    road less traveled for jacket nuts? the N-2B flight jacket...am i crazy 4 loving it?

    If buying a nylon jacket were as "easy" as leather, I'd have done the Red BR MA-1. I just don't trust that a jacket marketed as a 44 will fit my 47/48 chest... *edited for clarification...not that I didn't trust @HPA Rep's thoughts on this. Just too much to risk as it were - esp since Boss said...

    Most versatile Aero jacket? What do you think?

    In other words, the love you take is equal to the love you make. Substitute thrashing for love and yes, HH and Steer are worth the effort in the end...

    Oh dude, you're the worst of the worst - the Kardashian of TFL :p And one of my heroes.

    Most versatile Aero jacket? What do you think?

    Yup, I stand by mine too, but realistically, the wait is not what most people will be able to tolerate. Hell, if I were to get a jacket today, it would likely be Thedi or Aero due to wait times...

    Got My Second Himel Jacket Today

    Totally agree. I would not use it for riding, unless I had nothing else and of course it's better than no leather.

    Most versatile Aero jacket? What do you think?

    In order for that to happen, I'd have to be given orders by my boss (not that one) to go to a meeting where I have to wear that. Otherwise, it's 100% casual here sans the occasional black tie event. Thank gawd. :) I have the "meeting shelf" in the closet with dry-cleaned and wrapped shirts...

    I'm actually shocked that you don't own one yet Nick!

    Most versatile Aero jacket? What do you think?

    I'll selfishly vote for the Good Wear Ventura. It's the reason I got it. I've literally worn it to meetings at Apple and Universal as well as my son's concerts with a T shirt. I even like to wear it with a motorcycle sweater under when it's cooler and I'm thinner. Simple, comfortable and...

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    Well - most of them paid with their lives, so I'm not sure I agree on that... As to the jacket, I'm not changing my mind on it. It's mismatched color panels are awful, which is likely why it was sold to start with.

    And that's why the two years wait is worth it! Awesome jacket and fit! Congrats

    road less traveled for jacket nuts? the N-2B flight jacket...am i crazy 4 loving it?

    MA-1 and similarly styled jackets are still highly popular with the younger folks out here in loonyville. And now I see why - I love that Cockpit cloth MA-1 I got last year as well as the CPW45 Spiewak. Had I been confident that the red BR MA-1 would be big enough (conflicting stories on...

    Sunlight and fqhh

    Bought my son a NOS Avirex HH A-2 a couple years back. It had been in a store window for what looked like a year. The sun did fade parts of it, but not enough to not make the price worthwhile. But, browns surely fade... My old Hein Gerrick Moto black steer got barely faded on the shoulders...

    Yeah, don't think MINN has ever had a year like Cleveland. Or, many years...sorry man. That's rough. And it's odd given how good Ohio college ball is.

    First Aero!!! Battered Tan Teamster

    To that point, I had an A-2 that was amazing, but too small arms. I wet them in hot water, and shoved big, glass soda bottles in them - I had to go and buy them but it worked. Then I let them dry and voila!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    As a Vikings fan since 1970, I can tell you @ton312 that I rarely know what it's like to NOT come out on the ***t end of the stick. If I said I had a tear in my eyes I'd not be lying!

    I love New Orleans too - as in - seeing them pack their bags out of Minnesota!

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    No, it IS two-tone! And unless ordered like that, I'd be pissed.
