    looking for the OLD Vanson jacket guide?

    Thank you @AbbaDatDeHat! I too found this old chart very handy when buying my first couple Vanson jackets and the current sizing guide is a poor replacement in my opinion.

    Confounded by sizing

    Stuart from LW wouldn‘t even offer me shoulder measurements because he says they are meaningless. I don’t know if I agree with him, but your recent experience certainly lends credit to his statement. There are a number of factors that determine fit, and P2P and shoulder width don’t tell the...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I’m sure there is a forum out there somewhere for people who celebrate mediocre crap that doesn't fit well but didn’t cost too much either.

    Doubts about authenticity of Real McCoy's Buco J100.

    I have four or five Shinki horsehide jackets and none of them smell like leather anymore. A couple of them had no odor even when they were brand new.

    AERO's undersized zips

    I had a similar experience with my Bootlegger, but I think it was more like 3 months in my case. I had the zipper replaced with a #8 riri and it hasn’t been a problem since then. And Marc is correct that this is not unique to Aero. The Talon zipper on my heavy LW CHP gave out after about a year...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I’ve got two sledgehammers with me in my van but unfortunately I’m wearing my IH N-1 today. Maybe tomorrow.

    Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?

    Truer words were never spoken! I have proven this to myself with hand tools, guns, and leather jackets. In almost every case I went back later and bought the item that I truly coveted from the beginning.

    Fair Usage Bumping Policy

    When I see a long string of repeated bumps with no drops in price it smacks of stubborn desperation.

    Jacket Question

    Man I haven’t thought about her in years. She posted all the time when I first started hanging out here. She has a very cool collection.

    Soft leather jackets in the $500 to $1,000 price range?

    The naked cowhide from Johnson Leather is quite soft and wearable right out of the box. Most of their jackets are made for riding but they can make pretty much anything you might want and in this hide it would probably be in your budget.

    Aero vs Simmons Bilt - leather sample - customer experience

    I like the way you think, I may have to borrow that line myself.

    Pawnshop Langlitz find

    Having handled a goatskin Cascade at the Langlitz shop in Portland I can attest that it is an impressive hide. So much so that I almost bought the jacket, even though the arms were at least 2 inches too long for me.

    Quick Himel Brothers Review

    I can’t think of a single time where this has been the case. Everyone who orders a Himel is super stoked on the idea of having a custom (not gonna say bespoke, not gonna go there…) jacket made just for them and they behave accordingly. having said that your jacket looks amazing and it’s nice to...

    If she doesn’t eat spicy hot pot then I don’t want anything to do with her. We’ll have to agree to disagree about the virgin thing though.

    rrl doublerl Slim Fit Leather Moto Jacket

    Maybe there is some past history here that I missed out on but just from reading this thread it seems like you are taking everything Marc says quite personally and reacting accordingly. That doesn’t seem warranted here, after all we come here to share our opinions and thoughts and to disagree...
