    Custom Aero leather jacket

    I can’t help you there, I haven’t handled Shinki, but the previous owner had a few Shinki leather jackets and compared it to this particular batch of Vincenza as very similar. I can tell you though that my black vic is super nice, I love it.

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    Heaps different, I don’t even know why are they both called Vincenza, they vary wildly. The black vic is closer to Jerky HH and the BB Vic is closer to goat-hide, weirdly enough. It’s known that Vincenza varies a lot between batches, my black vic one I got years ago from another fellow TFL...

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    Apologies for the crappy pics, my phone just uploaded the software and seems to have a mind of its own.

    The last one is the CXL, and this one is the Bb Vincenza:

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    This pics are not super recent, it’s the middle of summer here in Oz, but the jackets look pretty much the same apart from the CXL that looks way more brown and aged, it’s like if every time I wear it, it ages like five years compared to how the other ones age. Seal brown Jerky HH: Black Vic.:

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    I have five Aeros at the moment: 2 x Vincenza, 1 x Jerky HH (poor name choice as explainer earlier), 1 x CXLFQHH and 1 x Oil pull. The two Vincenza, black and blackened brown are completely different to each other, the black is stiffer, with very pronounced creases and more matte, and the...

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    In my experience, one of the nicest ones of Aero HH leathers and still strangely very underrated around here is jerky HH. It’s almost like a perfect compromise between the nicest characteristics of Vincenza and CXLFQHH combined.

    FS: Aero Rockafella Size 38

    Don’t do it. Sell everything else and keep this one, it suits you incredibly well.

    Vanson Model B opinion

    He was hard to understand, for periods he’d be a very nice member, contributing a lot to the forum, complimenting other members and with good manners and then he’d flip and go on rampages hating everything and everyone. A bit bipolar and OCD. I kind of miss him though, he was a bit colourful...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Cool outfit, but I gotta ask, how long have you been growing your beard? It’s epic!

    What is wrong with me?

    Lol! The way this is going and a few more beers down and you’ll end up keeping your collection as it is and tomorrow that thread will just be a blur and a hangover!

    What is wrong with me?

    Your GW and your Kehoe would make for a very cool, perfect fitting, versatile and fine tuned minimalist "Enlightened-Collection". You would have reached "Jacketeering Nirvana" and wouldn't need or want anything else, and you could still enjoy this hobby without the need to add anymore, just...

    What is wrong with me?

    Wait, what? So now it’s my fault that you’re feeling like this?? :oops: Lol!

    What is wrong with me?

    No mate, you’re wrong. This IS good, you’re a collector that has curated the collection that wants and stopped at 10. Now time to sit back, admire them, wear them even if it’s a minute in front of the mirror or not for months and be stoked that you can enjoy the collection and the journey it...

    Rainbow Country makes the nicest G-1’s, and that’s a real beauty.

    They did a great job. I’m the same as you, lack of inside pockets annoys me immensely.

    I want to do the same to some of mine, would you mind posting a close up pic of the pocket addition end result as reference please? Thanks.

    Is there too much grain on my new jacket?

    Is that steerhide?
