    Himel website updated

    $2500 is affordable to most people and isn't insane for a jacket that only gets better with age and that you'll potentially wear for the next 20 years and beyond. Some of you are acting as if it's a pie in the sky outrageously unobtainable amount of money LOL. When you think about the...

    Looks like an 80's Wilson

    New Himel transcontinental railroad - what do you think, keep or return?

    It could explain strange measurements, but doesn't explain or excuse the odd collar/neck hole area. That part is just bad design and execution. I'm guessing most bespoke makers draw the line with certain ill-advised requests if they think it will make for a bad jacket.

    New Himel transcontinental railroad - what do you think, keep or return?

    The back buttons are not weird, there are two buttons on the back, and he has it buttoned on the 2nd to make it slimmer. I bought one of these and returned it. I bought the smallest size, M, and it was still too big. The size info on the Orvis site was way off. Sleeves were way too long, but I...

    We are out of touch with mainstream jacket consumers . . . .

    Seems like the only people wearing cross zip MC style jackets anymore besides real bikers, are women. Women wearing really awful and cheap looking versions of this style in every possible variation is a fad that I'm surprised hasn't burned out yet

    What's The Story on Wilsons Leather?

    I've owned two Wilsons. One in the early 80's when I was in high school, and another in the mid 90's LOL. Wore them both for several years each. The 90's one actually wasn't that bad Speaking of Wilsons, I was thinking while watching the Walking Dead last night that Negan's jacket looked like...

    CXL Steer vs Horse Flexibility Aero

    Never had a steer, does it grain and wrinkle better than CXL FQHH?

    Aero King of the Road

    I like the back's bottom yoke and belt-through feature better than that of the J-106

    Why is horsehide better than steerhide?

    If anything, I've noticed the opposite, that HH jackets retain their shape better because of the natural stiffness

    Why is horsehide better than steerhide?

    Don't some people prefer Steer over Horse for the way it grains? btw are steer and cow really both labeled as Steer?

    Can I have your opinion on an Aero Board Racer I just got from the Blue Label page?

    I like the dark side the best

    Bad experience with Aero Leathers.

    I prefer ultra dark brown. I have 3 brown jackets and my request when I ordered each of them was to use the darkest brown they had on hand

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    This sort of thing doesn't bother me as long as the different leathers are used in the same places, i.e.; the same combo is the same on the other sleeve, other side panel, etc.

    Inside pockets: yes or no?

    If you have a vertical interior pocket on the same side as an outer chest pocket, the outer pocket may block the inner pocket from showing through. Wouldn't know though, I ordered all my Aeros without interior pockets. I'd rather use my jeans pockets and ruin a pair of jeans, than an expensive...

    Remember the leather jacket fad of the 70's?

    I also bought a Wilson's on layaway once LOL. This would have been in 81 or 82. I was a Jr in high school. It was a short waisted style in black with zipped sleeves that were long, running up past the elbow. All zippers were black plastic

    Remember the leather jacket fad of the 70's?

    Yep there was Wilsons but there were also a lot of little mom n pop leather stores around also. You'd walk in and the owner would be decked out in head to toe leather lol. I went to lots of shops like that when I was in my teens looking for a jacket. All stocked to the gills with racks of...

    Remember the leather jacket fad of the 70's?

    I grew up in the 70's/80's in the US and was just remembering how there were leather jacket stores everywhere in the late 70's, and everyone was wearing leather jackets...the short waisted fashion jacket style w/tight highwaisted wide leg jeans LOL. Anyone else remember this era?
