    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    Johnnynotoes.. you're saying you still haven't received your Dec 9th order? Wait times back then were said to be only 8 weeks. I wonder if I'll actually get mine in the 8-12 I was told. Oh, and welcome to the forum! I'm new here myself. Tommer

    My LW Buco J23

    Hey John I just wanted to add (just so people are aware) that when Stuart sent me a jacket to try on for proper fit, he also charged my card the full price of the jacket plus shipping. I was a bit suprised when I opened the box and saw the receipt of payment in there for the full price! So if...

    So, what shows are you addicted to?

    Magnum, pi and Northern Exposure are watched repeatedly in my house. I've been through both sets of complete seasons numerous times and my 2 year old daughter actually asks for "the moose show" every now and then (which she gets from the moose in the opening credits of Northern Exp.). Life...

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    The red spot is nothin' special.. just a cool looking AMA pin that came with my membership. My brother has no idea what it is so I tell him it's my secret society pin and that I shouldn't be talking about it. Tommer

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    I've handled a few Vanson jackets and I agree that they are superbly made. Since I've never owned one though, my vote goes to Langlitz for the best motorcycle jackets available. Custom made to your sizes & specs. Here's my cafe race (their Cascade model). By far the most comfortable and best...

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    Figured I'd add this as well.. it's Schott's own words on the felt that is fused to the horsehide. Even after reading it several times I'm still not sure I totally understand what they're getting at. In regards to your question on the material that is in your horsehide jacket. This is a...

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    Hey pjstrass.. I suspected that the Legendary jackets by Schott also had the felt "fuseable" as Gail referred to it. I'm kinda bummed that they do.. I love the Black Stallion and now I know that if I do buy one I'd have to rip out the lining, tear out the felt and get it relined if I wanted to...

    When is horsehide broken-in?

    I've noticed over the years that when I'm wearing a new jacket that is stiff and not broken in, every time I slip it on to go out I'll think to myself how it still feels stiff.. a few more months of wear should do it, etc. And then one day I realize that I've been wearing the jacket without...

    Leatherheads - The Movie

    Hey all, new guy here. Sorry to revive an old thread but I just wanted to throw out my two cents on the picture. I did stunts on the film for 5 weeks in the Carolinas and it was the most fun experience I've had working on a film. George was not only the lead but also the director (as I'm sure...

    The fit of the Aero Highwayman

    On my recent Aero order I took measurements (by myself) of: -Chest inhaled/exhaled -Shoulders -Sleeve -Navel -Waist -Also mentioned my suit jacket and pant waist size to help out. By those numbers and the fit I asked for Mark recommended the size he felt would fit best. I guess I'll...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I'm also awaiting an Aero.. a Long Half Belt. Ordered it back in mid February. I was originally quoted 8 weeks, and last time I talked to Mark right around 7 weeks he mentioned I was looking at another 4 weeks or so. So they've certainly gotten busier since Feb. Their listings on eBay used to...

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    I've got one Langlitz Cascade in medium weight cow and another in heavy cow. Both are awesome, and after a few coats of leather dressing over the past year and a half the medium weight nearly outweighs the heavy one. Tommer Heavy cowhide... Medium-weight cowhide with a straight...

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    Thought I might add this too.. I recently cut out the lining of my Schott 641HH cafe racer to get it relined with a lighter, non-quilted lining (for summertime use), and I found there to be a thick white felt fused to the horsehide. After contacting Gail at Schott I've learned that it adds body...

    Horsehide mcycle jackets

    Hey PJ.. I can't help you out with all the brands you listed, but I do own Schott and Lost Worlds horsehide jackets. While the Schott is a quality jacket I don't think the horsehide is comparable to that of LW. The LW horse is just awesome. My LW is 4+ oz HH and in my opinion it's a little...
