    Fair Usage Bumping Policy

    I think bumping is fine, but I’ve always used no more than once a week as a rule of thumb..

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Yes, leather toe taps -- slightly odd in that with leather soles people often have metal toe taps installed to prevent wear. I assume it was more of an aesthetic choice than a functional one. But it'll be interesting to see how long they last, and how they hold up compared to the rubber sole.

    New Thedi MTC-1279720 "Memphis" Arrived This Weekend

    I’ve tried to avoid looking at Thedi jackets too much, because I know I’ll just get sucked in! They’re just so nice. Btw, what is the purpose of the oddly shaped inner pocket in Thedis? Looks almost like a gun pocket, but I know it’s too small for that.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Do you mean the original, the 405 I believe..? Yes, and I always liked that before Harrison Ford wore them for the movie they had for decades been marketed by Alden as "the high work shoe." That seems about right to me.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Good point. When I was growing up in the 1970s, my mom worked on the line at the Westinghouse factory and the hardest part of job was standing on her feet all day. These would’ve been perfect for that sort of factory work. (although they would’ve cost her probably two months salary!)

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    A prompt update: I've been wearing these for the past three days, and I have to say that they are incredibly comfortable. The crepe soles really make a big difference. They will no doubt wear down pretty quickly, but to my mind the comfort factor makes it worthwhile. The boots are not cheap...

    Ooh very nice -- I did not know about this place but will try to get there if possible. Perhaps I will come home with a Vincent..:D

    Thanks, your post in the other thread is very helpful. Just curious, is the neighborhood with the disappointing 2nd hand stores Shoreditch..?

    Thanks, yes I have Lewis Leathers on my list. I probably won't end up one of of their jackets, but gotta respect the history and it would be cool to actually visit the store. And I appreciate the other recommendations.

    The Bates Corner

    Such a great jacket, and a nice new thread to have. I don’t own a Bates but am always on the lookout for one. Mostly smaller sizes pop up unfortunately. What I’d like to find is a straight zip, collared Moto jacket.

    Viberg 310 Brown Oil Tanned

    These are really cool boots at a good price! Someone should snatch them up..

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Decided to pull the trigger on a pair of Alden "Roy" boots. The Roy boot was first offered by the Wisconsin store Context Clothing, as a special make up from Alden (makers of the famous Indy Boots). Context is out of business, but looks like Alden Madison in NY offers the same make up on...

    Suggestions for a visit to London? (Leather jackets, boots, motorcycle related stuff.)

    I'll be in London for a couple of days at the end of May, and would love to browse in some nice thrift stores or even non-thrift stores. Most especially vintage/classic jackets, maybe boots, and any place related to vintage/custom motorcyles. I was there a few years ago for just a day and...

    Aero Leather Chips 38

    Does the Vicenza Chips feel logo or “drape” more than the FQHH Chips? I hear ya. Been there! Also, what is the lining on the current Chips? Thanks!

    Aero Leather Chips 38

    Looks like this other Aero Chips from a few years ago was yours as well?: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-leather-chips-38-black-cxl-fqhh.101360/ Sizing looks almost identical -- can you speak to differences in fit, etc, between the two jackets?

    Cal or Al's straight zip CHP-style jacket (a slim 42)

    Bump, with drastic price reduction! I need to fund some new boots, so dropping this to $250.
