do custom anymore as far as I know. 4. Would not go FT...
