    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    Received my Black2 straight yesterday. Fits well, looks good, stitches, buttons, etc. seem to be in good order. Very basic, nothing fancy, at this price point probably as good as it gets. I like the material feel, thickness, etc., as well as the color. I hover between 32-33 in waist size...

    Thanks guys! Very happy with it so far, haven't gone riding yet, too many long hours at work, looking forward to take it out soon. Bunyip, I'm 5'10" height, around 178-180 lbs weight, and this jacket is size Medium. It's the one with plain black lining. I was initially looking for a red...

    My Vanson Chopper (size Medium) I ordered from Insurrection Apparel arrived yesterday, along with the Knox Venture armored shirt (size Large) to wear underneath. I spoke with Wade during the ordering process - nice, friendly, long conversation going through size, styles, comparisons with other...

    Best A-2 for up to $600

    No, didn't try 38 Long, the size 40s seem to fit me best so stuck with them, size 42s were too loose and baggy all around - was short on time so didn't get around to browse much & try on too many other styles. They didn't have my size & style in the store and said they'd bring it in from their...

    My G-1 Lineup (Others Invited)

    This looks to be the same as the goatskin G1 I tried on at the NYC Cockpit store earlier today. I had gone to pick up my horsehide A2 (their "WW2 govt issue") and even though was in a rush, decided to quickly try on a few jackets lying around that were my size. This was one, their "US Navy issue...

    Favorite Motorcycle Riding Jackets In Your Collection

    Some badass motorcycle jackets you guys are posting. I'm a returning rider since early last year, after being away for 15-odd years,. I have a bunch of new motorcycle jackets, but no top-level leather jacket that has been broken in yet. Wore my Schott 141 for a bit, as well as a Japanese brand...

    Best A-2 for up to $600

    I'm in the same place as the op - looking to start on the flight jacket journey with a good quality entry-level A2 or G1. I find myself in-between sizes a lot, hovering between a 40 and 42 or M and L, depending on brand, so oftentimes buying online/ebay can be frustrating as the fit/look doesn't...

    Hey Carrie, I hover between a 40 and 42, I'm guessing Medium. Any chance for red-quilt-liner Vanson Chopper in that size in the near future? If not, does it have to be a one-off/special order? How long does such orders take? Perhaps I'll just contact you in person. Thanks and looking forward to...

    Carrie, a question about Vanson Chopper - is the inside liner a plain cotton one or is it quilted with diamond cross-stitching? The current lot with black liner looks different from previous pics with red liner which looks to be quilted. Also, any Choppers with red liner still available...

    My Pegasus Luftwaffe

    That looks so good!!! Just this morning I was wasting work time going through the Pegasus web site & this forum, admiring the Luftwaffe jackets. Is it in black or brown? Choice for next leather jacket just got longer - Pegasus Luftwaffe, Thedi Cafe Racer, Aero 30s 1/2-belt, Vanson House ...

    Highwayman Finally Starting to Look Good

    Hi Xenophon, that red cafe racer jacket looks great! I'm actually writing to say that I'm in the same boat as you - in my case I'm part-time in the US and part-time in South Asia (Eastern Himalayas), back & forth every few months, with some time in-between in Southeast Asia as well. And like you...

    Hi Carrie, I do something similar right now with my non-armored jackets - wear a Bohn armor shirt underneath my non-armored jackets when hitting the highways. It's fine most times, although wearing it under my new heavy HH jacket is quite restrictive (do have to break down the jacket more too)...

    Hi Carrie, thanks so much for the detailed reply, answers all my questions. Glad I asked about fit comparison between Schott CAF1 and these as I was assuming fit would be similar, good to know the difference. I really really want one in this style and these look as good as it gets. Will mull...
