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

    I was weak... Schott 621, these were made in 84 & 87 and then another run in 97, not sure yet when this one is from but it looks pretty much unworn.

    what do you use the "ticket pocket" (zippo pocket) for on your m/c jacket?

    We don't all live in Chicago!

    what do you use the "ticket pocket" (zippo pocket) for on your m/c jacket?

    The D pocket is my most worn and my favourite style of leather jacket and i have worn both with and without ticket pocket extensively: I have often tried to stick things in the ticket pocket of my LaBrea only to remember at the third try that it doesn't have one. IMO it is something that is...

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    The way i see it, we have pictures and examples of Durables with all the correct details, but not a single picture or example of a Schott with the same details. This to me points to the fact that the jacket was a Durable. If it isn't a Durable, and even though Schott doesn't have a a picture or...

    Looking for my first Quality Motorcycle leather jacket Aero，Vanson，Schott

    You only say that because you haven't experienced the greatness of a Vanson with finished sleeves! That's why the Commando is the ultimate Vanson...

    Are the letters painted leather patches? Or fabric?

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    And its not like this evo took that much wear. I have too many jackets to wear any intensively, this Schott is pretty much my gym going jacket as it's the only one i have with a hanging loop. It gets worn on public transports from my flat to the gym and hung in the locker room, that's it. You...

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    If i were you i would do nothing, just wear it. I just had a quick look at my Schott 644 that has the same hardware as your 641. Mine have definitely lost a lot of their shine naturally in the few years i have worn it. (i think it is from 2013) Something worth mentioning, the metal beneath the...

    Looking for my first Quality Motorcycle leather jacket Aero，Vanson，Schott

    You are comparing what is IMO the most comfortable patterns i own (Vanson) to the least comfortable patterns i own (Aero). Aero are great looking jackets, but they are really behind in pattern design IMO. The weight of the jackets rest on the neck rather than the shoulders and range of movement...

    Cal-Leather

    You have to admit that's not normal... You shouldn't have to PM some dude on a weird forum to get in touch with a store! (especially if he is called Keyser Soze) I have sent three emails and called a few times and everything was ignored, after the whole Goodwear debacle that doesn't make me want...

    My grail jacket!? Aero Premier Highwayman tumbled brown FQHH

    Stupid question: What is the meaning of a "grail jacket"? I get that it is a reference to the holy grail, but shouldn't that just allude to the fact that something is hard to find? In this case it isn't, since anyone can can order exactly the same jacket and have it delivered in a few weeks...

    What's your favorite leather (Poll)

    My favourite leather is usually the one i am currently wearing! I can't think of anything that would objectively make LW better or worst than Shinki, CXL, X150 or any other high quality leather. Subjectively, my favourite leather when it is warm is Eastman HH. My favourite leather to be...

    Looking for my first Quality Motorcycle leather jacket Aero，Vanson，Schott

    I agree with @dinomartino1 that Shott is not on the same level as Vanson and Aero. I would not pay new price for a Schott when you can have a Vanson or an Aero for the same money or less and end up with a better made jacket. And i say that as someone who has 3 Schott jackets and is about to bid...

    Himel Grizzly 38 and Aero Badalassi A1 40

    +1 Didn't want to ruin your new jacket day, but i thought the same thing, IMO its really not the right shape for you. Its all wrong in the shoulders and too wide in the waist because of the bottom knit, it really made you look like an upside down U.

    Aero/Thurston: How customizable is customizable?

    I have not dealt with Thurston, but from experience with Aero all i can say is "it depends" Some things they do, some they don't, you can usually swap back yokes/gussets, collars and cuffs, and sometimes pocket layout. If they feel that your idea isn't a good one, they will say no. If they feel...
