    Cross zips / D pockets, discussion starter...

    I don't think middle aged man wearing a cross zip hurts anyone in any way so I would (and will) just wear what feels right to me. I think over 40 is just the right age to start caring less what people think about of clothing you decide to wear.

    Well maybe if I would be the defendant.

    Outerwear indoors

    If it is not a funeral, wedding or a business meeting I wear what I want to wear. I wouldn’t give it second thougth to wear a light leather jacket indoors if that’s what I feel is my garment of choice for that occasion.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Time to move that boring old thing onwards and to put a new custom order in. I heard they have even heavier CXL with even more beautiful depth of color available now. Plus, I think you could surely improve on some minor details of that jacket? [emoji6]

    Best black biker for non-biker?

    Agreed. That’s usually the case in TFL. One of the reasons why I like this place!

    I agree with your view. At some point all new threads could be killed at the start with "discussed before - use search!" if we follow that logic. I can only speak for myself, but I'm not here only for the information, but also for the discussion with people who share some of my interests.

    i'd give it a try with a thick sweater. My experience is that if sleeve length and fit are just right with a shirt, it won't be so with a thicker layer under it. That said, it might be that sleeves would still be too long for my taste even with a sweater.

    Leitch? I have (at least) one jacket made by her. She does beatiful work! https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/julie-leitch-25-years-at-aero-leather.88672/

    Ar the moment basic models in black or brown cowhide are between 1000 $ - 1500 $. 100 $ extra for goatskin or 200 $ for cowhide in Other colors. If you want good bang for the buck have look at their Cascade model. Its 1000 $ in cowhide, measuremade to you, and they will add a dresscollar for...

    Leather Coat Options?

    I understood what you meant. Just tried to be clever. I should listen to my wife and never try that. :)

    Leather Coat Options?

    Well, I've never been a turtle, so that didn't come to my mind, but yeah, I could imagine that a huge turtle sitting in a car might feel like I feel with a new stiff jacket.

    Leather Coat Options?

    Just keep in mind, that if you buy standard Bedford, Pea coat or Downtown, it will be made of their +4oz horsehide. If you haven't had heavy horsehide jackets before you will be in for a surprise. For first few months such a jacket is still standing up even if you are sitting down... Edit: but...

    Its false to say that LW is too heavy, as if there was only one kind of LWs available. LW has different horsehide weights and even different hides than +4oz hh that's their speciality. Have Stu make you a Speed Demon out of 3 oz hh, 3,5 oz goat or even black deerskin and you'll be pleased, I'm...

    You didn't specify if you want a real MC jacket to wear as a style piece, or a style piece based on MC jacket style. However, you could take a look at Vanson's offerings. They have it all, cafe racers, cross zips and you name it. Just be warned, these are made for riding and most of their...

    A short rant from a new member

    Yes, that's how it pretty much strated for me too. Without TFL I would have probably couple of medium quality leather jackets and a Fjällräven jacket in my closet and I would be obsessing about cars, boats or watches. Come to think of it, my other potential obsession could be much more lethal...

    B3 Jackets Question: Aero vs. Eastman thickness, warmth

    I haven’t had many shearlings, this only my third, but this is the first one that felt immediately comfortable and easy to wear. My Cockpit USA Irvin and Aero ANJ-4 (B6 thickness) have initially felt like a fur fortresses that make me look and feel like a Sumo wrestler.

    B3 Jackets Question: Aero vs. Eastman thickness, warmth

    I find the fit and length to be very much to my liking.
