    Freewheelers Caboose Jacket

    That is an amazing jacket. Some body frames just pull off certain styles better for sure. Having lived in all points in Japan (Sasebo,Yokosuka and Misawa), many American '50's style hangs on. You used to see so much of it in Harajiku, before X-Japan craze took over. This was all in the mid...

    The ultimate aviator style jacket...

    Head over to Club Obiwan and you will find a metric butt ton of Indy fans. If you think there are sticklers here about A-2's and G-1's, you aint seen nothing until two Indy fans start talking Indy jackets, fedoras and classic suits. Oh, and Alden 405 boots whether they be HF own boots he wore in...

    Looking at Bikes

    They are very capable bikes. Great low-end and you can set them up for touring as long as you do it solo and swap out the peanut tank for a 4.5 gal unit. They have so many options for them. Bobber them out or make them into fun cafe bikes. They are a bike of many faces. The great thing about...

    The ultimate aviator style jacket...

    If you google Harrison Ford leather jacket, there is a pic of him at a soccer game wearing an A-2 jacket with a sleeve pocket found on the CWU 36/45. I think it's a USA Authentic.

    Looking at Bikes

    HD Sportsters are one of the best HDs to buy used. They are cheap and plentiful on the used market. Often times they are sold as a "girls" bike or beginner bike, which is just about the dumbest thing I've heard about bikes. People will tell you they have small tanks and harsh rides. They do have...

    us authentic flying tiger jacket: lousy quality

    I have 2 jackets from them circa 2006 and '08. Both A-2s. One HH and the other in goat. The goat A-2 was a 46T and the color / texture were amazing. I ended up giving it to my son who is not gentle with jackets and treats it like a junior airman would have. It is still going strong. The HH A-2...

    ELC type A-2 Rough Wear 1401P

    A-2's just seem to get better the more you wear them like no other jacket. I think it's the HH that gives them that great look.

    US Authentic Indy

    I own 3 Indy jackets and only one is not a Wested. I also own 2 USA A-2's. One in goat and the other hh. They are great jackets. Very well made and worth the money. I don't understand why leather jackets have been creeping up in price over the past couple of years, but $500 is really starting to...

    ELMC Horse Hide G-1

    I think that is the only reason I don't own one of theirs either. Besides my issued G-1, I have two others. My favorite is a LW G-1. Wow, the leather on that jacket is some mighty fine goat. And it's a 48. Keeper for sure. But that HH G-1 looks amazing. R/ David

    Aero Teamster in Battered Seal

    Fantastic looking jacket. I wouldn't worry about the back and shoulders too much. I was always pulling on my sleeves to relax the shoulders a bit on my jackets as well. Time and usage will take care of all that.

    Still breaking in the new Highwayman-6 Months In...

    Great Looking HWYMAN. I noticed my Aero HB shrunk a little in the sleeves after wearing it in the rain for a couple of hours. I wore it around for another hour or so and now it fits like it really was made for me. Have you noticed the sleeves starting to wrinkle up a bit?

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Indeed you do. I only have one pair of boots that don't have a matching belt. My Allen Edmonds Chelsea boots in walnut. I don't ride in them so I don't worry to much ;)

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I always go with brown boots and brown jacket. Black boots with black jacket. Luckily, I only have one black leather jacket, a Vanson PLU-3 that I ride with. Most of the time I wear Clarks chukkas or Alden 405s with my Aero Half-belt, A-2 or G-1 jackets.

    Peter Botwright (Wested Leather), RIP

    Like so many others, I ordered my first Indy jacket from Wested in 2002 and was a great experience working with them.

    Every ride for the last few months has been in this jacket to do just that :). I've wanted a Vanson for the longest time and with the help of TB and Carrie, it happened.

    Aero "Black Soft Steerhide"?

    Great looking jacket you got there. I would call that a keeper. I was not so brave and asked for a fit jacket first from Carrie just so I know I wouldn't muck it up.
