    Picked up this Aero Teamster from Thurston Bros Stock

    A few days ago I decided on this Thurston Bros Aero Teamster and it really is nice. I owned a Teamster a few years ago but didn't particularly like the lining so sent it on to someone else. This Patriot Teviot Waverley Tweed wool lining seems to me the perfect weight for this jacket. The Horse...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    As a Southerner I post photos on here all the time including my face. While I understand your trepidation, especially as a teacher in todays world and in the South. My attitude is a little different towards folks down here in Tennessee and Georgia. I am sure you know the saying "Well Bless their...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    Ok, here is my budget method of collecting leather jackets. About 20 years ago I applied what I deemed to be the best way to get decent clothing and collecting leather jackets. Number 1. Always by upscale jackets like Aero, Lost worlds Inc., Goodwear, Eastman etc. ( it guarantees a decent...

    LW Moose hide LT/A and J-24

    I am way to OCD to put up with cat scratch.... now if both sides were cat scratched with the same pattern???? Nope, couldn't do it. That would have to be replaced. I would drop $500.00 in a New York minute. The craftsmanship of the Ryder plus the Moose hyde...... I just could not live with...

    LW Moose hide LT/A and J-24

    I think having Stuart repair the jacket is your best bet. He has adjusted a couple of my LW jackets over the years and the craftsmen did a great job. All things considered I don't think the cost is that bad considering the time to remove the panel and replace it will be considerable. I would...

    Schott, Legendary USA and Vanson

    Time will tell as far as the aging on this jacket and compared to the Schotts I have owned over the last few years.... well they are all passed on now to others. The leather was thinner than this Vanson and while neither the Vanson nor the Schott compares to my Aero's or my LW's horsehide or...

    Schott, Legendary USA and Vanson

    Ok so I received this Vanson today. I went riding this afternoon and found it very comfortable and one of the best off the rack jackets for riding I have owned. Now it is not a "techno" jacket and I don't wear those; it is simply a decent classic riding jacket that is perfect for me. The...

    New wool offering from Aero!

    The red wool used by Aero in these jackets looks very close to a lining Stuart was using a few years back. I took this photo off of the LW site to show the similarity. Just thought this was interesting the two companies found something they both liked. Note the J-24 below:

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    You might want to check out Rocketbuster boots. Also if you have the time check out http://dimlights.com/custom-boots/cowboyboot-makers/ it is a list by state of all the hand made boot craftsmen in the US by state. I would review Texas (Rocketbuster, JB Hill), Arizona (Paul Bond Boots) and...

    Dehen Motorcycle Sweater Size Large (42-44) for Thor Motorcycles

    This is a really fun sweater that I don't believe Dehen makes anymore at least it's not on their website. I have had a few years but not really worn it very much so i am letting it go. Personally I think it's gorgeous and made in the "old school way" with the embroidered patches on front and...

    Help I think I ruined my Aero Premiere Half Belt

    I would suggest that rather than using the jacket as a "beater" after dying it black why not just use it as a beater jacket period. First I would first find out if dye would even take on the infected area? Second the cost of dying the jacket could go toward a new purchase from Aero to use for...

    My two new Lost Worlds jackets

    Hey it might be a different steerhide type than the jackets I owned. All were from the early 2,000's and he may have made some alterations in the coating the factory used. I know the horsehide has improved in a number of ways in the last 10 years over some of the earlier LW's I acquired.

    My two new Lost Worlds jackets

    I have owned maybe 3 LW Cowhide jackets and they all "SQUEAKED" like mad. It really irritated me as the russet color was beautiful and grainy patina but gawd the sound. I have to add that one was a Buco Rider with the cigarette pocket on the D-Pocket and was absolutely gorgeous. Damn I hated...

    For Sale Lost Worlds Speed Demon moose hide leather, sz 50, two-tone Navy w/ green

    I think shoulder width is the key here. Unfortunately it was not included in the measurements. The 28" length probably has to do with the tag under the size tag, "L" for long.

    Goatskin For Motorcycle Jacket

    If you crash it will always be your ass. That is the chance you take riding a motorcycle. Yes you can use preventable gear and one should make those decisions but no matter what you put on your body if you crash, go down, go up or whatever at 70 mph or even 20 mph it is going to be your ass.

    Goatskin For Motorcycle Jacket

    It's my feeling that goat for a motorcycle jacket works very well if you choose a manufacturer that procurs a decent thick goat leather. Goat is water resistant and it wears well over time. I had Stuart manufacture a goat J-23 and wore it for several years while riding. I took 2 trips out west...

    Two ELMC Californians Different Color Different Size. Which One Would You Keep?

    I would keep both of them. The lighter, trimmer version for when you just throw on a T-shirt and jacket and you are good to go. The darker for a cooler heavier shirt and jacket day, also the looser fit with a shirt hanging out can be an easier relaxing way to go too. Both colors are gorgeous and...
