I should have added my Grizzly to the lineup. This is in russet Badalassi.
I really do like the way the black and cordovan go together in the above jackets. That black and white Lost Worlds, though! That is fire!!
Howdy, folks. With Aero's new website, including the withdrawal of VAT charges for non-EU countries and the current 10% discount, coinciding with historically prosperous conversion rates for the US dollar, I'm eyeing a new Aero. Until recently, I shied away from two-tone jackets, but this past...
I’ve been looking at some of their pant offerings, but I’m weary of the relatively short inseam. For instance, the inseam is 30.3 inches for size-34 pants. I presume these are worn with the seat low, so perhaps 30 inches fits like 32 inches in modern pants? Can anyone confirm?
Your jacket looks great, @MrProper!
Here are some photos of my Simmons Bilt cafe racer made in apparently the same unfinished Italian horsehide, which I picked up in the spring of 2020. This is my warm-weather motorcycle jacket, so it's seen its fair share of rain, sun, and road grime. I was...
There’s a beautiful Laskinlamb repro in size 40 on Mercari for a good price: https://buyee.jp/mercari/item/m29193377926
I don’t know what this would come out to after import taxes, but I’d be all over it if it was a size larger.
Bumping this. The eBay auction ended yesterday afternoon, and the buyer backed out this morning. $650 (PayPal FF) and it's yours, shipping included in the continental US.
Does Greg use a label to designate pony hide vs horsehide? Just curious, as I bought one of his jackets secondhand, and it is labeled as Shinki horsehide. I need to get around to posting pics, as it's quite a specimen. Moreover, the brown hide (it's two-toned) looks pretty distinct, certainly...
@BikerMan, I got in line just before you did, but I’m just down the road from you in Hillsborough, NC. If, for whatever reason, the jacket doesn’t work out for me, you’ve got first dibs.
Thanks, Ivan, for the sale!
FWIW, the pit-to-pit on the Buco jacket is the exact same as that on my custom Johnson Leathers size-42 cross-zip: 23 inches. The Johnson is boxy on me. It's thick chromexcel, so I can really feel the extra room on me, and my chest size is 41.5 inches. I can wear a thick hoodie underneath it for...
The measurements are as follows, and here is where things get interesting.
Chest (pit to pit): 23.25 inches
Sleeve length (shoulder seam straight down to cuff): 23 inches
Shoulder width (seam to seam straight across): 19 inches
Back length (collar seam to hem): 25 inches
Bottom opening width...
Hello, everyone. I recently purchased this 2nd label Buco over on Yahoo Auctions. The ad specified that the sleeves were fairly short (23 inches shoulder seam straight down to the cuff), but I doubted the veracity of that and went ahead and bid. Unfortunately, I was wrong, and the sleeves are...
The tag says 44. Typically, I wear a 40 or 42 in Aero and a 44 in Japanese brands. This one does fit a bit looser about the chest and waist that I'd typically go for. It would have been worth it to me if not for those sleeves. Serves me right though. The Yahoo Auction ad did indicate that the...
Oh, I'm selling this one. I wanted to dip a toe in the vintage market. The size and price were right for me. The sleeve length, however, is not. That said, I may take a bath on this one.
I don't think the lining has been replaced. It's consistent with other 2nd label J24s I've seen. I'm more...
