    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    No; if the cost went from 900 to 600, that would be a 33% off discount. Going from 600 to 900 is a 50% increase. You take the percentage as a percentage of the starting value.

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    The Badalassi is an additional upcharge, and fairly steep at +120 GBP. It's great leather, can't go wrong with it. It's a matter of preference, but to me I don't think it's any better than CXLSH. They're different, but one isn't better than the other. And I love CXL Steer, and it's no...

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    600 to 900 is an increase of 50%. 300 is 50% of 600. I wonder what's going on over there that has driven costs up by that much. I've heard inflation has been worse around the world than it was in the US, so maybe that's it? It's very steep, especially after the 15% off sale. I'm more glad I...

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Holly told me 100gbp up charge for the custom back, and the discount doesn't extend to customization or leather upgrades. So it'll probably work out to around 10% discount on the total price, and that's not too bad for an extensive, non-standard customization like that. Woulda went for a Type...

    Which leather jacket for motorcycle (preferably brown) ?

    The V7 is great, but it's been sold out in oxblood since about 2018. Oxblood being basically octagon dyed overly long, and they can't source octagon anymore since the tannery that made it burned down and no longer exists.

    is there such a thing as applying too much conditioner and making your leather too soft?

    Yes. Overconditioning can damage the leather.

    Aero Roughout Jerky Horsehide Type III, Size 42: "The Roughneck Brawler"

    I know Aero draws a hard line at 1960 for what styles they are interested in producing But as an 80s kid I always thought the added pockets made the jacket. They added practicality and the way they were constructed created two very useful inside pockets too, just very ingenious and practical...

    Aero Roughout Jerky Horsehide Type III, Size 42: "The Roughneck Brawler"

    I like this. Rough out leather beats suede for this style of jacket in my opinion. Waxing the outside is a good plan. If Aero would do handwarmers on their Type III, I would order this, with a natural ecru shearling lining.

    Nicks boots 60th anniversary sale

    I recently got into PNW boots, Nicks and Frank's. They're my favorite boots by far, for comfort, durability, protection, and secure footing. They're expensive, but worth it, and they put all others to shame.

    Regius two tone Hercules!!

    Wow, homerun. You really nailed it this time. It looks like it was made for you (lol, of course it does -- it was!) the contrasting panels do make quite a statement. I wonder how they will develop with age?

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    It's understandable that you'd be upset by a place claiming to be official, but not actually being who they represented themselves to be. But that does NOT mean that this guy is really Red Tornado, any more than the guy in your spam folder is really the prince of Nigeria. Companies have to...

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    I've had good experiences with Red Tornado products. Good quality, matching the description/photos, good value for the price.. I buy from DearyLeZing Store on Aliexpress, and have never had a problem. A lot of the sellers on Ali are guilty of misrepresenting their product, and not keeping...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion

    I'm glad you like it. The pre-sales shenanigans turned a lot of people here off, myself included. But if you have it, you paid for it, and you're happy with it, enjoy it and don't worry about what people think.

    Does anyone here have the Red Tornado RGT supply jacket clone?

    I have some of their shirts and pants, and their measurement charts are pretty accurate. They are pretty good quality as well, for the items I've bought from them. XXL Seems to correspond to a 42 top, so I think 3 XL would be a 44 and XL would be a 40.

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    It sounds like if this can be done it's well beyond your skill level.
