What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
I quite like it. Great color, good fit. If I wanted to nitpick, I don’t think the chest pocket adds anything to the design, but it wouldn’t bother me much either.- Tom71

Fit check: fcl Mariana jacket
Strong opinions, as usual. To add some balance: an A-shaped jacket is not „obviously“ less attractive (or even.„awful“) than a V-shaped jacket. Physical aspects of the wearer aside, it serves a differen aesthetical purpose (the same way an A-line womans dress is not better or worse than an...- Tom71

Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?
Well spoken, Karsten!- Tom71

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Sorry! Should have scrolled before blurting. Will be interesting to see this age. The midnight blue CXL fades to a rather dull grey-brown with only faint traces of blue (at least my batch), while Greg’s blue shinki doesn’t seem to change at all despite many a shower it’s been taken. Never seen...- Tom71

11/10. Love everything about that jacket. Is that the navy Vicenza? The blue just pops with that collar!- Tom71

Fit check: fcl Mariana jacket
Looks perfect. A bit of guesswork re length due to the skirt you’re wearing. FCL doesn’t get too much love around here, but to my eyes this is a mighty nice jacket! See if the restrictions in the shoulders bother you. I would have thought that range of motion should be ok with the gussets, but...- Tom71

IMPORT DUTY
Sorry, my bad. Didn’t know about that. I guess I just need to order a new jacket. Last one was under the old website which - if memory serves - didn’t differentiate between UK and abroad. Was no issue pre Brexit, of course…- Tom71

Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto
Awesome! You got the proper Rock‘n‘Roll vibe going on, so that’s gonna be another great jacket for you. (Always preferred Motörhead over The Ramones, so I considered myself a Lewis Leather guy. The ‚Lightning‘ is a great jacket, and as close to ‚The Perfect X-Zip‘ as can be. Can’t deny that for...- Tom71

Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto
That’s a tough one. I’d say very comparable to LLs standard horse pre 2020. The later years are pretty plasticky and have nothing to do with the leather on my 613SH. I have an older „Lightning“ in a very nice horsehide, that‘s pretty substantrial. As far as „temper“ goes, I’d say it comes close...- Tom71

IMPORT DUTY
Yes, of course. That’s VAT plus Duty. Payable for any sale or service entering the EU (above threshold). Nothing to do with Aero (they include UK tax, which they could - theoretically- waive for non-UK order; would involve some work for them, though). Larger sellers offer different prices for...- Tom71

Aero leather natural chromexcel
Frankly, I don’t think that you will find that „extra-specific“ hide you’re looking for. Even if Aero were successful in selecting a batch that you like, it’s bound to change so much in short time, that it will never maintain the original appearance. Leather, as a natural substance is bound to...- Tom71

Replacement zipper for RMC Buco J-100
Somebody had posted a link to the new(ish) range of vintage inspired zippers by YKK. Was ca. half a year ago, but I can’t find the thread right now. I am a big fan of YKK myself. They have a size 8 zipper with a „Paperclip“ puller that doesn’t look to shabby and is super functional too. I had...- Tom71

The Deck Jacket thread.
Plus an inside pocket. Having both, I would agree: the IH is the ‚better‘ jacket. Full disclosure: I still prefer the RMC. It’s just that tiny bit more cool.- Tom71

Langlitz Cascade Unfit compared with TWC at last and Real Mccoys Buco J-31
Respectfully, that I cannot understand. Functionality is not about excess material. It’s about range of motion for the desired purpose. Vanson does it, Schott to some extent. Heck, even the Iron Heart Cafe Racer can be worn skintight and maintains excellent forward motion for the arms. And, of...- Tom71

Styling your B3 or RAF. Do you wear mostly open, closed, baggy or slim?
Well, "style preference" is so subjective, that nobody can tell you if your preferences are "correct". That said, I prefer my B3 fitted as well, as there is already a lot of material going on. So no "fashionably baggy" look for me. It needs to fit though. To compromise function for looks is...- Tom71

HARLEY x Real McCoy x Jason Momoa Horse hide D pocket 1940s
Yupp, same for me. I tried a few vintage jackets and always moved them on fast. Never could shake the feeling of wearing an old (as in "no longer pleasant") piece.- Tom71
