    Daniel Craig in his Highwayman. Perhaps we should compare thoughts on this photo? The Daily Mail: Daniel Craig appears to have put on weight around his midriff as he strolls in London The Fedora Lounge: Cool jacket, that's developing some nice patina

    Are you going to tell him that? :D

    Be honest. What kind of jacket would you want to choose for going on a trip?

    I think that the most versatile jacket would be a Ventile piece. The Cabourn Cameraman Fishtail would work better in town than a Gore-Tex shell, but be suitable for light fell-walking. It'll be lighter than a waxed jacket, if you need to carry it, and has a couple of big, zipped cargo pockets...

    I like this one.

    Hey Butte - they're back in stock...

    I like the Joe McCoy Welder's Jacket better, but I don't think that it comes in Butte-friendly size.

    Worth going to Aero leather in Scotland to get jacket made/otr?

    @Sharpe you could always visit Pickings and Parry in Melbourne for your Aero needs. :) The factory is worth a trip. There's a train from Edinburgh to Galashiels now, and getting between Glasgow and Edinburgh is pretty easy. The best way would be to have a jacket made up whilst you're in the...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    @ButteMT61 I've been tempted by a replica of that jacket... You could approximate it with an Aero Sheene or Seven. Some of the details might be a bit different, such as losing the shoulder and elbow reinforcements, or the shoulder gussets, but wouldn't be that noticeable. Alternatively, you...

    What kind of leather jacket am I thinking of?

    The Aero Hippie (or East West Barnstormer) is always the correct answer. This is a period replica by Ibex. I actually prefer the Aero Leathers version, which loses the waist and pocket straps. You can see it in nick123's thread. How about getting one in natural Vicenza leather?

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    A replica of this vintage Bates jacket in natural and blackened brown Vicenza could be really cool.

    An Aero 'car coat' as first quality jacket?

    Since no-one has mentioned it, how about the Veste de Rallye? It's based on a 1960s car coat, and would seem to fit the brief quite well. :) That said, the Premier Work Coat is probably the nicest button-up jacket that Aero do.

    Aero Leather Hippie Jacket

    Colin Farrell used to wear one. Here he is in it on the cover of Details magazine, which looks to have all sorts of useful advice in it! :) I'm a big fan of the Hippie jacket, but the largest size that Aero made was a 42" to 44", and I'm probably a 46" these days. Still, it no doubt saved me...

    The Motorcycle Helmet Thread

    I don't want to disturb you too much @rocketeer, but I found this on the Ace Cafe's history page. It looks like they were the Ace Café back in the thirties. :eek::eek::eek:

    You do realise that I make a point of writing Café Racer just to wind you up? :p:p:p

    The Motorcycle Helmet Thread

    @rocketeer I live in central Melbourne, I ride a Triumph Thruxton, and wear selvedge denim. Ergo I'm a hipster, and use Café instead of Kaff! :D Anyway, you can't be full-on Power Ranger with a two piece suit. :p

    I've got a Bell Bullitt Carbon in the Ace Café scheme. I always wear earplugs.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've got a jacket on order with Good Wear. I got to the head of the queue about 18 months ago, at a time when both my life and John's were in a state of disarray. I'm meaning to chase him up when things return to some semblance of normal at his end. Hopefully I'll get the jacket sometime this...

    SB Custom Cafe Race - Vintage Clayton HH

    I was in Sydney up until the start of the week, and am now in Melbourne. It really is not leather jacket weather in either city. It's a nice looking jacket, even if unsuited to the local climate. Hey @ProteinNerd, aren't you a size 42 in a Café Racer? Though I don't think that you'd want to...

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    OK, how about the Knox Orsa Mark II? They're a fairly plain, black glove. You probably wouldn't notice the Power Ranger elements from a distance. The closure will be hidden by your jacket's cuff. The gloves have a full CE rating, which is incredibly rare, scaphoid and knuckle protection...

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    The Knox Handroid gloves are one of the few designs to be fully CE certified. This is still pretty rare, and indicates that they should take a fair amount of abuse if you go down in them. BKS (the made-to-measure part) no longer make their gloves in Devon, but have outsourced production to a...
