    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I wore the same jacket today. I got it in October and it's one hell of a jacket. Tough as nails and looks killer to boot. The jacket took about 2 months of wear to really settle in but its the best fitting denim jacket I've ever worn. The price on these things is pretty up there but I personally...

    Planning my next jacket: Aero Cafe Racer vs Indian Ranger..

    I'd go for the CR as your first/only jacket. I grab my Sheene (CR with a dress collar) more than any other jacket when the weather permits. It's black FQHH and really goes with anything. I actually have the wine sateen liner as well and it's really great for warmer weather, and makes the closer...

    Aero liner & raw denim bleed

    Just to clarify my jeans dont have a bleeding issue either—no blue legs or fingers. They just have transferred a bit of indigo on my jacket liner because I wear them both a lot. I presoak all of my jeans and dont have any substantive issue staining issue but ill see transfer onto belts and some...

    Aero liner & raw denim bleed

    I've been wearing my IH 634s in their 14oz denim with my Aero Sheene and have noticed a decent amount of bleed onto the liner of Sheene. I pre-soaked the pair too so I'm curious how you've avoided bleed. Maybe the sateen just likes indigo. I love the bleed personally, gives the jacket a lot more...

    FS: Aero Palomino/grizzly black sz.44

    I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it was a 40. Super cool jacket.

    New Aero Bootlegger v. 2.0 CXL Brown

    Great make-up on this one and it fits you great. That cordovan steer is a thing of beauty. Really think you dialed in the fit and specs on this particular quest. I'm personally glad it took you a couple of tries because I've been wearing the 2.0 a bunch and man I love that jacket.

    Lightly used RMC J 24

    I think this is an ideal second-hand jacket if you're looking for a teacore patina. None of the wear in the photos is unique--the zipper and bottom hem will always wear off first, so no matter who wears the jacket it will pretty much look the same wear-wise at this point in its life. Back...

    What are your 2019 leather jacket buying plans or aspirations?

    My plan for 2019 is to really break in the jacket's I've got, and potentially order an Aero Cross zip for arrival in late fall. I've been wearing my Sheene or Bootlegger almost every day now that it's cold, but I am hoping to really tear into my Iron Heart trucker once it warms up. Its got some...

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    Does anyone have any experience with Wesco's olive burlap leather? Just picked up the last pair of Morrisons on the Iron Heart Outlet and am curious about the hide. I'm also considering waxing the boots to get a similar look to the Standard and Strange/Wesco Knuckle Dragger collab. I've got a...

    N-1 Deck jacket that won’t break the bank. Help!

    Denimio can proxy Buzz ricksons N-1. Heres the link to the khaki version which is a pretty decent price IMO and comparable to the IH you linked. https://www.denimio.com/buzz-rickson-s-br12031-n-1-deck-jacket-khaki.html I’ve bought denim from denimio before, great experience.

    You Tube Luxury Leather Video

    This sort of thing makes total sense to me. Austin and Nashville have a lot of similarities in terms of culture and disposable income and luxury shops like this are all over the place. I recently went to an 'Espresso and Leather Shop' and the set-up there was just like this. Incredibly well...

    What are your 2019 leather jacket buying plans or aspirations?

    I was thinking about ordering a custom Ridley in cordovan at some point, no immediate plans but I can't wait to see how yours turns out! That pattern looks incredible and I'd love to have some cordovan hide at some point.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks! The details on the jacket are phenomenal, ton did an incredible job with the customization and I can only imagine that the upcoming 3.0 will be similarly endowed. The collar tab and BR zip sleeves really add a lot to the Bootlegger pattern. I thought the jacket fit a little big at first...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Breaking in/remolding my new (to me) Bootlegger. Really comfortable jacket with excellent mobility, makes throwing tennis balls easy. The jacket is over 8lbs so it's a bit of a workout too. I love the brown chromexcel steerhide in the sun, it has a really rich depth. I'm the third owner of the...

    My new favorite jacket custom Aero Sheene

    Great fit and lovely jacket. The Sheene pattern is leather perfection. You put together a great make-up, the cordovan is a great choice.

    Four month review - Aero Board Racer black FQHH or leather jacket romance

    Fantastic jacket and review. Fits you great. I love seeing photos of people breaking in their jackets! As someone who obsessively browsed threads like this while putting together my first Aero jacket I can say firsthand how valuable and helpful (and enabling) content like this is. Bravo all around.

    wash your jeans?

    I wear a ton of raw jeans and have experience with a number of different brands and have found that you can really just treat them however you want. I wear denim for work and have washed several of my pairs weekly and they really have not experienced major color loss. In my opinion the major...

    That is a fantastic jacket. Collar really pops and adds a lot of texture. Excellent specs on that bootlegger!
