    New old Buco J22 pics

    Indeed. In general avoid animal/vegetal fats as they are less stable to oxidation(going rancid). Once oxidized they'll damage the leather fibers. Best is to use mineral fats (vaseline,...) which are considerably more chemically stable. Pecard is such mineral fat. I use Pecard leather...

    Leather vests

    to me leather vest it evokes the scene: "I want your boots, yo' clothes, yo' motorcycle" - "You forgot to say please..." as for denim jacket: "Can't take the man's wheel son...now get off before I put you down!"

    Bronson Mfg

    You saved some money :) Ordering from China is a hit and miss. Moreover a miss in my experience. They say yes yes yes until they get your money. One thing they advertise completely other you get. I am getting tired of these shop experiences - clothes, car mirror caps/floor mats... They are...

    Bronson MA-1 review

    Hi, Thanks for your review and courage to purchase that. I've been considering some Bronson items. Sounds good. The jacket looks indeed more upmarket than generic MA-1s. I own a few original B-15 (A,B,C), MA-1 from early 50s, 64(Alpha)... N2-A/B and I can tell that on the originals the shoulders...

    Aero "Brando" motorcycle jacket sz 44

    Price is relative to the market. Yes indeed after you see jackets in much worse state here asking for 300 at least... What's your take on this, what would you do? Should I have gone lower maybe? 200 for a GC(clean, not faded/trashed, strong leather) Aero HH? BTW, are you actually interested in...

    Cal-Leather

    Judging by the price of their jackets, they don't need to sell that many. Perhaps they downsized the business, and they get plenty of business locally. It's possible they don't rely much on online.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Hi everybody @Boyo Thanks a lot for your feedback. Yes I'm willing to sell them. I'm trying to trim my stuff. Things that don't fit / not using them go first. They are some of the first pea coats I bought few years ago from eBay USA without knowing their sizing. Only then I figured 40 suits me...

    Aero Leather Grizzly.

    I think that structurally it hold on better being made of the same material. Tensions/forces would be more evenly distributed. Plus it would look more consistent instead of creasing/folding easily in sheepskin areas. It's more a matter of personal preference I guess. If I spend almost 1k on a...

    Preferred t-shirt model/brand under jacket

    Because most consumers are brand conscious, industry is very precise nowadays. Online offers a huge amount of data over consumer preferences. Very few have the time/will to educate themselves. I also don't believe in brands since a long time. From small things to big ones like cars. If smth...

    Aero Leather Grizzly.

    Congratulations, nice jacket! I had the same jacket on my mind but I let it go. Because of a small detail I don't like about Grizzlys off the rack: they don't have any leather under the mouton panels. Not the perfect thing for me. You have the thick leather and then the soft mouton panels only...

    Preferred t-shirt model/brand under jacket

    I'm in my 30s and keep my shirt tucked in. Due to torso taper, the untucked shirt floats around my waist. I find this bit messy and unflattering. Shirts are easier to slim down and be kept untucked.
