    Aero Premier 1930s Half Belt

    Radz, thank you so much! So your feedback confirms my suspicion. The stiffer horsehide certainly contributes to the sensation of restriction, that aside, the engineering of a jacket is truly a mysterious feat. I’m sure most people here have experienced Gibson Barnes, which in my opinion build...

    Aero Premier 1930s Half Belt

    Hi, I would like to get some feedback & fit/comfort info on these Premier jackets. Say let’s focus on the 1930 HB. I just want to know that if the new shoulder width & armhole poses any sense of restriction. The old 1930 has low armhole & “regular” width shoulder (for a size 40-44 it’s within...

    What is your all time favourite leather

    My favorite would be the Eastman walnut Horsehide used on the roughwear contracts. I wish it comes in black & made into motorcycle jackets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Lewis leather questions

    Talked to Marc in London. He was a bit surprised to hear that SH wouldn’t give out measurements. He gave me the measurements, and said they made it 1-2” longer overall for the store... I don’t think the store jackets will fit me, sleeves & body will be too long Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CXL also will fade. My black CXL already starts to show brown after one year. I personally love the jerky HH, perfect structure, strength & weight. The CXL is a densely compressed leather, lots of oil are pressed into the closely packed fibres. It heavy by mass without needing to be thick. The...

    Lewis leather questions

    Red Devil, thank you for the kind effort. I understand a bit the Japanese writing as it’s evolved from Chinese & the translation is right too. Anyway, a 44 is quite large! Even an Aero is not that roomy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lewis leather questions

    You are right, I remembered, but still, wanted to get a real measurement as it seems that’s just a standard size chart for all jackets. According to the chart, the rack jackets are all just a tube, chest & hem don’t differ much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lewis leather questions

    Just got off the phone with Stronghold. It was the most grueling jacket buying experience over the phone. Here’s how it went. I asked just for one or two key measurements of a stock jacket so that I can figure out the rest & just buy one. They wouldn’t give it to me for the life of me...

    For V shape, get their motorcycle jackets, the Elvis, King of the Road, Indian Ranger are all V. Route 66 is pretty good too, has a nice blouson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Zipper repair of the thread behind the male insertion pin

    I realized this is an old thread but it’s probably the closest one about zipper to what I want to ask. My question is about how zippers are sewn to the bodice & the different styles, eg. exposed teeth vs hidden/concealed. I know the techniques myself, but I’m curious how Aero Leather attach...
