    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    great fit. THat's the "regular" cafe racer, not board racer right? I got the Sheene which is based on the Cafe because my body type is more V. Hoping mine breaks in and fits as good as yours.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    love the look. we have similar styles. Also starting to notice more and more Socal people roaming the forums. Was 105 by me today, but was still rocking my new Aero to break in. Albeit, I was indoors and in my underwear :D and had a new Akubra hat on as well LOL. Wife thinks I'm nuts.

    Ready to order Aero Highwayman looking for some input before doing so.

    can't add much on the lining. I have the lightweight tartan one and I haven't noticed it being uncomfortable, scratchy, or hot. Kind of out of mind, which I guess it what you want. Been wearing with t shirt and my underwear around the house LOL trying to break it in during 100 degree heat...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    good find. TY. If I only had green pants like that with matching bag, wow, the chances of that. Count the number of pockets in the picture. Guy can carry the keys, wallets and phones of a basketball line up.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    yeah, I'm trying to picture what it looks like on. Unfortunately no model photo on Thurston Bros site. But was thinking it's a little bit A1, little bit Cossack, little bit G1. I also thought about the zipper sleeves for contrast. Not completely sold on it. Generally the cossack seems baggy...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    just to keep playing the telephone game here. I want to take the cossack and change the hand warmers for something like this. So now that we've frankensteined it into existence (sleeves, zipper, button, pockets), I think we're good:

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    good looking jacket. what kind of leather did you go with and what color is the trim? More info you give us the better since their website leaves a lot to be desired. But I agree, everything I've seen so far is pretty darn good news.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I officially put in my order just now. Getting the "Mr. Proper" inspired Amelia Earhart. I made a couple changes. No underarm gussets and went with contrasting olive thread. The lining will be olive as well, cotton in body and satin in sleeves. And seal steerhide. I relaxed the...

    what a difference a week makes. Been wearing the heck out of my new Aero FQHH CXL. Around the house, once to bed, rolled it up into a head rest a few times. Wife thinks I'm completely bonkers. Definitely out of the "viagra" stage and more of a semi now :cool: But long way to go: Before...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    come for the jackets, always stay for the hats. Digging it and the other one posted above by Tmitchel. I got a few Sterkowskis in the mail. The peaky blinder style, basically 8 panel newsboy. Can't wait to get them on.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I approved my "Mr. Proper" Amelia Earhart style jacket this morning. HOping to get it end of next week. I went with heavy steerhide seal brown per Shawn's recommendation. I basically asked him, you got one chance to impress, which leather you want to send me? Measurements were quadruple...

    The exacting nature of leather jacket fits

    I went through a Schott phase where I bought several jackets in short time frame with some of the Covid inspired sales. I'd read the reviews and be confused by what sizes people would go with. Someone would say 5'10, 160 lbs, went with large, perfect fit. Then someone else would say 5/9, 165...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    thanks, Carlos. Really helpful. So funny about Schott, now that you say that, it's true, they do tend to fit short and wide. I have a love hate relationship with my 141, somedays I'm like yeah, this jacket is fire. Love how the leather feels. But the sides are a mess with the biswing...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    anybody hear of this Schott B3? Looks like a collab maybe, but if I'm reading everything right, looks like it's made from cow leather instead of the usual sheep leather. Every time I get really close to buying a used b-3, I'm kind of turned off by how they age. There's a lot of models made in...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I like that crease on the brim. Think you did something similar with your Bushman. With the overhead side shot, I can kind of see better how you did it. So basically, slight curl up on the sides and then you're pinching down the middle front, what a couple fingers? Just to flat or you have it...

    Ultimate Leather Conditioner Comparison (on Reddit)

    I think I've read in multiple places that Pecards is basically vaseline with some other waxes/oils. I know on the Schott forums over the years, vaseline was generally considered a big no no, along with silicone. With vaseline, supposedly, it definitely softens, but breaks down the fibers of...

    Converting chest measurements to Pit-Pit

    I have 43 chest. 23 p2p is very snug fitting, basically only room for tshirt. Couple other factors you need to consider. What kind of material? If it's broken in leather, you probably want 23.5 p2p if you want comfortable snug fit. Obviously more if you want more relaxed. But if it's new...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    love those examples. Keep us posted. In the meantime I am ordering your Amelia Earhart inspired jacket. The only change I made was to have contrast stitching with olive thread and obviously some dimension stuff to fit my body. And I will order in Premium Steerhide. I'll post product shot in...

    LOL. It's like Wilson from that Castaway movie with Tom Hanks. What's his name?

    Think I saw someone joke around about how they could stand up their horse hide jacket. Well, it ain't no joke... Thought I was making good progress after a few days on my new Aero FQHH CXL Sheene, especially after this morning. I had it hanging in the sun shine for like 20 minutes and once...
