    New Aero Hercules w/LHB bi-swing back

    "A millisecond of brilliant light and we're vaporized. Much more fortunate than the millions who'll wander sightless through the smouldering aftermath. We'll be spared the horror of survival." My generation didn't have to endure ISIS or Al Qaeda, but we did go through the Cold War and the...

    Getting a kangaroo café racer from Alan at Johnson's this week. It's amazing how light it is for the protection it affords.

    Comparison of new Langlitz and Aero Goatskin Jackets

    Langlitz uses top grain cow hide vs full grain. There may be some wisdom to this for moto jackets. That said, their goat is really good.

    New Langlitz Cascade in Black Goatskin w/ Brown Stitching

    Great looking and functional moto jacket, and a well thought out purchase. Looking forward to my Columbia, which is due end of March, but will likely come sooner.

    Is Rayon a good lining for later spring, summer etc?

    Rayon is my preferred lining for leather jackets. But if you sweat a lot, I recommend getting a darker rayon as water/sweat stains will appear and stay on rayon. YMMV.

    Mobile version sucks

    There's a link at the bottom called Default Style of you want the original look and feel.

    New member who needs some advice (likes Aero)

    You seem to like barnstormers but are put off by the belt. The LW Bedford you mention is a single breasted version, and looks fine if worn without a belt. That said, it looks like you're in the UK so I understand going with an American vendor might be inconvenient and more expensive due to...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Nomads are very heavy. I wouldn't try to hike in them. Perfect for riding, short walks, etc. FYI, the Nomad's per the forum do run a tad large; I wear 9.5 D in Red Wings and other brands but 9 D works for the White's. My feet are a bit on the wide side and I do wear a 9 E in Allen Edmonds...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Well I hope I will be able to wear them for more than one day and for more than one purpose. ;) Boots like these are like heavy leather jackets: they will take many months of wear and tear in a wide variety of settings to really settle them in. The good news is that I feel these boots are...

    Just got my new Whites' Nomads today. Wearing them now for a ride on the bike. Will post some pics tomorrow. Great quality, and the arch support is....interesting.

    Which one? Aero Eastman or GoodWear

    He could be talking about three jackets he ordered on EBay with return policies. That said, if LouisB is planning on ordering three new custom jackets, then I agree with Peacoat.

    Aero 50 s half belt vs 30s half belt vs highwayman

    If you have short legs, wouldn't a shorter overall jacket be more appealing?

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    Would have kept the A Lange & Sohne myself. But to each his own.

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    Vendors must be shaking in their engineer boots, considering how many forumites are seriously discussing 'cutting back' on jacket purchases. :eek:

    Anyone else think that "Oil Pull Horsehide" stinks????
