    No more Schott forum

    That's BS. They could have locked the forum and left it readonly. They could have a competent admin implement anti spam measures. They just didn't want to.

    Estimate of Value Please

    In "vintage, nearly new" condition I could see it being worth $400-450. I didn't catch that detail when read originally. That old style comp weight leather isn't being made anymore.

    Estimate of Value Please

    In good condition, $250-300. It was probably $450-500 when new, and to have them make one now $769, maybe more if custom sizing is needed. If it's thrashed to hell, lower, unless you really love the exact way it's been beat up.

    Vintage Leather Jacket? Can't figure it out

    My guess, 80s or 70s.

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    Ton, I think I bought your LW Ryder, didn't I. If not I have the same jacket. It is a really nice example, I like mine a lot. Stuart's personality or his character doesn't bother me. If it's kayfabe or really him, doesn't matter. When he gets it right, his jackets are something else. I can...

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    In the example you provided, in both cultures, the motivation behind the actions taken, whether to wait patiently or to squeeze in politely, is to be kind. The rationale of how kindness is manifested is different. Thus your example is not a point in favor of unkindness.

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    It's pretty far off topic to be discussing these points. The way things were, and the way we got where we are, are not something we can control; they're in the past, and they're gone. They cannot be undone. We can remember them and learn from them, if anything. The way forward, however, is...

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    Nah, I don't buy that. It's always been a prudent thing to watch what you say, and how you say it. What's changed is that back in the day, the only people a lot of people felt they needed to have concern about their opinions were other white people, and really only the men's opinions held much...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Aero Type J-106 (or maybe it's a D-pocket Ridley?) size 40, natural CXL, pretty good price considering the recent increases. Just a tad small for me, based on the measurements the seller gave me in messages: shoulder is 18.5 and waist is 19” pit to pit 24.5“ body length 24.5" and arm is...

    Aero J-106 with KOTR back.

    Well if I hadn't just started an order for pretty much this exact configuration... Mine will have an inside pocket. Curious, why did you fold back and sew the belt? I thought the KOTR belt was detachable, doesn't it slide through the kidney panel?

    Vintage Cal Leather Horse Hide CHP 60s Black Motorcycle Jacket 44-46 true 25" PtoP

    Very nice, if it was a 23-24" p2p I'd be very tempted.

    Is a leather jacket & shorts a fashion faux pas?

    First rule of fashion: If you look good in nothing, you'll look good in anything.

    CPO Shirts and Shirt-Jackets

    Here's another update... I learned about the Weatherwool company through The Iron Snail's youtube channel. When I checked out their website, they had none in stock, and the way they are set up, you can place an order for $0 to be notified when they are available again for purchase. Initially...

    WTB- Aero Suede Type 3 size 40

    A bunch of them on yahoo Japan for the past few years, and not expensive at all. Keep an eye out.

    Bob Dong deck jacket.

    Only for certain merchants/items within AliExpress. Gotta read the fine print.

    Bob Dong deck jacket.

    There shouldn't be a customs charge for a return, but return postage to China can be much more than they charge for postage from China to the US.

    Bob Dong deck jacket.

    So you're saying you wish your Dong was a little bigger? Yeah that's pretty common.

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    Looks like a leather pea coat.

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?
