    Broken Stitches

    I'm sure it's something that can be solved.

    My Crazy New York City Shopping spree

    At a push, I might have sprung for the G1, but I reckon I could pin a better deal on eBay. NYC shopping motto: Hey, hey, I'm gouging here!

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    The thing is, I tried an old design Hercules in cordovan and it looked fantastic. I remember thinking about it back when I was ordering my first jacket but went with the LHB because I thought it was a bit more low key. But now, I'm seriously tempted...

    Aero Indian Ranger and Daytona fit pics

    I know, it fit, it looked good, it was an unbelievable piece of kit... and yet it just wasn't me. I can't explain it, but I don't suit this type of jacket. I have a Board Racer which I love and feel completely comfortable in, but there's something about the classic black type biker jacket that...

    Aero Indian Ranger and Daytona fit pics

    I'd go with a pair Lee archive. Here's what your jacket looked like when I tried it on:

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    I bought a super tight version in a 38 and it was closer to a 36.5".

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    I've got a Boot in cordovan FQHH, and it's a beaut. I completely recommend you add a steer one to your collection.

    Aero Indian Ranger and Daytona fit pics

    I'd keep both. The Daytona suits you better than it did me, I'm glad you got it.

    Aero Type III

    You might want to think about tumbled hh, though I think anything above a mid weight leather would really suit this design. Goat would be hard wearing and tough alternative.

    Yeaaaahhh, suuuuuree you will.

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    Yes, I tried it on and I really liked it. I didn't see the Indian Ranger, but things were pretty frantic and jackets were being moved around a lot, so I'm not surprised. You scored a winner with the Daytona, though.

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    It is a serious piece of kit. I was beginning to overheat just wearing it in the factory - it's got a nice subtle herring-bone lining.

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    Incidentally, I understand more will be going up mid-week as there are some that they didn't get a chance to put up.

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    I almost bought the Daytona, but in the end it just wasn't me - Bigbenbs has got a bargain if it fits him as its pristine. In the end, I left empty-handed as I'd really set my heart on something in black and I couldn't find one that really did it for me. I did see a beautiful Hooch Hauler in...

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

    It kinda looks like they ran out of leather just at the end and thought 'contrast!'. I'm not a fan, though it fits you well. That said, I wonder if there'll be a two-tone in tomorrow's sale...

    Aero Sale: How Much Moolah?

    I think people have to calibrate expectations to stuff going for roughly cost price. If you consider that the stock going for sale is either new or nearly new, buying one and getting decades of wear at a deep discount represents a serious bargain. I wonder if they have an Indian Ranger in a 36...

    Aero Sale: How Much Moolah?

    I think you were perhaps being over optimistic. I pretty sure you'll be able to get something for £300.

    Aero Sale: How Much Moolah?

    Girlfriend has ordered me to get there Monday morning and pick out an early Christmas present for myself. Sorry...

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

    Having spoken to John about his circumstances, he has obviously had to deal multiple problems coming from different directions all at the same time - the death of his mother has left him with some ongoing difficulties that won't resolve themselves easily, while the loss of his button hole...
