    1950s White Trojan night rider back from Dena

    Fantastic work Dena!! Such a neat project as well! I am certain you will be getting more work coming here over the next few weeks, if indeed it actually starts to cool down.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Awesome jacket there Brokenglass. Looks in very nice shape. Can't go wrong with true old-school comp weight leather.

    The Flat Head vs The Real McCoy's: which jacket to choose?

    Nice!! I do hope you'll do a review of both when you receive them. We don't see a whole of them on here.

    Cross-zip Jacket back fit - wrong, right and indifferent

    ^^ These photos show it well what I appear to be doing wrong. I can certainly appreciate what others have said too regarding arm placement, and maybe having the back of the belt uncovered does indeed make sense. By the way, this is for all folks who have have cross-zip fit issues, especially...

    Cross-zip Jacket back fit - wrong, right and indifferent

    Thanks Marc -- just wishing the IR (in particular) was a more tidy fit on me. For an example, here's the fit of an Aero Premier Highwayman on me (46L)

    Cross-zip Jacket back fit - wrong, right and indifferent

    Here is a Johnson Leathers that is a little bland in the back. I do like the overall fit of this one... Front view of the same jacket:

    Cross-zip Jacket back fit - wrong, right and indifferent

    I've agonized over this thread and the subject matter here quite a bit over the years, but just never took the time to start a thread on it. This is different than a general "fit thread". It should stay specifically to Cross-zips, of any brand, and specifically with side & back issues of fit...

    I could offer to be your sponsor!! :) I need it too... Just hope the seller has been in touch with you - the "0" feedback is a bit of a challenge for me. Hope you get it soon!

    The Flat Head vs The Real McCoy's: which jacket to choose?

    I would go for the Freewheelers. They just look 100% correct, classic, with a little bit of interesting character. You could happily buy one of these and live in it for many years. Just don't let it out of your sight! :)

    Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.

    Cool - that is what I was thinking that, well, you were thinking. :) I 100% agree that is a very good use of scrap pieces of leather, and just a good idea no matter who makes the jacket. I like "period correct" but also really value durability as well. I owned a Sears Hercules courtesy of...

    Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.

    Inside or outside: It is not uncommon on the inside for liner protection. Here is an example from a vintage Reed Motorcycle style jacket: Link to this jacket: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324787376000?

    Aero Premier Highwayman 46L Cordovan

    Up for sale is a very nice Premier Fit Aero Highwayman in FQHH with black Alpaca wool body lining. This jacket has a new #10 Nickle zipper installed by Dena at Great Leather. Rest of hardware is all Nickle and works well. From smoke & pet free home. There are scratches on both sleeves that...

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Correct, handwarmer pockets for the passanger. Lost Worlds J24 & J24 have them too. I actually like brass with black, especially with a bit of silver/nickle added in. But it has to be glossy black for me. :) Brass hardware on black boots = even better! I also prefer a full-around belt, but...

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Crosszips in general are a different kind of animal of a jacket. The "King of Crosszips" @ton312 may have some deeper thoughts on what makes for the perfect fit. I will claim no crown myself, but thinking back since college, I have likely owned ~ 20 different crosszip style motorcycle jackets...
