    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I hav e the exact same one, but mine doesn’t feel like horween, it’s a lot softer and like calfskin, has a top coating feel to it.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    To add, the circular cuff (Aero) actually has six layers at the two sleeve seams, and it’s circular, very hard to maneuver

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Please don’t take it the wrong way but I’d like to offer some defense for Aero here :) the cuff top stitch that Aero is showing is a very different seam. It has four layers of leather plus lining, the cuff (sleeve extension type) has three and no lining. Also when it’s put together, it’s laid...

    Ton, Ton you mean the slant chest pocket? it certain needs to move down a bit, i agree, sometimes this type of visual detail can only be apparent after you made the jacket...then, shoot! a long process. but duly noted!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I need to get a skiver, some seams was getting way too bulky. The waistband is a bit short but it’s what I had on hand. I liked the pattern, next one will be using better leather!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Finishing off a civilian flight jacket. 4oz Italian cowhide (motorcycle leather), very soft, horween Dublin. Feel like a Gibson Barnes A2.

    Freewheelers leather jackets

    What’s the process of buying a jacket from them? Their website seems to be a virtual showroom and blog only.

    FS SOLD Goodwear Leather Aero 18775 size 44

    I think he is allowed to use the Aero name now. I had two in recent years both with the Aero name. But a beautiful piece for sure! Good luck!

    Greatest cross zip photo (and jacket) of all time. GCZOAT...well

    Cross zip nation

    I need to seek my wife's permission to post a cross zip I made for her, it's obviously a man's pattern adjusted to her torso shape/length, and had some slight mismatch of lapel panels (next time this error will be corrected), and the leather is not very good (the thin version of the Schott HH)...

    Cross zip nation

    to me the elongated collar, downward lapel and the two sunburst box pleats at the waist is most attractive.

    Cross zip nation

    I am eager to reproduce one of the cross zip. it'd be my next pattern development project, currently finishing off a civilian flight jacket.

    Cross zip nation

    the side belts and buckles are TINY! the width of the belt is 3/4 instead of the usual 1". What I really like and sorely miss, is those Triangular belts. The rear belts (sticking out from the halfbelt) start as a triangle and taper into whatever. I used to have a Campus long half belt, I traded...

    Cross zip nation

    Will post a shot in the Jacket Today thread later. I like this one very much, very substantial horsehide. I believe it was quite pebble-ish when new, almost feel like some of today's Pakistan/Indian cowhide (such as that used by Magnolia on the T2, or what Bates uses today). In fact, not even...

    Yes right? Very subtle. Another typical characteristic of old jackets is that the pockets are quite shallow, it’s either for tiny hands or ran out of room for a deeper pocket bag

    Cross zip nation

    This great thread has thus far been pushed to six feet under. Here’s a new score, well, shelled out a lot of money but I think the leather condition is exceptional for its age. Front zip replaced obviously and shoddy lining job but it’s a very beefy jacket and fits me! This is the kind of double...

    Spongy Haptic on a Leather Jacket means what?

    The spongy feel could be the breed/diet/sex/health of the animal, and tanning process as well as coating. Eastman’s older horsehide gets very spongy after broken in, but at first it was plasticky and stiff. But other hide like CXl never seem to get spongy, many after fifty years. Not an...
