    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Picked this up on ebay for my wife. It far exceeds expectation. Need to research it, but prob late 70s early 80s. Kind of 141ish with some nice female touches. Glorious fat talon zip, nice grainy leather, cool cut. I sewed shut halfway up the action back to give it more fit. Wish I got so...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    I've gotten close a few times to buying one of the higher end Japanese jackets. I just couldn't pull the trigger. I think there are diminishing returns after you cross the $1000 point. Via our classifieds, I've gotten both my Thedis and a handful of really tricked out Aeros sub $1000, even...

    FS: Cal Leather 1960s horsehide 40L

    If you ever wanted a Cal and this is close to fitting, it's a no brainer. Having handled many of them and seen 10x for sale, this one looks top notch. Less and less are coming up for sale that have original zippers, no liner damage, etc. etc. Out of the 50+ jackets I've handled, there is...

    Probably mid point of the gussets going across. Feel around. One side might have snapped and now it's dangling. In any case, take to a seamstress. They'll know what to do.

    WTB: Budget Brown Leather Jacket - size 40-42

    search Ebay for Brooks Cafe Racer. You want one with gold label. Most go for $90-125. One of the best bang for buck. Lesco has got a really nice brown leather too. But I found sizing all over the place. But worth a search as well. Schott always worth a shot LOL, but most go for $200-300...

    there's an elastic band that runs across the mid back. You can feel it through the liner. If it's limp, it needs a new one. Any seamstress can pull this off very easily and without causing harm. Small cut in the liner, take out the old one, stitch in the new one. Probably $20-30 tops. Now...

    Aero 25% Off Sale...

    I think I've made huge strides in my self control :cool: Saw the post on IG, said to myself, ah, don't need anything. 1 hour later (vs. instantly LOL) I did check out of "curiosity" LOL. About 5 jackets I could buy without thinking about it. But walked away. Lets see how I hold up. That...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    I debated about this too. The classic black really kept luring me but in the end, I've got too many black cross zips and needed something different, so I went with the BRG Lightning. It should be here early next week, so we'll see. But I've seen enough to be confident about it. Also, I...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    Unless I'm mistaken, the zipper is something he could sew on at the very end. I get why you wouldn't want to precondition leather before constructing since there is waste when making the jacket. So the zipper could be sewn on after the treatment. It's worth asking him about it. Schott does...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    Yep this. And go for a #10. Made a big difference. When I had my zipper changed out, even though I forgot to mention it to Dena, it smoothed out a lot when she installed the new one. I did get the jacket wet in the rain though last week, so a few small waves came back as I guess it dried a...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    some of us get our jackets wet on purpose to speed up the break in, get more creases, etc. So it's not like the old Jerry Seinfeld joke about leather shrinking and cows screaming every time it rains :D The tricky part is not the getting wet part, but how it dries. You want to hang it in cool...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Freaking awesome. I've been eyeing that Bainbridge for a while. I actually almost pulled the trigger on something similar with the Daredevil model but then chickened out because at the time I thought the sleeve coin zip was too much LOL. Meanwhile I've got a full blown LL Lightning coming...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    Yep, same leather and liner as mine and very similar pattern with different hardware. .I like the extra panels on yours. I had to replace the zipper already, but I think that riri is what I had. It was doomed from day 1. Either the post shrinking, treatment, whatever, warped the zipper, or...
