    Simmons Bilt jacket advice

    No she didn't take any pictures. But when I asked she said maybe she will send some pictures but they are pretty busy right now.

    I might try to just wire the money. If not I'll probably PayPal as well, I think my card will block it too.

    Simmons Bilt jacket advice

    So, apparently my jacket is finished =). I wanted to bump this thread to get some advice on what you guys usually do for payment. I live in Canada and have never purchased anything from a vendor in the UK before, do most of you living in North America just do credit card payment? or is there...

    Schott/Legendary USA Black Stallion Update

    This is one of the nicest looking jackets ive seen on the forum

    Look what Stu at Lost Worlds is doing!!

    They are probably not sure what your jacket is made out of. Typical people don't freak out over leather stuff, where I live the animal rights people only freak out over Canada goose jackets because of the cayote fur collar

    That's exactly what I was thinking, I remember a friend had one in his living room forever, it didn't lose any hair in a decade

    I think the hair on hide Grizzlies are really nice looking, it's much less out there than the mouton ones.

    Simmons Bilt jacket advice

    I actually only received the shinki sample yesterday from Debs. But that's what I decided on. I would post a picture of the swatch but I've beaten the hell out of it and sand papered part of it so it might be misleading.

    Simmons Bilt jacket advice

    I actually received some Clayton Horsehide from SB 2 weeks ago in Burgundy. It's definitely thinner and more pliable than the Horween Sample. The burgundy was really bright, and had a lot of pull-up. I kind of dismissed it because I thought it was too bright of a color for a jacket, at least for...

    Simmons Bilt jacket advice

    I'm actually also in the process of finalizing a jacket with Debs. I am just a bit stumped on size as well. I don't have a well fitting leather jacket for reference. I am sending her measurements of a well fitting denim jacket, i wonder if that throws things off considering the difference in...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    It really depends, if the maker let me know in advance what the margin of error is, then my expectations will be adjusted accordingly, or if the maker advises me which specs would yield the best performance in advance. To me, customization is about getting something personal, something unique...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    I'm not sure if I agree with that. Measurements are different from fit. If I was given a exact measurement by a company I expect it to be fulfilled to the measurement regardless how it fits on me. I can understand sleeve measurement to be subjective and with error depending on how you measure, I...

    New Aero Stockist in Canada!

    Wait why are we complaining about items prices being too low. How can ELC and Aero prevent their distributors from lowering their price for sales, especially with the way exchange rates fluctuates.

    New Aero Stockist in Canada!

    I think the 1,190 CAD ELC B3 is a one off on sale item. their standard pricing of Aero and other Eastman are in line with ordering straight from the UK, minus probably customs. The thing is they are obviously based on China, and probably want to branch off to Canada. Ozzy leather seems to be...

    New Aero Stockist in Canada!

    Nice, do update us on how it goes. I've been very hesitant on buying anything since discovering this forum because there is really no Canadian dealers, CAD is so bad these days buying from the States simply makes no sense

    New Aero Stockist in Canada!

    Just as a side, where do Canadians here order their jackets. Do people order straight from ELC or Aero, or go through American vendors

    Bespoke Simmons Bilt

    I've been on other hobby forums where this exact situation happens, a vendor with good products and a very shady and unethical past. Pretty much every time they are brought up, it because a back and forth popcorn fest of the same discussion. I think in the end I realized that people have...
