Hi Everyone - I'm wondering if anybody has a decent source on quality CHP style vintage leather jackets, or indeed has one in their collection they're willing to sell. Looking for something that's roughly a 40 inch chest size, with longish arms. I'm keeping an eye out in all the usual...

Hello, I have a BROWN Schott NYC "Perfecto" jacket, size SMALL. It's the collaboration that Schott did with Restoration Hardware back in 2011. Anyway, I'm just testing the waters here to see if there's any interest. If there is, I'll post some pics and measurements. It is in perfect condition...

We've noticed some confusion about how Aero's fit, and people questioning why they wouldn't always be the same size in each style, why a size 42" for example will vary so much depending on the style. We've put together a little guide to help with this, hopefully this will be of help to some...

Hi guys, I've been wondering, did anyone of you ever reach the point where you said "that's gonna be my last jacket" and sticked to it? When I ordered my first jacket I thought I'd finally have a jacket that would please all my needs since no stock or designer jacket ever felt like the one. Now...

Hi guys, can smells and smoke coming from a kitchen ruin the patina of leather jackets displayed in another room a few meters away? when I have to change the air in the apartment opening the door and the smells reach the area where I have the jackets on display, and I don't know how important...

This jacket is very special to me. I originally got into leather jackets in the first place because my father was a biker, and he passed on his crosszip jacket to me. Looking at it now it's just a ratty old chrome tanned crosszip probably bought from some random shop, but when he gave it to me I...

I'm pretty sure most of us own a copy of Rin Tanaka's motorcycle jackets 'a century of leather design' book. Looking for other good books about vintage leather jackets I came across a Japanese magazine called 'lighting archives'. In 2014 they issued a leather jacket edition. It's a great book...

December last year I sold my Eastman Californian jacket to one of the Lounge members. It was too small for me so I decided to go buy a new one, one size up. I went to one of Eastman's stockist in France and tried a size 42 which was a perfect fit. Unfortunately, the brand-new jacket did not...
