    Aero wool and leather Halfbelt

    I haven't seen many people wearing these either. Nothing against the jacket, but I don't think this is my style. I like a jacket to be all wool, or all leather, on the outside. There's very few two-tone looks that do it for me, and I'm not sure why that is. For me, a wool could have...

    JL repro of a brando jacket

    This looks like something Nicolas Cage would own.

    Beck 666r ? I have this old beck jacket in amongst my collection of schotts . All my schotts are 44" this is a jacket I bought years ago . I was told

    I don't know that much about the original Beck jackets. They seem to be pretty well regarded among vintage collectors. There are reproductions of the 666 made by Toys McCoy, which I really like the look of, especially the leather they are working with is just gorgeous. The shoulder gussets...

    Show your Langlitz

    Yep, that's the right fit. Glad to see you got it just right.

    ELMC Windward Alternatives

    Vanson Gambler, exclusive through Thurston Bros. It's the same shell as the Raid, but with some nicer leather options and lining options that would let you keep the softer, more upscale aesthetic that you want. Used elmc is great, but they come up rarely.

    Scam alert!!!! Beware of Walker Pinkman

    That's what we call the administrators here. I'm not sure who they all are, but @Edward, @MK, and @Nathan Flowers are a few of them (perhaps all?)

    New Aero Highwayman Bleed Through Lining

    What makes you think that? I've had some dye rub off the topcoat onto light colored fabric with a brand new jacket, but it didn't persist very long, and washed out easily.

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    G1 looks more military (because it is)/law enforcement, while the half-belt looks more civilian.

    Aero blackened brown or soft steer?

    Vicenza is a soft and pliable leather. You would probably like it.

    Vanson Model A or Aero Cafe Racer

    5 years ago was right around the time Vanson lost the old supplier of comp weight leather, so it's a good bet that it's some of the last of the original stuff. Snap it up.

    Wtb- schott p623h LARGE or schott CONTEXT 113?

    I have one, yes, but I'm not looking to sell it, which means someone would have to make an offer I couldn't refuse to get it away from me.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I've sold four or five jackets in the past month or so, and I think around 8 on the year so far, which is more than usual for me.

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    According to the emails I got from Vanson recently, they're quite busy, not dead. Kim replied to me about 3-4 days after I first wrote, and thereafter was responding same day or next day. I'm expecting some leather swatches from her. They seem to be doing well... (Albeit, there's still some...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    I'm not calling anyone out, and I don't have anything against The Flat Head. I haven't seen one of theirs in person, but they do look good. I think you did imply something about Langlitz's craftsmanship, comparing it to THF as lesser - - unwarranted if you have any knowledge of Langlitz. The...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    LOL, Langlitz is in no way inferior to Japanese craftsmanship. Just look at what used Langlitz sell for in Japan. They're more expensive than new Freewheelers or Flat Head in many cases. The grass is always greener.

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    Everyone is talking about Vanson, but I see the Flat Head taking inspiration directly from the Langlitz Cascade. Which is already such a good jacket that I can hardly imagine that Flat Head has any improvement on it.

    Leather jacket painted portrait removal

    It'd be a different story, I think, if the artwork were done by a known comic book artist, particularly if they had a special connection with Batgirl. Perhaps if Batgirl had wider appeal, I suppose it would help. The painting itself isn't poorly done, but I don't think Batgirl has a big...

    Fox Creek -A Versatile Riding Jacket

    I don't doubt that they function just fine. I just don't like the way they look. There's plenty of motorcycle gear with vents where they look good, integrated and blended into the design in a way that is attractive and stylish. The Perfecto style jacket with extra zippers near the armpits just...

    Leather jacket painted portrait removal

    I've been looking for that same Toys McCoy's Beck 666 in size 44, and saw this come up weeks ago, and I passed on it. It's not any cheaper than a new unpainted one. I don't like the artwork, and I wouldn't value it at any less than $-950.00. Meaning if the jacket were only $50-150, I'd consider...
