    Zip sleeves - which side?

    I think the best functionality is to have the zipper on the inside of the wrist. This is the least likely part of the arm to take abrasion in a motorcycle accident, so the zipper is very unlikely to fail in this spot. If your zip cuffs are not gusseted, this will be of critical importance in...

    Legendary USA/Schott D pocket horsehide jacket 42

    If it's anything like the HH in the two Legendary Thoroughbred jackets that I've handled, it's considerably lighter weight than LW, but it is very nice stuff. Schott's brown cowhide ages amazingly well, and from what I've seen of the black HH, it does as well. This thing will look 100x better...

    Aero Type III Jean Jacket - Any experience with blanket lining ?

    I have no experience with them, but they look attractive and warm. I would like to try one out sometime if I had the chance.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I really liked it, but didn't wear it enough to justify keeping it, and the positioning of the pockets on the Type F always leaves me second guessing the styling, but it felt great on me when I wore it. To me, it feels like a 70s style. Maybe it is. But it also was starting to wear through at...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I had one of these, since moved on, and I think it was around 6.5 lbs. Seller's listing claims 8lb on this one, though, and it wouldn't surprise me if it is.

    Good Wear Hercules

    If I may... I own one LW, a Buco Rider, and wouldn't mind owning more 1 or 2 other LW designs if I could afford them. I've owned maybe a half dozen Natel/Natal jackets. One cross-zip perfecto-style jacket, and maybe 5 cafe racer types. I love both makers, and I see them very differently...

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    This is such a difficult question to answer, but the answer is more or less, it depends + who knows. Some anecdotals: I've purchased a few new leather jackets that initially I felt were too tight for me to wear, and within just a few hours of wearing them, they had already begun to relax, and...

    Vegetable tanned vs. Chrome tanned (by some guy from the interweb)

    A lot of that information is misleading. The true stuff: Most leather is chrome tanned. Veg tanned leather takes longer, and is therefore more expensive. Because it's a more expensive process, the hides selected for the process tend to be the better quality hides, because those will get the...

    The zipper down the middle of the back for what must be a vent really kills the look for me.

    Do Aero jackets' linings sag after a while, and show through?

    I've seen this on one of my Aero jackets with a wool tartan lining. I don't have it any longer. It was only a minor annoyance.
