    New Aero Website looks Great!!!

    I just went throught the new Aero site and it looks pretty decent to me. The photos enlarge nicely when you move over them so one gets nice close views of the leather on the jackets which is particular nice in the "Stock" section where you can review different offerings of leather types on a...

    Best way to treat a heavily creased leather jacket?

    Ok not to get off topic but what kind of bike do you ride? It's probably somewhere on here but just curious. OTH

    Picked up this Aero Teamster from Thurston Bros Stock

    A few days ago I decided on this Thurston Bros Aero Teamster and it really is nice. I owned a Teamster a few years ago but didn't particularly like the lining so sent it on to someone else. This Patriot Teviot Waverley Tweed wool lining seems to me the perfect weight for this jacket. The Horse...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    As a Southerner I post photos on here all the time including my face. While I understand your trepidation, especially as a teacher in todays world and in the South. My attitude is a little different towards folks down here in Tennessee and Georgia. I am sure you know the saying "Well Bless their...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    Ok, here is my budget method of collecting leather jackets. About 20 years ago I applied what I deemed to be the best way to get decent clothing and collecting leather jackets. Number 1. Always by upscale jackets like Aero, Lost worlds Inc., Goodwear, Eastman etc. ( it guarantees a decent...

    LW Moose hide LT/A and J-24

    I am way to OCD to put up with cat scratch.... now if both sides were cat scratched with the same pattern???? Nope, couldn't do it. That would have to be replaced. I would drop $500.00 in a New York minute. The craftsmanship of the Ryder plus the Moose hyde...... I just could not live with...

    LW Moose hide LT/A and J-24

    I think having Stuart repair the jacket is your best bet. He has adjusted a couple of my LW jackets over the years and the craftsmen did a great job. All things considered I don't think the cost is that bad considering the time to remove the panel and replace it will be considerable. I would...

    Schott, Legendary USA and Vanson

    Time will tell as far as the aging on this jacket and compared to the Schotts I have owned over the last few years.... well they are all passed on now to others. The leather was thinner than this Vanson and while neither the Vanson nor the Schott compares to my Aero's or my LW's horsehide or...

    Schott, Legendary USA and Vanson

    Ok so I received this Vanson today. I went riding this afternoon and found it very comfortable and one of the best off the rack jackets for riding I have owned. Now it is not a "techno" jacket and I don't wear those; it is simply a decent classic riding jacket that is perfect for me. The...

    New wool offering from Aero!

    The red wool used by Aero in these jackets looks very close to a lining Stuart was using a few years back. I took this photo off of the LW site to show the similarity. Just thought this was interesting the two companies found something they both liked. Note the J-24 below:

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    You might want to check out Rocketbuster boots. Also if you have the time check out http://dimlights.com/custom-boots/cowboyboot-makers/ it is a list by state of all the hand made boot craftsmen in the US by state. I would review Texas (Rocketbuster, JB Hill), Arizona (Paul Bond Boots) and...

    Dehen Motorcycle Sweater Size Large (42-44) for Thor Motorcycles

    This is a really fun sweater that I don't believe Dehen makes anymore at least it's not on their website. I have had a few years but not really worn it very much so i am letting it go. Personally I think it's gorgeous and made in the "old school way" with the embroidered patches on front and...

    Help I think I ruined my Aero Premiere Half Belt

    I would suggest that rather than using the jacket as a "beater" after dying it black why not just use it as a beater jacket period. First I would first find out if dye would even take on the infected area? Second the cost of dying the jacket could go toward a new purchase from Aero to use for...

    My two new Lost Worlds jackets

    Hey it might be a different steerhide type than the jackets I owned. All were from the early 2,000's and he may have made some alterations in the coating the factory used. I know the horsehide has improved in a number of ways in the last 10 years over some of the earlier LW's I acquired.

    My two new Lost Worlds jackets

    I have owned maybe 3 LW Cowhide jackets and they all "SQUEAKED" like mad. It really irritated me as the russet color was beautiful and grainy patina but gawd the sound. I have to add that one was a Buco Rider with the cigarette pocket on the D-Pocket and was absolutely gorgeous. Damn I hated...

    For Sale Lost Worlds Speed Demon moose hide leather, sz 50, two-tone Navy w/ green

    I think shoulder width is the key here. Unfortunately it was not included in the measurements. The 28" length probably has to do with the tag under the size tag, "L" for long.
