    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey high-maintenance... Thank you for this thoughtful and insightful answer to my question. It is exactly the front-line point of view that I was looking for, and I thoroughly appreciate it. I'm sorry that I lured you out onto the thin ice regarding political posts, and sorry that you got a...

    A child's love melts the heart of the toughest guy. This picture deserves to be in a gallery somewhere.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Those are two cool jackets. Have you posted pics of either of them? Could you bend your arms while wearing them both? I will sometimes wear a bigger and looser jacket or coat over my leather jacket, when it's cold, but I've never worn another leather jacket over it. It's cool, and made me...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have to disagree about being too old to wear a cafe racer - a Perfecto, perhaps, but not a cafe. There's something casual, understated and easy wearing about a cafe. They're timeless and ageless. BTW - What are you pretending to be doing? o_O

    Awesome outfit! But that room would look nicer with some carpet, furniture, and wall art. :p

    To me, it looks long but acceptable... if you like it that long. The rest of the fit is perfect, and it's a great looking jacket!

    My new Aero Buco J-100

    Looks awesome, and fits like it was made for you! No more cheeseburgers though :eek: BTW - How do the J-100 fit and pattern differ from the Board Racer and the Cafe Racer? Thanks.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    "Does it add shine to the jacket? That's what I'd really want." Because the shoes and boots usually had layers of polish, and/or acrylic sealer, I always stripped them first with alcohol and/or acetone, which left the leather dried out. The dye, unfortunately, did not make them shiny again. I...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Good luck! What color are the jackets to start with? You might need two or three coats if you want deep deep black. One coat might give you a pleasing tea-core look though. You can achieve all kinds of effects if you experiment around. I've never dyed a whole jacket, but I've had fun with...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    THIS... is how a grizzly should be worn - relaxed, casual, like it's just a jacket, not a costume: This shirt is awesome! Where did you get it and what brand is it? It's got a 1960s space age and martini vibe. I want one!

    This is what your grizzly will look like when it grows up...

    ...so be careful how you treat it when it's little! I say we all chip in and buy one for Trenchfriend - to replace his 'rhombus-quilted, microfiber, transition coat' ;) https://www.toddsnyder.com/collections/outerwear-on-sale/products/long-shearling-coat-camel

    New Aero Leather Company A-1 Brown Leather Flight Jacket 48

    Is the trade going through successfully? If not, what kind of leather is it?

    On the fence- vintage Tauber’s Horsehide Pull-over…yes or no?

    God, I'd love to hear the stories that jacket could tell.

    Advice on lining needed

    If you're going to do a lot of travelling with this jacket, don't get a warm lining. It will make the jacket less versatile for wearing on airplanes, walking through airports, and using in more temperate climates. Think of your jacket as a shell, under which you can layer. With just a...

    Negative comments about your jackets from others

    Well, if you had a son with casehopper... :eek: ...he'd end up looking like this!

    Jason Momoa - I don't have a TV, never heard of the guy, so I googled him. He looks like a cross between casehopper and Monitor:

    I know what you mean - the first time I wore my horsehide jacket into a stable full of horses, was kinda .... umm.... awkward.

    Negative comments about your jackets from others

    Your girlfriend is too critical and controlling. You 'love her to bits'. Enjoys her, but don't marry her. Today it's your jackets... tomorrow it's your balls.

    First Post: Feedback on New Aero Board Racer Please

    One of the best looking jackets on this forum! If you are happy with the freedom of motion... I'd say you scored BIG, brother! :D Ditto about the wind flap. Is it something you could snip the threads and take off yourself, or is it buried in the zipper seam? If it's not easy to remove...

    Cleaning an Aero jacket

    Be careful with warming the Pecards, it's easy to get TOO MUCH on the leather. I ruined a Barbour waxed cotton jacket by doing that once. It's better to do two or more thin coats than one thick one.
