    Any know of how and where I might be able to get my paws on a Flathead "Rider" model and/or a McCoys "Steinbeck" model...Or better yet have one to sell? I need a 42 or 44 or "Large" or "XL" +/- depending on measurements. Thought I'd throw it out to the group. Thanks regardless.

    New Black ELMC Californian...Very Happy!

    Hi Gang, I'm feeling good about my new ELMC Californian. I've spent the last year learning about (mainly from the good folks on this board) and buying leather jackets. Some I liked, others I didn't. I think I've cycled through 8-9 jackets at this point. And I believe I have finally arrived where...

    Monarch Pre-War Custom Made by Dave Sheeley 42-44

    Hello Gentleman. I recently acquired this jacket and while I LOVE IT, I've come to the realization that I may have a couple too many jackets at this point. The jacket was handmade by Dave Sheeley (a top-tier maker in my view). I think its called "pre-war half-belt". I've worn it twice so it is...

    Dave Sheeley Monarch

    Gents, I just received a beautiful jacket made by Dave Sheeley. It really lives up to the high expectations I had for it. I've come (after trial and error) to the conclusion that I like mid-weight leather jackets that are traditional, simple and classic in their design. This one fits the bill...

    Thoughts on Schott quality?

    Let's face it, Schott is clearly one of the most recognizable brands in the leather jacket game. I remember being in high-school and all the motorheads had the brown fur collar jobs A-2? G-1? and others the Perfecto style, etc. I gotta admit they looked pretty cool but as an underclassman I...

    Mid-Weight Leather Jacket Guidance Request

    Hi Gang, thought I'd come to the experts on this one. I'm in need of some expert guidance. I have a couple of Mid-Weight leather jackets and I really love them. I don't much care for the super thick type. So my question, what makers do nice mid-weight jackets? As an fyi, I have an ELMC (Eastman)...

    New aquisition - Eastman ELMC in "Havana" brown

    I just received my new Eastman ELMC Californian in "Havana" brown. Posted a pic here (sorry it's sideways...I'm technically challenged).

    Picked up an Aero Sheene...Please tell me how great I look in it!

    Of course I'm only kidding about "the how great I look part". Just wanting to show ya'all my latest aquisition. I bought it from a true gentleman in Arizona who bought it for himself but decided it didn't fit to his liking. So, I was happy to provide a good home for it. I really think it'll be a...

    Is it possible to put new sheene on older jacket?

    I'm newer to this forum. I recently bought an Aero Half-Belt Long and a Johsons Leather (older jacket). I love the sheene (shine) on my Aero and wish the Johnsons had it as well...It seems that it has worn off in places over time as I believe the jacket is approximately 30 years old. Is there a...

    Thanks to everyone on this robust forum! I just signed on to FL after finding it by chance while researching for a new leather jacket.
