    First Leather Jacket(s) - looking for similar styles

    If It fits you well then I think this jacket would be a fine value for $800.00. It is made By Golden Bear of San Francisco and they have a long history of making quality products. The only downside I can think of is that it will not have the resale value of a more recognizable brand but if you...

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    If it’s the jacket I’m thinking of, I remember when you listed it for sale. It had every single feature and detail I would ever want and if it was my size I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

    I think I remember that Chips, was it brown?

    Help me find a selvedge jacket?

    They didn’t used to be, but then I think they saw what all the hipsters were paying for selvedge denim and decided to get on board. if you’re OK with hand, warmer pockets and a modern baggy fit, you can get a rider jacket for under $100 from Lee.

    Help me find a selvedge jacket?

    https://www.lee.com/shop/mens-lee-101-50s-rider-jacket-EMK133.html I honestly prefer the Lee Rider (and Storm Rider) to the type 3, it think it has a better silhouette. plenty of people have made versions of this jacket without hand, warmer pockets, as were the originals. I have versions from...

    Help me find a selvedge jacket?

    You should look at vintage jackets in that case. Almost every vintage Lee Rider that I’ve seen is around 24“ back length or shorter.

    Help me find a selvedge jacket?

    I will try to measure them when I get home and post some numbers. The nice thing about IH is that they post measurements for all of their shirts and jackets. I usually wear XXXL in their jackets and I am looking for a length around 26” for sleeves and back. Some here would tell you that even...

    Help me find a selvedge jacket?

    Yes. Every once in a while IH will release a type 3 with reasonable sleeve and back length. When they did so back in 2019 I bought both the blue and black version, both around 20 oz. If I recall correctly.

    Help me find a selvedge jacket?

    +1 for Brave Star. A really good product for the price, especially considering it is made right here in California. I own at least six Iron Heart denim jackets, mainly Type 3 with a couple Lee Riders style as well. They are very well made, although they are usually at least an inch or two too...

    Driving in leather jackets. Seat belt abrasions.

    I have not experienced this problem with any of my jackets, not Even the tea core ones.

    Aero lining

    I think cotton drill is also the way to go here and that Dark blue or black would be my choice for color.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think you are going into this with the right mindset and it seems like for you the process is a big part of the fun. For that reason I think you are perfectly positioned to give Five Star a try. Even if the jacket is a failure, you will have had the opportunity to put your design skills to...

    ihj-64 fit check. *sleeves*.

    I bought the same jacket a couple months back and I have the exact same issue. I have decided to leave it alone for now, and put some good wear into it to see how the creases set in to shorten the sleeves without me doing anything. I love everything about the jacket, except for the sleeve...

    Is this Horse Hide from 5 *?

    That is incredibly frustrating! It turns an already tense situation into an adversarial one in my experience.

    leather jackets with a still-reasonable used market?

    Aero allows you to select sleeve and back length. They do not allow you to change or modify other measurements.

    Hooked on jackets? Why?

    Me too. When I was 16 I spent all of the money I saved that summer working for my Uncle in Iowa on a Filson double mackinaw. Considering the fact that 32 years have passed and I still have that jacket I would say it was money well spent! I identify with everything the OP mentioned though, I...

    Which Flat Head back design looks better?

    I have some experience with exactly this. I got back into lifting during the pandemic after a break of 12 years. I hit the gym three times a week without fail and in pretty short order a couple of jackets are too small for me. My Aero Type 3 was a perfect for when I weighed 190 with a 43” chest...

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    They don’t let me go around handing out badges or sashes but I certainly think you deserve one. And we can give your supervisor a lapel pin, or a sticker for his hardhat, that way everybody gets something!

    Is this Horse Hide from 5 *?

    I agree with Tony, impossible to tell with that heavy topcoat and printing.

    Which Flat Head back design looks better?

    I must admit I don’t know much about the difference between aniline and semi-aniline.
