    Tarnished Brass Zippers and a Question about Cal-Leather

    Re. the smell tho worked for me. I posted this on another forum. No idea if it will wok for fag smell though. http://suzannecarillo.com/remove-bad-smells-from-leather-or-suede/ "I have just received a leather jacket that the previous owner had never worn and put into storage, the problem is it...

    Looking for my first Quality Motorcycle leather jacket Aero,Vanson,Schott

    Agree with Carlos840 comment, aero if you prefer a vintage look. I am bit prejudiced as I have always collected vintage 1950s clothing. Schott is just not good value new for the price.

    Looking for my first Quality Motorcycle leather jacket Aero,Vanson,Schott

    I have had m/c jackets by both brands. I have never had a vanson but the ones I have seen looked better quality than schott. Others may disagree but I consider Schott to be a mid tier maker and aero a top tier. Schott is a way bigger outfit and the jackets are to a degree mass produced. Aero is...

    What's your favorite leather (Poll)

    My favourite leather at the moment is missing from the list. Aero battered steer hide, soft and the distressed leather look is subtle. Soft and drapes well, similar in weight and softness to Horween Vermont horse hide. As I have gotten older [55] I prefer softer, more lighter weight, comfortable...

    My deepest apologies...

    And as Ken does not post here his response from the VLJ Ken at Aero Leather "Forgotten already"

    My deepest apologies...

    A public apology is a good gesture, no need for anybody to question the reasoning behind it let the matter rest. When people are under stress for whatever reason their perceptions change and poor judgements calls are easily made which I know from my own personal experience.

    Chinese thedi knockoff

    I am nearly as happy with this jacket as I am with my new aero, the quality is obviously not as good but if this had schott on the label and was way more expensive most would have not have a problem with buying one.

    Chinese thedi knockoff

    The label in this one that is black and white is the same as the one in yours and also says Italian leather.

    Chinese thedi knockoff

    The cidu brand would work for you, I was one of the first to get the bronson A-1 and they are the similar with higher armpits and tighter arms, a tighter asian fit this one is more western a cut but 38 is still XL in their sizing

    Chinese thedi knockoff

    Build quality about the same but different leather and a less trim fit, you can see I have the waist adjusters fully done up. I had to make an extra hole to get it as tight as possible so a bit less flattering on. You can see in the photo off me wearing from behind it is less form fitting as it...

    Aero Leather is only a Business...

    I do sympathise but as I said before you agreed to those terms, the unexpected happened thats shitty but there really is nothing more to be said, wherein have aero done wrong by you by the terms you agreed to.

    Aero Leather is only a Business...

    I feel sorry for you but if you where aware and agreed to the terms and conditions they did nothing wrong. Some people have blind loyalty to jacket makers, I am not in that category. I have had disagreements with Ken on the VLJ forum [but in a civil manner] so I am no shill for aero . Poor...

    My cross-button jacket from Cidu Genuine Leather Brand (China), or "The Handymike Re-Dye job"

    So the Japanese copy American vintage with sometimes minor differences and because it is expensive that is okay, if the Chinese do it cheaper then why does it become an issue. Thedi made the escape from new york jacket with buttons instead of a zip so no one else can do a jacket he copied off...
