Your First Car....
^^ Edward -- Exactly! Simply lazy is one thought, not wanting to commit or take responsibility is another. In the USA - unless in a major urban center, having an operable car is a necessity. And yes the liabilites of using someone else's vechicle - or having to rely upon your "friends" is a...- AeroFan_07

Your First Car....
In the late 1990's I was helping with a rental home in the central suburbs of Chicago. A person called to possibly rent a room in that house and showed up driving a box truck owned by his work. He stated proudly that he had chosen "not to own a car" but rather relied upon others to give him...- AeroFan_07

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
Hyped? Oh golly can you say "yes" fast enough? Truth be told - 98% of folks who see any of us in our jackets cannot even tell what they are, let along how much work went into making them, and then even less have any clue the work we all went through just to get that perfect fit. Golly, it's...- AeroFan_07

Leather Souls videos
Fascinating. Just watched the first two. How it was, how it likely never will be again. Did you catch the "100 tanneries" line? 100 in Peabody, MA alone? Wow!- AeroFan_07

ELMC Californian Black sz. 44R
Rats! That sleeve length frustrates me (but it likely worked for you, so no offense) :) If that were a 26" straight sleeve length, I would give it a try. I really like the black Shinki HH of this jacket. In any case - GLWS!!!- AeroFan_07

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Late to this deal, but Jonbuilder - I am so very sorry for your loss. Very sad to have to put one of your best friends in all of life down. And who could ever resist this cute mug? :) And yes, to the one who said the pups were put on earth to teach humans how to "BE" you are exactly right.- AeroFan_07

Aero Steerhide jacket model help
Speaking as one addict to another - regarding CX Steerhide - if you try it, you will like it. And no negative side effects with Steer. As with most of the Chromexcel hides, it will feel rather stiff and hard when you first put it on. Give it 15-20 minuites. It's amazing how it softens up and...- AeroFan_07

How long is reasonable?
Some good news. Maybe he knows about this forum? You make some really good points here. Between Jacket and boot makers hand-building thier wares, along with Cobblers willing & able to repair and re-work them. This is true in a number of other industries as well. Seems if something cannot...- AeroFan_07

Freewheelers Horsehide Tear - Repair Recommendations
Dena is great and she will be able to help evalute the best options. She is on here but does not post too often. As to the jacket itself -if you are the original owner, I would reach out to FW directly - this is a highly expensive jacket and it would be good to give them a shot at repairing it...- AeroFan_07
