    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    Thanks, will give it a try if I can find a way to mask the leather around it well!

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    Thanks. Is that from permanent corrosion over time, or just a temporary dullness until it gets wiped off?

    He does seem to be wearing a 618 in that movie though.

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    Thanks. I contacted Schott customer support before listing, and I was told that they "would not dull much or tarnish" with age/use, so decided to do that. But seems like that may not be completely true.

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    Oh wow, thank you. All of the posts here were very helpful, but especially this one with pictures of the same hardware after a few years of use. Good to know it's brass underneath!

    Who has a hanger from Aero? Need measurements.

    I would sell them all. They are devil's vessels on earth.

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    Thanks, so you would just rub fine steel wool over the hardware until you get the desired finish? A few quick questions: 1. Are there any specifications that I should look for in this "fine steel wool"? You know, like how you buy a specific sand paper grit for a specific sanding purpose. Or are...

    Do Aero leather jackets come with a hanger?

    Thank you, that's good to know as I gear up to get my first Aero jacket. My Schott hangers all have different slopes!

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    Hello, I own the Schott 641HH, and I love everything about it except for the shiny nickel hardware (impressively heavy duty stuff though). So I had listed it for sale here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/fs-schott-641hh-horse-hide-in-size-36-like-new.98701/ But, I'm starting to wonder...

    Picture request: AGED Aero Midnight Blue CXFQHH

    Nice! What color shows through in the scratches/creases? Is it grey/black or more dark brown? Thanks!

    Picture request: AGED Aero Midnight Blue CXFQHH

    Oh I did not realize that. Do you know if it also has the brown base like the black CXFQHH does?

    Picture request: AGED Aero Midnight Blue CXFQHH

    Requesting pictures of a well-used Aero jacket in their midnight blue CXFQHH. I am very curious to see how well they age compared to the black CXFQHH. Thanks!

    Do Aero leather jackets come with a hanger?

    Schott jackets come with hangers that is sized to the jacket. Do Aero jackets ordered directly from them include an appropriately sized hanger in the box? If not, what is your source of good wooden hangers that come in specific sizes to match your jacket's shoulder width? The one listed in...

    Aero Cafe Racer Without Bi-Swing Back (Shoulder Gussets) -- Good Idea?

    Thanks, did that fit jacket fit square on your shoulders too or was it looser there?

    I want the stand-up / mandarin collar of the Cafe Racer.

    Aero Cafe Racer Without Bi-Swing Back (Shoulder Gussets) -- Good Idea?

    Thank you again. Yes, I agree that the silhouette looked worse with the gusset in your picture, but for some reason it does not seem to be the case in many online pictures. I have no idea what to make of it. I'd also think that theoretically, the gusset should allow that extra material to neatly...

    Aero Cafe Racer Without Bi-Swing Back (Shoulder Gussets) -- Good Idea?

    Thank you. I have read your thread several times over! And it's what prompted me to ask Aero and post this question here. As great a fit as it is on you, I feel like it's flaring a bit behind the shoulders, and that didn't change after a full year of wearing. My Schott Storm, for instance...

    Aero Cafe Racer Without Bi-Swing Back (Shoulder Gussets) -- Good Idea?

    Thank you. On the Sheenes without gussets, did the leather bunch up a bit behind the shoulders or make the jacket fit a little less closely to the shoulders compared to the one with the gusset? Any chance you still have at least one of each for a picture of the back with you wearing them?
