    How to resist buying another jacket?

    I was just wondering. Is the reason for making more jackets because one is chasing the ultimate fit for a particular jacket design? Or is it because one wants a variety of designs (gotta collect-em all syndrome)? I am more of the former. Notice the use of the word "more" as I still fall prey...

    You know you have too many leather jackets when

    When you are in the tropics and you voluntarily tell your boss that you don't mind going for work trips just so that you can wear your jackets and because you are also out of leave.

    Preserving jackets in high humidity

    Leaving leather items in a cupboard with no drying agents is an invitation for mould to grow. Generally, I try not to leave my leather jacket in cupboards. I hang it in my room and turn on the air-conditioner at night. It would be good if your residence is away from the coast but seeing how you...

    Measure body size

    Norwegian Air flies from Stockholm to Edinburgh at a decent price. Take a break and head down to Aero to try the fit. Good excuse for a short vacation :D

    Optimizing the fit of my Aero Sheene

    Echoing what most other members have said. Its a good length. The jacket ends around your belt and I think that is kinda optimal. You could consider higher rise jeans as that would give the illusion of a longer jacket length.

    Visiting Aero Leathers

    I have seen several shops in Tokyo carrying Aero jackets, like those in Harajuku but is there an Aero outlet/store in Tokyo? The photos of the leather jacket in various poses are hilarious.

    Tell a story about your first leather jacket...

    Was on the Trans-Siberian through Russia in 2012. Train took a half an hour stop at Ulan-Ude in the night. Disembarked to see and capture a photo of the largest bust sculpture of Lenin in the town square. Wore only my leather jacket because I thought it would be a quick one. Got lost on the way...

    What knit colour on black leather flight jacket?

    This is nice! I always thought that different knit and leather colours would look odd but this is quite an eye-opener!

    Acceptable leather jackets for professional settings?

    It depends very much on the office environment you are in. I suppose if you work in, e.g. a law firm or a bank, or if you are meeting someone important where first impression counts, it would be in one's best interest to discount the leather jacket and suit up with the standard business attire...

    Indiana Jones V

    A contemporary Indy seems slightly anachronistic. Agree that any new Indy films should be kept in the good old days.

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    I am generally afraid of using leather conditioners as I don't want the colour of my jacket to darken by one shade. Used pecards for a while but they darkened the leather which annoyed me. Just bought leather milk but I haven't used it on my jackets yet. Have used it on other leather products...

    Pocket Dimensions and Location vs. Jacket Size

    It definitely makes sense for pocket sizes to vary unless the jacket is mass produced. Can't imagine that a 36 A2 would have the same pocket size as a 44 A2. I think it would look a bit weird and out of proportion.

    Code of conduct. WPG ITEMS MADE IN PAKISTAN OR INDIA

    When I visit a developing country, I would do my best to purchase a souvenir from a shop or person whom I think would benefit the most from me buying that particular item. If I were to over think matters, there would be a thousand and one reasons drawing me back from making such a purchase. I.e...

    The black leather jacket - a mark of respectability

    I have this predispose notion that black leather jackets are less formal than brown leather jackets. I suppose it's just me.
