    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I take two or three Aero jackets with me (usually two) when I am overseas on contract; when I go back to the UK (once a year; sometimes two) I rotate them. This means that a pair of jackets will get six months' continual wear (seasons, etc.). I'm lucky in that I only own six Aeros with a...

    Bad idea?

    I reckon that chopping it will result in short-term nostalgia and remorse immediately. It's a fantastic thing at the moment.

    Bad idea?

    I wouldn't change it. The longer length looks better, to me.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I re-watched 'The Leftovers' and am still struck by how good it as a meditation on grief. I also enjoyed both seasons of 'Black Summer' and am interested by the latter's knowing nods to zombie/stealth video games as well as the subversion of 'The Walking Dead's' sometime optimism.

    Leather Surgery Q

    I've not had any trouble with jackets in Shanghai/Hong Kong at all. I treat jackets with Renapur about every half a year and keep them in a cupboard with some dehumidifier gel boxes. I sometimes air them for a day in a spare room with the aircon turned on.

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I second the Aero Mariner. I got mine in dark seal Vicenza and it's a serious beastie. I preferred the Vicenza as it's slightly lighter (and more like goat) than heavier horsehides while still being really tough.

    Aero cafe racer in tan steerhide. I'll have to wait until I can fly back to the UK to get it :(.

    Questions about Thedi

    Sure, I'll post some. It's a great pattern and a really good go-to jacket, not too long or short.

    Aero Cafe Racer in tan Steerhide, size 42. It's going to be fun in the Shanghai winter. :)

    Russet Badalassi Patina

    I have the now not-unfamiliar urge for a new jacket. Does anyone have pictures of the patina this develops or how it fades over time?

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    Wait- y'all wear pants?

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    Anything apart from pleated trousers. Or shorts. Or sweatpants. You know my thoughts on those.

    If horsehide has been soaked for several days...

    ...but, if he's wrong, etc. :)

    If horsehide has been soaked for several days...

    A Korean leather tailor in Seoul also told me that hand cream was what he'd always used for maintaining leather.

    If horsehide has been soaked for several days...

    Yes, I dusted it and then shook it off. It's pretty much ok now. Heretically, I have found that Nivea hand cream is a good substitute for Renapur, Pecard's, etc.

    If horsehide has been soaked for several days...

    little dusting of talcum powder on the lining and all's well :)
