    Aero A2

    Oh, and green knits on a dark hide will look absolutely stunning!

    Aero A2

    I’d strongly suggest a light weight leather. An A2 just HAS TO drape properly to look good. In that sense Eastman absolutely kills it with their house-leather (I swapped mine for a RMC, and while it is very nice, it hasn’t even started to break-in properly). Whatever you do, don’t go FQHH. It...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Haha, haven’t seem it yet. As to Indy, SW, Terminator: I tend to agree. To my not inconsiderable surprise there are actually two legit Top Gun movies as of last year…

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    You´re killing it lately! The Buco and this absolute stunner within days. It now needs to get WAY cooler in Europe!°

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    My guess would be black Badalassi. @Hide'n'seek will know, if you would care to send them a DM.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow, this is indeed one of your best!

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    The aging on yours is beyond description! We talked about sizing, and I can only reiterate that one definitely needs to go up one from the normal size to have a comfortable experience. I guess you finally managed to beat yours into submission. It´s most certainly a 10/10 in the looks department!

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Well, you CAN... If you open the second sleeve button, there is enough wriggle room to roll the sleeves, and the leather is soft enough to do it too. I wouldn´t though, as the cuffs are double-leather, thus very stiff, and i would worry about to much stress on the soft sleeve-leather. It´s also...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Thank you! Indeed, that’s the same leather (only ca. 1,3mm in the jacket). Cannot praise look, hand, smell and aging potential enough.

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Week 3 - Making it a daily wearer Evo is very hard to capture with the iPhone camera. There is already a very nice contrast between the shoulder region of the shirt (already darkened noticeable) and the hem-section (still much lighter due to less direct sunlight). Looks super, IMO, very...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Day 12 - Feeling less self-conscious First full day in the IH “Pale Rider” yesterday. Went to a family party. A couple of observations: 1. The shirt can be worn as a real “shirt”, not just a shirtstyle jacket. Sure, it’s not as pliable as a dress/sports shirt or even a thick denim, but it’s...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Day 8 - More sunburn than suntan Temperature drop by ten degrees, so I can actually "wear" the Pale Rider to fetch breakfast in the morning. Tanning goes according to plan. Current status is the dreaded "English Sunburn" color. Break-in is happening, albeit slowly, due to neglectable...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Day 1 - The very pale rider. So, I finally did it. I was debating for a long time, doubtful if I´d ever become a "leather-shirt-guy", but then it was pretty much an impulse decision, followed by a very good consultation with Burg&Schild Hamburg who promised to hold back enough sizes to dial-in...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    I am taking up a suggestion and open this thread to show the natural evolution of the Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ leather shirt. While I will show the evo of my shirt in chronological order, I would love other owners to contribute as well (shouting out to @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead and @Merv). I will...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Well, NOW I am ok with that. Yourself and @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead have been the prime enablers in finally pulling the trigger. Every time either of you posted a photo, I went to check on my bank account… :D

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That´s a good idea. I’ll see to that in the next days. Evo is very hard to capture with the iPhone camera. There is already a very nice contrast between the shoulder region of the shirt (already darkened noticeable) and the hem-section (still much lighter due to less direct sunlight). Looks...

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    Well, I do like the look of all three on you. I totally get that you feel the CR is a better fit than the BR. I myself exchanged a 44 BR for a 42 CR and was much happier with the fit, although everybody told me the BR looked better. I think the Schott is pretty unique, and visually there´s...

    Do tell me when it gets too much. I really love that thing! “Homeoffice“ in style…

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I´ve been quite the "massager" myself. I remember how I mistreated my first Aero into submission for weeks. I still can see the attraction, especially on parts that are not exposed to a lot of natural stress (collar being the most promiment). At the moment I am going the "wellness" route...

    Cooler still. Don’t mind at all…
