    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Thank you for the Vinegar tip, worked great for cleaning up the hardware of a jacket I just received from Japan. Both snaps and zippers work and engage better after the cleaning. No negative effect noticed on the leather or the zipper tape. Before and after:

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    I wouldn't give any praise to Bolt in the end. If it took the direct intervention from the manufacturer for this reseller to treat the customer with any respect then all praise goes to Aero and none to Bolt from my perspective. Doesn't seem like they "worker together", but, of course, we don't...

    Double Helix Works?

    @58panheadfan Love your Breakman, for me that is what I associate mostly with you, kina like it's your signature. And I love the new "heads up" and "standing proud" style of your photos instead of the "head down" style.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Perhaps one day I'll consider it. Leather jackets serve me well down to around -5c. Then I go for my wool coat or 740N heavy wool peacoat. Can layer quite a lot with those. Today I was steaming in my jacket at +5c as I was walking quite rapidly. Had 3 layers under the jacket as well, which was a...

    Red Wing 8044 Merchant Oxford - Size 41 EU / 8D US

    Location: Estonia Shipping in EU : ~30eu Price : 80eu Nicely worn in and honestly loved pair of shoes, but I have to admit that they are slightly too small for me. Would gladly trade for a size 41,5EU. Love the pull up leather and unstructured toe.

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    Holy crap that sounds awful. Seems like a real douche move by Bolt while Aero did everything correctly. I'd contact Aero if I were and report how Bolt treated you as a customer. Hard to believe that Aero would be ok with this.

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    You went through Thurston? And they refuse to refund/redo? It is their mistake.

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    Thanks for clarifying! So weird that your order was shipped without QC pictures confirmed by the customer. Seems like it should be a mandatory step in the process.

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    What are the differences between a highwayman with zip sleeves and a zip sleeve highwayman? Sounds confusing.

    Shangri—La Heritage

    Well I look at it this way - mobility on jacket in general means moving your arms (at the shoulders). You can basically move your arms in 4 directions : up, down, backwards and forwards. Downwards is not an issue as they are already pointed downwards. Bi-swing back, shoulder gussets and back...

    Shangri—La Heritage

    @wukong Sleeves : I'd like them a bit longer, but definitely within reasonable fit I'd say. Mentioned chest discomfort : Seems to me that it's partly related to the relatively trim upper arms and partly related to rather narrow chest (not pit to pit!) and partly related to the armhole height...

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    So what's the current situation? No jacket and no refund?

    Driving in leather jackets. Seat belt abrasions.

    Mint jacket > safety. Avoid seatbelts.
