    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    I’m still a bit lost on why someone would want to modify the PHWM into a Speedway when the Speedway exists, lol.

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    This is the French calf, right? I was ready to buy that jacket, if not for it being a little too long for me and the lack of epaulettes/belt–the leather was just that beautiful.

    Your High School Jacket - if you could go back

    It was this, except in brown. Weird photo, though. This makes it look quite long but it's a fairly short jacket.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    If you want a Speedway, get a Speedway! That said I dissent from Canuck’s theory. My experience has been that narrow hems and extra length are as poor a pairing as the numbers would suggest. The combination very much does bunch and ride up.

    One Jacket To Rule Them All

    My one jacket years were with a much loved (and still worn) Barbour Border.

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    I like that it didn't develop that meat-red tone that most undyed veg tans I've seen do. I wonder if the conditioning prevented it, or if it's just a characteristic of this leather.

    Real McCoys BUCO J24 2018 Limited size 42 but more like a slim 40

    Lol this was the thread with the “people wear Aero because they’re obese” guy. I had forgotten where I saw him.

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    The brown is sort of a seal brown; I have a jacket coming up in it.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Great jacket! Not to be a downer but did you check measurements (at one point this jacket was about 21 PTP for a 44 lol).

    Cal Leathers Cross Zip CHP Size 42-44 (?)

    In the mean time I can say that the sleeve length of this jacket (I was the brief previous owner) felt just slightly shorter than my Schott Perfecto and Aero Ridley jackets with 26" sleeves, because the sleeve design of the Cal sort of incorporates the shoulder. I remember thinking they might be...

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    This is a masterpiece.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I know but the term (even granting department of redundancy department) is still funny and Legendary itself is leaning into it with the product name.

    Schott sale Ssense

    Practically, I totally get it. I realize what a random thing it is that I have a distaste for it. It’s a great feature especially for protecting gas tanks.

    LVC 40’s goat leather jacket

    Thanks for the review! Aero actually still makes this jacket (as you probably know, Aero developed LVC's leather line, and as part of the deal they are allowed to keep producing the jackets) by the name Speedway, so if anyone is interested, that would be the alternative on the market today.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Back when I ordered (a month and a half ago), they emailed me saying I should expect the jacket in about two weeks lol.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Have you received it? I'm still hoping it turns out good, for the sake of the people who ordered.

    Schott sale Ssense

    Most people here like them. My feeling is, if I'm gonna leave the belt undone, I may as well be truly nonchalant about it: I find that the "unfastened, but floating in place" snapped belt looks awkward: If I wanted a jacket that's only available with such a snap, I'd wear it belted every...

    Schott sale Ssense

    Either an old one or the description is mislabeled by that company that runs Schott France/Europe. The 519 is essentially the same pattern as your jacket and mine, although I wouldn't get it because I hate the belt snap lol, but many people here spec belt snaps on their custom jackets so it...

    Schott sale Ssense

    It was obscenely long when it launched, but now it's down to 26 inches, which is longer than I prefer but not terribly so.
