    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    In the movie, Tom's leather seems more "waxed" and oiled than new...but of course I cannot say if that is photography/lights/effects or a specific leather treatment to pop the jacket out of the screen...I wouldn't say it seems new, at all

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Movie theatre here in Italy....and, yes, pretty sure that Tom's leather is legit and original (I have a 50s Hercules and waiting for another)....nothing to be compared with that new Schott "repro". The costume designer said that he was mixing old legit stuff with new ones heavily customized so...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Exactly! Yesterday evening I finally went to see the movie and I was absolutely sure to have seen exactly THAT Hercules on FDL...here it is. I know that the costume designer, Erin Benach, did a great job in building several versions of the main jackets but the one that Hardy is mainly wearing IS...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yes, you know....only people that love authentic items and care about details "care about those details"....for all the others mass market is easy to reach with all the marketing fads and copies. We are lucky to have a platform like this, to share our passion

    Freewheelers aviator pants, Toys McCoy’s Marlon Brando Engineer boots, Cone Mills Levi’s pants

    The idea of a "Marlon Brando starter kit" makes me laugh painfully.... Nice marketing hook tho

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Los Angeles suede Sportogs in good conditions. Could somebody help me tracing the age of this gem? Could be pre 2nd WW?

    AERO's undersized zips

    I want to thank AERO Leather for changing the main zip for free (not even charging the shipping back/forth). This new Universal seems pretty solid and absolutely in style! Very nice customer service

    AERO's undersized zips

    Ha ha ha ha...that would be ridicoulous....No, of course. I am saying thay the horsehide used by Aero is unique, I do not find that texture/weight/shine anywhere else...And I am not saying that that is the best, is just that I am personally in love with it. Clear enough? Sorry but I am not...

    AERO's undersized zips

    Maybe I am ignorant...I travel around the world visiting stores, I work in fashion since 1995, I have many friends who are makers and designers, I buy leathers since the 80s so....I guess I know a little...I am saying that imho I have never touched/seen a leather like Aero's FQHH in other...

    AERO's undersized zips

    I totally get your point BUT....I cannot find the beauty of Aero's CXL FQHH in any other new product. And I am not saying that "they are the best, period"....but if you are (like I am) so deeply obsessed with that hide and texture since the '80s it's almost impossible to find an alternative. So...

    AERO's undersized zips

    Yes, I am going off topic but I'd never trade Aero's solid CXL FQHH with that thin shiny shinki thing...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Here my last Vanson (thank you lounger Bobby Schneider!)..a cool, basic Bandit. I truly love this model for the simplicity of it...a neat, functional CHP, no exotic details, no funky pockets, no shiny leather, no drama at all... just a biker's everyday loyal companion. Good ol' piece of leather!

    AERO's undersized zips

    Update: I am in contact with Aero's staff and they are proposing a pick up of my Windward for replacing the zip with an Universal...Let's see how it goes but I am happy about the quick and positive answer from their side: no issues were raised and everybody was very kind and supportive. Surely...

    AERO's undersized zips

    I agree with you...I have become good at repairing the male pin issue but I am still facing the (typical in Aeros) issue of "getting the slider inserted into the male pin" due to the small dimension of the zip and the leather's bulkiness

    AERO's undersized zips

    Won't they? How could I know if I haven't asked yet....but thank you for the advice

    AERO's undersized zips

    Exactly...I have an Aero motorcycle jacket from the early 90s and it's really tricky to zip because of this issue...and my new Windward too

    AERO's undersized zips

    Thank you for your insight. I agree that older zip were better and that #10 are amazing both for bikers' jacket and "civilian" ones...I have a Thedi Grizzly with a #10 on and it's something else. I will ask Aero to replace my zip, I hope they will do it for a low price

    I get the whole point of style correctness BUT...
