    I actually do wear gloves, this was a quick “hey let me turn around and you can snap a picture of me and my bike!”

    Aero Leather Pants and Sizing

    I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, but if you mean, Do riding pants usually have a higher rise waist then usual pants? then absolutely yes they do. Modern jeans and slacks are cut with a much lower rise than they “should” be. Pants used to ride at your waist, around your belly button...

    Thoughts on Aero Wayfarer as Riding Jacket

    I have a couple Vanson vent max armored shirts and I wear them under various leather jackets if I’m feeling marginal about their protection capabilities. They’re made from 1000 denier Cordura mesh and fully armored. The mesh is funny, you can see though it but it is hard, almost made from thin...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    These jackets…. I don’t even mind the colors or studs, but the long torso pattern is the absolute worst.

    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    I wonder if these were the inspiration for Quarks outfits on Deep Space 9

    Interesting convo and 4k HH jacket

    Something was very wrong with whichever horse that that hide came from.

    Top Tier vs "#2"?

    One of the reasons I’m such a Vanson fan is they make tracksuits that are sturdy enough that they’ll repair them after a get off. The seams have fewer stitches per inch than is fashionable because fewer holes in the leather makes a stronger seam. I hear good things about other brands but I’ll...

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    I think that Crowtree is awesome, too but If you’re asking the question “should I keep this” then the answer is usually, no. Keep the jackets that speak to you.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I have this same HG! They’re VERY nice replicas, I need to reinforce the buttons on mine before I can wear it regularly, but I love mine. Just 35-40 minutes of hooks, clips, and buttons and you’re out the door!

    How many jackets do you own?

    I do, or I will. I’m on vacation with the fam, but I’ll be making room in the New Year. I don’t think I have any classic styles, but some of the discontinued patterns. When I get home I’m planning on a clear out.

    What was your first leather jacket?

    I grew up in Massachusetts, and when I found out Vanson made a jacket that used glow in the dark leather, I knew I had to have it.

    What was your first leather jacket?

    Fringed biker jackets are under rated.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    In my experience Vanson tends to pattern for the “American” shape. Also longer patterns need to accommodate hips and butts to an extend. That pattern looks like it goes lower than your waist
