    Looking at a couple possibilities...need some feedback (jacket).

    So I'm really liking this one dudes and dudettes. What say the enablers? Likely a different lining, but the basic piece... https://www.thurston-bros.com/collections/featured-stock/products/aero-board-racer-size-42-natural-vicenza-horsehide

    Something new at Good Wear?

    You know what Richard, at some point in life we have "earned" the right to do WTF we want to, and that falls into this category. I may never ride again either - based on the average moron in a car to not stop texting - but if I want to wear a biker jacket, I sure as hell will! And you should...

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    That cool Cockpit MA-1 I got this spring is on the shorter side, but it's what I think the intention was in it's design. I'm rather paranoid about jackets being short, but some are just meant to be.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yeah, 94º here today and I'm thinking it was a brief season thus far. But I know that it's close, so I don't feel so much anger now.

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    Yep, the key here is to keep her on equal footing so the only thing she has is "I don't like that one", not "you have too many". Now, to be fair, I've been good at one in, one out and all, but I know where the hide is tanned and I just keep the scales in balance.

    @Carrie @ Thurston Bros. - beautiful - thank you. Can the torso be tapered? I need more of a "V".

    Hi @Carrie @ Thurston Bros. - has anyone made one of those from the Natural Vinny?

    Something new at Good Wear?

    @jonesy86 , you just bought an expensive jacket and can't afford another. Interest rates on credit cards are ridiculous. It's a biker jacket and you don't ride. You don't look good in black. It has too many zippers. Shinki isn't such great leather as everyone says. The teacore horsehide slowly...

    Why are people often saying, that denim-jackets have to be worn open??

    Well, in your case you can be a friend of a friend if a leather belt. Done.

    Any good shots of the Max? I love A-1s = including your new one. I'm thinking though about getting something without knits. I'll look around for the Max and have a look...I want something on the sporty end, not a "coat".

    Looking at a couple possibilities...need some feedback (jacket).

    I did the same at a Self Edge, well, my son did. He looks good in most everything, and honestly, I realized that sometimes it's "me" and sometimes it's the jacket. Some styles just don't work on some guys...and that's why I'm battling in my mind now over what jacket to get in "natural"...

    Why are people often saying, that denim-jackets have to be worn open??

    I got a couple of the cord/sherpa Levis jackets last year on sale on the Levis site. While not a regular look, I will on occasion wear denim/denim/denim and don't care what anyone thinks. It helps to have different shades of blue, but the cord Levis jackets break up the denim tux nicely.

    What do you think about rolling up the sleeves once in leather jackets?

    What do you think about rolling up the sleeves once in leather jackets?

    Funny as I roll the sleeves on every shirt I own, but a jacket? Can't do it. A baseball jacket is a different beast, and you have to be WAY cooler than me to do it. I will admit to wetting and pulling up sleeves on new leather to get them started, but that's only in the house :)

    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    Amish and the Mennonites are not all living in darkness. I know because I grew up in that area and go back every year to visit Mom. Like all religious or other communities, there's outliers and those that have stepped into the modern world. Guns are not forbidden as you will see hunters and...

    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    Quick-release buckles have been well, pretty awesome a couple of times ;) There's a few instances where they come in handy, and look unique too.
