    Ordering from Aero vs Thruston

    I went through Thurston for my Board Racer but without the fit jacket process. I already had a stock Aero jacket purchased via Thurston and Carrie helped me use that jacket as the 'Fit Jacket', although the patterns were quite different (BR vs CR) Now that I have the experience and...

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

    I also loved the Vanson Commando in terms of comfort & Fit, but the leather(X150) didn't appeal to me much

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

    Completely agree. I have handled quite a lot of jackets but the Schott x Context 113 is easily the best I have. Aero doesn't come close in terms of comfort. If my preferred leather was available(CXL horsehide), I will always buy Schott, probably over any other maker

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

    You are welcome I have had the neck hanging issue with most of the Aero's I've handled. Not with my Board Racer though, probably my shoulder/neck setup is not made for Aero Or probably Aero's slimmed down 1930s patterns(I have never handled a 1950s Aero - Highwayman, Bootlegger, 1950s half...

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

    If you are medium, and okay with the color, highly recommend this Schott in Horween CXL horsehide. Patterns are arguably better than Aero, and this one is a limited edition...

    Aero Premier Highwayman 42 CXL FQHH

    Edit : Waist buckles are also brass I think Zippers (main and sleeves) are both antique brass(not sure between brass & antique brass, have only handled jackets with nickel zippers till now) But I am positive on above to the best of my understanding

    NWT Aero STF Bootlegger 42 Black CXL FQHH

    Well, I would say the fit is in between Aero’s typical 40-42 size for cafe racers This is a STF version of bootlegger, which originally is a 1950’s relaxed style. So it fits more like a size 38 normal bootlegger which in turn fits between a cafe racer size of 40 & 42(in terms of chest and...
