    Got blocked by Simmons Bilt Instagram because my comment

    I've got a pair of the Iron Heart 1955 21/23 oz jeans too @l0fielectronic. I've had them for four years, and they're starting to show signs of blowing out in the crotch. Admittedly, they don't get as much wear these days as Melbourne is often too warm. As for distribution, I believe that the...

    Looking for ideas/advice for a new jacket

    I saw these at The Bike Shed show a couple of years ago. I can't remember who did which, but I think that they were done by Ornamental Conifer and Dry British. One of those two also does the painting on the Commes des Garcons jackets.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    It is, but I think that if it lost a couple of the stripes, and maybe the back gusset, it'd be better. I feel as though it's doing a bit too much.

    I saw that Aero Leathers Board Racer earlier, and it's a cool jacket. Here's a shot of its back. There are more shots and details on Instagram, but it's made from the blackened brown Vicenza, with a few custom tweaks.

    Wabash 'pinstripe' jeans

    If you're looking for a UK based supplier, I'd get in touch with Dawson Denim. They've just got some Wabash fabric back in stock, and I'm sure that they'd make you a pair of jeans out of it if you asked. The company is basically Scott and Kelly, and they have done custom work for people before...

    What armor do you use for riding in Vanson Model B

    The thinnest armour that I've seen is Rev'it Seesmart. It's a lot softer than D3O, and is supplied in their latest retro jackets. I really like the Knox Microlock armour. It's similar to D3O, but offers CE Level 2 (i.e. better) protection, and is both thinner and softer.

    Zombie Apocalypse : What would you wear?

    @ProteinNerd Max Rockatansky didn't have to deal with Zombies. This get-up is more useful for that scenario...

    East/West Musical Instruments Company

    A couple of East West jackets that I saw on eBay. I think that the top one might be a replica.

    Leather Cafe Racer Jacket.

    Giles from Iron Heart UK wearing a café racer with collar at 59. I think that as others have said, if you've got the figure for it, you can carry it off at any age.

    Aero's black suede was a Bavarian deerskin. It had originally been intended for a collaboration with Iron Heart, but ended up being used for a few jackets when the relationship between the companies ended. It's a really nice, albeit horrendously expensive, leather. There's a little tannery in...

    Show your natural leather

    Denham offered the Danilo leather jacket in 2013. It's made from a vegetable tanned leather, but it looks like it's got a bit more colour than the other pieces in this thread, so it might have been dyed. I've never seen a worn-in example, in fact there's precious little information on the...

    Show your natural leather

    This is a vintage jacket, but the leather doesn't seem to have darkened in the same way as the above.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I'm in the same place with Good Wear. The only good thing about the delay is that I've gone up a chest size since then (gym is paying off), so I won't have to worry about my jacket no longer fitting me.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    @Sonero I missed your original post, so sorry for the late reply. I'd suggest following the suggestion made by @l0fielectronic, and visit the Iron Heart forum. People there will help you, but ultimately you have three choices: Since sizes vary between (and sometimes within) brands, you're...

    Thedi is killing it lately

    Thedi were involved with a range of jackets that Rokker put out last year which had armour pockets.

    Himel Bros Kensington

    First, congratulations on the weight loss. 15 kg is a significant drop, and I know how hard it can be to lose it. As for the jacket, it's lovely and fits very well. The contrast stitching looks great, and it's very, very neat. The Shinki horsehide is fantastic, is it teacore or dyed through...

    New Good Wear Cossack pattern

    John has just listed a Cossack jacket on his sales page. It's already been sold, unfortunately not to me. It's off a Security Aviation Togs pattern from 1932. Unusually for a Good Wear, it's unlined. I like it a lot. Were I to get one, I'd ask for the patch pockets to be replaced by...

    STF Aero Bootlegger Loadsa Pics (inc's new sneak preview of new designs and a mug!)

    I first saw it on my phone, and thought that it was a section of a 1970s carpet. :o Sorry! I like the Ken repro more than the Earhart jacket, but I think that I'd get the pockets swapped for handwarmers. I'd like to see how the collar looks in more detail, though.

    @Sloan1874 a bunch of your image links are broken. I'm getting a 403 forbidden HTTP error. The problematic images are the first and the last eight of the Bootlegger, and the two images above Amelia Earhart. Your new jacket looks good, but I'm not sure about the carpet. :p
