    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    You’re right, it seems to be Raid after all. It was sold to me as a customized HC HWM. [emoji19] This is the sales text from ebay: ”Based on a Hardcore Highway, I had this jacket made in 1997. I had the shoulder epaulets and waist belt deleted, and brass colored zips and snaps substituted for...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Its finally leather jacket weather again! Today I am wearing recently acquired customized Vanson HC HWM. According to seller he had this jacket made in 1997, and I might add that now after 21 years this jacket might be at its best! Fully broken in and truly buttery soft competition weight...

    Jacket Hangers

    I can only speak for myself but for me these hangers become as an answer to an open question. I have had my jackets hung on cheap wide shouldered plastic hangers. Only problem being that these hangers are too weak for heavy leather jackets and they tend to brake all the time. I’ve been...

    Jacket Hangers

    I am confused. So it is ok to buy numerous high end jackets for prices ranging up to 2000 € per jacket, but if you buy wooden hangers specially made for those jackets you become victim of marketing who spends unnecessary amounts for something that could be substituted with cheaper...

    For sale: Aero Highwayman brown FQHH size 48

    Aero's measurements are accurate. Aero Highwayman 48 fits like size 50 - 52. Its little bit too big for me also.

    Jacket Hangers

    I did wonder that also myself. However the difference is really not that huge. For example Aero LHB size 40 (on Aero's sale page) has 19" shoulders. My size 48 LHB had about 22" shoulders, and I think thats about as wide as Aero jackets' shoulders get.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I just might turn my attention to those local charity marathons as well! Only jackets I’ve bought this month are Cheap m-65 and a Levi’s trucker.

    Vintage sports clothing, where to show.

    Piece of totally unnecessary information: Amer used to be a cigarette and tobacco producer, until they decided that there’s no future in cigarettes, dropped nicotinebusiness once and for all and bought bunch of sports brands (including Wilson) and renamed their company Amer sports.

    For sale: Aero Highwayman brown FQHH size 48

    Time to thin the herd. Only wore this one maybe 10 times before I had to admit that The fit is off. I bought it new from Aero’s sale page, so it is in very lightly worn condition and not broken in yet. There is a minor scuff in left sleeve (photo) and some extra stich marks inside the jacket...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    I think that outsourcing might actually be the only way to make reasonable business out of small leather jacket company in central or northern Europe with our high taxation and extremely high labour costs. Manufacturers like Aero and Vanson benefit from economy of scale and they have so much...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    I already went for it. When my safari jacket arrives I will be sure to do my best to give an objective analysis what I think of their product. For me some of their designs are very unique (like Safari jacket that got my attention) and I think I will like their horsehide if it turns out to be as...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    Well I'm sure you don't then use IPhones LGs or Samsungs either. Hey actually I'm sure you don't use anything made in China either, because I'm fairly sure that it is not the chinese factory worker who benefits the most from his or her work. There is probably some evil capitalist middle man...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    All I'll remember is that JMax put me up to getting this jacket.

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    Maybe I should have been more accurate with my question. I meant stiffness prior to brake in.

    Thanks! Sounds like this leather is exactly what I am looking for this jacket.
