My understanding (could be wrong) was that Al's was founded by a former Cal Leather employee. Anybody know if this is true or not?

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

I just bought this jacket off the Thurston Brothers featured stock page. Total impulse buy, just looking around and it popped up again on my eBay feed I have been drooling over this exact jacket for months now it seems, really quite surprised that no one has bought it before me.
It’s blackened brown Vicenza with rust stitching and a Troy Mills wool blanket lining.

No idea but it makes sense, given the overlapping styling cues and also being Ventura based. Much like my Classic, which was built in Portland by a former associate of LL.

Truly excited to wear my new Ridley. Literally the day it came the weather shot up to around 85F, and had more or less stayed that way till a few days ago. I still have barely even examined it, so it'll be like getting a new jacket!

@elmarro great pick up. The contrast stiching really pops
@nick123 In my mind you were always an A2 type guy but this looks cool.
I myself am absolutely praying someone drives the price up on the Schott perfecto D pocket on the bay right now. It’s only been a month since i decided i wasn’t a cross zip guy and yet this thing is keeping me up at night.

Still an A-2 guy! But equally a D-pocket guy! Just a jacket guy! I prefer to ride on the notion of that earlier time, when variations of these jackets were cleverly marketed towards "the motorist or aviator". That's how I devolve from the pure moto association. They're just cool jackets from a design perspective.

Nice impulse. I've eyed this jacket. Look forward to some more pics.

Thanks t!
I spoke to Carrie this morning since it had been a good long while since I had bought anything from them. She told me that I was correct this one had been on their featured stock page for awhile but considering they had only received it in late spring it had not gotten much attention during the hot summer months. I had assumed that this jacket had probably made the rounds as a fit jacket and I was fine with that, as it turns out though I will be one of the first people to try it on.
I will definitely post some pics once it arrives

I was going to give you a hard time about this comment but then I realized that I feel the same way about hats. I have couple nice Stetsons that I wear around the house or out doing yard work but I would definitely feel self-conscious wearing them out around town
For what it’s worth I thought the Vanson C2 you had looked very sharp on you!

Been meaning to post pics of this for a while now. One of my all time grails and the only CR I’ll ever need! So stoked to have finally been able to get one of these. IMO this is one of the coolest jackets ever made.
