    Are Aero Jackets that good?

    I do have a couple dedicated riding jackets and ofc the 689hh. just wanted to add a crosszip for variety sake. i use the dedicated armored wear for longer and highway rides and the schott and the new crosszip for shorter rides when I need to look good in front of the kids and ladies and gents haha

    Are Aero Jackets that good?

    So would everyone agree that the Aero would protect me better in the event of a motorcycle crash/slide (armor aside ofc)? I also doubt the fillmore will only last one season or two bc I do have another first manufacturing armored jacket and it has lasted more than a season maybe for 175 i...

    Are Aero Jackets that good?

    Hi I am on the market for a crosszip jacket and would like to pick up an Aero, something like the vincent or J106 which would go nicely with my Schott 689HH. However I do ride a z400 and found this: https://firstmfg.com/products/fillmore-mens-motorcycle-leather-jacket?variant=37307691565254 This...

    You know you are getting old when:

    My eyes are going. Finding it harder to read small text and now even asks my daughters to read them to me occasionally! Also I find it harder to take my undershirts off overhead to take a shower. Not as bad as John McCain but yikes!

    Aero Alternative to Schott P613S Burgundy

    Holy cow that P613S in burgundy looks really good! I just got the schott 689HH Nov and really enjoy wearing it (yesterday rode on my z400 in 20F NY weather to work lol, about 7 miles though, visor started to ice up!). I plan to get a crosszip (steerhide and nonblack for variety) by this summer...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    NY, last night at home had a Luksusowa martini, dry. Love my martinis! Always have vodka, gin and some kind of whiskey in the house and some beer. Actually I am out of whiskey but do have a handle of Hennessey VSOP (I find very delicious!)

    Another Schott in Shinki, this one looks good!

    I saw this in the NYC store last time I was there (Dec 2nd). It was amazing! BUT anyone help me understand why the back has that one vertical line? I would prefer a cleaner/flat look in the back but then again maybe there is some function/purpose to that back, my novice mind doesn't perceive...

    My new 689H

    Yes! It was a lot of money for me and I wanted to make sure I get the right fit. At the end of the day if I am ok with the fit and my wife is ok, we are good :) At 48 years old, I am pretty keen at what size I like. My younger self used to buy oversized stuff and I had to donate so many outfits...

    Thanks so much! Yes for sure! I ride a z400 and will use this on it too (but will also get perhaps an armored vest just for).
