Got this back late last night and couldn't wait to start wearing again.. Shout out to Dena @iknowleather for getting this thedi back in action. I busted the riri zipper that was on there. Never felt quite right and didn't take many wears for the pin to finally snap.
Besides the flawless...
Well said @Canuck Panda
I think for a lot of us, once you get past the "reasonable" range, what maybe 3 or 4 jackets LOL, it becomes a hobby. And whether it's baseball cards, Corvettes, Civil War memorabilia, whatever, you're always chasing stuff down because that's where the thrill comes...
careful with the WTB stuff. Some scammers preying lately. A jacket like this is fairly common around here and will pop up legitimately for sale one of these days. But always be careful when doing biz with new members especially with PPFF. Sucks it has to be this way, but I think a lot of us...
I picked up a blackened brown Vic Ridley off our classifieds. Arrived on Saturday. Wow, what a jacket. I posted a shot on WAYWT thread, but since this one dedicated to Aero Vic leathers, I wanted to mention here too in case anyone is considering. The leather is very drapey, but substantial...
thanks. I'm not quite sure how to describe the leather. I know there's fans and people who don't like. It's definitely not a supple kind of leather, but yet it's very pliable. Obviously the thinner weight helps. For reference, I have a Ridley in CXL and that is a 44. A bit loose, but not...
Contact Jeri at Schott. Besides the obvious configuration of the snaps, there's lots of other factors (i.e. jacket collar width and shape)
As for other options, I think others have used Johnson Leathers and maybe Dena to create custom mutton collars. I got a couple jackets I'm thinking about...
Legit jacket weather this morning. This one was on my wish list. Missed it like 3 times. Finally got one. Might be my last while I wait for a couple things in the works.
Probably made a couple years ago. This batch of blackened brown Vicenza seems blacker than a lot of what I see posted...
I love that you're getting so many jacket wears in Texas. Makes my complaining about Los Angeles weather seem very snow flake so to speak. Lately, mornings have been chilly out here though, so I'm getting one jacket in until about 10:30ish. And then usually at night around the house I put on...
Many thanks. Next time for sure.
The Riri zipper on my Thedi broke. Was really surprised because it's only gotten maybe 30 wears. But I think the slider was at a weird angle, almost like the tape had been pulled too tight during sewing and forced it to angle out. So the male pin had to...
that's a perfect fit imo. A little bit of a pinch in the chest with the zipper closed, but something like that will settle down with more wears. Same with the back, that'll lay flatter with more wears. Nice one! If you need to layer often, then you probably could use a bigger size, but for...
Next time you go, let me know, maybe you can pick me up a few. I just had to do a repair on a jacket, and these #5 NOS talons I have are just not big enough. Would love to find something in the 7-10 range--Talon, Crown, Servil, whatever. It's so dumb I know, but just seeing the YKK on the...
been waiting to see this leather out in the wild. Looks really rich. I don't think Aero will do a type 3 in very thick leather. Probably Vicenza or Badalassi is a good mid point.
Yep. I contacted Rip on weds. He said no updates but on paper I had another 5-7 weeks.
Waiting to order even those few days really bumped up the times. Maybe they working on their store stock supply. Can't imagine a flood of custom orders came through.
Hoping they under promised and going...
Sold. Yipee! Someone is going to be looking really cool in Greece. :D
Now I really need to just focus on what I got. Damn classifieds are going to be the death of me.
