    Is this is REAL Aero B-3?

    Well, I think the same one sold a few days earlier for £160 and is being relisted by the buyer. Was just wondering why or if he/she discovered something about the jacket. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aero-Leather-b-3-Full-Sheepskin-Jacket-Chest-38-40-/320641535759?pt=Men_s_Clothes&hash=item4aa7b98f0f

    Is this is REAL Aero B-3?

    Reason I ask is because I've never seen this color combo and the tag states that it is an Aero. Maybe an older, earlier version? Any ideas? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/B3-Sheepskin-Flying-Jacket-Aero-Leather-Size-40-/120674327374?pt=Men_s_Clothes&hash=item1c18c01b4e

    Comparable differences between B-3 and B-6?

    hi all, Just wanted to know people's experiences between a B-3 and B-6. Besides the obvious differences between the thickness of the shearling, how much more comfortable is the B-6 compared to the B-3 in more moderate weather? Could one still wear a B-6 comfortably near zero and sub-zero...

    Lost Worlds Ryder: Just Arrived!

    Nice jacket. Would you do me a favor and post some measurements of the jacket? I've been contemplating getting a Ryder from their sale's page but torn between a 34 or 36? Would you mind post the pit to pit, shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to sleeve end, and bank length (base of collar to...

    Aero Steerhide Motorcycle Jacket

    Great Aero MC jacket!! I actually have the same jacket in a 38 but I think its a HEAVY weight steerhide as it was STIFFER than anything hide I have had including several FQHH jackets. Probably between a 5.5-6.5 oz hide. It really is bulletproof. I bought it off Ebay as well and although it...

    LW J23 I got off eBay

    GREAT LW MC jacket!! I was contemplating about picking that EXACT jacket up myself but had reservations regarding the sleeve length and also it being a tad big in the chest. Could you give an exact chest measurement of this jacket and also the sleeve length? Just curious as the seller stated...

    How can you tell if a leather jacket is well made?

    The ryder IS available in YOUR size of 34 as I just talked with Stuart yesterday. 34 is available in BOTH black and russet brown so I think you are mistaken if you thought it was NOT available. I'm actually getting the same jacket in black as I think the black looks great and would look much...

    How warm is Aero's Alpaca lining or any alpaca lining?

    Just want to know people's experience with alpaca lined jackets and how warm you think it is compared to cotton drill, corduroy, blanket, or other linings. I know its not as warm as a sheepskin lining but how would you rate it compared to sheepskin or others? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Bruce

    Subjective question for the forum regarding a THIS or THAT...

    I have a subjective question for forums members. I'm currently looking at the LW's Ryder jacket in their sales section. Price is $300. It is made from their 3oz HH and NOT their inductrial 4oz which is fine with me since this would be a casual jacket and would NEVER be used for riding since I...

    Cheaper Half Belts?

    BA is alot safer than you might think... actually, Argentina is WELL-KNOWN for the quality of their beef, LOL!! Tell you what, their national animal is called the CARPINCHO, world's largest rat or from the same family. It also lives in Brazil and several other countries and I think it would...

    Cheaper Half Belts?

    Thanks so much for the help... I really appreciate your thorough analysis. I have several MC jackets already that I use when riding so the Ryder would essentially be a casual jacket. Seemed like a good deal for $300 so now all I need to do is make sure the measurements will fit and pick the...

    Cheaper Half Belts?

    hi Anders, I remember when you bought this jacket... could you post some pics of it currently? Would like to see if it is showing some grain? Also, do you know the weight of the jacket since this was the lighter 3oz horsehide and not their industrial 4oz? Thanks in advance. BTW, does anyone...

    Fastastic looking jacket... may I ask if how much it set you back and if Mark could make another in a different size in the same pattern and hide? If you could forward me Mark's info, I guess I could ask him directly, LOL. Anyways, the jacket looks fabulous. I especially like the collar...

    ANJ4 sizing compared to B3 and Irvin jackets...

    WOW John, the last 2 pics of your Eastman look amazing!! May I ask if that is their current offering of the ANJ4 or a custom made jacket? Is the fit the same as their A-2, if you happen to know? I have an Eastman A-2 in a 36 and just wanted to know if their ANJ4 would fit the same. Thanks in...
