    My mind has just EXPLODED

    Guy at Nightclub: You look like a clown in that stupid jacket. Sailor: This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.

    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    I think Stellan Skaarsgård is overrated as an actor. I actually prefer if he is not in the film. I do enjoy Alexander skaarsgård tho, like in True Blood. Not a very good series, but his acting alone is worth it, specially if you have seen movies where he is acting in swedish :) Basically my...

    Aero Cafe Racer Arrives!

    Aha, i suspected it was standard in more jackets but wasn´t sure. Hovever my halfbelt came with leather cuffs and I´m pretty sure there wasnt any discussion about it. It may be because it was in the medium oilpull, its thinner and there wasnt much left so maybe they let it slide due to the...

    The quest for a perfect fitting Aero goes on

    My opinion is that it might be "needed" since my Highwayman has shown some wear along the hem. It isnt cotton drill tho, but some mustard cotton. However, I just know it will feel too bulky for me. The double lether cuffs on my HB is bulky, and they aren´t even FQHH, they are medium weight. I...

    Pegasus Durable Clothing Horsehide Cafe Racer Review

    If I had the money and had no intention of reselling it I would not be nervous. From what I have seen the jackets look as good or better then any of the major makers. And I am sure he would stand up for his work if anything unforseen would happen (like stitching that fails or anything of the...

    Pegasus Durable Clothing Horsehide Cafe Racer Review

    Thanks. I was vague, but I actually meant the Pegasus CafeRacer (not that GW isnt good, its incredible, I just love Pegasus clothes somehow). I know there are pictures on the website, I have seen them many times, but I would love a fit pic from the back from the threadstarter, its always nice...

    The quest for a perfect fitting Aero goes on

    I think 24.5" back sounds good. Its what I have and the jacket is short. It will pull up more then the Highwayman because of the sidestraps so it might just be what you want in the end. But we also need to understand that not all bodys are the same even tho we are the same length. We have...

    I also think 24" sounds a little short. My halfbelt is 24.5" and I wouldnt want it any shorter. I am 180cm.

    The quest for a perfect fitting Aero goes on

    I wear a 38 Highwayman and a 40 in the 30´s halfbelt. I also like the slightly longer front, although I asked for longer back so mine isnt as pronounced, but I still like it alot and almost wish it were even longer in the front, it just feels very stylish and is the feature I actually like the...

    Yes the jacket looks good, but if you hear what he is saying "that it felt too big" and then look at the pictures you can clearly see that the shoulders could be more snug for a perfect fit. My shoulders are more snug and I can still layer a sweater under the jacket.

    The quest for a perfect fitting Aero goes on

    I agree with Borisna that the jacket is a smidge too big. If I look at the shoulders of my Highwayman they are a little less saggy, and the jacket is not tight. I dont know if its a whole size too big, but I do understand that he feels its too big.

    Sweet. Do you remember how much more black there were on the jacket from the start? Yeah it was a great time when a leather jacket was just a leather jacket. :)

    Show Your Patina

    too much cofee: There is no harm done, relax. One positive thing about it tho, is that it still smells of dad. :) I want to say again that yes the jacket was predistressed. It was never black, but made to look like it "had" been black, so yes it was mostly brown all over even from the...

    Show Your Patina

    You mean on the arm? I think its just for keeping a pen. It was actually my fathers, hehe and he was very clean. But offcourse all people sweat and has fat and oil in the skin, and since this was about his only jacket - it absorbed some over the years.
