    Motorcycle Jacket

    Yes, it's not the same, but the inspiration were the english "lancer" jacket with padded shoulders of the late 70s/early 80s.

    Vintage "Snake Plissken" horsehide

    This is the jacket in question: This is the jacket in '96: The back: Rockabilly's jacket is very similar to the bootlegger indeed, this one has many different details...a pity that Aero doesn't offer buffalo anymore, I love their californian model. Imo Magnoli's jacket is too long...

    Opinions on the fit of my Aero 50's Half-Belt Requested

    The 30s half belt is snug but the shoulders are relatively wide.

    Vintage "Snake Plissken" horsehide

    Congratulations! I was looking for a Snake Plissken jacket for a long time, since I watched the movie the first time when I was...I think 9. The original jacket was surely a vintage (30s or 40s) motorcycle jacket, basically a D-pocket without ehm...D pocket but with a vertical zipper, a zippo...

    Opinions on the fit of my Aero 50's Half-Belt Requested

    I have approximately your numbers and I wear a size 38 30's half belt which is even more snug than the 50s pattern, however if you like it don't care about the comments of the people of the board, the jacket is yours!

    Who still makes a leather bomber jacket like this?

    Schott makes distressed G1s/A-2s like this one, that has a 80s feel: they were very popular in those days. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCHOTT-LEATHERS-NEW-AVIATOR-BOMBER-A-2-BISON-JACKET-SZ-MED-MADE-USA-/270858731048?pt=US_CSA_MC_Outerwear&hash=item3f10703e28#ht_4308wt_1163

    Vanson jacket from Insurrection

    The R is the top of the range 1098...slightly expensive bike, I'm poor and all I can afford is a Bimota YB9SR...

    Vanson jacket from Insurrection

    Yeah the Ducati does have a strange noise, but my friends who work there told me that the marketing department says the average Ducati customer loves that and the designers aren't supposed to fix it. However a pair of Termignonis usually cover the rattle of the engine.

    Langlitz just arrived... I guess I am a HH guy : (

    You need to find to find the right model, sorry Kevin, this time I cannot help you, I don't have the appropriate measurements! :D

    Pegasus D-pocket review

    Yes that was I meant, general finish and supple hide with very uniform grain, the Pegasus is however lighter than the LL because the latter are made of cowhide (horsehide is generally thinner, in this case it's about 3 oz) and they have a padded lining that make them more substantial. IMO...

    $500 for this motorcycle jacket,worth?

    It's spam and the jacket in the picture is stolen from the Schott website...

    a recent peacoat

    You mean like the hordes of germanic people with their powerful BMWs with blue and white registration plates who cyclically (every weekend) invade Riva del Garda for biking around the lake or Verona to see the opera in the Arena, recalling the place as the southern vanguard of the K.u.K.? Oh...

    Pegasus D-pocket review

    Yes their pictures are better than mine! :) I have own four Aeros, a D-1, a 2nd Hercules, an heavy steerhide HB and a custom Hyghwayman, I can compare the Pegasus with the latter twos, in particular with the 30s HB which is very similar in term of size and fit...both jackets are top notch in...

    New GW Werber 42-1402-P

    I prefer this one, the russet is nicer IMO. May I ask how long you had to wait for these good and wearable jackets?

    Langlitz just arrived... I guess I am a HH guy : (

    Mmm, I'm not a Langlitz expert but I don't think it's a cascade, and I think they should advertise more this model. Like Dortiz I always considered Langlitz to be the Cadillac, or the Mercedes, of this business and a product like this model would show they can also make things not in line with...

    Pegasus D-pocket review

    Interesting Tony, today I visited LL and I got a brochure: all the the double breasted jackets were indeed called "lancer jacket", I assume it was the old british term for these jackets...that I like! For the zippers, the Ideals used on this D pocket are the same as the Aero Conmars...same...
