Too bad we are not in the same size otherwise I would like to offer free break-in service. @roadking04
Thank you, Caber. It's of course quite stiff (it press on the chest when zipped up wearing a thin sweater) and the armholes seem to be a bit low (I took my size), but it remains comfortable and the little adjustable straps on each side do have a big influence on how fitted you want to feel in your jacket. The only real complaint I have would be the sleeves, which are shorter than I asked (0,5" margin of error), but that's a variable.Wow! that is an amazing looking jacket !! How comfortable is the august? Ive considered this jacket multiple times
This is the LVC 30s Menlo / Skyfall jacket right? Awesome!View attachment 416115
Almost Summer. Almost.
No issues with it pressing on your neck or shoulders?Thank you, Caber. It's of course quite stiff (it press on the chest when zipped up wearing a thin sweater) and the armholes seem to be a bit low (I took my size), but it remains comfortable and the little adjustable straps on each side do have a big influence on how fitted you want to feel in your jacket.

Actually, yes, just a bit when I bend my arms. But I put the blame on the lack of breaking. As I am not yet accustomed to aero leather's jacket, I may be wrong, I don't know.No issues with it pressing on your neck or shoulders?
Hang in there man. I have a coworker in Shanghai, she said it's been tough with basic food staples during the lockdown. Hopefully they bring it under control soon.Lockdown extended for ten more days. I have easily enough basic food, clean water and seasonings, but I had not accurately laid in the amount of Italian red wine, bracing scotch or cold beer I would need in this eventuality.
Nothing for it but to sit around drinking strong coffee and listening to Scott Walker in a Cafe Racer. I've smashed the hell out of this one:

Wanna be old school cool? This is THE look for which to strive. Jeans that show some wear. Same with the shoes/boots. Hair that is natural, not coifed. Throw in a wallet chain if you'd like. Bravo!My new Montgomery Ward-nothing like putting on an old horsehide that's about my age. Smells like old Horsehide and a bar. Nothing like the smell of old horsehide in the morning.

great looks all around. Glad the jacket was a good fit for you. And yeah, that leather version is spot on. Wow what a great jacket. I ended up grabbing a Bravestar version of the lee 101j. Definitely longer and trimmer sleeves. I need to post a pic of that here. I still have another original one from the lates 70s/early 80s too for when I'm feeling old school LOL.Ooe Yofukuten Cossack

Just for fun today, here is the comparison of the Aero 101J in jerky. Ken nailed the cut on this. So close to the original with the just right amount of tweaks to the dimensions to make it work best for leather. 22 3/4” back

It is! And thank you, it is one of my favorites!This is the LVC 30s Menlo / Skyfall jacket right? Awesome!
very cool jacket and perfect fit!I used to have a strong preference for single piece back designs in my leather jackets because I wanted to highlight the beauty of the hide used. Recently I’ve been delving into more intricate backs like this Johnson Leathers Aviator Cross Zip. I have something along those lines being built as we speak by a different maker and, needless to say, I’m very excited.
