    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Random question: am I the only one here that prefers zip pulls that don't dangle and jangle about? Like the ones on jeans that lock in place, and make no sound. I also hate snaps that are designed with that annoying rattling sound when they're not fastened. (Yes, I know a tiny dab of silicone...

    Aero board racer - fit pics

    I believe Aero can taper the jacket by taking out a couple of inches at the waist? Might be more flattering.

    Aero board racer - fit pics

    I always wondered if the centre back seam dug into the spine when sitting in a car? I agree that something needs doing to tailor in the lower back for OP, as that isn't a flattering look. By the way, if you lift weights the circumference around the chest will likely increase a few inches...

    In principal I really like the characteristics of goat, just not the fact it usually seems to end up with a plastic top coat, even when dyed through. The Thedi goat sounds like a winner.

    Do you sometimes get pull up goat? A E.g. an oiled/waxed hide without the plastic coating you see on goat leather from companies like Aero.

    Two ELMC Californians Different Color Different Size. Which One Would You Keep?

    The smaller one fits much better, and it's an even nicer colour too!

    leather jacket treatment question

    Applying WD-40 sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. Literally try any product intended for use on leather before trying that.

    With something like a 100% markup on their Japanese prices, they should be ;-)

    Cross zip nation

    Lapels broader than the collar? Not something I'm used to seeing, but have now seen it on 3 jackets here in as many days. It creates an odd balance. That Bates jacket looked lovely, by the way.

    What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?

    Same here- I can't wear high rise jeans. My inside leg (31) is short next to my height, and combined with a big ass, I get the diaper effect, where there's soo much material in the front. The jeans I wear are Levi's 541s, which have the same height in the rear as high rise jeans, but a regular...

    Credit where credit's due, that jacket does look perfect undone and from behind.

    Each to their own. :) Whatever floats your boat. Nothing wrong with different preferences. It's striking seeing jackets above the belt line on men in modern times, because typically only women's jackets ride that high.

    The overhang never looks good, I think, it's just a failure of fit on a slim man. However it isn't enough to ruin a jacket. The brown jacket on the right still looks great, though it would undoubtedly be better with the correct fit around your hips. The black jacket on the left would suit a man...

    What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?

    After a decade living is Asia, there were few items of clothing I managed to buy there that fit me, that aren't tailor made or adjusted to fit. I'm not massive by any stretch of the imagination in the West, but at 6'1 and a muscular 225ish, I basically couldn't buy anything outside of a few...

    I figured the lack of skivving had something to do with the pocket show-through you get from internal pockets and around external pockets on Aero's. I don't mind the show through, but I presume they're linked.

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    I love the look of zips... Might get a buttoned jacket one day, though. Plus, there has to be some way of attaching the zips AFTER washing, though that means washing before construction is finished.

    Advice for total newbie living in China

    I agree with the "mail to HK" option if you know someone there and live kinda close. When I was based in Guangzhou it was the obvious option for me.
