    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Well in fairness this isn't just like the jacket you described. If this would fulfill what you're looking for, you have a lot of options as this general design is used by many Northeastern American police departments. I even have a brand new one that I'm selling for cheap since I got the wrong...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    As a few of us keep pointing out, the standard/unnamed house leathers at good makers are going to be as good as if not better than most tanneries we know as a brand or something. They won't put something subpart in that besmirches their reputation.

    Aero Half belt fit check

    I think he means he could resell for the same used price vs buying a new jacket and needing to move it.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Depends on whether they need to make a bespoke pattern for you or not. If you're essentially a stock size and they just need to do your pocket configuration on a standard jacket type like @Canuck Panda mentions, you're looking at Aero prices.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Surely that concern would apply even more to Pakistan? Shipping between the UK and US is not a massive issue I would think from my time living in each.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This was exactly my thought. If not for the price rise I would have immediately just recommended the Lewis Roadmaster.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Different utilitarian elements, when assembled together, can look simply bizarre. A labcoat with the length of a Perfect would be absurd for example. Not sure I understand your point about the back. Your reference was a 5 Star copy of the Schott 519, which is a motorcycle jacket. In any case...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Aero won't make the jacket he's looking for. Johnson will so that should be his next port of call.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This jacket seems like a pretty bizarre stew of elements that won't work well together. You want chest cargo pockets with an A-2 front, no knits, and a Perfecto back?

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    I bought a really beautiful one from a forum member but I’ll probably be moving it on because I can’t justify having two (I had received a repro Irvin just days earlier).

    Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?

    I'm a fan of Samurai but I think this belt is way overpriced for what it is (basically a thick belt blank with a brass buckle). For such a thing, Sugar Cane's version is more realistically priced. A side note of advice: That Samurai site is probably the worst place to buy their stuff...

    Schott 688, 557, Aero Seven fit checks

    Haha the thing is it would bother me to no end on a sports jacket (even a casual one like a tweed). But with a leather jacket it matters a lot less to me, not least because a lot of vintage ones were that short by design (because people would wear gauntlet gloves over the shorter sleeve) so it’s...

    Schott 688, 557, Aero Seven fit checks

    Honestly with leather jackets I don't care all that much if the sleeve is a bit too short if everything else works. They're casual wear after all.

    Simmons Bilt vs. Aero Half Belt sizing question

    Sounds like CXL is what you're talking about.

    Buyee working?

    I think this too might have been a better fit for the ask a question thread, but I wouldn't be too concerned about that. I assume the associates are on holiday or something. I cannot imagine the team is huge. And it's not like the buyee assistants can help with things like product details...

    Technical questions - center seam, coloured leather

    To be clear, topcoat isn't inherently worse. Horween's colours are beloved around the world for a reason.

    Simmons Bilt vs. Aero Half Belt sizing question

    It's switched directions though; they used to be much smaller than tagged, now it's 22" hems on a size 38 cross-zip.
