    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    Will quickly give my 2c on the issue, though don’t want to open a whole discussion as this has been done many times on the forum. I do not really care about the visual lines (though unlike your experience, this has been an exclusive aero issues and not in other cafe racers). However, all my...

    I initially said 1. HD 2. Schott D pocket 3. Golden Bear varsity. I think now I would say (not necessarily in order) 1. Burberry cross zip (bet nobody would have guessed that a fashion jacket could make my top 3) 2. The Flat Head Single Rider 3. RMC JH1 As a close fourt and fifth, I would...

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    I think both of you are right. In my opinion the aero CR silhouette is more flattering on me (really hugs the waist, while building up the upper body). However, the Johnson is much much more comfortable (as the Aero does have the neck hand issue)

    I do like the JH1, though I think ideally I would have gone for a 42 over a 40. The chest and the shoulders are currently on the smaller side

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Had some beer spilled on these CXL boots. The beer seems to have left some dark spots on the leather. Is there something I need to do to get this out or will this naturally even out with time?

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I have a new pair of John Lofgrens. Last night someone spilled a beer on them and now their are darkened spots in the leather. Is there a way to get rid of these or will these naturally fade / even out with time?

    I thought the Harley Davidson was my best fitting jacket, but now I think the Aero may actually take that spot

    The Burberry one is great- interesting leather, really unique design / hardware, stellar fit and great construction (particularly when compared to many fashion leather jackets). Was quite surprised that this came from Burberry

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    Thanks! I’ve gotten a lot better at just seeing a photo of a jacket and getting a rough idea of whether it will fit me or not. Every once in a while I try to push my luck, and those ones are usually the ones I have to sell on haha

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    Overall. I found the process of taking fit pics extremely useful. It taught me a few things: 1. The jackets which were my favourites may no longe rbe my favourites. I had only seen them up close in the mirror, so a fit pic from further away changes the perpsective 2. Photos in sunlight are...

    Defective leather jacket

    can't see what you're referring to, but leather is not a uniform product. The jacket does not look defective, embrace the differences
