    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    The fit of the jacket after a few days wear is incredible - I doubt it could fit any better. After giving this jacket a look on the Rugged West site I thought about the Fox Creek Leather Trucker jacket I bought about 12 years and how similar it is to your RW. It's not exactly alike (snaps...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow! Super nice Type-3 - I like it almost as much as my 2 Aero Type-3's. However the fit of yours is perfection and the western vibe of the back yoke almost matches the stitching on the back pockets of your jeans! As always a look that has substance. I checked the website for this jacket and...

    30 year old Steerhide Aero...SQUEAKY

    I many leather jackets that are rather boisterous and just let them be as loud as they want to be. After all, they want to be worn and are letting you know how much they appreciate being worn by creaking at you. I do have a few that are rather 'soft spoken' in regards to announcing their...

    Driving in leather jackets. Seat belt abrasions.

    I've never had an issue with either vehicle when driving while wearing a leather jacket. The restraint belt is (should be) height adjustable to ensure a proper fit. The only issue I've had with my Aero Type-3 jackets in particular is the buttons on the side adjustment tabs rubbing against the...

    leather type 3 options

    What a wonderful way to describe the Aero T3 in Navy - I couldn't have put it any better.

    leather type 3 options

    Another option would be Vicenza HH for an Aero T3 - I have two (Navy & Natural) - really nice hides that break in quickly. My navy one is a grain monster the natural one less so. I've attached some images for reference - I got the Navy one on 9/22 and the natural one on 5/23. No fit pics as...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Nothing weird about wearing a leather jacket indoors. I do it quite often - especially now with the cooler Fall/Winter weather here in central VA. Why wear an itchy sweater when you can slip into a nice leather jacket that only becomes more comfortable the longer and more often you wear it...

    Wow! Super cool Budweiser jacket and the bowling alley backdrop is icing on the cake! Really neat image.

    Trucker-shorts! (shorter than Bermudas)

    Oh my. Apparently they were a local national treasure for their attire and public squabbling. I can't even imagine considering wearing anything like that much less wearing it in public. Still, I admire their onions for being who they were. The world certainly has some colorful inhabitants!

    Always the picture of personal style - this is one of my favorites of your multitude of jackets. Cleanly styled, purposeful and classic. Perfect!

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    Wow - I never thought wearing a particular style of leather jacket would provoke an altercation. How did you come by this point of view? I see many people (locally & in the media) that are all tattooed up, piercings everywhere there is skin and attire that makes me wonder if they were extras...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow! Super nice Jacket - Don't recall seeing this one before. Really love the detail of the back panel - very stylish. Is that Navy Vicenza w/contrasting stitching? Reminds me of my Aero T-3 although the styles are totally different.

    Wow! Super nice trucker - the color (Cordovan?) is really special looking as is the zipper closure. Extremely nice grain on all panels. Lucky you - I'm jealous!

    I Flew To Scotland to Pick up My Aero Leather Coat in Person

    Thanks so much for sharing your in person Aero experience and the wonderful series of images reflecting the event. The jacket is super nice and the locale (especially the last image of you/your companion) is almost like being there. Congratulations on your Aero jacket and thanks again for sharing!

    Leather smell changes

    Do you live near a waste water treatment or rendering plant? As you only notice the smell when outside maybe it's something other than the jacket(s).

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    Your JL trucker has seasoned up nicely during the 3 week challenge. Other than the snap closures and quilted lining, it looks quite a bit like my Aero T-3 in Navy Vicenza. I got that jkt a little over a year ago and it has really broken in nicely. I wore it for a few days this week in...
