    New Schott Perfecto 618 Horsehide peeling... :(

    Personally i don't have a problem with these marks. A fingernail scratch can easily leave a mark like that on a jacket, all my worn jackets have similar marks after a while, it really isn't a problem or a sign of poor quality. Now if the top coat starts peeling off like a sunburn then you have a...

    Lookin' for a Storm Rider

    It is indeed black corduroy on the collar, and it has a blanket lining. I am 6'2" 180lb and wear a M

    Lookin' for a Storm Rider

    Lee actually did a limited edition leather one that looks great, they come up on eBay pretty often and 2 or 3 have sold in the classifieds already.

    CXL thickness

    I'm not sure about this "natural variation" in thickness thing. Leather comes out of the cow or horse much thicker than what we see on jackets, something like 5mm. The leather is then split to desired thickness at the tannery, it just so happens that aero uses 3-3.5oz CXL. The variation in...

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    I have worn only raw denim in the past 10 years or so and i have to say i don't have any problems with premature underwear death... Maybe switch to raw denim underwear?

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    I don't have any real data to prove it, but i think leather cracking in the neck is due to sweat/skin oil buildup that doesn't get cleaned regularly and attacks the leather. If i wear a jacket when it is pretty hot and get a sweaty neck i will usually wipe it down with a damp cloth at the end of...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's a size 10 spring loaded Crown, i have them on all my LW and they are without a doubt the finest zippers i have tried. They are NOS from the 40s-50s i think and are not made anymore. Technically you could put one on anything, it's only a zipper, I know Langlitz has a few in store, i guess...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey muscle, I removed the belt loops, the back dip, the badge holder, and the collar snaps, also removed the sheepskin from the wrists and had it replaced with deerskin like on the Leathertogs. I also had him use a Crown main zipper and some no 10 nickel C&C zippers for wrists and pockets. I...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Red is the colour i wear most day to day, i have a bunch of red shirt and red jumpers, red hoodies but I always thought red leather was a bit much. This one made me want to give it a go...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thanks to @Monitor this beauty is on its way to me. Hopefuly it doesn't take three months! Pit to pit might be a bit small for me, fingers crossed it fits.

    Jackets like sheene

    Alexander Leathers, now Simmons Bilt made me an almost Sheen a few years ago, basically the regular Cafe Racer with a HWM collar. I am sure they would still do it, with or without action back. It's basically identical to the Aero, but cheaper and you have different choices of leather than what...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Straight out of the box, only 5 minutes of wear to check the sizing. The leather is i think my favourite up to date, i am pretty sure it is thicker than my previous 2 LW, and is loaded with grain and stretch marks, just what i like! Fit is perfect, the change to the pattern came out great, fit...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's more to do with bad patterns than it is with the heaviness of the leather. I barely wear my Aeros, cause like you i find them uncomfortable, but i am currently living in my LW jackets, they are thicker, heavier than CXL, but they have well desinged patterns and are comfortable to wear...
