    FS: Aero Highwayman (Connelly Steerhide, Black) sz. 46

    Absolutely correct. Size tag is a holy scripture to me but not with the Highwayman. This jacket fits me exactly the same as a size 40, 42 and 44. It might have been roomier for all I know but with such a boxy pattern, it certainly didn't show.

    Bought this SCHOTT (identify?)

    One 418-blah-blah was absolutely the most heinous cross zip jacket that I've ever handled. It felt and looked cheaper than the cheapest of the Pakistani specials. I sold it and immediately refunded the buyer because as I was boxing it, I realized I can't in good faith sell this shit to anyone...

    Aero Leather Zip-Sleeve Highwayman in Badalassi Steerhide Size 42

    It is worth noting that the condition of the jacket plays a major role, too. The newer, like your jacket - The more it will fetch. Someone doing a quick eBay search before pulling a trigger on a brand new jacket will in all likelihood be more inclined to spend a hundred extra for a used one...

    Vintage Vanson Model B, would you consider this "cracking"?

    Challenger is a space shuttle. Glad I could help. Don't worry about this jacket, it's as good as new.

    Sadly, rose smell is all gone. But! I can run over to the local luxury perfumery and put them samples to good use.

    FS: Aero Highwayman (Connelly Steerhide, Black) sz. 46

    The HWM is supposed to be a shorter jacket and this one measures as close to the OTR standard (of a time) as I had ever seen. At 25" back, it is, perhaps, even longer. :) Absolutely! Can't get no grainier than this. Agreed. And since dropping, Aero really had no business calling their jackets...

    Why is horsehide better than steerhide?

    Hh wasn't well. He thought that thick hide could act as a thick skin and once he began realizing that things don't work that way... That was it for him. He certainly wasn't banned for believing that steerhide is inferior to horsehide. Because then I would get banned for saying that kangaroo is...

    Please school me on Schott Perfecto variants

    You haven't mentioned if you're buying a brand new jacket from Schott themselves or used one and that's majorly important because none of the sizing suggestions are valid if we're not comparing the jackets from the same era. Schott is constantly doing minute alterations to the patterns so one...

    Please school me on Schott Perfecto variants

    They're literally all the same, except for the Vanson C2. Schott Perfecto models are a rabbit hole of absolutely no consequence to you, as a wearer. Also, don't get a made to measure leather jacket because it's never made to measure nor you need it. The OTR has got you covered.

    FS: Leather (Moto) Blazer, sz. 42 / L

    Some pieces I listed are really cool but this one is the coolest. Had I landed this jacket before spending infinite amount of money on CCP, I wouldn't have looked back but as it stands, I'm trying to get some money back, minimize and possibly monobrand my wardrobe. But this thing is...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    I can see two reasons - Zipped up, the front of the jacket will pull at where the zipper machine is, which might leave creases and secondly, you have to be careful unzipping a jacket that's not on the body as the angle isn't right no more. I've had few zippers skip teeth like that.

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Well, the main difference is that you are going to have to unzip the jacket once taking it out of the closet.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    But that's the thing - Why would I want my pants to fade and fray??? And does the fading, fraying and all that crap really look good or have we simply been brainwashed into believing it does because Levi's wanted to peddle more shitty, cheap-ass, mass-produced pants?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yep. That and medial. Social or otherwise. Ditto. There are SO many fantastic utility pants out there that fit like a dream, only to be completely overshadowed by jeans. . . People wear what they know and they don't know any better. Jeans are so burned into collective consciousness that it's...

    Much improved look. The pants are great. Don't shorten them. They work well with the jackets, better than jeans. I don't understand why the hell is the jeans x leather jacket combo such a staple.
