    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    Well, these are hand-made products from what surely must be some of the most difficult materials to handle (heavy, thick hides). I’d say that would account for a reasonable level of variation.

    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    Note that the picture above is for a Board Racer, not a Cafe Racer. They really are very different shapes.

    Post your KEEPER jackets. Here's mine and I mean it this time..!!

    @HoosierDaddy , that Thedi Washed tan buffalo cross button is just the business! I mean, you’ve got some stellar jackets there, but for my money that one in particular is just nuts & works on you.

    Just sensational. This is frankly the point at which we all aspire to end up in the everlasting jacket journey. Congratulations, you’ve made it to the end of the game. Now that’s gotta be a first.

    Your favourite jacket - RIGHT NOW

    Ok, just for fun, what’s your favourite jacket, right now? I emphasise the ‘right now’ part as I know my favourite switches frequently. ‘Right now’ this gorgeous heavy Steerhide Cordovan Highwayman is just perfect (until I inevitably change my mind & reach for another!)

    FS: Aero Highwayman Connolly Steerhide, sz. 46

    Might be worth mentioning; I have a size 42 from the same era (same hide), which fits just like a modern day size 42 jacket. In the Highwayman model, it is commonly accepted that you need to downsize to get a neat fit. I guess 30 years ago that wasn’t the case. Good luck with the sale, fairly...

    putting the shine back on old leather?

    That’s exactly how I use it, on the heels of my RMW’s.

    putting the shine back on old leather?

    Huh? That’s basically the same as painting it. Not really in the same vein as restoration or preservation approaches.

    Is my leather jacket drying out?

    These hides are so full of waxes & oils from new that you really don’t need to do anything for years (read a couple of decades). It’s also normal for the hides to ‘bloom’. This is where the waxes come to the surface & show up as a slight white residue. Different atmospheric conditions will...

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

    Looks bloody awful. Send it my way & I’ll help an old mate out ;) Mine is an XL & I think the L would be just.... about.... right....

    Aero Board Racer Fit

    Thanks, that’s a nice offer. I wasn’t thinking about buying any more jackets - I don’t even wear the ones I have enough! But then the LW Jean Jacket found me & I was thinking last night that I wouldn’t mind an updated cafe racer / j100..... I think I might be affected with the Jacketeer’s disease.

    Aero Board Racer Fit

    So Holly, would one usually size up one size for the Board Racer pattern to achieve a similar fit to what they’d normally wear in the cafe racer? Or does it simply not work that way?

    Is This Schott P613s Too Large?

    Appears to be spot on. Only you will know though. Experience has taught me that if it’s not right, right away, it rarely gets better by wearing it in. Again, I think it looks great.
