    Nick's Roberts black CXL leather 10.5D

    Catch & release on these amazing, beautiful Nick's Roberts. They are a very true to size 10.5D, and therefore just a little too short and even slightly narrow in the heel area for me. I wore them in my house for ~ 1 hour with two different types of socks, just a bit too tight! Purchased on...

    Leather jacket custom ordering

    Not sure about Lost Worlds' tolerance specifications for custom ordering. I knew Aero is ~ +/- 0.5" When I ordered a LW J23 from Stuart back in 2016 (over the phone) he was quite curtious, and was less concered with measurements from other jackets, but quite curious about both measurments from...

    Please look at my buco jacket size

    Yes, welcome to FL - I would agree with others this is a little too tight, especailly upper body.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Who would do this to an innocent Harley Davidson crosszip? At least for now it's only $10.00 Size "38" Good opprotunity if someone wants to make thier own vest, I suppose. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255885639756?

    Ordering from Aero vs Thruston

    This is exactly why I continue to support Thurston as the US Stockist for Aero. For me any price differance is not worth the trouble.

    Aero Dustbowl - CXL FQHH Brown - Fit / Impressions / Thoughts

    TartuWolf - I like seeing anyone younger than myself interested in leather jackets. So in no way should you take any of the constructive feedback here from any of us as discouraging. It's great you love these jackets & hats and I hope you are able to find that perfect jacket soon. I find...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    Crown zippers are quite smooth - at least the spring-loaded #10 main on my J23. Rest of the smaller Crowns are comperable to Talon repros on my other jackets Do be advised that some Crown zippers are not "pretty" to look at (mine are dull grey) but solid in function.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    So I own and enjoy a Lost Words J23 that was ordred by a member here with several upgrades. I will upload photos of it but they are around on this site already. This specific LW J23 has Crown zips and the same rayon lining as the Easy Ryder, which if purchased today would be ~ 1k in upgrades...

    Thoughts on the Thunder Bay from Aero

    Here is a link to their website showing a rather similar Thunderbay. I had to look it up as I thought it was a longer button-up model. Indeed not: https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/mens/thunderbay/mto072 It is a short jacket. I don't think one of these would work with my fairly long torso...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    So unfortunately, this photo hits a little too close to home for me. I lost my birth-father earlier this year. He had to wear a man-purse similar to this everywhere he went, usually around his shoulder and not over the neck as shown here. This is what occurs when you're diabetic, and have...

    $10,000 VISVIM Jacket

    Actually I was really having the same thought! Literally looks like and '80's Mall jacket that was re-dyed and sanded, given a poor artificial aging processing and then sent to the shop floor. Not a purchase I would make...

    Aero Board Racer fit

    Best off the contact Aero directly. If in North America, route through Thurston Brothers (thread on this forum).

    Schott 689H fit check

    Looking good. Nice, simply, easy to wear jacket there. Sleeves are fine, I would always prefer them just a bit longer than a bit too "short".

    Lewis Leathers , Good quality?

    @Edward - thanks for the very comprehensive history there on Lewis! Always good to see solid knowledge, especially from someone with access to them so close by. I do indeed like the Corsair & Dominator models - (that huge 1-piece back panel is amazing) and they appear to be very well...

    Lewis Leathers , Good quality?

    The have quite an extensive history. I have tried but never suceeded picking one up, and much like your observation, I have had good luck with Aero & other makers (Vanson, Cal, Lost Worlds, etc) for less cost. Don't know if this is an endorsement or not, since I have never handled one...
