    "Slimming" an Aero

    Philalethes; The only possible way to have a jacket exactly the way you want it, is a full custom made to exact every measurement. As far as I know only Langlitz and Bates made their jackets that way, but your choice of jackets is not in their line up.

    New Lost Worlds Suburban

    I order the jackets without interlining, just the lining and leather hide. LW offer interlining on the PJ27 and the Buco Rider and Easy Ryder replicas, and I choose not to take it, with a 3.5/4 OZ hide and strong nylon lining there is no need for interlining.

    New Lost Worlds Suburban

    Brass in standard, aluminum is optional ( your choice or preference). I do not use interlining on any of my jackets whoever the manufacturer. Good luck. ( The Goodwear Buco J100 style is a casual jacket not a motorcycle cafe racer jacket)

    One last LW/Aero. Anyone try on both the Easy Ryder and Ace Cafe Racer?

    I read the original unedited post, and you have your answer dortiz. If you ride a motorcycle an action back, or bi swing jacket is a must, regardless of the brand, the quality, hides, stitching, etc,etc. In other words your Suburban is not a good riding jacket, for the...

    Leather Jacket Armholes

    It all depends what's your interpretation of comfortable,if your jacket is for casual use,or MC riding, if you like snug fit or loose fit, there are so many variables. I prefer snug fit jackets, and no so loose sleeves made for body builders arm trees. Up to this point the majority...

    New Lostworlds Questions Advice

    Sr. Ortiz; The Easy Rider it's a an MC jacket that can easily be wear as a casual jacket as well ( to play both scenarios 3.o OZ weight will be the ticket). The Suburban is not an MC jacket, you can use it for riding your bike, but there will be compromises ( no action back) like the...

    My LW Ryder after 8 months

    Thank you! We both agree in all counts! Good to know that you have jackets from all those manufacturers and you consider LW the best. I have one on order from Goodwear since last May, I'm anxiously waiting to get the jacket to make a comparison.
