    Vintage Buco-J22, Sz 44. FT or maybe FS

    Very nice. Do you have the measurements for this jacket?

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Steerhide is a hidden gem. I loved mine and love the way it breaks in too. I give a comparison here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-vicenza-vs-cxl-fqhh-vs-cxl-steerhide-1st-world-problems.97988/#post-2575028

    On the slippery slope here!

    Edward - appreciate your honestly/transparency. Sort of a short derail here but indeed, "hording" can and often does creep into our lives un-announced. I was blessed growing up to get to help clean out a great aunt's home as well as grandparents' homes as well. Each had been in thier homes...

    Vintage 1940s All Weather brand Horsehide Police Jacket-Size 42

    Thanks Terry - that's too small a Pit to Pit for me as well. I'm 23.5" or larger these days... On edit - sorry you were sick!! hope you're healing up there quick...

    Have we digressed too far from the golden era?

    This is my take as well... Life happens, it's hard to stop or slow down time, best to keep positive and keep moving along, while keeping grounded.

    Hem protector on a Aero jacket opnions?

    My Aero 4-pocket CR had a 3" strip of cotton drill at the bottom of the lining, which worked very well keeping wear off the lightweight tartan lining material. It's an option on most custom-made Aero jackets. Plus that CR had the inner and outer kidney panels, which really helped. That...

    Cal, Al or other…. Help please!

    Really nice whatever it is...will be worth a little restoration and some good hard, Wisconsin wearing this fall & winter! Wasn't there something about Al's Leathers using YKK zippers? However the arrangement of the kidney belt/pad area seems abt off for Cal o r Al's Leathers, perhaps? Too...

    White's Boots

    ^^Those are very sharp boots, and look quite comfortable.

    That's really sharp, and the Aero CR goes well with the car. I hope we see another Viper soon - but I would suspect the V-10 will give way to a hybrid V6.

    FS Whites Farmer Rancher 11.5E

    ^^ I hear you on this. I have a 9 year old pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers, which have been great boots (and was also my intro into better quality boots overall). Then I tried a pair of White's and it was all over from there. The construction, the arch support, the quality, the fit, it is well...

    FS Whites Farmer Rancher 11.5E

    Ok cool - I just bought a Final Few pair as well -- but 11.5 D. I like working with Baker's a lot, and yes, Kyle has been great to help out. Those look very nice and sure sorry they are not working out for you fit-wise. That's the most important part, for sure. My foot is slightly narrow -...

    FS Whites Farmer Rancher 11.5E

    If bought through Bakers' boots you should be able to return them. Even direct through White's if you call them. Nice boots -- what matters is how do YOU think they fit?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    True. I have seen several made of leather. That one being a "Branded" may be a thicker, higher quality leather. It may weigh quite a bit. The leather ones I viewed, back in around 2003 or so, were fairly thin. Good luck with it if you purchased it. This is one jacket I would overall...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This is a Duster - most commonly offered in oiled cotton. I have often wanted one, but just don't know if I could get used to a full-length coat. They are pretty good in rainy conditions. Here are some more traditional styles: https://www.sheplers.com/mens/outerwear/duster-coats-and-drovers/

    Nice! 10 years old and it had disc brakes. I'm a cyclist too, mostly road on paved bicycle trails. That's one thing Iowa planned for -- hundreds of miles of safe, easy-riding trails around the cornfields. Neither my mountain or road bikes have disc brakes, but the bikes I have ridden with...

    Seeing all the great British 2-wheel iron makes me want to take up Motorcycling again... Alas, only out on country roads, away from people...and their cell phones. :)

    White's Boots

    Kicking this thread back into action. If anyone is interested, I posted a in-depth review of the Otto White's that I put in this thread clear back in 2017 when they were almost new. Hard to believe it's been that long. It's in the General Forum, which seems a bit slower-paced and less...

    In Depth usage review -- Otto White's Vintage Line "packer"

    Carrying on now as time permitted, here are some more general observations about this specific pair of boots since I started wearing them: These Medium arch boots support my feet well all day, but are not great if on concrete all day (no real "padding" etc.) The lack of any "foam filling" in...
