    In a world of customer protection being so excessive that you can return any off the rack jacket with no justification at all and a customer mindset being so obsessive with fit and measurements that people throw a tantrum and return custom jackets when there are minimal deviations or straight up...

    To clarify, because I have gotten some messages already; I am not committed to neither animal nor color of hide, but no suede please!

    WTB: Leather Trucker jacket, Johnson, Lost Worlds, Vanson, ?

    Hey everyone, I‘ve got the hunger again, this time for a trucker style leather jacket by any maker known for good craftmanship and pattern. Something Type-3ish. There is one caveat: I want handwarmer pockets. I know, I know, big sacrilege to all the purists, type 3 should not have handwarmer...

    Your Guess at Break-in Time Req'd?

    My estimate would be 100 hours to properly break it in; whether that is 200 days over a span of three years wearing the jacket for 30 minutes on each occasion or three weeks of wearing it 5-6 hours a day really depends on your style of living.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Size 40 has 24“ pit to pit, size 38 23“ pit to pit, which by all comparison is huge. However these jackets are heavily tapered at the waist. I am 39“ chest, I wear a 38 in this picture. I also own a size 36 and while it still fits, the bomber-ish appeal and look of the jacket gets lost when you...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Small addition: Sleeves on the Thunderbird are slimmer than on my other Vansons too.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Received the custom Stadium (-2“ sleeve length) and the stocksize Thunderbird. I plan lengthy reviews with better pictures when I find the time. For now all I can offer is a few snapshots from first hurried try-on as I was about to travel when the package arrived. Love the short boxy fit of the...

    What a steal! Shame I missed it! New owner can reach out incase it does not fit!

    Does Your Jacket Stand Up?

    From my experience, thick leather and many seams don't go well together, super stiff and resistant to break-in. I'd rather get a design like this in Johnsons goat or bison leather or you could ask them for a sample of their redwood bison. The shade of brown differs from batch to batch, but all...

    Aero vs Johnson for leather cafe racer?

    Johnson Leather any time. I sold most of my Aeros. They look great on pictures but JL is just more comfortable to wear. Even the people who champion Aero, you rarely see them post pictures in their Aeros and many of their jackets end up in the Classifieds.

    Neck pain?

    Have not had the opportunity to try an Aero but have thought about them a few times. I wear an 18.5 inch neck dress shirt, would Aero patterns work for me? I understand that is a broad question but am curious. I wear an 18.5“ neck shirt and Aeros size 38-40 hurt my neck, atleast in the Zip...

    Neck pain?

    interesting assessment. i recall a thread where a member put on display his solution to the neck pain issue - his solution was indeed adding padding into the shoulder area.

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Good to hear. I would consider very carefully though whether I wanted the sleeves to be 2“ longer. They are borderline short but well within reason, noone in the real world would ever give them a second thought. +2“ and they will be almost knuckle-length which imho is WAY too long. I would want...

    Love the far left jacket. Johnson Leather in their bison?

    Neck pain?

    The Aero neck pain debate has been going on for forever, many theories are out there as to what causes it. For all I am concerned, the exact why does not matter, fact is I can wear jackets made from equally heavy or heavier hides from other makers and have no such issues, so it definitely is a...
