How do you even decide what to leave the house in? They'd find a skeleton lying in a bunch of leather jackets if I had your collection...

Somewhat cooler temps today allowed me to wear my new vintage Excelled horsehide - definitely the shortest I’d ever want to go - but the length is perfect when zipped and sitting in a car or on a motorcycle - no extra leather to bunch up.

This is such a classic Excelled horsehide! This thick, glazed smooth leather. It's probably supplied by Conceria Tris in Italy, whom also supplies to Schott. I currently have a cross zip made from it. Needs a Johnson re-line.

Good minds think alike! Taking my Chopper v2 for a ride today. Was a long wait for the custom remake to happen but Vanson did me right when all was said and done.

Hi Terry

I follow you on YouTube and one of the main reasons I joined this forum. I thought I had a great collection until I saw yours! It is just out of this world.

Good to see you here. Look forward to seeing/hearing about your jackets.

M-43. If I could have only one jacket, this would be it. View attachment 186427

That’s why i got one in leather when they first came out.

That is a nice one! I did like the fit. I sold mine, can't remember where it went.

I'm new to this forum but I love all types of leather jackets. From heavy Aero, Simmons Bilt, etc to more fashion ones like Matchless, Boda Skins and Belstaff. Today I'm wearing my Boda Skins model X in lamb skin.

Ha, it does cause some indecision on some mornings. And I have been thinking about offloading a bunch of them (a Vanson or two, Classic, Mars, which is actually for sale already, maybe the Langlitz, the IH Type 1 I got from Ton, the one I believe is a Taubers cross-zip...)

In any case, here is what I wore back into work...Perseus's Steed:

I just had to chuckle today. You have a signature chair for your jacket pics. I assume at your work. I thought, i bet everyone stands in the presence of you and your jackets and not dare move your jacket or be stupid enough to try and sit on it. I just envision a WTF moment if they did. Lol
Nice Steed change up today by the way!

No doubt they chuckle behind my back, it is south Fl and I sport leather. However, I weep for anyone that dares sit on my jackets.

Too cool for school

It was cool and overcast here in the Bay Area today. Went for a walk in the LW CHP to celebrate the weather.

The BK patterns seem fantastic but their leather seems to age crazy fast. Every jacket I've seen, even if it is only 3 years old, looks like it has been worn hard for 20 years. Any thoughts on that?

New, just out of box Aero Chips

Amazing jacket. Beautiful and extremely happy with fit. Thanks to all involved. Process and end result are awesome!

I know it’s been some time since you posted this, but I was literally speechless since seeing this (some business trips prevented posting too).

THIS is my all time favourite jacket on the lounge. The pattern is great to begin with, but the hide and your tweaks just turned it into perfection.

I do not need another jacket!!! (repeat 100 times).

Got this nice Willis & Geiger wool jacket off the ‘bay. Has an inner plaid wool lining (basically two layers of wool in one jacket) so it’s plenty warm. Front cargo pockets, side handwarmer pockets plus an inside wallet pocket with button closure. Really a well-made jacket with great styling and high quality construction.
I’ve added a replica RMS Titanic/White Star Line officer’s whistle to make this an “old school” ship captain-style “uniform” jacket.

Sir, you have impeccable style!

Your best looking jacket, in my opinion. And you do have quite the collection! Some may disagree, but I do like Lewis Leathers much.
