    FQHH - How much sleeve shortening I expected?

    Hello ErgaOm, I have been thinking and telling everyone that sleeves shrink by .5"-1" for a few years now. That is how it seemed to me on my first Sheene. I decided I would look up my old posts to help you with your question. Upon doing this, I decided to critique my "old self" and look very...

    Fit check Aero Premier Highwayman

    Hmmm...this is a bit tough. I am on the fence between saying the fit looks okay in the torso area, and agreeing with you that it needs to come in a little. I guess I am going to go with it needs to come in a little, but I don't think I would have said that without being prompted for my...

    Just arrived-New Aero Sheene-with fit pics

    Thank you Mich486. Same here. I wonder why the jerky doesn't get discussed/purchased more often? I thought I was "going out on a limb" with the jerky purchase, so it is nice to hear from others who have had good luck with the hide. I hear about Vicenza, CXL, Steer, Goat, etc., but I bet I...

    Just arrived-New Aero Sheene-with fit pics

    Thank you, rmconner80! As I was wearing the jacket again today I was trying to think about how I could describe how the jacket feels. Something came to mind. It may not be completely accurate, but I would currently describe a new jerky HH jacket to feel like a broken-in CXL HH jacket. Does...

    Just arrived-New Aero Sheene-with fit pics

    Thank you AeroFan_07! I think you may be right, in my region it only gets "really cold" a few days to a couple of weeks per year. Aside from that it seems to hover between 40-50 degrees throughout the winter. This jacket wears similar to a heavy cotton jacket like, say, a Carhartt or...

    Just arrived-New Aero Sheene-with fit pics

    This is "jerky" seal Horsehide and, yes, it is alpaca lining. This is probably my 7th or 8th Aero. I have always ordered/owned CXL and, although almost nothing looks better in my opinion, I found that I rarely would wear those for more than a few months as they were just a bit too stiff for my...

    Hahaha! Thank you! I think so, too, but didn’t want to come across as too “braggy”!

    I will post a more detailed review after I live with this jacket for a few days, but-fresh off the press--here is my new Aero Sheene. I would give it a 9/10! [/url] https://ibb.co/d2gMcgW][IMG[/URL]]

    Thedi! Thedi! Thedi!

    I ordered a Thedi jacket from Thurston Bros. a year or so ago. I ended up selling it as the cut was not quite a perfect match to me. It was one of the Phoenix jackets in a dark seal and did not have the variations, patina, or grain like that of any of your jackets. I really LOVE the...

    About to be "back in the game"...order placed

    Thurston Bros are great, especially for a beginner who needs to determine fit. I bought my first Sheene from them, but 1. I had already been working with Holly at Aero on other jackets. 2. Thurston brothers did not have the leather that I wanted. and 3.It was ever so slightly cheaper going...

    Aero internal kidney panel without an external kidney panel. How commonly does it show through?

    My opinion is that it doesn't show through too badly, but you can see it. This is not my thread, but I was the original owner of this jacket and you can follow and see for yourself. This jacket was specced with no external kidney, but it did have an internal one...

    Looking for my first Quality Motorcycle leather jacket Aero，Vanson，Schott

    I have owned 5 Aero Jackets, 1 Schott, 1 Thedi, and 1 Vanson. Of all of these, I would disagree with the notion that Schott is not on the same par as Vanson. In photos, I always thought Vanson looked amazing. As a motorcyclist myself, I ordered a Vanson Comet PLU-3 from Thurston Bros. The...

    Aero Sheene- Fit Advice and Creative Guidance

    Most of the comments that I would have made have already been made, but if you would like to see what a Sheene looks like before and after break-in, in brown CXL, without shoulder gussets, without kidney panel, then please follow this link. It was also my first Aero and I have just ordered...
