    FS: Late 60s Schott cafe racer (size 38)

    Apparently deadstock from the late 60s or early 70s. Worn it only a handful of times. Selling it, as I already have enough jackets and I'm no collector. With my measurements - chest 96 cm, height 182 cm, slim build - the jacket fits like an Aero board racer (essentially a shirt-like fit). Some...

    Excellent jacket. Looks just as good as any Aero.

    How to Find the right size Aero Half Belt 1930s

    Aero’s website says that a place called DeeCee Styles in Zurich stocks Aero. Why not go there and try different sizes?

    Aero leather help

    I think I'd draw the line somewhere around 4 oz, with around 3 oz or 1.2 mm being ideal. My SB in CXL steer is close to 5 oz or 2 mm (might be slightly less) - the jacket feels like a damn prison when layered! No joke!

    Aero leather help

    Denny himself wrote here quite recently, in July, that the thin CXL batches are not a regular thing. I quote: “For clarity the lighter skins we had were from a couple of batches we received during a time when Horween were having trouble sourcing Raw hides of a suitable quality for Chromexcel...

    A cheaper alternative to these leather pants?

    What's the consensus on nubuck leather pants? Seems like it's a pretty durable material, no? They seem to be widely available in Germany, e.g.: https://ricano.de/s-l-rt-101-buff-nubuk-geschnuert-schwarz-26

    Thanks a lot! That was very informative. Oddly enough, I could find very few pics of this style online. It doesn't seem to be nearly as popular as some other Aero styles for some reason.

    Another Schott in Shinki, this one looks good!

    What's the deal with the back length on some of these Schott cross zips? Looks kinda long. 24" or similar works best on this style, IMO

    What do you look for in a Custom / Bespoke / MTO / MTM jacket?

    Agreed. The producer usually knows the best. Individual measurements taken out of context usually mean nothing, so there is little point to chase them (at least that's what I have learned) - it's generally the cut, or the sum of individual measurements, that matters. Used to think myself that I...

    What do you look for in a Custom / Bespoke / MTO / MTM jacket?

    Good to hear that they fixed the pattern. The old size 40 (from the mid-2010s) felt oversized.

    What do you look for in a Custom / Bespoke / MTO / MTM jacket?

    What did they change? The old sizing didn’t work for me at all.

    Anyone know how does Aero Speedway fit compared to Premier Highwayman/HB? Are the sleeves as slim? Does it have more waist taper?

    My Highwayman in lightweight CXL FQHH. Will probably go to classifieds at some point (again) if anyone’s interested.

    What is aero premier line /style

    Chloe told me that the Premier Highwayman has narrower sleeves than the Premier HB, but the difference might be negligible.

    Does Vanson have a double rider jacket similar to vintage Schott Perfectos (613/618)? With slim sleeves, no “d-pockets”, just the essentials What’s the best regional Vinted site to check for Aero stuff? The German or French Vinted, maybe?

    Simmons Bilt MacKay

    Looks like SB prices have gone up a bit recently, with the average price around 700 euros for a jacket now (+ surcharge for the leather + shipping + VAT). It used to be a lot cheaper.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Damn, with the shipping and taxes, the biker jacket totals around 400 euro. Now that you mention the sleeve issue, it seems it's simply not worth it

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    What's their thickest leather currently? Found the premium goat to be quite thin (and lacking in shine, to be frank).

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yes, it looks very nice. I was thinking about ordering the same jacket. How do you like the cut? Is it more V- or Y-shaped or a regular cut with little taper? Wonder if they could pull off a vintage Schott Perfecto copy (with slim sleeves and no underarm footballs).
