    Aero Steerhide

    My Aero Steerhide jacket is going on three years old, I've actually started preferring the steer hide over my other FQHH Aero's. The steer hide has a beautiful grain and once broken in is incredible, it's heavier and does take longer to break it though.

    Tom, that's a gorgeous jacket. If your in the Chicago area it's perfect timing for that jacket with snow forecast for Saturday.

    Import Duties....... What the Hell?

    Totally agree with Belfastboy, go USPS. On the guitars I've shipped the duties and customs charges are always less to nothing compared to UPS or FED EX. The info I found came down to the shipping company use 3rd party companies to handles the duties and customs and can charge absorbanant fees...

    To throat latch, or not to throat latch?

    My latest 1930's HB was ordered without the latch, on my previous HB it prevented me from forming the collar well.

    "Perfecto" Style Jacket

    I've had Aero, Vanson and Schott over the years. For riding I always seem to grab my old Vanson, but for style the Aero is hard to beat. The Schott's look great but the fit never worked for me. Some of my Vanson's are over 20 years old now, they don't patina like Aero's but they are solidly...

    Schott 689H

    Do the new 689H no longer have the fused in leather stiffener to make the horse hide thicker? I had a 689H about 5 years ago, that had the fused liner under the quilted liner to make the leather feel stiffer.

    New to me Johnson Leathers ebay buy

    I talked to Alan at Johnson Leathers and I'm considering having the knit bottom removed and changing the knit cuffs to leather as well. I think the jacket would be perfect for layering a wool sweater during the winter following ButteMT61's suggestion. Removing the knit bottom takes care of...

    That's really cool about your son, I hope he sticks with it. I also had a 1969 black Les Paul with the T-top pickups best sound ever, but mine looked like it was dragged under truck for a decade.

    New to me Johnson Leathers ebay buy

    Received the jacket today, It's actually better than the pictures except the size. It was listed as having a 21" pit to pit, I haven't measured it but it's got to be closer to 23. The leather is unbelievable, I was mistaken earlier it's actually steer and about 2.5oz. Compared to my Steer...
