    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    All of my Wesco boots have the standard toe configuration, which is pretty roomy. The only downside to this is that the only motorcycles I have that allow the boot-toe under the gearshift lever, are the big Harleys. None of my BMWs, or even the Harley XR1200X (the coolest bike on the planet)...

    What do you wear in the winter??

    Leather is a poor insulator, regardless of thickness. It's what is under the leather that can keep one warm. By the way, that Speed Demon looks to be one terrific jacket.

    The choice of Two Cafe Racers

    I think both jackets look good. The "oversize" one only appears that way when contrasted with the slimmer fit of the BR, otherwise it will always look like a great fit to anyone you encounter. And with the larger one...you will always have room to eat a couple more sammiches and still be able to...

    Something old (ish) - 10 months in AL Simmons Bilt

    If you stick around here long, I give that statement about a 2% chance of being factual. :)

    What do you wear in the winter??

    When it gets really cold and I'm going to be outside for some time I always grab a Blauer parka. I also have a nice Filson Double Mac that is pretty groovy. If I will just be standing around I might grab a B-3.

    Christmas Jacket No 2 - Alexanders Leathers "Donkey Jacket"

    That is an interesting jacket. Something a bit different from what I usually see.

    A Christmas Miracle - 52 degrees and sunny, so a rare late December ride

    I hope you get a good ride. We are at 30°F and snowing today. If you encounter a fogging problem after getting the balaclava, consider getting a Pinlock face shield for your helmet: they are magic.

    Christmas Jacket No. 1 - Vanson "Rush" 2012 Tour Jacket

    Well, it certainly is not the "Plumbline Fit," but is does look good. If you can still breath at all when it is zipped, even shallow gulps, you're okay, as it will break in. If you pass out after zipping it up, it is 1/2 size to small. This would be for the "Insurrection Fit," of which every...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I have a pair of Nomads in a beautiful chromexcel , size 11D. The shaft measurement at the top is 17 3/8 inches. This was taken at the smallest opening of the adjustable shaft. My 11Ds fit a bit larger than the same boot from Wesco, so I use inserts in them.

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    My bias is for Oklahoma State.

    Schott Easy Rider

    I'm 5'11" and about the same chest size. My jacket is a 42 and has gobs and heaps (technical terms) of room for layering. A size 40 would have fit just fine, I think. But it is nice to have one jacket that will fit over just about any layering, and really the fit of the 42 doesn't look bad...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    They have held up very well. They do look worn, but in that "old friend" sort of way. And, they be comfy, on the bike and off. (Please don't show that last sentence to my English-teacher wife.)

    Aero Chromexcel Steerhide

    I have a "dress holster" made from shell cordovan, and it is absolutely gorgeous; one of my favorites.

    Merry Christmas to all.

    And, may none of us get trapped in an airport or along a highway.

    Schott goes after the Restoration Hardware crowd

    Gail will be missed; she was always quite helpful. She must be about 110 years old and is due a little R&R.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    They also make good riding boots, but the rough-out leather on mine got marked up a bit, pretty early on, by the gear shift knob.
