    50,s Half Belts, new Aero and original:

    Here is what I did with the Aero. I soaked it in hot water for 5 minutes or so. Then I put it in the washer to spin the water out, along with 8-10 dampened towels. Then I put it in my Maytag Nautilus dryer, on the lowest setting, with the towels, and turned on the dryer. Every 10-12 minutes...

    50,s Half Belts, new Aero and original:

    Great idea! I wonder who can make a custom zippered sweatshirt/cotton based sweater without a hood, short enough to layer under a Highwayman or Halfbelt without it hanging out below the jacket. Every one of these I see in stores/catalogues has a hood, is a pullover or hangs down way too far.

    Great pics of leather jackets

    I shot these pics indoors with just a Panasonic point and shoot, a tripod, and some editing software to enhance things. If you are talking about magazine quality photos, you will need a SLR type higher quality camera, Canon and Nikon being the most common.

    I also wear a size 40, and I have a cordovan Highwayman in this leather, that I purchased from EBay. I love it. My halfbelt is the brown FQHH. Are the finishes really a wax? I was unaware that wax was used as a finish. The Highwayman is a size 40, originally from www.kentaurus.de...

    Good places to shop for leather jackets?

    I have picked up nice jackets from Ebay, this site, and VLJ website (Vintage leather jackets). If you don't know your size or what you want, then that is a problem. There very few brick and mortar stores any more. Johnson Leather, San Francisco, CA Langlitz Portland, OR Insurrection Apparel...

    First Leather Jacket

    My first jacket was a bomber jacket, at 9 or 10 years old. My mother bought it for me, as well as 2 others for my 2 younger brothers. It seemed very tough, like cowhide, dark brown, with a dark brown G-1 styled fur collar. It was from Sears or Montgomery Wards, and I believe had a sheepskin...

    Anyone ever treat new Aero FQHH with Pecards?

    I bought a near new FQHH Aero Halfbelt. It was a size too large, so I used a drawing up technique, by soaking it in hot water, then drying it in a dryer, at a super low setting, with a dozen damp towels, taking it out every 10 minutes, turning it inside out at every cycle, drawing up, and it...
