    When does it become a costume?

    I agree with Tonypaj - there are certain things that some people can pull off and some people can't. I had a frined in college that for some reason could pull of just about anything and look cool - various hats, leisure suits, odd colors. He's always been a bit of an odd guy, but man! He...

    First Bespoke Experience

    Wow, this is a whole new world to me. Very enlightening! My dad has had a few suits made when he was in Singapore, but I'm not sure how time intensive the fitting process was. Still, as one who likes the feel of a nicely cut suit, I can imagine this must be a pleasure for you. Congrats!

    A new Highwayman and the freezing rain debacle of '09

    I don't like doing this either, but if you have the person taking the pic cut off your head, you maintain some level of anonymity. Truthfully, I'd like to see a pic of the jacket on a person as well - I'm tring to figure out the details of my Aero order (too many choices!) and seeing the fit...

    Thinking about buying an Aero or other Horsehide MC Jacket - advice needed

    Hoosierdaddy - How do you like the look and fit of your Highwayman as opposed to your Half Belt? Also, is the half belt longer than the Highwayman or about the same? I am working out the details of my order right now, and I am trying to decide between a Highwayman, a Half Belt, or what...

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    Well, it's official - I sent back the Schott today, and God and the bank account willing, I'm gonna order an Aero. Ironically, it was my wife who said pretty much the same thing that many of you here have said - "If you're gonna spend that much money, get the one you really want". Now for...

    Thinking about buying an Aero or other Horsehide MC Jacket - advice needed

    I've sent a few e-mails back and forth with Mark from Aero USA this week, and I'm very impressed with his quick and inforamtive answers. I think I will be taking the plunge and ordering an Aero soon. Just a quick question on Aero jackets - how thick is the HH they use? I really liked the...

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    Despite the look of the jeans, I am actually not a trendy person at all. I always find it humorous when things I like come into fashion. I much prefer clothing with classic, masculine, style. Levi's, good solid boots, western shirts and nicely cut button ups, and workshirts and jackets. Too...

    Thinking about buying an Aero or other Horsehide MC Jacket - advice needed

    Hey all, So if any of you saw my other thread, I went and tried a Schott 689H jacket out, but I don't think the sizing is going to work for me. So it's time to hit the drawing board again. What I am looking for is a cafe racer style Motorcycle jacket with a shirt collar and zip cuffs...

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    LOL - Give me a break :) - it was late in the evening when I took the pics! Those jeans are the most trendy looking ones I own. I wear western boots every day and I have big feet, so I actually like a little flare in my jeans if I can get it - the jeans actually don't look that flared...

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    I ride a 2002 Honda Shadow ACE 750 - I'd like something bigger, but she'll do for now. And being paid for makes her even better. Although I'm not sure how much riding I'll do in this jacket for a while - I can't lift my arms very far with the stiffness of the Horsehide!!

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    Okay - here are a few crappy pics. What do you all think of the overall fit and sleeve length? I know it's up to personal taste, but I'm curious to hear what you think. Front, Unzipped: Back, Unzipped Front, Zipped up Back, Zipped up

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    Jacket arrived yesterday.... Okay, I got the jacket yesterday when I got home from work. I decided it would be best to sleep on my impressions before writing them down... Man, Horsehide is stiff at first! Mind you, this is my first experience with Horsehide, so it was a new thing to me...

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    Thanks for your advice everyone! I decided that I would order the jacket from Sterling Leather and check it out. If it doesn't meet my expectations, I can return it for a full refund. I ended up paying a little more than I wanted to (some people have gotten this jacket for fantastic prices)...

    Schott 689H Horsehide jacket - opinions and suggestions?

    Hey all! I am new to the forum, and looking into purchasing my first Horsehide jacket. I found a good deal on a Schott 689H jacket in my size, but I haven't been able to find any of their jackets in my area (UT) to check the quality, workmanship, and fit. Has anyone here owned a Schott...
