    Filson Leather Cruiser - Who will be the first?

    For $59.00 I'd snap that thing up like nobody's business......

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Wool socks from either "Fits" or "Filson." The Fits are quite durable and have plenty of padding where it is actually needed. The Filson socks are a much longer length in the shaft.

    9mm or 45cal

    My Hi-Power is one of the few produced in .40 S&W. Other than having a recoil spring so heavy that it makes racking the slide something akin to cocking a crossbow, it is probably my favorite .40 cal. handgun. Sometimes I'll take it to the range during qualifications just for grins, and the...

    9mm or 45cal

    ^^^Anyone looking for a new and genuine Browning Hi-Power should be aware that Browning has just recently announced they have discontinued manufacture of this classic arm. The new-in-box examples won't be available much longer.

    Please share thoughts: button versus zipper jacket?

    That is what keeps me from ordering a jacket with buttons: I fear they would not survive the breaking-in process well. The A-1 in a buttoned version does look incredibly tempting, though. Really tempting.

    Fedora Lounge Motorcyclists: Safe Gear with a Vintage Vibe

    My Kanetsu vest works well in frigid weather. My Gerbing heated jacket and gloves works even better, but I just don't like the whole wire-up-and-plug-in thing if it can be avoided. But at some point I'll pay big money to have insta-warmth available, usually when the temps hit the 20s°F This...

    Fedora Lounge Motorcyclists: Safe Gear with a Vintage Vibe

    For any of you guys looking for warmth while riding, Patagonia produces the "Nano Puff," a very compressible high-techie synthetic jacket. It can easily be worn under any of my close-fitting jackets and adds a tremendous amount of warmth. It will expand to fill the voids between the wearer and...

    A word to men who wear high boots

    ^^^ I believe Bruce Wayne wasn't in the least confused, but was simply adding to this thread that he is one of the age-specified (by you) group, who actually is familiar with the term. Hopefully, none of these English words will cause folks confusion.

    Why are people often saying, that denim-jackets have to be worn open??

    In Oklahoma, at least, keeping the bottom of a jacket fastened can be a survival technique: the winds, on a good day, can beat a guy up pretty good by flailing him with an unfastened jacket.

    Looking at a couple possibilities...need some feedback (jacket).

    Scott, I see nothing wrong with getting any jacket in the natural. Everyone around here always goes gaa-gaa over jackets featuring a developed "patina," and the natural develops just that. Of course it will look a bit soiled, but that is to say....lived in and broken in. At one time you were...

    My new US Authentic HH A2

    My opinion is that Hammer-K's jacket fits okay, especially so if he ever plans to wear something like a sweater underneath it. The sleeve length is fine, as I don't mind a bit of tunneling. It sure beats having the end of the leather somewhere on one's forearm while relying on the three inches...

    Help Identifying This Vanson Jacket

    I believe the jacket is a Sport Rider. It just has custom-cut panels which make the unique design. The "solar" is indeed a see-me-in-the-dark leather, which must first spend a lot of time in bright sunlight in order to work. My fully perforated Sport Rider jackets are some of my favorites for...

    What armor do you use for riding in Vanson Model B

    I wear a Model B frequently as a great riding jacket.....no armor. I get enough of that kind of stuff the rest of the time. Besides, I've seen the aftermath of enough motorcycle incidents that I personally question the effectiveness of much armor when involved in a direct impact with stationary...

    Break in at Aero

    Having seen many, many business burglaries, most are committed by a few punks who steal a vehicle, use it to haul off whatever loot they get, and attempt to sell everything fast, which usually means cheap. There is a very real possibility they had no idea of the real value of the items stolen...

    Break in at Aero

    These jackets could be unloaded in a relatively short period of time, and with no connection to the interwebs. True value of the merchandise has little to do with it. Folks on the street will give $25.00 for a leather jacket. So will that guy sporting the hipster vibe in the coffee shop. Folk...

    Dehen 1920 biker sweaters. Club zip.

    An interesting comment, especially when compared to the view of so many around here, those who state that a heavy, leather, cafe racer is not a "real" riding jacket. I would love to have one of the Dehens to sport around in!

    Vanson Trucker leather jacket

    You did very well here, Monitor. I would love to have a jacket such as this.
