Alexander Leathers Roadster Planning
Got to agree with Nick re. Steer vs Horsehide ...... Steer is a MUCH more forgiving hide and wears in / ages so much quicker and nicer than horse. Horween Horsehide is a tough old hide .... I much prefer the steer. Equally Alexanders used to do Mongolian Horse which was amazing ( I have an...- Plumbline

A2 leather hanging strip enquiry
I guess I buck the trend here and use mine all the time ( when you travel on planes you need a hanging strip otherwise it's difficult to hang something as heavy as a leather jacket ) ... never had one let go either ( although I don't use the ANJ-4 one as the jacket is seriously heavy and the...- Plumbline

Anyone got pics of an aero in cherry?
Having seen a number of the "Cherry" jackets I'd suggest it's more of mid red/brown/burgundy whereas the Cordovan is definately dark burgundy. I don't see the pink / purple in the cherry ( certainly not the one I had (Highwayman) ) and I actually really liked the colour. It was original but not...- Plumbline

alexander leathers jacket's fit
I find they are a little neater than my suit size ... I wear a 42S suit and a very neat fit would be a 42 Alexanders with 1" off the length and sleeve ...... I like things a little looser and generally have a 44 (short ) in an Alexanders "neat" fitting jacket e.g. Halfbelt, Detroit etc. but go...- Plumbline

Gotta love the Horween steerhide ........ I still think it shades the horse especially in break in and developed "character"! Great jacket ... very nice indeed and great fit ... wear it hard and wear it well :D- Plumbline

Website with good Aero leather option photos
equally don't always assume Chinese Fake = Bad .... I did an investigation about 4 years ago where the manufacturers container ( a plastic bottle) had taken 3 years to design and manufacture yet the Chinese forgers had managed to produce a higher spec and better manufactured bottle than the...- Plumbline

discounted CXL bison calling my name
I like goatskin ... My AN6552 is very nice seal brown Aero goatskin .... it has NONE of the character of the mighty Bison. This leather just gets better the more it's worn ( I have a Detroit in it) At that sort of discount it's a great buy .... but it is SERIOUSLY grainy and wears with...- Plumbline

New Aero Board Track Racing shirt in tumbled cordovan
Perhps not 1950's then ... perhaps 1960's. Never had a traditional Cafe Racer with a windflap .... had plenty of bike jackets with front zippers with windflaps but the cafe racer was a minimalist jacket my 2 x 1950's original jackets didn't even have gussets or flaps on the sleeve zips...- Plumbline

New Aero Board Track Racing shirt in tumbled cordovan
Hey Seb .. i'm not sure it's a J-100 replica ... there are so many differences compared to the J-100 ( If Ken & Co had wanted to make a J-100 replica ... it would no doubt be a REALLY GOOD J-100 replica) I think it's more of an interpretation of an early cafe racer style jacket .... and a...- Plumbline

Ideal Character / Grain
Craig, I think some already try to do his as much as possible by .... 1. Not disclosing sources of hide 2. Asking tanneries for exclusivity on particular hides / colours 3. Working with tanneries to develop "exclusive" hides seems like sensible business practice if you ask me ...- Plumbline

Ideal Character / Grain
I think it depends on the jacket and the look. I personally prefer a smooth finish on a cafe racer ... the minimal style and look of the cafe racer I think lend itself to FQHH ( just MHO) The mid grain type hide is probably best suited to most jackets ... and will age really nicely. The...- Plumbline

Flat Head Riders Jacket
More 1930's halfbelt if you ask me ..... the sheen has a cafe racer back, the highwayman has a more boxy cut. I guess I'm just not one for short jackets which look too small ( sleeve and back/body length) to me :D Well made though with some nice features .... pockets are quite far back...- Plumbline
