    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    No expert here on leathers but the Badalassi feels unreal, any other way to describe it you've just done..accurately so. The mongrel MC is coming in black Badalassi and will be enamoured if it's anything like this one. With Winter round the corner the CXLSH Windward will be getting most use...

    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    One week in and this leather starts to break in wonderfully. Regular water spray with warm water and wearing until dry seems to have worked its magic. Also helped the squeaking as has reduced by about 75%.

    Not a long term member here but have found the place invaluable for finding out what I wanted to know ref leather jackets and types of leather. Started with a Schott A2 that I thought was the nuts, dipped my toe in the water with Wested which I thought was fine.....then found this place! I'd...

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    @MrProper Sent this photo of the rear of the Sheene ref sizing. I wouldn't want it any smaller on the shoulders and with the hem being 2" narrower it will slightly increase the 'V' shape. The order has been placed however, when Chloe calls to take the deposit I'll double check with her.

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    I asked Chloe re sizing as my Windward is a 46 and my Sheene is a 44. They both fit very well and mailed her photos of them being worn. I believe she spoke with Denny re sizing and she told me they'd recommend a 44 in the J106 as the fit was similar to the Sheene i.e. a slimmer fit than the...

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    Sticking with black stitching, have Olive drab stitching on my others and although I'm very happy with it decided to stay with black for this one. No, I didn't get to see the zips, just decided on the colours from the Aero site before I went up there.

    Now that's interesting! I admit to thinking that sateen and satin were the same thing and I'd have worried about it tearing easily. Thank you for that, appreciated.

    I went for the drill as I quite like the 'utility' look of it. The 3 Aeros I'll end up with...one has Alpaca, one has Minto tartan and the drill has plenty of time be re-thought about!

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    It does have a full action back and that's why I went for it. Not so much for the reach as I don't ride, more for the looks of it. it's a busy front so thought may as well have a busy back! Chloe suggested we went for the 44" which is the same as the Sheene as the J106 was a very similar cut. I...

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    ^^ Many thanks for that. Have to admit I'm blown away by the Badalassi and for some reason, I can't put my finger on why, I just don't fancy HH. I'll never be a collector, more of getting what I need/want and wearing them. Going to chat with Aero later today and go through what I want and what...

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    Within the next week or so I'll be ordering a MC jacket from Aero and was pretty well stuck on CXLSH. As ever, things can change! Living in the middle of the UK we don't get freezing weather too much so hovering over leather choice.... Current jackets are :- Sheepskin flying jacket for when...
