    A tale of two jackets

    Two A-1 jackets. "Used", but these both were very pristine. Same seller. Closing within 15 minutes of each other. The Aero: $510. The RMC: $1345. I've never seen a Real McCoy's in person, so I don't know how much better it is than an Aero, but I think given the choice between one used RMC...

    Aero Board Racer

    Latest acquisition Comparing to the Aero Cafe Racer, it's quite different, despite seeming very similar. The (black , CXL FQHH) leather is already well broken in, and very soft. Love the leather. The lining is great, too. I'm not crazy about the wind flap on the main zipper -- it gets...

    eBay coupon code: 15% off anything

    Ebay is running a 15% off anything coupon code: PRONTO15. Good on one transaction only (so add multiple items to cart before using it.) https://www.ebay.com/sch/cmsk1234/m.html

    M-65 field jackets

    1) Unsure of the maker or vintage. Zipper pull is unusual. It's at least a few decades old. It's in really nice condition. Men's medium regular. (5'7-5'11", 37"-41" chest) $90

    Aero teases new website soon

    And they're making their photo sample jackets available on the sale page in the near future. So that's something to look forward to!

    Shields leather

    This jacket caught my eye: https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/253745625854 I really like its design, and in white leather with gold stitching it is striking. Fortunately it's too small for me. [emoji16] I haven't heard any talk here about the maker, though. Is anyone familiar with Shields?

    Sears Vertical Zip Map Pocket motorycle jacket

    I wanted to start a thread on this style, to try to create a knowledge repository for what is an unusual, distinctive, and uncommon style of vintage motorcycle jacket. It doesn't seem that there's an official name for this style, which makes it harder to search for... Accordingly, I'd like to...

    Aero Indian Ranger design updated

    Caught wind of this on Aero's instagram feed: I would presume that their customer "yomysteryo" is our own @Mysteryo... Can you give us some more details, Mysteryo?

    Aero Half-belt

    Here's a few photos taken yesterday while I was out in my recently acquired Aero Half-belt. This one is really nice. Heavy horse, and I don't think Aero is sourcing anything this heavy currently. I have it listed for sale in the classifieds, but to be honest I'm not sure I want to sell it. It's...

    McDonald Leathers of Spokane, WA

    I am starting a thread with the hopes of collecting more information on this maker. About a year ago, I picked up a pair of McDonald Leathers motorcycle pants from a seller on ebay who was liquidating the estate of a former motorcycle cop. The same seller had a very nice looking Cal Leather...

    Himel website updated

    Himel Bros. updated their website recently. I don't know how recently, but they REALLY did a nice job with it. All the leather, lining, etc. options are now illustrated, so you can actually see what your selection looks like, rather than pick a text label from a pulldown list and then...

    Horween CXL in the heat

    Everyone here knows that Horween CXL leather is pretty stiff in cooler temperatures, and will become more flexible at warmer temps. I usually wear my Aero jackets in cooler weather, opting to go jacketless or with something lighter when it warms up, so I only knew about this phenomenon from...

    Aero King of the Road compared to Sears D-pocket

    @Gamma68 was nice enough to sell me his Sears Leather Shop D-pocket. I wanted to compare it against the Aero King of the Road that I bought a few weeks ago. Size: Aero: 42 Sears: 40 Weight: The Aero is much, much heavier, stiffer, thicker. It's not even close. Aero: 8 lbs Sears: 4 lbs The...

    Guppy's Leather menagerie 2018 post

    Time to retire the old post, clean it up, and add a few new offerings... Rather than listing them individually and bumping them one by one, I thought maybe it'd be easier to list what I have for sale all in one post. These are all very nice, wearable, high quality pieces, mainly selling...

    One that got away

    I noticed this beauty on the Aero sale page, but I told myself I didn't need it: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=3591 Then I noticed it had sold. Wasn't surprised, well other than that it hadn't sold sooner. Then a few days later, it popped up on the bay. I watched...

    Limited Edition Schott Perfecto in Horween

    https://www.schottnyc.com/products/irving-limited-edition.htm Schott calls the color burgundy, but it looks like it might be cordovan. A bit pricey at $1250. They're only making 50 of these. I really like my D-pocket 1928 pattern Schott CX113 in natural Horween.

    New Thedi styles

    Aero King of the Road

    Just arrived. A trim fitting 42 that I can wear like a second skin. It is still stiff, and quite thick. The J-106 seems to be the favorite Aero D-pocket on the Lounge, followed closely by the Ridley, but I think you have to give props to the King of the Road. It's super heavy. Weights about...

    ELMC Windward dilemma

    When I bought my Windward, I bought a 44, because I'm generally a size 44 and the measurements looked good for what I usually fit. Fit was very good, but just a bit restrictive in the chest. I wore it a few times, and gradually it felt better and better as it broke in. But still always a bit...
