My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!
Thank you very much!! I'm shocked that I fit into this jacket, considering I thought I didn't fit in it 14 years ago and I'm now 205lbs versus the 160-170lb range that I was 14 years ago. I got really lucky here. :) Regarding the "marked blue places", on the opposite side of the jacket...- Navin323i

My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!
Thank you so much! Sorry I don't know your name either... I hate referring to people by their screen names... way too impersonal for my tastes. :) Mark Moye who is the Aero Leather USA rep has a Foster G-1 flight jacket that you're referring to. I sent Mark the pics of my Foster jacket and...- Navin323i

My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!
Grazie molte! Sorry I don't know your name. :) It's funny and ironic that the one jacket that I thought all these years never fit me is the one jacket that I own that fits me the best, lol. I look forward to seeing your Indian jacket pictures... is that the Bata one you are referring to...- Navin323i

My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!
Hello there! Thank you so much for the compliments and for the excellent info you provided. I was able to take my jacket to a well-known leather guy in my area here (he's an elderly Jamaican fellow who basically restores leather jackets, furnature, leather car interiors, and Coach purses...- Navin323i

My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!
My wife and her girlfriends all said the jacket fits me really nicely... do you all agree? I like how the shoulders in the jacket accentuate and compliment my broad shoulders. When I stretch my arms out the jacket goes back this far which is why 14 years ago I thought the jacket was...- Navin323i

My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!
You all are reading the post of a VERY HAPPY man right now... I feel like a little kid at Christmas after receiving the gift that he's always wanted. So here's the story... 14 years ago during my senior year in college, my older brother surprised me for my birthday and got me a vintage...- Navin323i

Pictured: the Stuart
Beautiful jacket and picture, Sir J. I like the buttons too, although I'd be scared to order a jacket with buttons in the event they become cumbersome to wrestle with or the button(s) pop off or something. :)- Navin323i

Aero Horsehide color pictures
Glad I could be of assistance to you. :) Is the cotton twill that you're referring to the same as the cotton drill cloth lining they sell? I'm familiar with the drill cloth but not the twill. I ordered my jacket with the cotton drill cloth mainly for durability and so that my skin doesn't...- Navin323i

Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?
lol Thanks Jon. :) I agree... that coat looks great on Fletch! Years back (or I should say decades back) my cousin's husband gave me a black leather trenchcoat that he bought in India. I really liked that jacket but unfortunately my older brother who back then was in college decided to...- Navin323i

Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?
^^^ Nice pics, Jan. :) I'm not so sure though about your comment about brown being easier to match with other colors versus black. All literature I've read on this subject indicate black is the easiest by far to match with any color.- Navin323i

Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?
100% agree with you... I don't see how black leather went out of fashion in the 80s... if that were the case then the market would have been flooded with only non-black leather jackets in the 90s and 00s. Black leather is definitely a classic and won't go away anytime soon. :) Correct on...- Navin323i

Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?
That is a great point about black hiding characteristics of the leather. The same holds true in the car-customizing world that I belong to... black tends to hide the characteristics of custom wheels when viewing wheels at a distance. Going back to leather, I've heard that black horsehide is...- Navin323i
