    Storm cuffs?

    Sounds reasonable to me, go for it. That’s what’s great about Aero, they are so accommodating you can have what YOU want. James.

    Any thoughts on Lewis Leathers?

    I have recently been looking for a 60/70s Lewis leather M/C jacket but have not found any I like so far. I am now thinking of a new one, possibly a lightning. They are expensive! About £630.00 I know they are hand made in London and much of the price is for the heritage but I am struggling...

    Hercules / Buco MC Jacket?

    Just bought this motorcycle jacket which was thought to be a 60s Hercules. I am thinking it may be a 50s Buco. The jacket has been re-lined (very well) but has lost its label. Has anyone got any ideas as to who made it and how old it is? I have been looking for a jacket of this...

    Vintage Horsehide bomber I bought for £25 !!

    Interesting jacket and a great buy at £25.00. Seems unusual to find a horsehide jacket made in England in the 70/80s don’t you think?

    Two Half Belts Here is my £25.00 bargain: late30s/early 40s ‘Daniel Boone’ half belt. It is a very fine jacket, very soft cape skin and feels great. I have carried out some repairs to some pretty awful tears on the shoulder by using flexible glue to stick down the torn flaps of...

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Hi Dean, I have found Webshots easy to use: http://www.webshots.com/ I am guessing the extra seams are for the heated wires used on some Irvins? Looking forward to the pictures to see if I’m right! Not sure if this will work buts its a link to posting pictures...

    Quality of manufacture for leather coats?

    Interesting debate. I was once taught that ‘quality’ is the ability to best fulfill a requirement. If you require a low cost, economical, reliable car then a Lada would best meet those qualities (well maybe not reliable but you get the picture). Whereas a Rolls Royce would not, as it does...

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I shall leave the cuffs for now and see how they wear. Will try some bigger gauntlets!! Thanks for all your comments. Speedster, your ALC is looks great, nothing better than a well worn Irvin. The sun back out today so it’s on with an A2 anyway. Cheerio for now James

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Andrew, Only yesterday I said to my girlfriend that I was thinking of trimming the cuffs!! Not only for aesthetics, but to make it easier to get my 1940s gauntlets on. If I’m feeling brave I may do just do it. Hope I don’t mess up an expensive jacket:eek:

    Seems to me WPG make a great jacket for the money. Good news: the weather has turned cold again here in middle England. Irvins need not be mothballed just yet! :D Cheerio for now James

    My new AERO Beacon NY Smooth Horsehide A-2

    Hi Raul, I don’t think that you can get a better fit than that. At first the sleeves looked a bit long but in my experience with Aero horsehide you will find that when the sleeves crease up they will be perfect. Personally I like the shorter jacket length on Aeros. Looks right to...

    Aero Irvin review Hi all, Weather just getting warmer here so I thought I would post more pictures of my Aero Irvin before I put it away until next year. Sort of a review really. I would welcome any thoughts you may have on this jacket. As mentioned before it’s a pre war pattern in...
