    German motorcycle gear

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    Shame this did not go well. Most companies get some issues at some point. As far as I know SB is a solid business overall. The Aero pattern were stolen when the previous manager - forgot his name - moved to Alexandre leathers. That guy was jailed. SB has since then developed their own patterns...

    Wildfang Design Visit

    I was definitely great meeting you guys @Monitor and @Marc mndt ! :D And thanks for the write-up! Wildfang was first mentioned a few years ago by Robbie79. He hasn't posted here in quite a while. A shame he has the knack of finding interesting lesser-known makers. Their old website was only...

    If you had to choose only one leather jacket...

    Certainly not my style of jacket or yours normally, but this pic really makes it look good. Something about the colours in the location, your body language and expression, hmmm...

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    The thread is here I find the jacket comfortable, I use it as any jacket, driving, going out, eating, etc. JL found the skins for that one, I don't remember how many hides, but they were not big hence the choice of a trucker which is great due to the numerous panels. I considered all of these...
