    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    ^Lovely jacket, Dan! Can't even begin to imagine how wonderfully soft that steerhide must be after 20 years... Still a great score, that one. Your jacket is worthy of a hijack! And thank you ALL! I am smitten with all of my jackets, but it just plain sucks I'm not wearing them as much as I'd...

    How's the fit on my Aero racer?

    I'd wear the jeans a little higher and tuck in the shirt. If you want the modern, low-rise untucked look, get a longer jacket.

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    Thanks JJ, remember that all that matters is you feel good in a jacket! I got my standard size 40 Comet through Thurston, as it makes for a shorter wait time than going through Vanson. It measures 24" in the back, Vanson lengthened the Conet by 1" last year. I'm 5'8" and wear mid to high-rise...

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    Here are the pics I promised: Haven't been hitting the gym as much as I'd like to the past 2 years so the jacket doesn't fit me as snug as it used to, but I still like to think it fits me like a charm. Here are updates of my other jackets, while I'm at it! Vanson Comet in dark brown...

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    Hallo, Harris! Alles gaat prima, en met jou? Especially for a longer jacket I'd recommend the 3oz FQHH over the 4-4.5oz steerhide; IMO 3oz, perhaps 3.5oz is plenty thick and tough for a leather jacket. It's the perfect combination between motorcycle heft and ease of wear. 4-4.5oz is just too...

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    Thanks for the comments, guys. When I ordered this jacket, I requested Aero's heaviest steerhide-- I'm not sure how much heavier this is than their "regular heavy" steerhide but I reckon it can't be that much thicker, it feels about as thick as the sample I got. Thing about the steerhide is...

    Thanks Zoran (and to all of the above that I forgot to thank over a year ago). I'll try to upload some new pics soon.

    I LOVE MINE. Thankfully, Red Wing Amsterdam recently started offering them for only 400 euros. Of course I immediately jumped on the next train out to secure my pair. I suggest you get these. Sizing is a tad large though-- I wear US7.5 in Road Champs, US8 in Lofgrens, US7.5D in Wesco's and...

    Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

    I am totally feeling you, Ralph Chen. I'd say I already got my dream jacket(s). I've owned my standard Vanson Comet in a very soft, dark brown steerhide for a little over a year now and it is breaking in very nicely. Definitely a keeper. I have yet to put up a proper fit pic on here, but I will...
