    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    @wlsn thank you -- Cordovan is one of those unique, odd colors that I love and sometimes do not fully enjoy, all at the same time. On this jacket it's been wonderful.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Snowstorm coming tonight and for a few days. May get interesting for a while here and help out the drab background. Good time to put some hours on the Aero Ridley, trying to break this Cordovan Steerhide in a bit.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Locally-sourced Brooks Leather with Triumph Motorcycle pins. I like the details on this simple, lightweight jacket, but I like the fit even better. The arms are actually long enough! Now it's off to the washing machine with on "delicate" with some free & clear detergent, to see if we can...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I owned on of these in 2001 - 2003; only difference was no center zip in the middle of the back. Bought it new, sold to help fund graduate school. Very good, heavy jacket. If it were not for the 24.5" sleeves and 22" pit to pit, I would have purchased this by now.

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    A few years back, I owned this oddly heavy Aero Bootlegger, that was somewhere between 9.5 - 10.5 lbs. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-oddly-heavy-cordovan-bootlegger-size-44.103053/ Here's the first time I sold it, better photos on this thread...

    Buying 618H Horse Size 46

    So I have never had one, but some in-person stores here in the US may still have this model new on their racks at a lower price. I recalled a place in Chicago where I tried on this and the straight-zip 689H last summer, and I believe they were still ~ $850 or so. Might check around for some...

    One Leather Jacket to keep rest of your life?

    To be honest, of my current fleet of only 4 jackets - either of the two Langlitz Columbia's would take the cake. The one still in the Queue for production, later in 2024 will hopefully be that 5-10-15 year jacket. To wear one is to understand it in my view. I do have an Indian Ranger by Aero...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Looks fantastic! I also dig this combination and do something similar (but with more Australian style hats personally.) I have a couple hats, but nothing like the revolving door of jackets I have been blessed to try out.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    @Aloysius -- Yes, it's long gone now, and it didn't cost all that much. It was a "fitting" jacket for someone who basically "dumped" his order after it was made. The fellow was apparently ~ 6' 9" tall or so. And for that size of person it would work. For me....no go. Impulse buy. Not...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Nate's make a good bomber-style jacket that is nearly indestructible. The one you listed here appears to be a one-owner with very little wear, so anyone looking for a WARM leather jacket that can take a lot, this is worth consideration. I visited their shop a while back, it's now out in the...

    @Aloysis - Good point on the location. Used is likely not an option for him.

    Advice on Budget Leather Jacket

    I may be the odd man out here, but I started this journey buying primarily pre-loved jackets. I still prefer them today. Once in a while I'll go for a new/custom/MTO but overall, I just enjoy the hunt and buy/sell via ebay & FL Classifieds. It's just a lot more fun and many very good/great...

    Langlitz Leather Columbia Jacket 70s

    JMax is right - just ask first about odor and possible stains. I had to sell one off due to a heavy smoke odor which I do not care for at all. Leather looks great on this one and these jackets - when broken in as this one is, are Comfortable to wear. Just also be aware that many of the...
