    Post pictures of your jacket collection

    That depends... Is your name Krz_ _ _ _ ski? Then yes, this is it! As far as break in is concerned, the goat as softened and is a beauty to wear. It doesn't really show much break in though, not like a thick steerhide or HH jacket can. It is a superb jacket. made by Julie on 11.03.15

    Holy crap, I’ve got a problem. For crying out loud, It’s not even cold enough here to get ‘proper’ wear out of a single heavy jacket! Oh well, here’s the current herd: A trio of Highwaymen... Early (1980'ish) black steerhide, Cordovan steerhide, Black steerhide with zip sleeves. L to R...

    Aero 1980 Highwayman, tons of character!

    Thanks, I can only pass on the info as relayed to me from the prior (and original) owner. The info above is exactly as I was informed. Either way, it doesn’t change whats offered for sale here. The best way for any potential purchaser to make a decision is take a look at the pics. Ive done my...

    Aero 1980 Highwayman, tons of character!

    Good questions. Connolly...? I know that Aero were using Connolly around this time & I have owned another Highwayman that was made from Connolly Steerhide (since passed on to another lounger). This one IS very similar to that hide (certainly shows very similar grain & has a very soft hand), but...

    Aero 1980 Highwayman, tons of character!

    You just don't see these every day..... I recently acquired this absolute stunner of an original Aero Highwayman jacket. Purchased by the original owner (who I acquired it from) around 1980 from a shop in Taunton UK. It's been well-worn over those 40 or so years & has developed a wonderful...

    Minimum Annual Usage

    Yeah, but you've got a special kind of manic obsessive disorder ;) Spending THAT much time on the most minute details to create the 'perfect' artisan piece & then moving it on five minutes after taking ownership...... Well, you sir are in a whole other league !! Love ya!

    Minimum Annual Usage

    Interesting question posed at the start of this thread. I live in Sydney Australia, so we do have a winter, but in all honesty it's only really cold enough for heavy leather jackets for around 10 weeks or so. Most year's this is the time of year that my Wife and I select to have a holiday, so...

    Hanging jackets on a wall.

    I ashamed to admit that I’ve ‘only’ got 9 at the moment..... :( AND that’s when we only have approximately 10 weeks out of the year with weather suitable for leather jackets. love this thread!

    What's your 'grab-and-go' jacket...?

    Yup. that was pretty much the point of this thread. We all have stunning jackets, some are lucky enough to have several. When it all comes down to it, I suspected that there were a whole other type of jacket that saw the light of day when we’re off to run errands etc & a big, heavy leather...

    What's your 'grab-and-go' jacket...?

    Ok, another simple idea for a thread, what's your favourite grab-and-go jacket? I mean, we all have 'favourite' jackets, some of which hardly see the light of day for one reason or another (eg heavy leather does not always equal ease of use). So I'm curious, which jacket of yours actually sees...

    Actually a collared board racer (aka 'Seven'). Tumbled Horse, one of my current favourites.
