    Repairing Aero 1986 Leather Tear ?

    No quick fix but it can be fixed. You gotta redo the stitch. As for the smell, leave it in the sun for 10 days.

    Should I be worried about broken stitching on the cuff of a leather jacket?

    Wouldn't a wood / carpenter glue sort of thing be better than quick bonding glue? Leather tends to react differently to adhesives, especially fast acting ones and I never used any kind of quick polymerization glue that didn't harden the leather, turning it brittle. Even just a little bit will...

    Oversized Fits

    @El Marro is spot on - Just buy the regular Highwayman in the size you actually wear and it'll be perfect. If you're going to do a custom order, make sure to leave it at a default back length.

    Schott and Coronado casual belts?

    I just wanted to say this! Recently started more seriously making leather stuff and I can't even imagine buying a belt or a wallet anymore. It's so simple and so much fun. I don't even have that fork thing and am using leather needles for thinner leather and IKEA Aku drill with 1.5 mm drill bit.

    Flattering trousers to go with jackets

    Very, very cool! El Jadida or Safi would work for me. I feel that I have finally started making progress toward understanding trousers and what I am certain of is that having them tailored is absolutely essential. Most OTR's of today will fit a person just fine but I always believed that...

    Another two places that I joined some two years ago, Discord channels, have a mandatory fit pic & short introduction requirement that the moderators then verify. This doesn't, of course, need to be a proper WAYWT photo & people often upload silly things like their baby photos or photos of pets...

    Cowhide isn't nearly as durable as goatskin. Goatskin will absolutely outlive and outlast either cowhide or horsehide.

    1940’s or early 50’s Sportclad Motorcycle Jacket

    That's my favorite biker jacket ever. Lol, it's essentially exactly the same as any other but it's the little details that set it apart. And the red lining was a majorly good idea, too.

    Huh, I see a LOT of them on eBay. . . Don't know what size are you but this Gibson & Barnes is just about it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176855684640 If by quality you mean durability, longevity, etc., then they're all roughly at the same level. You will find better workmanship on some of the...

    New user here, looking for some guidance on a first time leather jacket purchase.

    Think of it this way - $300 will get you top of the line, high-quality used leather jacket by most high-end brands we discuss here. At the same time $300 won't even get you close to buying a new top of the line, high-quality leather jacket by those exact same brands. At this point, you should...

    Over 50 wearing leather jackets

    I won't ever forget reading a post somewhere long ago, where someone asked anyone who'd been clinically dead but came back what was it like. One person said that while once the cessation of the brain function took place, there was basically nothing in the fullest sense of the word - Perfect...

    Interesting convo and 4k HH jacket

    I could name a few, yeah but at that level, it is all about the brand and not the leather. My favorite two brands make horsehide jackets that costs $7K upwards so it isn't unheard of but they don't charge any less for either of their other leathers, be it basic or exotic kind. They value every...
