    Thoughts on Aero Wayfarer as Riding Jacket

    Having just sold my Aero Cafe Racer in Battered Tan Horsehide, I'm experiencing a bit of seller's remorse. I've been trying to stick to a "one in, one out" rule I set for myself last year, as space is limited and I only want to own enough jackets that I can actually wear. The only reason I...

    FS: Coach Blue Shearling D-Pocket - Size M (fits more like a small)

    I know Coach isn’t a brand often discussed on the lounge, but I’ve been surprised by some really descent quality jackets from them. This shearling D-Pocket is no exception. Bought a few years ago but not worn at all this winter and only a couple times last winter. Alas, I’ve gained wait and...

    FS: Vanson x Left Field Commando - Size M - X150 Leather

    Another jacket I wish fit me better. Bought on the lounge a year and a half ago and worn a handful of times. No size tag listed, but it compares to most medium fits, from my experience. P2P: 21” Shoulders: 19” Back length: 26.5” Front length: 22” Hem: 19” Sleeve length: 25”-26” (depending on...

    FS: Aero Cafe Racer - Size 40 - Battered Tan HH - New Zipper!

    I'm thinning the heard. Despite loving this jacket and investing in a new zipper last year from Thurston Bros., I need to make room in my closet and this one just doesn't fit as well as others (I'm more of a board racer shape). I bought this a couple years ago second hand and haven't worn it...

    I Got Stuck in My Jacket

    Well, it finally happened. After owning several Aero jackets and finding myself perpetually frustrated with the flimsy, #5 Talons, the main zip on my Wayfarer failed, trapping me inside the jacket. I sat down in my car and noticed it had split at the bottom, unzipping the bottom two inches...

    Vintage Brooks Cafe Racer

    I spotted this Brooks cafe racer in a local vintage shop today and thought I’d share a few pics. It’s absolutely full of character but in pretty poor condition. It was my first time handling one of these, and I was impressed by how great it fit. I love the cut. Unfortunately, I don’t own a...

    Seeking Advice: Reshaping a Jacket

    In 2019 I bought a new Schott P613S in color 8 CXL steerhide. I put this jacket through the ringer and it became everything I wanted it to be, checking off all the desirable boxes we talk about here. The leather broke in, developing creases, patina and character galore. But most importantly, it...

    For Sale - Vanson Chopper size 36 (fits like 38/40)

    I'm very sad to sell this one, but must accept that it's too small after gaining weight. I've seen quite a few Choppers now and this is the best one I've handled in regards to construction and leather quality. Absolutely beautiful jacket in like new condition. - $600 + shipping of buyer’s...

    FS - 2 Vanson Choppers - small (36) and medium (40)

    After gaining some weight since I bought a size 36 Chopper a few years ago, I have been on the lookout for a 38, not wanting to spend full price for a new one from Thurston Bros. I recently bought a medium (40) with brass hardware from a Lounge member and decided it was a bit too large. It hit...

    FS Vanson Chopper Size Small/36

    Catch and release Vanson Chopper, size small. I already own a chopper from Thurston Bros, size 36. The seller of this one on eBay mis-measured, so I thought it would fit me a bit better than the one I already have. No such luck - as the measurements are the same as mine. Pit to pit: 20”...

    Dented CXL and P613S Patina/Break-In Update

    Hi Guys - I'm looking for experience/advice about repairing a dent in my jacket. I was caught in a heavy, un-forecasted rainstorm while riding home from a camping trip last weekend. After several hours in the rain, it's safe to say my jacket was rather wet (as well as the rest of my gear)...

    *PRICE DROP* Thedi Cafe Racer - Heavyweight Cowhide - Size L

    I have some ebay offers coming through, but I would much rather sell this to someone on here if possible. Now dropping the price to $500 plus shipping, PayPal FF. I have another jacket on the way, so would love to get this out of my house soon to adhere to my recently-instated "1 in, 1 out"...

    Thedi Quilted Cafe Racer Size L For Sale

    Thedi cafe racer for sale in a beautiful 1.5mm veg-tanned cowhide. The color is really hard to capture. It’s a reddish brown, but definitely not burgundy or oxblood. I bought it pre-owned and don't know the age, but it's in excellent condition, though broken in and with a nice patina. I'm...

    Thedi Cafe Racer for Sale “large”

    Thedi cafe racer for sale in a beautiful 1.5mm veg-tanned cowhide. The color is really hard to capture. It’s a reddish brown, but definitely not burgundy or oxblood. I bought this less than a year ago on eBay and absolutely love it. However, I wanted a new jacket and something has to go, as...

    "New" Thedi Fit Pics - Opinions Wanted

    Hi Guys, I bought this Thedi on ebay and would like to hear thoughts on the fit. Overall, I am very pleased with the fit. Length is good, chest and waist are good (better than my custom Thedi of a similar style, actually), sleeves are good (though a bit longer than I'm used to). The only...

    Lochcarron Tartan Lining Issue and Advice

    I bought my first Aero not too long ago and posted about it here. It’s a Board Racer in Dark Seal Vicenza with a Lochcarron Tartan Lining. I absolutely love this jacket. The leather, the fit, the quality — it’s all superb. BUT, I’ve noticed the lining catches on my shirt and makes it ride...

    Review and Fit Pics of Custom Thedi Shearling Cafe Racer

    Background This winter I decided I wanted a shearling jacket for those coldest months of Michigan. I’ve never really been a fan of the traditional jacket styles typically made of shearling, so I began my search for something unique; perhaps a double-rider, as I’d seen the occasional...

    Custom Shearling Racer by Thedi

    Hey guys - I’ll post a proper review and fit pics soon, but my custom shearling racer from Thedi arrived today and I can’t wait to send a couple pictures of this beautiful piece. (Disregard the strange carpet. I’m at work.)

    Finally Bought an Aero

    I have been collecting leather jackets ever since I bought my first from a market vendor in Florence, Italy, over two decades ago. Despite the excessive number of jackets I've acquired over the years (perhaps not excessive by some FL members' standards), most of which are of high quality, I...
