    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The Hooch Hauler strikes again! Visiting Tallinn. Went to watch my first football game. Open air stadium, -3 degrees Celsius. Also found a statue that fits the TFL spirit quite well(maybe not the leather jacket side of it though).

    Aero Highwayman Length Check Help Needed

    With that pair of pants (or anything with a similar rise, which seems quite high already) I'd want the jacket to be longer. My own technical ideal is covering the belt (completely) but not covering the front pockets (completely). From the back it looks great on you, only the front should be...

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

    Lovely story! Congratulations! I remember talking to Aero about the VAT thing and they mentioned that if you come pick it up in person you can ask for a VAT refund at the Airport to get the UK VAT you paid back and (hopefully) not get to pay your own local VAT upon arrival. Basically saving not...

    Boots for sale (Sizes ~41-42EU) : Red Wing, Frye

    Update: Added some updated photos of the 9016 model after some deep waxing using Rapide leatherwax and Sno-Seal for some serious water resistance. Made the leather a bit darker and much more interesting as well.

    Simmons Bilt Roadster pics

    Great first post! The jacket looks lovely and the fit looks spot on. Maybe would add 0.25" to body (with these pants) and sleeves, but that is pure nitpicking. To me it looks as perfect as it can get. But that's only half of the fit topic.. How does it feel? I've had great experience with...

    Real Mccoys Buco BJ21002 Style King… Patina experiences?

    I don't doubt that a jacket with embossed leather can be absolute top quality. I also don't see why the best quality leather can't be embossed. But I don't understand why one would do that to top quality leather. Maybe in order to use full grain leather while still avoiding all imperfections by...

    Real Mccoys Buco BJ21002 Style King… Patina experiences?

    In my opinion embossing = faking. Similar to how mall boots have fake welts. Big no no in my book, unless we talk about cheaper leather / goods. It's also a bit similar to how I view heavily pigmented leather - why smear pigment on leather if you like leather? It DOES make sense for riding...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I have a pair of Frye engineers as well and they definitely run smaller than the same size in RW. Much closer to true to size.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today I'm wearing the same jacket that I've been wearing almost every single day (when not too hot) since I got it on September 18th - Aero Hooch Hauler in Brown CXLFQHH. Don't have any special photos of that today, but I still wanted to post because it is a special day to me. I joined TFL on...

    Aero leather help

    Might find some useful info: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-leather-choices-options-end-of-2022.109422/ After my recent Hooch Hauler I'm now a firm believer in CXLFQHH, it's just the way I imagine perfect jacket leather thickness/stiffness, would not want anything lighter/softer...

    All hail Vanson! Looks awesome :)

    Can someone post pictures of a dry (but not cracked) leather jacket that needs conditioner vs one that does not need it?

    Exit jacket?
