    Interesting, what is a J-106?? is it a made-up name? Aero's Buco is J-106, but it's meant to be a J-24...from what I can see, the collar, lapel angle and size, armhole, D pocket shape, are all different from LW's J-24, I guess I answered my own questions. Aero's is a J-24 inspired jacket....

    There isn't anything special about the way J-24 is made. It's just a... Leather jacket. Nothing in particular stood on RMC's J-24 that I have tried, compared to Aero's version. Not sure what you mean? Cool details and pocket features aside, it's just your standard cross zipper bike jacket with a...

    I'd like to thank all the inputs and photos, very helpful. While my original question is just a comparison between the two maker's J24, the extra experiences are insightful. I am not unfamiliar with LW, just not their flagship J24, and I also never handled the Aero J24 in any leather (had a...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Lining of an 80s Ward halfbelt. These department store jackets are really well made, this one was probably made in Korea. I think in exchange for the lower labor cost, the Korean factory maintained the high quality technique and material. The threads are very strong, leather is cheap but aged...

    Thought this is as good a thread as "Aero Leather" if there was one. I want to know the comparison of Aero's J-24 vs LW's. I'd suppose LW is the king of Buco repro these days? How does the proportion/fit/mobility compare? I never owned a LW J-24, had a Legedary USA one by Schott, it was pretty...

    The other famous photo of a larger family of three boys and a girl featured a more Easy-to-ID jacket, a “bootlegger” style with tear drop D pocket and chain pull. But this one is more puzzling.

    Hoodies, history

    When was the hooded sweatshirt created? When did people start to wear a hoodie under a leather jacket?

    Lewis Leathers / LL Cowhide

    and the collar, sure, the 59er has the correct construction but its size and height still not right, Lewis' collar is really cool

    Lewis Leathers / LL Cowhide

    Between a Lewis and the Aero 59er, as far as Rivets' concerned, I'd go for the Lewis. Aero's is just too Highwayman-ish, and the placement of the cuff zipper is wrong, even though it's their choice. It takes away the look. Also, the boxy mid section on the 59er wouldn't be any better than the...

    It’s very thick for sure, but not necessarily heavy. I’m dying to know what the cuff and back look like. In the 40s, I think only motorcycle jacket had the vertical D pocket, but they could have had shirt cuffs instead of zipped cuff. Note the large spring loaded crown zipper. The right hand...

    always wondered what jacket this is, the D pocket looked like a police Buco, but I don't see epaulettes and exposed snaps.
