    Vanson Enfield HH - fit and collar fold line

    I’m also surprised it’s not fully broken in given it’s age - I actually planned to soak wash the who jacket in bathtub and give it a good feeding afterwards. This brings me to another point - don’t think I’ve ever handled a fully broken in HH jacket in my life yet!

    Vanson Enfield HH - fit and collar fold line

    Thanks to a fellow lounger in Taiwan - this heavyweight Vanson Enfield in HH arrived today. It’s size 42 so too big for me (40), but I knew this when buying it and plan to layer thick jumpers underneath this jacket when it gets really cold. Plan to get a mouton collar made for it as well. I put...

    Simmons Bilt Daytona in black mustang size 38

    Beautiful jacket! I’m 40 so this will be a squeeze for me. Mustang is super dense!

    Worlds heaviest denim shorts - Soso 33oz cut off shorts!

    Some like it thick n heavy! Ever since I got a Samurai Jeans monster belt earlier this year - I’ve been wanting to buy a pair of heavy denim shorts to go with it. And yes I’m a shorts person for temps higher than 18 Celsius and I pair shorts with heavy HH MC jackets ;) The heaviest I could...

    Aero vs Johnson for leather cafe racer?

    Thanks! I actually thought about selling this CR several times - BUT each time I put it on I feel it’s almost tailored for me except perhaps the sleeves are 1/2” longer than ideal. 3 years ago I had much larger waist and no way I could squeeze in this jacket. I had fatty liver diagnosis and...

    Aero vs Johnson for leather cafe racer?

    How about JL CR can be both comfortable and fitted ;)

    Aero Horween horse hides

    Well said about HH jackets - it's a journey I'd compare to Japanese martial arts black belts. I've seen the belts on a 3rd dan (or 3rd degree black belt) or higher grade start to wear out and the white core becomes visible on the edges where the knot is tied hundreds or even thousands of times...

    G1 Fit check

    If not too late to return/exchange it, I’d suggest trying to swap it with size 44. If that turns out to be terribly snug, then exchange to 46. The jacket you have now looks like 2 sizes larger on the back.

    First Aero b-6 fit check

    In my 30s I had a jacket that was one size bigger and I loved it - it was my biggest motivation for doing bench presses but I eventually gave up lol! A decade later I finally gained like 1/2 size chest not from bench press but wearing a 25KG vest and do 50-100 press ups! So yes it could be an...

    G1 Fit check

    Whilst I don’t own a G1 or any flight jackets, it looks to me the back has too much material especially around the waist, when zipped up. The front looks totally fine though.

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    Thank you for everyone's replies on my naive question. True most new/near new aero jackets on secondary market are made from CXL HH or SH, but I do see the occassional ones in Baladassi, Vincenza or Pinnacle, or even goatskin. There is of course not a single cause but I gather: 1) pattern...

    Shangri La Varenne for Sale.. BARGAIN

    Catch & Release - I absolutely love how this jacket is tailored and the craftsmanship is top notch - but it turned out the 26" sleeves coupled with the 19.5" shoulders, are just a tad too long for me. Up for grabs at the same price £275 plus shipping (£10 for UK, other countries please get in...

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    That’s wise decision!! I always look at the ‘replace-ability’ of a jacket - which is why I didn’t think twice of selling my HWM - I could always, always easily buy another HWM in the future if I want to. But a custom 5oz weight LW HH jacket? No way I’m going to sell it if it fits me. It would be...

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    Quote me a price if you really don’t want to keep it! I could just get it altered!

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    Actually no - your size is 46 - if I do bench presss 5 times a week in 10 years I could hit 44 but 46 is unreachable lol

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    Thank you that’s sound advice for the Vanson Enfield! Do I recall you have a super heavy and tough CHP? Can’t remember if it’s aero or LW. Well if you ever want to move it on - PM me!

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    That West Ride CHP - well I’ll be dreaming of its fluffy collar! Not a fan of bullhide though. I can’t explain why just prefer smooth finish. I was also looking for a JL super goat for a long time but they just don’t come up for sale.

    Just noticed I’m now ‘one of the regulars’ ‼️ what’s the next level called?
