    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Obernauf’s LP had a nice honey smell to it, but I don’t think it will be strong enough to cover the cigarette smell. It is great on boots - though it does darken then colour. Have you tried an ionizer? https://www.ironheartde.com/footwear/obe-hdlp.html

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    1. Does the button on the other side of the Indian Ranger throat tab start to show through the other side with wear? I kind like the look of the tab, but would never use it. 2. Please tAlk me out of selling one of my x-zips to fund a Mr Proper style Ridley. I think I have contracted TFL Syndrome!

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    You’re killing me here! I love the flat yet rich color of the vic. I need another x-zip like a hole in the head …. Unless I sell one to make room for a new one.

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    I’m telling myself not to do it …. But oh man am I tempted to order a dark seal Vic ‘Ridley’ while the new site sale is still on.

    Over 50 wearing leather jackets

    I love this thread. It continues to inspire and challenge my preconceptions. I used to think that there were ‘younger’ (eg x-zip) and ‘older’ (flight) people styles of jackets and that it was harder for us old folks to wear the younger people styles. I’ve come around to a new perspective-...

    My Benzeins haven’t had a lot of wear over summer, but they are comfortable af on my extra wide feet.

    Custom Simmons-Bilt Cross Zip fit- seeking opinions

    It was a nice jacket and looks much better on you. I’m guessing you aren’t a slim size 38 though.

    Anyone else still waiting for jacket weather ?

    I am looking forward to jacket weather and going for a morning run in the brisk cool air rather than brutal tropical humidity. But I am not looking forward to losing the summer light - walking in to work when it’s still dark outside.

    Aero Board Racer - Fit Advice

    I would go an inch longer in the body and two in the sleeves. The shoulders look good to me.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I’ve been spraying my black/brown Vic all weekend to break it in some more - but the water just beads and rolls off.

    Wearing around the house counts, right? It’s 90+ degrees outside right now.

    Field Leathers MC-MLC Jacket

    Sounds like a winner. Greg does amazing work. In hindsight, I should have kept the side adjusters down low at the waists and maybe should have kept the D pocket. Honestly, this jacket has suffered from TFL Syndrome - I’ve been buying more jackets and not wearing what I have enough. It’s...

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

    New thread idea: Over 50 and wearing shorts with our jackets.

    Aero Rockafella

    The fit came together well, I think. I lengthened the body a half inch over stock and shortened the sleeves an inch. In hindsight, maybe the bottom opening could have come in just a touch, but it’s still good. The blackened brown Vic suits the style, though I think this is a jacket that will...

    Leather Cafe Racer Sizing Question

    The fit looks good, but now that you are on the Fedora Lounge you might as well save the money you were considering spending on alterations …. for the inevitable next jacket. This one will be a great base to take measurements from so that your first custom jacket knocks the fit right out of the park

    Fresh out of the box a few minutes ago. More details to follow, but I’m very happy with everything!

    Post Brexit import experiences

    I just got hit for import duties from DHL. That didn’t happen with the LL or FL they sent last year, valued around the same price or more. I’m not complaining, the pound is so low it’s still a great deal - I just find the inconsistency strange.
