Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?
As members of a forum that exists almost exclusively to present photos of us wearing various items of overpriced clothing, it rarely crosses my mind to insult others on social media who do the same. As a member of a forum that I may well consider to be an integral part of the ‚leather jacket...- Tom71

Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?
To each their own, I guess. And every hide has its time too. CXL FQHH was my first love in leather, and like most first loves, it sticks. If I want ‚comfort‘, I am sure, Patagonia or The North Face will set me up with something totally ‚toasty‘ and ‚useful‘. I don’t wear CXL stuff all that...- Tom71

What jeans are you wearing today ?
Lately I have been very impressed with NUDIE Jeans. They are from Sweden, offer some eight or so different fits, all kinds of selvage denim and start their prices at an outrageous EUR 160. (For those who are looking>: size down one from your usual Iron Heart size, i.e. waist 34 instead of 36; I...- Tom71

Wow! You rock that thing like it was made for you. This should help put an end to the lukewarm reception of all things Y2 in these parts...;)- Tom71

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Lovely. I wouldn’t worry about comfort. I have an oxleather belt from a local shop (Kreis Ledernanufaktur in Offenbach for those who care to look) which is 8-10mm. It’s an absolut monument of a belt, but can be worn without issue.- Tom71

Simmons Bilt vs. Aero Half Belt sizing question
I disagree to some extent with what’s been said before: - Aero‘s 1950s patterns run big, so I always size down one to achieve a fitted look. The pattern easily forgives that without appearing like a „naturally oversized pattern bought too small“. - SB generally run a bit larger than Aero‘s...- Tom71

Ladies Aero Irvin fit check
Weˋve Got some pretty cool jobs here! Agree with @MrProper: very good functional fit for the motorbike. As a pure everyday wearer, I would go an inch shorter.- Tom71

Footwear to go with our jackets
Tried them on in Brighton last spring but didn’t pull the tricker. Was back earlier this week and jumped on them. Paraboot „Michael“.- Tom71

Y'2 HR-41 Single Riders
+1 on all counts. Great jackets, even if the price is high. Have a look at the exact leather they use, as they sell (almost) all models in different variants ranging from from "affordable but underwhelming" to different shades of "expensives but gorgeous". I have found (most) Y2 patterns to be...- Tom71

AERO's undersized zips
I am pretty sure, Aero used Talon/Hookless, because of Ken‘s preferences. Of course, his contributions to the quality leather scene for decades cannot be rated high enough, but he could be stubborn with regard to customer requests he viewed as a departure form the pure path. I fully belief...- Tom71

Please opinion on this leather jacket fit
True this! Bought an new Explorer II in or around 2012 and got 10% off. In 1995, a Pepsi was still under EUR 3.000. AND you could just walk into a shop and buy it. It’s now EUR 11.000. Theoretically… ;)- Tom71

Y'2 Leather indigo horse hide type II SIZE 46
Chiming in here. Somebody pick it up, please. It’s a very good price for a great jacket. I have the same as a ‘Type 1‘ and can verify that the leather is gorgeous- Tom71

Please opinion on this leather jacket fit
Yes. I’ve entertained the idea of getting a NOS mid-80s Pepsi for a long time. In the end I couldn’t get myself to pay the mark-up on the current model…- Tom71

AERO's undersized zips
I kind of agree. Many makers are shying away from the heavy CXL and will only assemble thinner alternatives that lack the deep luster of the thick stuff. Johnson still uses it and Simmons Bilt used to, but the later are now charging a ridiculous “penalty fee, so I guess that doesn’t count...- Tom71
