    Aero Cafe Racer - Collar Question

    That was the main reason I got rid of my otherwise very attractive Aero Cafe Racer. It looked great, but was a real pain in the neck ...

    Lewis Dominator review

    The jacket in the bottom picture is facing left, so it's the same set-up. Yes, Dirty Harry should be able to thread his strap just like mine and it would lay flat with no problem. It looks like he has a one too many loops on his strap.

    My new AL-8 ( grainey steerhide)

    Yep, they sure did ... Great jackets, by the way. I too have a couple of Aeros that fit just a tad big but I also prefer the roomier fit, also if I wear a sweater underneath it's not too tight.

    Lewis Dominator review

    I have a Lewis Dominator too and I dig it -- it's a classic jacket. The buckles on mine lay flat, they don't flare out and I've never had a problem with them, other than the stitching coming undone on one of the side-straps, which I had a local tailor take care of. Here a close-up of my...

    Vanson leather - Chopper jacket

    Vanson no longer produces in El Salvador? Didn't they just recently move most of their manufacturing there? Have they officially closed that factory and moved everything back to Boston?

    New Mushmans x Jelado East West "Papaya" Jacket: Brace yourself!

    I dig the Heckle & Jeckle jacket above. They're truly from another era and bring back memories -- yes the Flying Burrito Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Elvis, Billy Jack. As a little kid in the 70s, I had a jean jacket with a groovy sun and sea embroidered on the back. It was a colorful time in...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    In all fairness, and remaining objective and without regards to the whole horsehide-steerhide fiasco (simply because the jury is still out on that one), Aero, like any company, is not just one person, but a team. It takes a team to make it work, to make it succeed. We really don't know what...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    Yeah, kinda like Adolf and Rudolf Dassler, dear brothers torn apart by shoes. And I won't even mention Isaac and Ishmael ...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    Comparing the situation between Aero and Alexander with Nazi Germany's occupation of Norway would be pretty funny if it weren't so offensive. Perhaps the U.S. "liberating" Panama from Colombia in order to help it construct the Panama Canal would be a more appropriate analogy? Perhaps...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Indeed, maybe Aero could simply offer to re-label jackets of folks who are content to keep them despite being steerhide, possibly in addition to some form of compensation or discount coupon for a future purchase. At least that way people will feel like they are wearing an accurately labeled...

    New Aero Long Half-Belt

    The jacket looks great. And while the crazy Mayan calender misunderstanding did not result in much, we folks in Northern Europe are celebrating the Winter Solstice -- the shortest day of the year. From here on end (until Summer that is), it's uphill sun-wise as the days grow longer. It's a...

    lil joe's leather

    I can definitely recommend Fox Creek. And Legendary USA offers a few cool looking vests, no doubt made be Schott.

    Are they really that bad? I thought they were popular among bikers.

    Schott Article

    Looks nice. Is it cowhide?

    lil joe's leather

    This is the manufacturer behind the 'Sons of Anarchy' vests. I heard Lil Joe himself was a One Percenter (and not in the Thurston Howell kind of way).

    I finally got my Crown Jewel In my Collection!

    So Cal-Leathers only use horsehide, or do they also use other hides? I'm surprised they don't get as much mention as the other jacket manufacturers around here. I guess it's the price and the limited style of jacket? Yeah, Langlitz only use goat and cowhide.
