    Toys McCoys Surveyor Boots

    Looking for a new pair of boots and got these to try on. Now trying to decide if I’m going to keep them or not. I have to say that I love the way they look! Just not sure about fit and comfort. I can tell that the leather will be tough to break in but that’s OK. And the heel is taller than I...

    Behind the scenes look at Aero

    I don't think anyone's posted this yet, a brief behind the scenes look at the Aero factory by my mate Olly Walker, who does a regular moto themed series of short videos called Blow Out the Cobwebs. In this one, about 7 minutes long, he visits the factory to get his jacket made. Includes a...

    Repainting windbreaker lettering?

    I have this cool old windbreaker jacket from when my dad worked in the steel mill. It’s a Pla-jac, probably 30 years old and in great shape, except that the lettering on it has seen better days. I’m wondering if it’s possible to have it repainted? Any suggestions?

    What jacket is your Daughter wearing today..?

    Ha, how's that for a variation on a theme? I was very happy to find this small women's Brooks CR on the Ebay (for a steal!) for my daughter, and I made her pose for some pics with me. She was not too excited about it, but did her daughterly duty for the sake of the board.

    Lady White pocket tee (L), NWT

    Brand new w/tags Lady White Gym Tee, ringer, with front pocket, size Large. These are great t shirts, and I have two in XL that I wear all the time. Decided to try one in L and it's a bit too tight on me. Haven't taken pics of it yet, but here is a link to their website with info and pics and...

    Help identifying this cafe racer..?

    This was a very cheap thrift store buy, and it’s pretty thrashed, but I like the way it fits and wouldn’t mind finding a better version of it. No maker label, and not many clues. Leather is pretty thin and doesn’t seem to be super high quality. Back is a single piece, with shoulder gussets...

    I have no connection to this sale, but just came across it: https://www.etsy.com/listing/604605491/vintage-tauber-leather-cafe-racer?ref=search_recently_viewed-5&pro=1 So cheap! I really like these Tauber's with the padded elbows and shoulders. A good find for someone who can wear a 38...

    I know nothing about the jacket or the seller, but came across this deal on a nice Reed cafe racer. Hard to beat for less than 50 bucks! Though a small size...

    Update on my Dave Sheeley custom jacket

    Got this custom made Dave Sheeley jacket last fall, and have worn it lots over the past few months. Getting some creases in the sleeves, but otherwise not much change so far. It's a great jacket. Love having the high-up handwarmers. Just figured I'd post some pics before it's put away for...

    Here's a pretty cool minimalist leather racing jacket...

    Not mine and I have no connection to the sale, but occurs to me it's a fairly rare jacket/racing shirt that some folks here might be interested in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-Vintage-1960s-Bates-Type-Cafe-Racer-Leather-Motorcycle-Jacket/163057519615?hash=item25f6fc4bff:g:R2oAAOSwtG9bAjl9...

    Vintage Schott cafe racer, brown, marked 46

    Picked this up recently, but it's a just a tad too big for me, at least as a riding jacket. It is marked as a 46, but fits more like a 44 I would say. I usually wear a 42/44 and this one fits pretty good for a casual jacket with a layer underneath; but I was planning on using it for riding and...

    My new Dave Sheeley custom jacket -- lots of pics!

    Okay, here are pics of my new jacket, custom made for me by Dave Sheeley, who did an incredible job. But I apologize for my inability to get pics uploaded properly! I used to use Photobucket, which no longer works, and I have tried ImgBB which I could not get to work. So I uploaded directly...

    Info on split-back Brooks cafe racers..?

    Just curious what folks know about the split back Brooks CRs that occasionally pop up. They have the older gold tag, and I gather that they are slightly older than the single piece back. Other than the split back, it appears that the main difference from the more common gold tag is the smaller...

    Barena Dogana Varatto Overshirt -- NWT, size 52/42, half price!

    I ordered a size 52 EU (42 US) of this very cool workshirt from Superdenim in the UK. It was half price, from $375 US to $187. It's a great shirt, but I need something a bit bigger. I can return it within two weeks, which I will do if no one here wants it; but that would mean doing a customs...

    Here's an interesting leather MC jacket from the Ebay..

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1950S-MENS-MOTORCYCLE-RACING-LEATHER-JACKET-HORSEHIDE/172602776480 It has some interesting features: Cross zip with cafe racer collar, and just that single pocket. A bit pricey for a no-name jacket, and who knows what it's actually background is. The lister...

    Red plaid/tartan lining for brown leather jacket..?

    Trying to figure out a lining for a brown leather jacket, and I have always been partial to a traditional plaid or tartan lining with some red in it, but I know that usually works better with black. So, wondering what you all think about it with a dark brown jacket? I like this basic buffalo...
