    Hiding stitching (needle) holes in leather - can it be done?

    I'm thinking any attempt to cover holes would look like a weak attempt to cover the holes and would look far worst than left as is. Patches, removed patches, scuffs and scratches are part of the jacket's history and patina. Leave as is or send it down the road.

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    Buying expensive leathers and focusing on the most minor of imperfections is a very costly way to cope with an OCD condition. I will look for this jacket in the classifieds

    Looking for a new Cafe Racer, what am I missing?

    I took a rode trip through California which included time in the big metro areas of LA and SF. I was a bit unnerved and surprised by the motorcycle activity known as splitting lanes. I guess it is legal but also believe it is a very precarious practice by bikers. I do not ride because I believe...

    Aero Jackets Weak/Fragile Zippers

    I agree about the heavier zips. Most of my outer work wear has #10YKK on coats, jackets and bib overalls. They have been bulletproof. I have some too, with the polymer zips and they also have been flawless. My JL café jacket has a #10ykk. Smooth and easy to work. Off topic but I prefer the snap...

    Round engines not withstanding, my favorite video is a spitfire buzzing a news reporter, in a field.

    Now on Facebook - Project: Mustang, LLC

    The p-51s are very cool. I prefer the sound of the round engines. The F4-U Corsair is my favorite. My antique favorite would be the Staggerwing Beech. Like flying a Cadillac. TXFlyGuy, great project you have going. The best to you.

    Jacket guys/gals, what briefcase do you carry? Do you match or change bags?

    I'm with Big J on this. On the job my bag is made by Carhartt. I have a ditty bag and don't know what is ditty.

    Unlined leather jackets....info request

    I have a custom shirt of moosehide made for me by a Athabaskan woman, from a small village. This shirt is beautiful and fits like a second skin. It is unlined and I've worn it a few times over the 30 years I've had it. For me lining is a must. Remote possibly that an unlined vest might work but...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Well stated with all the necessary legal qualifications. Even though the entirety of these 119 pages of this thread is focused on AL, the example given does not necessarily apply to AL:). When does the verdict come down and will this terminate the production of AL?

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    HPA, I agree with your last paragraph. My A2 fits well in the shoulders but is a tad long for my frame. I just wear it the way it is.

    Quick help! OTR leather jacket in San Francisco

    I run against the current here. I have a JL N-200 and have never cycled the chest zip much less used it. I have zipper hand warmer pockets which I use for commonly carried items keys, phone etc. Were I to get another I would forgo the chest pocket(s). I do not ride and rarely zip my leather...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Alligator is a bit much for my tastes. I did see a quality jacket in black alligator. Talk about a bold look. I couldn't pull that look off, with that jacket, on Halloween.

    Monitor's Aero FQHH Cafe Racer

    This thread exemplifies the problem with asking an opinion on the internet. Everyone qualified or not has an opinion. Now what I see is the OP is discounting the opinion that should weight the most and that is his own opinion. You will never be happy wearing any jacket when you think everyone is...

    Hillside USA Horsehide Samples

    I have two Hillside products 1) basic horside vest: the hide is very uniform throughout and is very well constructed 2) a jean jacket in their naked cowhide. This jacket is substantial and also well constructed. Though not in the fashion arena of say Aero. Hillside products offer good bang for...
