Wow... I've been away from the forum for a while now and happened to see this thread today... what a shocker. My experience with Mark years back when I got my Aero NYPD was a very positive one... friendly guy, got my jacket in 10 weeks from the time I placed my order. Sadly people change for...
Thank you so much for the kind words! Thanks for the explanation about pigmented leather. Looking at my jacket I'm not sure whether it has the protective layer of artificial, embossed grain versus leather with a transparent finish. If you have the time I'd suggest going to the website and...
Hello my friends!
Surgery was a success!! The surgeon arthroscopically went into my knee, drained a lot of thick blood clots and scar tissue that had accumulated in my knee for god knows how long, then discovered 4 areas in my knee (all capillaries) that were leaking blood so they cauterized...
Wow... very cool that you were on the pro beach tour... congrats! Sorry to hear about your torn ACL. Yeah, my knee surgery is a bit unique here... my main issue here is internal bleeding in my knee, not necessarily a structural knee issue like ACL, meniscus, etc. Doctor originally thought I...
Hey there! Haha... yeah it's definitely blue enough to match my blue car so this is my car leather jacket. :D
Not sure about the exact thickness, but I definitely wouldn't use my specific jacket to ride in... I'd feel more comfortable with a jacket either that has armor or is made of...
Greetings Gents,
I hope you all have been doing well. Sadly I'm heading into the hospital shortly for knee surgery due to my 3rd episode of spontaneous internal bleeding in my left knee (past 2 times were in August 2010 and August 2011). Doctors don't know why it keeps happening or where...
I agree with the others here in regards to just wearing the jacket... my primary method of breaking in my FQHH NYPD jacket was simply just wearing it as often as possible. My jacket arrived in the month of June so it was still too hot to wear it outdoors so I'd wear it inside my house at nights...
That's good to know. Actually I've lost about 10 pounds since my avatar pic (8 pounds of it over the course of 2 days due to severe food poisoning) so the cafe racer should fit. :D
I almost bought a used Veste de Rallye (I'm digging the longer length jackets in contrast to the shorter...
Yeah, I'm really digging the checkered lining (it has an automotive style theme to it that I like)... maybe I'll consider having Aero remove the black drill cloth lining on my Aero NYPD and replace with the checkered lining.
Is the checkered lining cotton drill cloth as well?
Very tempting... my Aero NYPD is a 46 but modified for extra room in the tummy area due to my abdominal hernia bulge... not sure whether a 50 would be way too large for me. Such a beautiful jacket too. :)
