    washing is the easy part. The drying is where the "changes" happen. I would dunk in a bucket with some water and dawn or liquid dish washer soap. Slosh around a couple minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. Depending on how the jacket fits you, then either air dry or put in the dryer. The dryer...

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    experimented with mine last night. If I rolled my shoulders forward, the lines got worse. If I rolled my shoulders back to almost an uncomfortable completely upright puffing out chest position, they got better. So basically, the tugging "up" of the material makes them go away. Which is...

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    I kind of remember that post, Marc. And that's what I'm sort of talking about, but you did a better job showing it. There's too much material in that quadrant, lets say the upper pec going to the shoulder. So it's not so much that the p2p or shoulder measurement is wrong, it's the angles of...

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    I thought mine had them because maybe it was too tight in the shoulders and chest. But now seeing yours with the bigger p2p, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the opposite is true. Like almost too much material bunching up. At least yours doesn't have the flaring out hand warmer pockets like...

    so much hate in the world. Makes me sad. But then I remember, the empty can makes the most noise.

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

    a few of us rocking these now. They are awesome. From what I can tell, they are based on the Beck 666. The ones with the wind flap are the Schott model. The ones without are the original Beck. Schott re-released the design as the 641xx, but even that model has some variations. One has NOS...

    WTB: Vanson Commando leather jacket (size XS) or Fine Creek Leon (size 40)

    yep, this is what I'm starting to piece together. The butterscotch version, not sure with all their models, but with at least their 3.0 version has a wider bottom hem. Website says comp weight but then also mentions CXL. I think I can barely squeeze into a small if it's the butterscotch...

    WTB: Vanson Commando leather jacket (size XS) or Fine Creek Leon (size 40)

    ah, you're right. The Horween version has different sizing than the regular one. Although there's misleading info as to whether the usual Commando is comp weight or the firenze leather (z150 I think)? That obviously will make a big difference on the fit because you can go a little tighter...

    WTB: Vanson Commando leather jacket (size XS) or Fine Creek Leon (size 40)

    been trying to find these too but not even sure I know what size to buy when I do find one LOL. The butterscotch tri colab seems to be a lot bigger than just the usual left field collab of the Commando. There's currently a Small in the Butterscotch on Ebay, and Medium of the Left Field. But...

    Fine Creek Leather

    the back will lay flatter with time, but you still going to have extra material. I think like others have said, depends on what you wear under. If it's meant to be Tshirt only, think you need another style that's more tapered. If you're going to be wearing with armor, sweater, etc. then it's...

    Fine Creek Leather

    don't think you have enough room to come down a full size. So it's probably the best you can do. Although, there is a lot of extra material in the back. Sleeves will shorten a touch. Length is a little long, but again, not much to do there. Overall I'd say pretty good. Can you try on the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    exactly this. Was the point of my Cal thread I did the other day. None of my new jackets will ever come close because there's not enough chance to wear them. Plus and probably more importantly, I don't ride, so they're not getting exposed to all those elements. 60 or 70 years of wear can't...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    yeah, I know. You're right. It's not even worth the trouble. Was more about finding someone who really wants one and will wear it. At this point, the beautiful talon zips are worth more than the jacket. Ok, I'm keeping. LOL. This happens with all my jackets I go to sell. Thank God I have...

    alright, Brooks roll call. Haven't worn this in a while. Thinking about selling. If anyone interested, let me know.

    Hiding stitching (needle) holes in leather - can it be done?

    I don't think you can ever "fix" it. Like Monitor said, it's a hole, and things fall into holes. I think best you can hope for is to reduce it's appearance. The steam trick in theory works, but I don't know for how long. Obviously if the holes are on a high stress area like a seam, it's...
