    Anybody familiar with Ace Boots, Orange Co. USA?

    Nice looking bikes there, man. Though I like the Nightster, I think you did the right thin to go with the Deluxe. Classy and no need for mods unless you want em!

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Hi guys. I'm a bit of a newb here. But as a rider, I gotta say this is a great thread. Love me some quality engineers. Best looking and most functional motorcycle boot made, IMHO. I just want to add a player to the game here. Ace Boots of Orange Co. California. I was really lucky to run into...

    Anybody familiar with Ace Boots, Orange Co. USA?

    Went really well, actually. Thanks for asking. Surprisingly comfortable for being essentially brand new. And those Cat's Paw soles are nice and sticky when I have to back my bike out of the garage. I rigged up a shifter condom on my Harley to keep the boots from getting marked at this point. I...

    Anybody familiar with Ace Boots, Orange Co. USA?

    Cool indeed. Thanks for the compliments. I'm starting the wear-in process today. Gonna put a little sleeve over the shifter of my bike to protect the boot against a shifter mark and do my regular daily commute with them. Though, after the boot gets a little patina, like below, I'll let a mark...

    10.5, as mentioned above, Bretron. ;) The boot maker, Robert Medillin was kind enough to return my email. Turns out he's still making boots and filling orders as they come in small batches here in the U.S. I believe he said he's also continuing to fill orders in Japan. If any of yall are...

    Hmm. Well let's just say under the $800 they go for retail. :) I'm astounded. I don't think the shop knew what they had.

    Anybody familiar with Ace Boots, Orange Co. USA?

    Thanks for taking a look guys. They definitely look and feel like $800 boots. I am going to hold off on wearing them on the bike for now. I messaged the Ace Boots website to see if they are still up and running and if they have any care instructions and additional information. It would be a...

    Anybody familiar with Ace Boots, Orange Co. USA?

    Hi guys. Not much of a poster on this site. But I always enjoy checking in on occasion and learning more about high quality motorcycle gear. I ride with a Vanson Continental Comet and an old Schott Perfecto and I learned more about them here. I happened upon a pair of great engineer boots...

    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    The black panels are waxed cotton. I love the look, but I'm biased. :) They are there because they allow the jacket to breathe a bit more in hotter weather. You'll notice they are in places where breathability might come in handy and where the protection of leather might not be as important.

    Thought you guys may dig my new Vanson Continental Comet

    "Slimming." My girlfriend will like that one, though I'm not sure she'll agree. ;) Thanks for the nice words, guys. A while down the road, I'll post another pic of it worn in.

    Good question. I own an old Brooks cafe racer, bout mid 60s vintage, that doesn't have the two-way. The zipper just starts several inches above the hem of the jacket, which can also work well.

    You got that right. I've been wearing the jacket mostly every day since I got it. It's starting to loosen up nicely.

    Thought you guys may dig my new Vanson Continental Comet

    They are waxed cotton. A tad more stretchy (but not like stretch fabric) and they breathe. I like the way they look, but form follows function on this jacket. They make the jacket a bit more comfortable in higher temperatures. And they are located in spots you may not need the full protection of...

    Thought you guys may dig my new Vanson Continental Comet

    Well, actually NOS, since Vanson doesn't make this model anymore. These pictures are when it was pretty much never worn, so it's still breaking in. It's gonna look great with some patina. The jacket was built when Vanson still made them all in the USA. What a great rider. I can be up to 80...

    Vanson Rush Jacket

    "Softtail, what Vanson model is that? Looks great in the brown." Thanks. It's the Vanson Continental Comet. Unfortunately, Vanson makes it no more. I bought mine NOS from an original owner.

    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    I had a Sporty for years, 1911. Great little bike. I do love my Slim. It's more a stripped down city bobber than a tourer. You'll get as many opinions as there are model Harleys as far as which HD to get. Go with your gut, needs, preference and enjoy!
