Me too! I figure it was time to get them all done, even though one of the zippers still technically functioned. I couldn’t be happier with the result.

I had no idea the difficulties I would face trying to source the zippers I wanted. Who knew?!

I sent Dena (Leather Care Specialists) three Aero jackets for zipper replacements, after the usual frustration and eventual failure associated with the #5 Talon zippers. I just received them today and am thrilled with her work. They are perfect and I'm so excited to finally have sturdy...

Bummed it's no longer available, but my bank account and wife are glad.

Nice jacket! Won't fit me quite right, and I have one too similar to really consider another, but I wish you luck with the sale.

I've bought and sold a few times here with PPF&F and have had delightful exchanges and smooth transactions each time. Though I do remember the apprehension I felt the first time I bought from the classifieds. I remember thinking, "So I'm going to just send this stranger money and trust that he...

I find two is the perfect number for my lifestyle. The Guzzi is my main ride around town, to work, etc. The BMW is perfect for trips (storage space and better at highway speeds), colder weather (heated grips and windscreen), and riding two up (better suspension and more comfortable for my...

Beautiful bike.

That’s exciting. I’m curious to see how the cavalier compares to the color 8 Chromexcel. Would you consider posting some photos when it arrives?

I didn’t ride when I bought mine either 6 or 7 years ago. It’s pretty good on the bike but there’s a reason Schott adds the underarm “footballs” to their true riding jackets. The shoulders ride up a bit in the riding position, but that’s okay. Still more of a riding jacket than most people on...

Thank you. It’s definitely a thick one. I’ve worn it plenty more since this post, and it’s developed more dents and marks and evidence of a life well lived. Not sure why I was so concerned about it, in hindsight. I also found the HH less robust. Enjoy yours as well! Good looking piece.

Very good point.

Thanks, guys. Not sure why I was overthinking it. Now I just have to wait patiently for Dena to return my Wayfarer with its new zipper.
