    Fit Check On Aero Premier Highwayman 40

    Doesn't look like excess material at all. With the Premier Highwayman you could even go up a size and it would still fit well, but I think this looks great. The goatskin has a really luxurious natural drape to it.

    Fit Check On Aero Premier Highwayman 40

    It looks like it fits well. Does it feel okay? Aero's goat should fit well right out of the box.

    Fit check: Aero Highwayman 36

    Ah, I think I understand what you mean. You like, say, the pocket layout or collar shape on some jackets that are of the more boxy variety? They can hook you up for some of those. Like they have a model (whose name eludes me) which is basically the Highwayman layout on the cafe racer pattern...

    WTB/Help wanted to build my winter heavy leather jacket

    Do not buy an "LC Schott" under any circumstances. Those are crappy jackets made by a French company (not Schott) that's the dealer for Schott in Europe, and the price is laughable (I would rather wear a cheap Five Star than a 900 Euro LC Schott.) As thor mentioned, a vintage LL Bean...

    Fit check: Aero Highwayman 36

    This is how the Highwayman is supposed to fit. It's an intentionally boxy jacket. If you size it such that it feels trim, then nothing will fit. You're best off returning both of them and getting a "Premier Highwayman" in 38. The Highwayman will never fit the way you want. Aero has a very...

    Schott CAF1: how to tame the flare?

    If you're okay with the broken-in flare of Marc's jacket, then rest assured that yours will get there with wear (to quicken it, you can wear it in the rain or, if you're very impatient like I was, you can wet the outside in the shower then put it on for a walk–however, if it's a very hot day I...

    Schott CAF1: how to tame the flare?

    That would be a very bad idea, imo. More relevantly, it won't work. If you got someone to go along with your plan, you would and up with a jacket that bulges at weird places all over because you forced together panels of leather that are not meant to go together. This design is supposed to...

    British Rocker Jackets c.1956-1969

    I've half-jokingly suggested we send some culturally niche but prized 'in the community' jackets like a Buco or Durable to Five Star in Pakistan to make a reproduction, but some of these British rocker jackets that fell through the cracks would be a genuinely ideal candidate for such a project...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Let's ask Schott. They might say 'no' even if they made it. lol

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I’m still crossing my fingers that someone goes full legend and gets matching assless chaps. The 20% off sale would be perfect for it.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This must be the specific Model B they based the Wolverine on. That one has a one-piece back, but the angled zips are right here–just extended on that jacket, which also lacks side adjusters like this does.

    Very nice jacket. The Classifieds would be the place to post it.

    Schott 141

    Yeah this kind of sleeve length:body length ratio is something I’ve never seen on Schott. (Maybe some of those late 2000s fashion models were like that, because the length of the jacket was 2-3” too long.)

    Schott 141

    Yeah, per the spec sheet, a lot of Schott models calculate their sleeve length shirt-style (in other words, the length of just the sleeve doesn't matter; it's the overall centre-back to sleeve end measurement that determines sleeve length.)

    Did any of you get the assless chaps?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Amazing. Is that the straight zip version of this old CHP pattern?

    Schott 141

    My Schotts from modern going back to 1960s have about 26" sleeves (larger or smaller depending on size, but that's the 'midpoint'/standard). That alteration seems rather obviously so.

    Schott 141

    That would be extremely strange.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Aero and Eastman make a wide range of (historically accurate and distinctly fitting) A-2 reproductions. Schott’s A-2 is a postwar civilian version. Excellent jacket but its equivalent from the others would be Eastman’s Air Comfort or Aero’s 1950s Flight Jacket.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Ha I brought something from a fake shop online, seeming to be in Germany, using PayPal. The 'seller' quickly–within hours–added a USPS tracking number (I think there must be a website where you can pull tracking numbers that delivered to a given city) for someone's Amazon order that delivered to...
