    Types of leather finishings. RC Ponyboy

    +1 You'll just get yourself confused, TBH. There are also a lot of threads already on these sorts of things, just do a search and you'll find plenty to read. Welcome and photos are always welcome.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Not sure if this is a "Find" a "Deal" or a "Yikes - how did that wind up in my closet??!" :) https://www.ebay.com/itm/175499076112?

    JOHNSON LEATHERS IN SAN FRANCISO STATUS?

    Yep, I've called them a few times in the past year. Like Langlitz - they vastly prefer to work over the phone.

    Aero Hooch Hauler - Brown CXL FQHH - 2 month review

    Excellent, very detailed writeup here TartuWolf! I would agree - instead of asking "What's next -" I hope you wear this one and enjoy it. Don't worry about another jacket for several years. It's what "normal" people do. :) For me, this part is kicking me with regard to the remaining Aero...

    Can somebody help educate me on leather thickness and cold weather suggestions?

    Help! Getting rid of smells on leather

    The simplest way to deal with this jacket is to move it along. Be honest with the description. And yes to "washing" but "no" to "drying" a jacket in a dryer. Leather will shrink when exposed to heat. Just let it air dry. But be aware if you wash it with a standard detergent, such as Tide, it...

    Leather smell changes

    I have never noticed this trait with any jacket made of Horween CXL - Steerhide or Horsehide.

    Vanson Jacket Weight Question

    100% Agree with both replies above. Nice jacket by the way. "Show your Langlitz!" - you are very fortunate to be in their neighborhood. I prefer their Columbia to nearly everything else at this point. One that is made-to-measure for me should be incoming early next year.

    Where can I find this leather Flison vest?

    Ha. Interesting. Like something for a stage-hand to give to an actor. Johnson Leathers would be a good bet if you call them during business hours. They are very good at taking on the odd one-off type projects. Maybe they'll make it a standard offering. They are a whole lot more capable...

    Your request here reminded me that I made a thread about this jacket a while back. What I didn't remember was that was in 2017 and I am now 6 years older! :) Here's the thread...I don't think anyone here every acquired one of these at least from that timeframe...

    Aero leather help

    If you want to see CXL Steerhide that creased up, give this jacket a look. I owned it for ~ 4years from new, only sold it along as the '30's half-belt pattern wasn't my favorite. The Bootlegger is built off the 50's half belt pattern, so rather similar...

    Vanson Model E W/Belt - "44"

    That is what is so strange here. Earlier this year I had a little older "E" that was stated "46" and only actually a 24" pit to pit, but it fit significantly large on me, more like a size 48 or so. It also had 20" shoulders instead of 18" so, I guess that's part of it. Here is the quite...
