    Redwing Gt 2011 2016

    Lovely boots, good luck with the sale. I also have a pair of 9011 and a pair of 9016, really amazing boots.

    caring for natural leather

    I might be wrong, but seems like treating dedicated rugged and most likely heavily pigmented practical riding gear and rather delicate unfinished/natural veg tan leather in the same way might not be the best idea.

    Did the Price of Aero Jackets go Down?

    Yeah I'm a bit sad that I didn't order two Aero jackets instead of one during the sale. ~590 sale price vs ~770 now. It was a fantastic chance to get an Aero, even if you do end up sending it back or selling it.

    Anyone ordered from Leder-Jack.de?

    Okay now my browser no longer blocks it due to fishy SSL certificates. Might not be as sketchy as I thought. https://www.trustedshops.de/bewertung/info_XD18A1002726E0C19F9AB1B91C5327F33.html Seems like a mass reseller across multiple countries. Based in France. Up since 2005. Has address...

    Sketchy website, don't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

    Post pictures of your jacket collection

    @ton312 You look much more ripped in the black one than in any other one of those. Not quite sure why.

    Get out the goats!

    @CombatWombat Fair enough, in terms of pure breathability goatskin probably wins over horsehide due to slightly looser grain, which makes it more usable in warm weather. Never heard of "brewer's tails", can you drop a link? Ain't a Swede either haha. Also it makes sense that a button up would...

    Get out the goats!

    @CombatWombat I've got the impression that the leather itself doesn't have much affect on the warmth of the jacket, almost all of the it comes from the lining. On the other hand if the leather is stiff and you're kind of fighting it all the time then I suppose you do work up a sweat much more...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    @Canuck Panda That looks incredible on you even without any laces or side cinches. Do you regret not having them for how it looks now or for the potential future flexibility of the jacket in relation to body changes? The quilting looks fantastic yeah. The underarm footballs seem extremely...

    IC/FS: Freewheelers Sunset Jet Black Deerskin - 40 New

    Not being able to wear a jacket anymore seems like a totally acceptable side effect of a considerable amount of weight loss. Does not seem like anything "tragical" to me :)

    Five Stars Leathers: remake of a 30's "Aviator's" style Jacket

    Oh my, it looks fantastic fully zipped up! Now I'm even more convinced that the fit is stellar. I also think that the sleeves will crease and shorten. From how the cuffs move up along your arm when you straighten your arms I think that the sleeve length is spot on. Would ride up too much if...

    Five Stars Leathers: remake of a 30's "Aviator's" style Jacket

    Looks very nice. Some fit pics zipped up please! I remember you mentioned that you asked to increase the length but keep the pockets where they are - I guess that was the mistake. Would definitely look better with pockets lower. The back gusset seems extremely functional/useful! Looks like 5*...

    Fit check: Aero x Thurston Bros. Sheene in blackened brown Vicenza

    Looks awesome. If I were to go for a custom one I'd spec slightly narrower shoulders and slightly shorter sleeves. And a bit more in the chest and waist if you say it feels tight. But the weight loss should help - good luck with that. And most importantly - congratulations on your first Aero...

    Get out the goats!

    @CombatWombat Even though I do not ride I'm still completely convinced that any jacket benefits from mobility features. All my future jackets will have some kind. At least high armholes as a minimum. Learned from this 5* jacket. Got a Vanson jacket that is too long for me and chokes me when I'm...

    Get out the goats!

    @CombatWombat Yeah I'd add some upper back mobility features if I were to order this jacket again from 5*. Now I am a bit wiser in this regard :) But the members here usually say that if the pattern is good then extra mobility features are unnecessary unless you plan to ride with it. From...

    Aero natural Vicenza

    Damn, that's quite a collection @X83 , mostly Aero and Schott I see? 2 of the Aero jackets still have tags on them? What's the plan with actually wearing all of those? :) Good luck on your natural leather jacket journey. Keep this thread posted every few months, interesting to see the...
