    Leather Jackets on Ebay is Like Heroin

    A lot of times there's a size tag that says 42 and they'll say the "pit to pit" its 21".

    Leather Jackets on Ebay is Like Heroin

    I agree some items are "a pig in a poke" and there's always going to be a moment of doubt when you open the box. Still I think if it's a quality brand, you can see the size tag, and the seller has good feedback, you're pretty much dealing with a known commodity. No?

    Leather Jackets on Ebay is Like Heroin

    Good to hear your story. Misery demands company. Sometimes I, too, think they have feelings and there's a closet pecking order, which is sick.

    Leather Jackets on Ebay is Like Heroin

    I'm off work for a while and have to admit that Ebay is a kick. If you sort of have your "feed" set Aero, Vanson, or whatever, every time you check there's some new gem there. Of course, they all aren't exactly your size or your cup of tea, but a lot of them are! It seems like if you keep...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I don't know about you guys, but a few times I've worked at places where it came out that certain fellow employees were doing stuff that wasn't kosher to say the least. It reminds me of Miss Marple: any behavior or motive in the world can occur in an English village.

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    Thanks old friend. If that works under a really tight jacket, it solves my problem, (killjoy ;) ). Of course, a lot of times other people are warm and I'm cold, so we'll see if it works the same for me. I'm also a big fan of Patagonia, in general.

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    Actually I'm usually capable of slightly greater foresight that that. I envisioned a "niche" jacket that I would put on when it was already damn cold (for me, which is the only gauge that matters) and wear on a ride when it's not expected to get warmer, which can happen. I figured that, as an...

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    I do think that near the beach is often foggier and cooler than more inland where you were and, in any case, I know when I go out and it's in the 50's, I'm freezing. Meanwhile I have been researching the idea of shearling vests and some don't seem so bulky and I could really see where they...

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    I'm not so familiar with shearling vests. Are they warmer than fleece? In any case, I looked them up on the internet and they seem too bulky to fit under a jacket.

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    Were I to buy one more motorcycle jacket it would be for when it's really cold (which to me is anything in the 50's). I tend to be a weather wimp and don't like feeling uncomfortable, but I'm not exactly ready for an electric vest either. I'm sort of fascinated by a fleece lined Highwayman...

    Thinking about an Aero Trail Rider

    If it was a little longer with zip sleeves, I could really go for it.

    For Sale: Vanson Enfield 42

    I'm no authority, but if you check the Insurrection Leather site, where they sell them, they say the Enfield runs large and if you want a tight fit go down a size (and if you want a roomier fit, go with your regular coat size). I can believe it because it seems more than one size too large for...

    For Sale: Vanson Enfield 42

    For what it's worth, I'm putting it on Ebay starting tonight at 5:30. The "buy it now" with shipping will be the same as I offered it for here. If someone can shag it for less, more power to you. It's a great jacket. I guess I'm officially an FL'er now. Of course it hasn't sold yet but look...

    For Sale: Vanson Enfield 42

    I can't PM you either. I think the ad says, "Competition;" but there's a lot in there. vansonenfield4sale@yahoo.com

    If you read the ad in the classifieds, you're the heavy head I quoted as saying it weighed seven pounds.

    2 Additional Vanson 42 Pix

    I'm not a computer geek. When I tried to check it out before posting, the bulletin board stopped me and said, "too many pix."
