    Aero Hooch Hauler Thread 2022

    Boy that sure sounds reassuring, your comments about mobility give me hope that I won't be disappointed with my incoming Hooch Hauler :) this is getting me hyped up

    Aero Hooch Hauler Thread 2022

    @3.14nche Yeah the back looks like it developed more than the front. I went with brown CXFQHH. How functional would you say is the back gusset now that you wore it for a year? How's the mobility in general? Arms forward, arms up?

    Aero Hooch Hauler Thread 2022

    @3.14nche Looks awesome both new and now. Does not look that much different to be honest. Mainly sleeve creasing. Also looks like the sleeves narrowed down a bit, don't look like pipes anymore. How has the feel changed? Did the leather soften up, become more comfortable, mold to your body...

    Question from a newbie: Why are Schott jackets not liked on such an authoritative resource as Fedora? Is it related to quality/design? Or with both?

    From my perspective part of the reason why people like me have a distaste for Schott is the confusion between the "real" US made high quality Schott and the EU made (maybe not made in EU, but for EU market?) overpriced garbage.

    Lovely boots, good luck with the sale. I also have a pair of 9011 and a pair of 9016, really amazing boots.

    caring for natural leather

    I might be wrong, but seems like treating dedicated rugged and most likely heavily pigmented practical riding gear and rather delicate unfinished/natural veg tan leather in the same way might not be the best idea.

    Did the Price of Aero Jackets go Down?

    Yeah I'm a bit sad that I didn't order two Aero jackets instead of one during the sale. ~590 sale price vs ~770 now. It was a fantastic chance to get an Aero, even if you do end up sending it back or selling it.

    Anyone ordered from Leder-Jack.de?

    Okay now my browser no longer blocks it due to fishy SSL certificates. Might not be as sketchy as I thought. https://www.trustedshops.de/bewertung/info_XD18A1002726E0C19F9AB1B91C5327F33.html Seems like a mass reseller across multiple countries. Based in France. Up since 2005. Has address...

    Sketchy website, don't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

    Post pictures of your jacket collection

    @ton312 You look much more ripped in the black one than in any other one of those. Not quite sure why.

    Get out the goats!

    @CombatWombat Fair enough, in terms of pure breathability goatskin probably wins over horsehide due to slightly looser grain, which makes it more usable in warm weather. Never heard of "brewer's tails", can you drop a link? Ain't a Swede either haha. Also it makes sense that a button up would...

    Get out the goats!

    @CombatWombat I've got the impression that the leather itself doesn't have much affect on the warmth of the jacket, almost all of the it comes from the lining. On the other hand if the leather is stiff and you're kind of fighting it all the time then I suppose you do work up a sweat much more...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    @Canuck Panda That looks incredible on you even without any laces or side cinches. Do you regret not having them for how it looks now or for the potential future flexibility of the jacket in relation to body changes? The quilting looks fantastic yeah. The underarm footballs seem extremely...

    IC/FS: Freewheelers Sunset Jet Black Deerskin - 40 New

    Not being able to wear a jacket anymore seems like a totally acceptable side effect of a considerable amount of weight loss. Does not seem like anything "tragical" to me :)

    Five Stars Leathers: remake of a 30's "Aviator's" style Jacket

    Oh my, it looks fantastic fully zipped up! Now I'm even more convinced that the fit is stellar. I also think that the sleeves will crease and shorten. From how the cuffs move up along your arm when you straighten your arms I think that the sleeve length is spot on. Would ride up too much if...

    Five Stars Leathers: remake of a 30's "Aviator's" style Jacket

    Looks very nice. Some fit pics zipped up please! I remember you mentioned that you asked to increase the length but keep the pockets where they are - I guess that was the mistake. Would definitely look better with pockets lower. The back gusset seems extremely functional/useful! Looks like 5*...

    Fit check: Aero x Thurston Bros. Sheene in blackened brown Vicenza

    Looks awesome. If I were to go for a custom one I'd spec slightly narrower shoulders and slightly shorter sleeves. And a bit more in the chest and waist if you say it feels tight. But the weight loss should help - good luck with that. And most importantly - congratulations on your first Aero...
