    Aero Indian Ranger Custom - help?

    I thought that was actually what your old thrift store jacket was... it had the same coin pocket and looked like a GB to me. Did your old one not have lacing?

    Aero Indian Ranger Custom - help?

    Have you thought about just looking for a new Golden Bear jacket? They are not that unusual, they come up pretty often on ebay and usually go for good deals. These two are pretty expensive, but if you look around you should find some in the 250$ range: https://www.ebay.com/itm/263483483032...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That was around three years ago. He ended up getting banned a year later but opened a new account and carried on doing the same thing under a new name.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Is the Police actually taking it seriously and doing something? That seller spent a couple weeks calling me daily to threaten me, leaving me voice message telling me he would come down to London to "sort me out", that i wasn't safe anywhere, that he was going to get me, he was a real weirdo. I...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Dude, next time you see a sweet Vanson for a gret deal in a size 42 how about you send the link to me instead of posting it here! I would have bought that one in a heartbeat, really want to try the double zipper thing...

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    Easy to do alone, really not a problem. It doesn't look super distinguished, and it will mess your hair up, but it's not like you need two people helping you and a shoehorn.

    IMO the best quality jacket you can get for the money used on eBay are Vanson, they are very hard to beat. Other than that i would look at Walter Dyer, Branded, Brooks, Bates, Johnson.

    Sears Vertical Zip Map Pocket motorycle jacket

    Let me add fit pics to this thread, i have been wearing it a lot since these pics where taken and the grain has really popped out. In use it is a very nice jacket, the "sandwich pocket" (as Stuart calls it) is super practical, you can fit a bottle of wine in there comfortably.

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    Well i'm going to go against the grain and say that if this was made by anybody other than Himel and cost half as much i would hit BIN. I have been riding with my Vanson Denver quite a bit this summer and it is amazing, i just wish it had side zips and a zippered collar like the Himel. This...

    New guy here

    It closes right over letf and has fake pockets, IMO its a women's coat. Also the brand name sounds like a wordplay between "Damsel" and "Elle" which is retty feminin. Lastly, if you google "Damselle leather jacket" you only find women's coats with that brand name...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I did that once, super easy fix. Get some DOT snap caps, and get the tool (just google "dot snap cap tool"), it's a little punch style tool and a small rounded anvil. You just have to drill out whatever was left of the old snap cap, put a new one in and hammer the rivet in place. There are a...

    Opinions on Current Production Ducati Corse C5 Jacket by Dainese? What’s not to like?

    The red corset idea is weird... This is the first thing it made me think of: Not a fan of the huge branding either.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Honestly their Windward is an even better jacket... The lining is the same silky stuff but with a wool interliner, and the jacket has underarm gussets that are much more useful than the californian setup. Biceps are also a tad less pinchy. If you see a used one you should give it a go, you won't...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I just received a second batch of pics. This one shows the difference between black lining and grey moose quite well, I'm really curious to see it against the black Horse Hide. It looks so thick, the back is crazy:

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    The tannery doesn't offer flawless hides ( they don't grade them), we just ordered what they had. RD ordered much more than what was "needed" because we where expecting to have a bunch of waste because of scratches and bullet holes, but when they arrived Stu said they where pretty much flawless...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Second grey moose hide jacket is ready, they are both shipping today. To say i am excited is an understatement, i cannot freaking wait! And here was No1 in case you missed it: Both of these will remain unique, @red devil and I decided to only have a single jacket made from each...
