    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yes, it's a welcome addition for sure. I'm sure it can be requested from Aero itself for certain models but the biggest inspiration was the Thedis I see here a lot as it just looks super cool. It makes sense now why shearlings are so beloved, it's so soft and warm. I want one but I'm afraid it...

    My First Aero - 1930s HB

    Yes! Fit is wonderful, it looks trim but seems like there is space to layer up as well. Looks great and that's a great way to start off here. May we see you post more jackets in the future.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    From what I can tell for sure is that they removed excess leather from the side panel. They took about 1" off each side panel. But maybe they also tapered the back panel some to Balance it out who knows. Damon mentioned the whole armhole thing too but I didn't get it I just went ahead and went...

    Thanks man! Should have ordered the mouton collar and ordered a size down from the start but nothing I could do about that now! Just happy it's now here and it fits/looks the way it does. Thanks again

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    They did, I really like this mouton collar. The fit is so much better now than what it was, it feels right. Thank you.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Took my black Masaye HH jacket back to JL today when I picked up my Aero that was being altered. JL offered a remake of the jacket but I said no as the jacket fits me so nicely and I've pretty much completely breaked it in. So they said okay to adding a bottom waist band. Also started my next...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks man, it's an Eastman Luftwaffe inspired jacket. I wanted to get the real Eastman but the jacket closest to my size has a back length of 24.5" which is too long for my short self. I requested it to be the template but not cloned completely.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you, it definitely elevated the look of the jacket plus the added warmth on the nape was so welcome with how cold (relative I know) it was earlier today. Thanks man! That belstaff looks super cool, kinda reminds me of a trucker jacket. I've been liking that particular shoulder design...

    They are pretty good keeping up with production times. Yes, it's so easy to order from them lol the fact that you only pay 50% off at first makes it easier on the wallet too.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks. I'll do that from now on too. I only used to account for sleeve shrinkage as I never knew the jacket shell sometimes shrink as well. I guess that's why it's important to know the leather and it's tendencies when placing orders. I did want to try a new leather they offered so I'm not...

    I also ordered my first selvedge with them but it's too small so I am returning it. Any news on your JL?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Noted, I'll see what they recommend but most likely the added band will be my choice as well. I'm sure they will, never had an issue with them. They asked me to bring the jacket in when I pick up the Aero I'm getting altered. That's great to know, I had no idea about that. I get it now that's...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    They are still closed and still haven't returned my message so I don't know their take yet. It is a new leather to them as well and my jacket is probably the most worn at this time. If I had known I would have made it longer for sure. I'm more anxious about the jacket shrinking even more if I...

    It will look higher if you use a full sole because it will need more leather stacking but if you use a half sole it will look sleeker and will have less leather heel stacking

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Looks like it shortened in the front as well because the zippers are warped. It might have molded in my chest/shoulder too well. But why would the lining get more slack? It does feel great from chest to the waist but I feel a little too bare in the hip area. That's actually crossed my mind as...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    That's good to know. Even though it's a pretty mild winter here it's by nowhere near hot enough to have heat shrink my jacket so it's really baffling to me. It still fits but I'm not too sure about the length now lol looks like I borrowed someone's jacket. I hope to hear from JL soon, hopefully...
