    Aerial Star Vintage Leather Jackets - Official Affiliate Thread

    In Gary's book, there are 39 different jacket/contracts illustrated. Of these, 13 have been identified, either by DNA testing, or by visual examination, as being made of Cowhide. He goes on to say: It should be remembered that leather has to be ordered in thousands of square feet (of the...

    Steer hide Aero A-2 42 Contract

    It would be fascinating to find out where the "it has to be horse" story came from in the first place. One of the A2 "experts"? When I bought my first Eastman, back in the 80's, I didn't know what the hide was, and didn't really care. As long as the hide looks good, why worry? Craig's...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    As I said right at the start - this is a Troll thread - started by you, and now you say it's "extremely ridiculous". You don't believe jeans are worth paying money for. Fair enough, so why ask the question? And we are the stupid ones for bothering to answer. I would suggest that this...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Yup - I buy Freddies. No silly flim-flam. Good selfedge jeans for £70. What's not to like?:D;) Yes, it f***ing does! Unfortunately, I can't arrange for a small biplane tugging a banner across the sky, but believe me - after a few months regular washing, 23oz jeans are JUST like regular...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Yes, but the thicker, looser, thread becomes very soft after a few washes - after that, the difference between it and "regular" denim become negligible. 23oz denim is like the fancy tops on Grolsch bottles - it is MARKETING - pure & simple...:D;)

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    OK, Scott, don't believe it (and I think you just entered the fray)...:D Think about it. The likes of Levi/Wrangler/Lee/et al fought like cat & dog for supremacy of the denim workwear market for 100 years, and NEVER ever considered making 23oz denim. They could have. But they didn't. Then, a...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Probably difficult for you to get your head round, my friend, but I actually have lots of friends with whom I discuss denim with, face to face. In fact, I am sitting right next to a guy, in the pub, who is wearing Iron Hearts. He agrees that after a few months, the extra "body" has simply...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Schitz, that idea is just a about on a level with "It's OK for adults to wear Crocs". Washing WILL soften denim fibres, rendering 23oz jeans just the same as 14oz after half a dozen washes.

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    On some of the guitar sites I inhabit, a question like "Can I buy a Gibson for 99 dollars" would now be attracting accusations of Trolling. Ah well. Keep the "interested" questions coming.

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Good for you, OneEye. A few billion others do exactly the same as you. I guess you could say the same about any item of clothing. That's why Primark exists. Same with Leather Jackets. Why pay £600 when a nice Mall Special can be had for £99?? In fact, why have a site like this at...

    Cuffed Jeans

    Hey man - if you like them, that's cool. Each to his own. I don't wear that look myself, and I was explaining why. But if you like it, go for it, my friend:D;)

    Lee 101Z 23 oz selvedge jeans

    Here we are, mate. Just for you..... First, a pair of 1930 101Bs. My apologies re the muck and oil on these. I do some volunteer work on a very large and very old machine, and these are the jeans I wear for that. Here's a pair of 1934 101Bs. Remarkably, these have no visible selfedge...
