    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    tip on breaking in, helped me a lot. I lay the jacket flat and roll up from the bottom to the top as tightly as possible. As I get to the top, I fold in the sleeves and basically roll into a log. Then, use my knees to literally "knead" for like 30 seconds. Then flip over the jacket and roll...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    1970s Schott 618. Really digging this. Talon zips, no underarm gussets, very slim fit. Can't believe it's a Schott. Another inch on the length would have been great, but it's cool in certain situations. Also like how the belt is much smaller and doesn't hang completely down. I feel like my...

    Ultimate Leather Conditioner Comparison (on Reddit)

    good advice here. Looks like the top coat is gone. Is the finish more "suede" feeling? Definitely consult an expert in restoring.

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    They won't stretch, but what's typical is the sleeves do cinch up some because of the creases. However, what I've found with my Sheene and Cafe Racer is that I do get the creases, but it's pretty negligible on the overall length because the leather gives more, especially once the jacket warms...

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    that's pretty darn close. I guess if you're cool waiting, a little longer sleeves is good idea. But I don't think the sleeves will cinch up that much given it's CXL. Thing is so loaded with wax and oils once it warms up it stretches out, even with sleeve creases.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    think it was a size 40 no or LW tend to run big? In any case, that's the danger with the Japanese stuff. You don't have direct access to seller, so you can't clarify. So you really need to know what you're buying and have a reference point.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    yep from Target. Someone photoshopped in the turn table and mixer set. But mine doesn't have that tag line. That would be even cooler.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Mall Jacket Throwdown Wednesdays (in the spirit of Ton's jacket showcase) Here's my submission. Guppy posted this Gap Trucker in the Finds & Deals thread. Jumper gave me assertion to grab it (along with another one). Problem was it's a XL. Had to do a major shrinking job on it (like 3 days...

    Vintage Langlitz cascade 40

    what's your height and weight? Are those darker panels added afterwards to increase the size of the jacket? If so, were they added by Langlitz?

    Wouldn't it be a shame if this thread gets locked/removed too?

    Well, you're taking select pieces. I also said... "I'm not saying the posts weren't valid or important, but I think it's more an issue of tidying up the posts" And later said "Whether your thread needed it's own or could have been added to another is splitting hairs and a bit of red herring to...

    1940s-50s Cal Leather CHP

    Buy one from the Cal store. I've seen them in person. They are awesome. Not sure how much though. Sort of a thick braided material.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This one looks sweet. I'd buy it, but I just picked up a Schott 641xx on the cheap. Got too many of these racers now. 7 hours to go on the auction, but I bet no one bids on it. You might get cheaper if you wait, but at about $400ish + $75ish shipping, that's a good deal. MADE IN USA LOST...
