    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Recommendations for Riding Jeans

    Well, the USPO finally delivered my Bravestar 21oz jeans the other day. After I opened them up, I asked myself, what have you done? I told myself, no more drinking and buying stuff online. LOL. These things were crazy!! Crazy stiff!!! I thought they would be a little heavier, weight wise. I was...

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

    I feel you Danny. My first pair of raw denim has been sitting at the post office for 4 days now. They are 20 minutes away from my house!

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Awesome jacket Jin. I think the fit is what puts this jacket on another level. I thought the first pics of the jacket itself were nice. I said "that is a nice jacket." After I scrolled down and saw the fit pics I said "that is on another level." I am really digging that sheene treatment. I think...

    Johnson Leathers Horween 4 oz Black overdye Custom size 42 / 44

    @ton312, Nice score! That thing looks like it would weigh around 20 pounds.

    JL custom m200

    I am not a huge fan of brown jackets, but this one has me thinking. Great looking jacket. Fit looks spot on. Hopefully we get to see this one age. I have yet to handle Horween CXL, I have only viewed pics, I would have to say they stand up to all comers. Can't wait to get mine.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I am going from regular levi's to the heavyweight denim, kinda like someone used to mall jackets and getting a LW J-24. No inbetween or warm up. lol.

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    No worries El Marro. I have a jacket on order with JL. I hope the hide is half as good as Ton's new acquisition. I am giving the jacket to my brother, he is a jacket newbie. lol. Anyone on this forum would notice the inferior quality of the hide if they were to handle it. I am actually thinking...

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    I can't really capture how disappointing this leather really is in pics. It reminds me of thicker Hillside leather. It is heavy, but very rubbery/spongy. I believe it is printed/corrected because every square inch has grain. I think if it was natural, it would have some smooth areas and grain...

    Johnson Leathers WWL-41

    I know they are just pics, but that leather looks stunning. Great looking jacket and fit. I thought it was a replica of a Langlitz '47. I hope we get to see this evolve and watch how the two tones age together.

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    Mine is 79kish. I got it in Sept./Oct. on '18.

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    Here you go TREE. Had to take the pics indoors. Sorry for the bad pics. The leather is even crappier in real life. "rubbery," printed, and dull.

    Aero worth the wait? Horsehide shootout; Aero vs. Schott

    Schotts are battle tested. Look how many are on ebay from the '70s and '80s. They are made for motorcycle use. 618's are made to protect you in the rain. They are made to be shoved in a saddlebag after use. I throw mine on the floor of the closet when not in use.

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    @TREEMAN, I am not sure when they started using it. I got my jacket around October of 18. I should have sent it back. very disappointing. Hopefully their new source will be much better.

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    ^ Thanks Guppy. Great looking jacket. I am going with a similar belt set up with my custom JL.

    Blowdryer + conditioner on Lost Worlds leather (before, during, after)

    I love seeing threads updated. All to often we get a thread started of an awesome jacket and then it gets buried, never to be revisited. I hope we can get more threads resurrected with evolution pics. Thanks @deswaaf for keeping this thread updated. Your jacket is looking better with each update!

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    @Guppy, I would love to see some pics of your King Of The Road jacket if you get the chance. You also said it worked well on the bike?
