    Anyone ever use leather firmer, or stiffening spray?

    I used a spilled pint of Guiness from a bar mate of mine to permanently stiffen the sleeve of a cheap A2. Didn’t realize that my arm was resting in a puddle of beer for nearly a half hour. The girl on the other side of the spill was really cute.

    Van Page Brown @HoosierDaddy, In Memoriam

    Oh no…. I did not realize until this morning that this thread was about the guy I knew as HD. He was the member who really influenced me to buy an Aero … and then a Thedi. I guess this speaks to his influence here. He really cared about helping others by sharing his knowledge. Van, you will be...

    Leather jacket custom ordering

    I think that looks good as well. I know a great many members here prefer shorter body lengths on the cafe or board racer styles; however, I feel yours is the perfect length for daily wear. The chest looks spot on, but the main questions is how it feels?

    Ordering from Aero vs Thruston

    As I recall, jackets through Thurston may have slightly longer body and sleeve lengths standard in almost all cases. So, if you are going full custom through Aero and are sure of the pattern fit, pit to pit, chest width, body and sleeve lengths, you should be okay. If you are not sure on any of...

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    I really like Aero, but make sure you know what you are getting in terms of the pattern and fit of the specific jacket you are looking at. Some jackets will be better suited for certain body types and some are better for layering over a hoodie or jumper. As mentioned before, Thurston Brothers...

    Name for this type of jacket? Safari? Travel?

    I would call that a Barn or Chore Coat. The rear pockets are unique and reminiscent of a shooting jacket but too dang small for any birds I have ever hunted. Mouse hunter’s jacket maybe??

    I need a little help / advise

    Just a thought on the collar issue.... What about using a steam iron (over a wet cloth to help force warm moisture into the collar before shaping??? Experts please tell me if I am crazy.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    The shoulder width is good but everything else seems just a touch too big. If you want to layer, the chest would be okay. However, I think it would look better with .75” shorter sleeves and 1” off the bottom hem.

    Jackets in Italy? What to check out while in Tuscany

    It is not the same game as it was even 10 years ago when there were many family run craft shops in the Florence area. Sadly, many producers have switched to large mass produced operations using immigrant labor around Florence in order to be able to post a “Made in Italy” label. In many cases the...

    Aero Badalassi Leather - Black

    My fit jacket from Thurston was a Board racer in Tobacco Badalassi. I thought it was a wonderful leather, if a little noisy. I understand this diminishes over time. Many here love CXL on moto jackets, but you have to out a lot of work to get it to break in. As far as the color, black is...
