    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    I have a vicenza and dark seal and love it. I also had a fit jacket in Badalassi and liked it as well. I might have gone for it if they had a darker colored leather. It is definitely stiffer and noisier (finish coat squeaks a bit) but I understand that this goes away in a few weeks/months...

    Most great artists are not appreciated during their lifetime . . .

    There is a local shop here in Denver run by a Hungarian immigrant who learned the trade from his father and grandfather. We had a long discussion about this very issue when I was in to have a Schott altered. Frank started his business in the late 1960s and it was booming for 20+ years. He sold...

    Wood finishing for a vintage Weiman Dining Table

    That is actually a game table and you may destroy the value if you do anything more than simply refresh the finish with something like linseed or danish oil. It was probably lacquered in the 50’s and it may be hard to match the lacquer. However, a light oil coat rubbed with a microfiber cloth...

    Backpacks - need some ideas...

    That patch gives it a Junior Chipmunk Ranger vibe to me. Love the pack plain.

    New Aero Seven Arrived - Thanks for the Great Design Advice!!!

    I must admit that I am one of those people for whom many choices leads to decision paralysis. Could be a long visit.

    Aero Sunburst in Dark Russet Goatskin - Fit advice needed

    I think it fits as intended with a little room for layering. The shoulders seem good so any rippling in the back you see is probably just the pattern. The chest from the front looks clean. The only thing I would see having modified is raising the sleeve length a touch. I think that back panel...

    Aero Sheene made of unfinished horsehide

    I really like the stitching choice. It goes very well with the jacket and should age well with the leather.

    The Relapse

    The problem with this forum is that you can always point to someone else and tell yourself “I don’t have a problem. That guy has a problem.”. Unless you are Carlos, that is.

    New Aero Seven Arrived - Thanks for the Great Design Advice!!!

    We are there for a couple of days in June. Hopefully things may be fully open by then! I almost ordered an M200, but really wanted a Vicenza hide for my first nice jacket. I have seen some stunning deer hide and that may be a contender. Also considering a Himel Imperial if the budget allows.

    New Aero Seven Arrived - Thanks for the Great Design Advice!!!

    Unfortunately, Mitchell Leathers makes stunning leather briefcases just outside of Milwaukee. I would be tempted to drive up there for a spending spree if I was in Chicago!

    Aero jacket - some leather advice please

    Smart move there! My 12 week initial time stretched to 22 due the time period they had to totally lock down. Glad everyone there was safe and I was happy to wait longer than usual since it was not like I could go anywhere anyways! I ended up with dark seal vicenza. I personally have not fallen...

    My New JL

    I really like that on you! I think the chest size is spot on and will mold very well to your actual size.

    Jin: I think next on the list is a custom Johnson. I was considering the M200 originally then went with Aero for the Vicenza. I was really impressed with how Johnson worked with you on ensuring total customer satisfaction! My wife and I will be is San Francisco in June and I hope to be able...

    Thanks handymike. It was actually a photo of your Seven with the zippers on the back of the sleeve that started me down this road!
