    Five Star Leather Jackets

    You only turn 40 once so get yourself something nice. I think Johnson Leathers would be a great resource here because they can make any jacket that you could imagine. They also have the experience to shepard your project so that the end result fits well and looks good.

    689HH break in process.

    I have jackets that I have worn hard for years and I have never had one come apart like that. I would reach out to Schott and request a repair or exchange.

    Will your new jacket ever look vintage?

    Boyo is spot on here. It feels more like a cashmere sweater than a leather jacket, and I’m not even joking about that. The sheen has dulled down with wear although a light coat of Pecards brings it right back. I am very happy with this jacket but it is stupidly expensive and I will not pretend...

    Will your new jacket ever look vintage?

    I think that very few of my jackets will look worn while they are in my possession, not many are worn much and some not at all. One exception is my IH horsehide riders jacket. The damn thing is so comfortable that I reach for it instinctively on my way out the door. An although it is designed...

    looking for the OLD Vanson jacket guide?

    Thank you @AbbaDatDeHat! I too found this old chart very handy when buying my first couple Vanson jackets and the current sizing guide is a poor replacement in my opinion.

    Confounded by sizing

    Stuart from LW wouldn‘t even offer me shoulder measurements because he says they are meaningless. I don’t know if I agree with him, but your recent experience certainly lends credit to his statement. There are a number of factors that determine fit, and P2P and shoulder width don’t tell the...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I’m sure there is a forum out there somewhere for people who celebrate mediocre crap that doesn't fit well but didn’t cost too much either.

    Doubts about authenticity of Real McCoy's Buco J100.

    I have four or five Shinki horsehide jackets and none of them smell like leather anymore. A couple of them had no odor even when they were brand new.

    AERO's undersized zips

    I had a similar experience with my Bootlegger, but I think it was more like 3 months in my case. I had the zipper replaced with a #8 riri and it hasn’t been a problem since then. And Marc is correct that this is not unique to Aero. The Talon zipper on my heavy LW CHP gave out after about a year...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I’ve got two sledgehammers with me in my van but unfortunately I’m wearing my IH N-1 today. Maybe tomorrow.

    I wish it belonged to me!

    Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?

    Truer words were never spoken! I have proven this to myself with hand tools, guns, and leather jackets. In almost every case I went back later and bought the item that I truly coveted from the beginning.

    A2 fit

    ^^^^^^ Agreed.

    Fair Usage Bumping Policy

    When I see a long string of repeated bumps with no drops in price it smacks of stubborn desperation.

    Regius two tone Hercules!!

    That is a wonderful jacket, and the roughout says Ton loud and clear!

    Jacket Question

    Man I haven’t thought about her in years. She posted all the time when I first started hanging out here. She has a very cool collection.

    Soft leather jackets in the $500 to $1,000 price range?

    The naked cowhide from Johnson Leather is quite soft and wearable right out of the box. Most of their jackets are made for riding but they can make pretty much anything you might want and in this hide it would probably be in your budget.

    Aero vs Simmons Bilt - leather sample - customer experience

    I like the way you think, I may have to borrow that line myself.
