    Ideal location/climate for leather jackets

    Any country in the Baltic Sea region. It’s mid-July and only +17-18 °C (c. 66 °F). Perfect weather for a leather jacket.

    Aero Leather Dustbowl brown Kelpie - Fit Check

    Looks real nice, in terms of fit and otherwise. That shade of brown is perfect too.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Schott from the late 60s or early 70s. Not sure what hide this is, but it's quite nice.

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    Upgrade? Nothing wrong with #5 zippers if they are made by Universal.

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    ^ Aye, liking brown more and more myself. SB has some hides with great ageing potential, this one being Horween Lux (pic from eBay):

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Thanks for your reply! Is the pattern of 613SH very different from the regular 613? I have the unfortunate case of being in-between sizes. The 613 in size 38 felt really tight in the shoulders (even on a t-shirt), whereas I was literally swimming in size 40. That said, I quite like the SH...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Anyone who has tried both, what's better, the slim fit version of the Aero 'motorcycle jacket' (known as Ridley in the US, I think) or Schott 613S/613SH? Aero might have the edge in terms of leather (CXL, Badalassi), but what about comfort?

    Green Leather Jackets

    Thanks! Ah, damn. I was hoping it would be emerald greenish, but looks like it’s a different shade, more 'swampish'.

    Anyone got any pics of the dark green Kelpie horse hide? (Already saw the ones posted by 3.14nche).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Highwayman. My first real order from Aero (excluding a stock jacket that I had to return). Damn glad that I didn't sell it.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    With the Premier patterns, did you spec slightly longer sleeves or did you ask for your ordinary sleeve length, BTW? I wonder if I should compensate for the smaller shoulder width of the premier half-belt.

    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

    My Prem HWMN in lightweight CXFQHH seems to lack the brownish undertones. I feel there's also a bit more luster/shine. The graining seems quite different as well.

    Any place for an affordable suede jacket? Or should I just check eBay for (used) Ralph Laurens or similar?

    Fit pics of shorter versions of the Aero Wayfarer/Halfbelts?

    A great fit there. How did you feel about the back length? I'm just as tall as you and considering 24". Probably no reason to go longer?

    Simmons Bilt - Need help to communicate!

    Damn, that's a lot of specifications there, haha. I think I only requested p2p, shoulders, and the usual sleeve/back length. Probably waist, too, as some of the styles lack taper.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Winning the thread here. Is that the burgundy Clayton horsehide? Shame SB no longer has it

    Yep, will discuss it with them.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    Sorry, hope it's the right thread - anyone ordered an Aero Premier Half Belt in a smaller size recently? Someone working for them told me that the shoulders on a size 38 Prem HB measure 16.5". Wonder if it's some kind of a mix up or if it's indeed the case now...? 16.5" seems extremely small...
