    Aero 25% off sale starts tomorrow

    I was hoping they wouldn't have anything that I couldn't pass up, and thankfully my wallet survived today intact.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/HELLERS-CAFE-Horsehide-Deerskin-Leather-Jacket-Men-1930s-Vintage-From-Japan-/144404695219 Not sure the relationship between Heller's Cafe and Joe McCoy, but this looks like a JMC jacket that I really like and posted about some time ago in its own thread. This one is a...

    He fixed the missing side laces. That's got to be worth at least $200.

    Help me understand the luxury (quality?) that is "Philipp Plein"

    Stuff like that might get mentioned here from time to time, but it's generally in the context of something more directly related to the primary topic of vintage/classic style.

    Help me understand the luxury (quality?) that is "Philipp Plein"

    You might be better off asking a fashion forum this question. The Fedora Lounge is more of a forum dedicated to vintage style. Which, this really isn't. So this is very off topic for our community here. It's mostly annoying to see how abused the term "bomber jacket" has gotten through the...

    FS: Five leather jackets (Lost Worlds, Levi's, Harley-Davidson) size Large

    Just listed: Vanson Raid Leather Jacket 40 - $600 Some of the nicest old school Comp Weight you'll ever find, very supple and barely broken in. A style Vanson no longer offers, it was replaced by the Arrow, aka the Gambler when sold through Thurston Bros., which has the same front but a...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    No, not necessarily true, but in the case of Five Star, they are considerably cheaper than comparable jackets made where labor is more expensive. You can see that reflected on the prices advertised on Five Star's website. Some makers do exploit sweatshop labor in order to maximize profit. Not...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    @Zangy003 has every reason to be a little circumspect about people's comments on his tastes and opinions, just based on how he's been treated by some on here. I think he responded very well, and didn't take the bait (whether it was intended as such or not), nor did he escalate, which is...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Trying on will really be the test. If you're happy with it and your goals were met, that's what matters, not anyone else's opinion. So enjoy your new jacket, and wear it in good health.

    Help I think I ruined my Aero Premiere Half Belt

    I've seen re-dyes trying to hide a stain, but all it does is show the stain through the dye. You'd need a non-aniline dye that is more like a paint, to topcoat the entire jacket, and that will be next to impossible to penetrate into the seams. I'd first try to get as much of the oil out, with...

    Logan's Close X2 Vanson fit check

    That's interesting... I've seen a few of these jackets on ebay and never noticed the missing stripe before. I haven't seen the movie this jacket was featured in, so I have no idea what the significance of the missing stripe was.

    Soul Revolver Cafe Racer fit pics

    I can't see a need for a two way zipper on a jacket as short as that. It's probably a "style" thing to differentiate it from "ordinary" jackets with their "boring" single-zip. I was going to say it looks like it fits well but if it's that tight on you closed, you might want to go up a size...

    Schott 641 Fit Questions

    I found in this style that it looked better on me when I went down a size. I'm not sure if they make Schotts in the US market in 34, but you look like you're probably pretty young -- if so, you'll probably gain 20 lbs in the next ten years and fil it out nice, or even need to move up in size...
