    Before And After

    Hopefully it'll show up in the TFL classifieds. With free shipping. And yes, I'm an asshole.

    Before And After

    I hope the homeless guy's jacket isn't veg tanned ... he needs to get himself a CXL piece to properly ward off the rain. Is that insensitive?

    Wow. What does that beast weigh?

    Eastman (ELMC) Throws Their Hat in the J-100 Ring

    Looks like a Himel Kensington in many ways, especially with the double stitching along the main zip and chest pockets, and the gussetless sleeve zips. I have read that the earliest J100s used double stitching in the same areas, so perhaps Gary, like the Himel boys, patterned the jacket after...

    Acceptable leather jackets for professional settings?

    Sorry, but this just looks like shit. In my humble opinion, of course. Four guys trying WAY too hard ...

    Klim Fifty 1 Riding Jean Review

    PN - thanks for the review. They sound promising. Is the Kevlar where the green panels are in your pics? If so, that's probably how they kept the price down -- not fully lined in Kevlar. The upside is that if they aren't fully lined, they'll be cooler on the bike.

    Acceptable leather jackets for professional settings?

    Leather blazer? Never acceptable. Ever. Outerwear for use to and from the office? Many options, as others have started to note. But still have to be careful.

    Thedi Padded Cafe Racer in Italian HH

    I've seen many of your fit pics of various café racers you've picked up. Indeed, I'll always open a thread where I've seen you post, because you have had so many jackets in the last year or two and often times we share a similar taste. I'm a brutally honest guy, so I'll just spit this out...

    Recommendations for Riding Jeans

    Man, riding pants that aren't ugly are a rare breed. I've got a pair of Ugly Bros. motorpools that look good and have armor in the hips and knees, but they are simply denim with no Kevlar. I have a pair of Aether compass pants which are nice, but they run crazy long and I spent too much...

    New jacket issues

    ^ True. Good point. But I still think that the Highwayman is a tough style for most of us to pull off well. I've tried, and certainly had zero success.

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    Thank you for the honest comment. Technically speaking, I think you are absolutely right. But most often (90 plus percent of the time) I wear my leathers casually, and casual for me means going untucked a good deal of the time. With a bit longer length, my untucked shirts fall just above the...

    New jacket issues

    Yep. Take a look at eBay right now. I bet more than 50% of the Aeros for sale are Highwayman...and its always like that. They just don't work for many people. But you sir...it doesn't get any better than that fit for that style of jacket.

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    Well, I'm not sure that's exactly what we're seeing. My 40L measures only a half an inch longer in the body than a 40R. Mine measures 24.5" -- the regular is spec'd at 24". I primarily went with the long because I needed more sleeve length - the long gave me 1.25" extra (actual measurement)...

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    Exactly. Seriously, the sleeves are fantastic. They are quite slim without being too tight, and visually appear to have a nearly constant diameter all the way up, although they do not. I detest sleeves that have too large a diameter -- just looks sloppy. The sleeves are perfection, at least...

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    Thanks everyone. Nice that just about everyone agrees on the same issues -- handwarmer pocket location and belt height -- they're the issues I noticed when I first slipped it on and took that all-important first look in the mirror. Someone mentioned that they thought the chest pocket was too...

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    Terry - your pics/vids of the Californian is one of these reasons I picked one up. Thanks for posting up those resources. Sadly, I don't think the hide on this one will approach the character yours has, but who knows. Despite a closet full of them, I've had an extremely tough time acquiring a...
