I hope I’m not alone with this problem.
I know exactly what jacket I want, but it’s not the widely and commonly for sale model that show up in Classified or eBay almost weekly.
I even posted a WTB ad!
But - what I discovered is - while waiting for that dream jacket to show up for sale (2nd...
I meant it as a joke - sorry I’m not very good at telling jokes :).
I belong to a Japanese jiujitsu club/dojo, and we are all asked to sew some stupid club badges onto our Gi shoulders - where it gets grappled and twisted the most! The stupidity of these traditions… it takes less than 10...
Wow size down 2 sizes?! Is that black HH showing some teacore? Very nice!
I’m so torn between buying a aero CHIPS or LW CHP. It is torture! I don’t want to buy both even if I had the money - I put up my HWM for sale to raise funds for this purchase.
I now rotate between my natural HH KoTR and...
I so love the TB model! If I were ordering new from aero I’d either pick TB or CHIPS - too bad they don’t make removable mouton collar for CHIPS!
And they recently put up the price :(
Thank you guys it’s good to know all this! I should have clarified this is for short jackets only. I hope aero continue this moderately heavy HH going forward
Because I’ve been researching into Cal and LW CHP jackets and how heavy the good ones can be etc - out of curiosity I weighed my two aero jackets:
- HWM 40 steerhide 2.5KG - that’s a shocker it’s so light!! I bought this second hand from Japan though.
- KoTR 40 HH 3.2KG - about 7.1Ib I think...
Could send him a few roles of Kevlar thread I buy off eBay ;) - mind you kevlar will just cut through the leather instead of snapping when tension is high!
I’ve gone crazy over a heavy weight LW Custom CHP or Ryder in 5oz HH - my size is 40-42.
Honestly I cannot afford forking out 2-3K on a new order and pay painful import duties to UK customs.
Anyone of you lucky guys want to sell your LW CHP or Ryder please PM me - I promise to pay a crazy good...
Keeping an eye on this interesting topic. I heard LW CHP is the heaviest! I wish a few May pop up in classified here - ordering a brand new one and pay hefty import duties for UK really isn’t great
I stumbled upon this https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/custom-lost-worlds-chp-schott-per-2.106352/
What do you guys think LW CHP vs Cal CHP? Or are we talking about a complete different league here?
Have a look at this one chaps - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305637432482?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yCaLmi-yTmG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FdECUgLpTcK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Interestingly I can see 20 watchers on this jacket, and 30 watchers on the jacket I first asked...
Went to a track with kids to ride bicycle on a windy and rainy day. First time I zipped my new aero KoTR all the way to the top! It got proper wet too! This jacket feels sooooo comfortable now.
Thank you Ton this is much appreciated.
I did look at Al’s as well. The ones I can find on the bay look like cowhide to me. I somehow want horse or even goat.
What happened to the 9lb Cal? Guess you sold it! It may fetch twice the price ten years on!
