I've always been a regular-collar guy in my jackets, but am just recently thinking of getting a cafe racer. But I keep thinking that the collar and/or the snap is going to be sticking in my neck in an uncomfortable way. Am I wrong about that, for those of you that wear them..? Or anyone have...
Just wondering how feasible/expensive it is. Seems like it would be a fairly simple procedure for a pro, as far as the cutting and the zipper installation. But I imagine getting matching leather (more or less) and making the gussets would complicate things a bit. Anyway, just wondering if...
Just got this very slightly used Californian, which was the prototype for the new Himel Bros/Goodwear collaboration. Naturally, most of you will recognize it from a regular poster here, who graciously talked me through various jacket issues and was willing to let this one go at a fair price...
So, I had for about a year a very nice size 42 Maxwell, which just felt a bit too tight in the chest and shoulders, especially for riding. Finally decided to trade it in for a size 44 Maxwell, and Denny at Aero was very accommodating and great to work with, gave me a fair trade value and put in...
Brand new Aero Maxwell, just received and tried on once, and I am afraid it's too big for me. So, brand new, still with Aero's tag indicated who made it in the shop. Brown FQHH, Loccharron Strome tartan. A few modifications from a standard Maxwell: cinch cuffs, no front chest pocket, full...
I am thinking of ordering, from Japan to the US, a pair of RDT mid-cut Coupen boots. Which I have coveted for some time, and finally found a dealer who communicates in English and has a pair in stock for me. But with a no return policy, I am naturally leery of sizing. I think I have a good...
What do you guys think, and any pics that might help? I have always been partial to a muted (maybe "weathered") red or reddish tartan liner in leather jackets, but am wondering if that is best for brown. Open to suggestions.
So, after spending the last two weeks or so trying to decide if I need to size up on my Aero Maxwell from a 42 to a 44, here are a few observations:
1. The relationship of measurements to size (ie, 42, 44, etc) is kind of all over the place, especially the Pit to Pit and Shoulder to Shoulder...
As i think about possibly ordering another Aero (probably Maxwell) I am wondering about going up from the current midweight tartan I have to a heavyweight tartan. I know the difference in "oz per square inch" as listed on Lochharren's website, but that doesn't mean much to me. Just curious is...
About a year ago I got an Aero Maxwell jacket, which I love in every way, except that I keep wondering if I want a size larger. My sense is that it fits pretty well with just a single layer shirt underneath, but as a winter jacket I like to wear more layers and then it gets very tight...
