    "Pop in" at Aero, pic of 40 yo MC jacket

    You took your kids to Scotland, from Germany, to get custom fitted for lifetime jackets? What a great Dad! I wanna be your kid! And, welcome to the forum! I hope we get to see some pics of those jackets, and your jackets.

    Cleaning an Aero jacket

    That's exactly what I did after four years of heavy use. I was surprised how little dirt there was to come off - scrub as I might, the sponge and mildly soapy warm water stayed visually clean. I was surprised. But then again, I don't ride a bike. The Pecards made the leather feel wonderful...

    New Aero Jean Jacket 557XX Type III

    I've never dyed a jacket, but I have dyed plenty of boots and shoes. I had (and still have) no idea of what I'm doing, but, in every instance, I liked the finished product IMMENSELY more than the one I started with. I always removed polish and/or sealant with acetone, first, though. Never...

    Expensive Repros: From "Gem" to "Jacket"

    I bet most of us went down that same road, I know I did. I tried to keep up that new look with little dabs of shoe polish here and there, but finally gave up and let the jacket record the life I was living in it. And, like you, I love it all the more for it. If I could snap my fingers and...

    My Fidelity Cafe Racer: quality and fit wth photos

    This jacket has quilted insulation, it will never be able to look as tight fitting as a jacket with a simple thin liner. Here's an idea - keep this one for cold weather wear, the sleeves will accommodate a sweater or hoodie, and get another jacket, without padded insulation in the sleeves, to...

    You don't have to pay him until you have your sweater and are happy with it. Pretty unusual nowadays, isn't it? peter@souwestchunkies.com

    Sou'west Chunkies Sweaters

    Sounds like the perfect complement to your Cordovan Board Racer! Or any jacket, for that matter. Or all by itself! Did he say how long it would take?

    Help me identify this explorer's coat...

    Don't know if this is something you might be interested in. I'ts an unlined, raw-edged peacoat with a welted chest pocket, and leather collar tab. Definitely more unfinished and rugged than what you usually see: LINK...

    Horween CXL Steerhide jacket after ~3months

    Starting to look like a jacket that has done a fair amount of comforting and protecting you. Just looking at the thickness of that collar makes me think: 1. That jacket is invincible, and, 2. That jacket is heavy! Just remember... That which does not kill you, will make you stronger...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    WOW! That jacket... with that fit... on you... is going to turn heads and make people take a second look. It did me. I can't imagine that you will ever be able to find a more flattering jacket. Be on guard though, you're going to be attracting attention from the wrong kind of women!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Great looking jacket casehopper! And there's those pants again! Is the jacket the one with fleece lining, or is the wool lined one?

    You should live the rest of your life in that jacket!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think I have to go against what everyone else is saying here, Atticus. The jacket looks jarringly out of place on you, especially with everything else you are wearing. Kinda the same effect as if you were sporting a new 19 year old girlfriend. The only way you should wear a jacket like...

    Sou'west Chunkies Sweaters

    You would have to ask him. They only have two basic styles on their ancient and decrepit website, the Chunkie and the Gansey (guernsey), but they can do other things - kinda like Johnson Leather's website.
