    FS: Aero Leather Ridley jacket with factory customizations. Size 40

    Was this tumbled Chromexcel? Or just regular horsehide that had been tumbled? Thanks!

    Thurston bro's custom aero Ridley w/ full action back, fit check!

    So is the tumbled FQHH actually Chromexcel? I'm seeing a leather listed on Aero's website as "Brown Front Quarter Vintage Tumbled Chromexcel Horsehide", and am wondering if it's the brown version of this. I really dig your jacket, so am now considering this leather for my Aero.

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    Haha, I hear you. But won't committing to a jacket force me to stay in better shape as I age? That said, I do own a waxed canvas jacket (the same color and style that Bond wears in "No Time to Die") that I picked up from eBay for less than a hundred bucks, plus an unlined Schott/Restoration...

    You make very interesting points, so thanks for taking the time to type it all out. My plan was to wear this jacket pretty much constantly with just a t-shirt and jeans, to the point where it becomes like a second skin.

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    You make a very good point. I'm still using the same belt to keep my pants up that I used in high school.

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    I searched the Lost Worlds website tonight after reading your reply, so thank you for the tip. I'm afraid their jackets just look boxy and uncomfortable, though, and I can't really say that I'm a fan of their styles. They definitely look good for biking, though.

    That's very interesting. I didn't know that about CXL. I do like goatskin, though, and will definitely be asking Thurston for a sample of it.

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    Thank you so much, and I definitely appreciate the picture. Badalassi is only cowhide, yes? The fact that I see horse as a more majestic animal has me leaning toward Vicenza, though I do think that the Badalassi looks better. If both are durable, though, I suppose I can't go wrong. Another...

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I can't find the thread. Besides, I get a certain satisfaction from ruffling the feathers of those who would say, "THIS QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ASKED X NUMBER OF TIMES, IDIOT!" That question is this: I'm on the verge of purchasing a new...

    In fact, unless you're desperately in need of the money, raise the price back up to what it was. To hell with everyone who this jacket fits and yet is too cheap to buy it.

    Simmons Bilt Shinki Horsehide Cafe Racer - 42 (M)

    They seem like a super chill brand, plus their designs are gorgeous. And regardless of what everyone says, the designs are very different from Aero. Take "The Aeromarine" vs. "The Simmons Bilt", for example. Front to back, up and down, the Simmons Bilt is far more stylish. Do I wish that it was...

    Very cool jacket. I plan to go with Simmons on my next custom jacket.

    Aero slimfit motorcycle jacket aka Ridley

    Or is that just light reflecting off of the jacket and giving the leather a green sheen?

    What's up with the green discoloration? It looks kind of like mold.
