    Aero jackets worth it?

    LOL, that is so true. There's something about the way they are cut that distributes the weight of the jacket inefficiently. You especially feel it with the heavy CXL

    Broken Stitch

    Just noticed one of my jackets has a single broken stitch. It's at the bottom of the rear hem so not in a crucial spot, or in a spot where there's frequent movement or flexing of the stitching. I was wondering if I should bother with getting it fixed. What do you think guys?

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Avoid the stiffer leathers such as CXL FQHH. If you must have horsehide look at Aero's Vicenza, or Shinki from another maker, etc. And if even those are too stiff for you, look into cow or even goat or deer hide offerings. In terms of Aero, some of their patterns are unforgiving, and add their...

    <<< age appropriate jackets >>>

    Most 'old guys' dress horribly. They either lack taste or have stopped caring and only want to be comfortable, and will wear whatever was cheapest at Costco or Burlington Coat Factory LOL.

    <<< age appropriate jackets >>>

    no, it's a classic style that anyone regardless of age, shape or size can wear, as long as the fit is good. The only time these look corny is when it's a cheap faux MC type jacket like you'd find at a place like H&M or at the mall etc. But one from one of the brands that gets talked about here...

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    How are they? Have you handled these makers jackets from previous years, and if so how did the new ones compare?

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    I've read a few comments on this here and there and was wondering if anyone knows the full story...that Freewheelers, Rainbow Country etc had smaller than normal production runs the last couple years due to the lack of acceptable quality leather coming out of Shinki. Understandable due to Covid...

    Game changer fix for Aero // \\ pattern issue

    It seems to be a couple of things that cause this...shoulders being too level i.e.; not enough built-in slope, and the way the collar is built-in i.e.; if there's too much tension happening at the collar. In regards to Aero, I've had several and only one had this issue...a CXL Premier...

    Experience in Freewheelers leather sizing?

    I've had 4 Freewheelers - Switchyard, Brakeman and 2 Journeymans. One thing to keep in mind is they all sport very high arm holes, and they also sport heavy liners that take up a tad more interior space than say a regular cotton drill lining...which means that when shopping for one you want one...

    US Manufactured Jeans

    The frustrating thing about Gustin is that half the time the jeans they send you will be out of spec. In my case many pairs were around an inch smaller in the waist than their size chart, and this has happened about half the time...so waayyyy too common an occurence. The good news is they will...
