    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    A bit behind schedule here but great photo, jacket & family!! Great place for a photo shoot too.

    Cal-Leathers Shop Visit, Ventura CA.

    This all makes me want my old "size 44" Cal back. Really awesome write-up of the store and your findings there. Nice to see it's history still in the making out there!

    New jacket day! Aero Board Racer / Abyss Blue Bainbridge

    Outstanding! Truly a magnificent piece right there. End-Game jacket for sure! :) What's the basic "weight" of the jacket and overall feel of this leather like? I would think this is closer to a Vicenza weight (so about 4.5-5 lbs for the complete jacket) verses CXL FQHH which runs around 6-8...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    My vote would be a Langlitz Cresent with a shirt style collar that snaps down. I would also ask for a Western V yoke on the upper back to dress it up a little. Might be a neat option there. You can find details here (but the photos on thier site are very poor)...

    Aero jacket - some leather advice please

    ^^ Exactly. I also have a Vicenza FQHH Aero Ridley, and frankly it's a bit more on the "thin" side to me for wearing a backpack with. I prefer to keep it for dresser occassions. I would mention to avoid Alpaca wool lining as that can be fairly warm and a bit itchy in certain circumstances.

    Aero jacket - some leather advice please

    Having owned ~ 12 different CXL Steer and FQHH jackets, I have never once had this problem.

    Aero jacket - some leather advice please

    So my perspective here may be a bit different for your situation. I don't know where you are located and the associated climate, etc. However I am in the USA - Midwest. We see a lot of wind/rain and snow for 3-4 months, then moderate to rather warm/humid temps come summer. I learned to...

    Happy birthday there Danny - looks like a nice set of gifts - or at least some great deals. :)

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    ^^ perhaps the typo was supposed to be $61.41

    Is that neat yellow jacket a Langlitz with padded shoulders?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Inquiring minds have wanted to see more photos of the Blackend Brown Vicenza Aero Ridley, so here are some in good light with a different camera angle. This is today. Gives an idea why this is a hard item to really describe... Compare these to Saturday just in the cab of my truck, same...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Completely agree here in the basic form that Deerskins are plentiful. I just do not find many of the jackets in styles i would wear. As many thousands of miles I have driven all over in Northern, central & south-west Wisconsin, I finally "met" a deer in Northern Iowa a few years back. It was...

    Fedora Lounge Features - Report from Aero Leather Trade Week - By Craig Brown

    Yes - to you and Jin thank you. I also found the 'translate page" tab, so I got a little better idea. Now is nto the time for me to be buying another jacket anyway - but we've all said/heard/disobeyed that little voice. :)

    Aero motorcycle jacket size 44

    That's a shame, but FQHH for Horween is pretty intimidating for many folks. They just don't know what to do with it. You had the right idea - excersize in it and break it in.
