    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Thurston Bros will get Aero to make you a new jacket since it is not within the. 5" tolerance. You will just have to wait another 12 weeks for it. Mine showed up with a 16" bottom opening instead of 18". The new jacket is perfect at 18". Now I can wear any pants, belt, or top without bursting...

    A little wider in the hem and a little longer. What does it look like in the back unzipped?

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    I notice "fake" fasteners, buckles, buttons and snaps more. I don't want to see them on a jacket if they are not functioning. Trucker/ western jackets often grab my attention. More often than not the person wearing it can not fasten the bottom snap or two. That is with the side cinch in the...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    When they ask it usually means what hangar do you keep your plane because they want a ride. Quite a few pilots ride motorcycles to the airport.

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    That happened to a friend of mine. He wore the "Captain America " style gear when he had a sport bike. Then he bought a Harley and flipped to a very low key style. You wouldn't know he had a bike.

    Looking at ordering an Aero leather jacket...assistance if you will

    It also depends on what you are doing. If your mostly sitting ( movie, restaurant,desk )mobility isn't very important. If you can easily change lightbulbs, raise the car hood, reach for something on the top shelf at the grocery store, put the star on top of a Christmas tree without any...

    And then you have the Helite turtle 2 airbag vest. Or airbag jackets for enhanced protection.

    Cockpit nylon B15 sizing

    Cockpit will give you the exact garment measurements if you are persistent. It took me 5 emails to get to the point. Basically they didn't have anything with long enough arms for me. So I returned the jacket at my expense. I ended up paying for shipping both ways for a jacket that didn't fit...

    Looking at ordering an Aero leather jacket...assistance if you will

    Go up at least one size. You will never be able to put anything in the pockets and get the jacket zipped. And if you do you will tear out the zipper as soon as you aren't standing at attention. I would want to have the side fasteners at least half way closed with a comfortable relaxed fit and...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    I see quite a few people who are attracted to a style and then buy an accessory to fit in with that crowd. Think of the guy who buys a motorcycle but never rides. However his wardrobe would convey the idea that he practically lives on the bike. The guy with an airplane that never leaves the...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    When I see someone in a biker jacket and they also have a depression in the top of the left boot I ask about their bike. If the footwear has never touched a shift lever it's obvious they don't ride. Unless the depression is on the right boot because they ride a Harley Davidson 250 Sprint from...

    Real Mccoys Buco J-24 Fit Advice

    Looks good. Maybe too tight across the shoulder, especially the back of your neck looks like a pressure point. I like the sleeve length.

    Show us your photography

    Aerial photography is very difficult and expensive. Getting all the variables to line up at the same time is quite challenging. Wrong sun angle, too bright, too cloudy, shadows from clouds, trees, buildings... Circling around and around for the right moment. Sometimes it never happens.

    Show us your photography

    Before September 11 you could see the Goodyear and Sanyo blimps flying over many major sporting events. Also banner towing planes. Since September 11 any flying above a crowd is prohibited. It basically put quite a few aviation businesses out of business. And no more aerial photography.
