    Wanted: 1930's-40's Gibson L-00 or L-00 Guitar in any condition

    To the OP, there seems to be quite a few on Reverb right now and pricing seems to have backed off from the craziness of a few years ago. Here's my 1935 "desert island" guitar, no maple or twin pickguards, but a good one!

    Wanted: 1930's-40's Gibson L-00 or L-00 Guitar in any condition

    Nice guitars, L-00’s rule and they are still relatively plentiful and reasonably priced. Interesting twin guard!

    The TFL Effect

    Ha, good one. Before I came here, I didn’t even know there were this many kinds of leather jackets....and that I seemed to need a lot of them!

    Collar Stand

    I’ve had a LW A2 both with and without collar stand. Both of them were completely stiff, no real difference. I kept the collar stand one and solved the problem by getting it completely soaked in the rain shortly after I got it and molding the collar down to where I liked the look and the feel.

    Lost Worlds J23 Initial Review

    Love the OP’s jacket, hopefully it’s breaking in nicely. LW is always outstanding kit. I’m almost reluctant to go to the website, I always want to buy something!

    Optimal Weight/Thickness

    It depends on the jacket and intended use of course. My Lost Worlds Easy Ryder is Stuart’s heaviest HH and it is perfect for the task. I used to exclusively want only the heaviest jackets. I had a Lost Worlds Downtown in the same weight as the motorcycle jacket and that was really heavy. It...

    Selling Vanson CHP2, Aero Barnstormer; trading for/buying Lost Worlds Size 40-42, others?

    Downtown is not tapered anywhere. Straight as an arrow. This is great for layering. I find even if I have a substantial sweater on, I can still move comfortably and the sleeves fall more comfortably higher on the wrist. Must go to the mountains this winter!

    I weigh 180 lbs. I will try and remember to post measurements of both jackets, have them somewhere .

    Selling Vanson CHP2, Aero Barnstormer; trading for/buying Lost Worlds Size 40-42, others?

    Just read your comments on the Barnstormer. My Downtown 42 fits the same way with the sleeves and I don’t reach for it that often for the same reason. (I am also 5’9”.) it’s kind of become my raincoat.....at least it’s lighter than the previous one. All that leather adds up in a 3/4 coat!

    Selling Vanson CHP2, Aero Barnstormer; trading for/buying Lost Worlds Size 40-42, others?

    JJ, a word about Stuart’s Downtowns. In my experience they run kind of large everywhere. I was virtually swimming in the 44 that I sold. The 42 I bought to replace it was hardly smaller.

    Delayed Sticker Shock.

    I didn't have sticker shock for the first couple of jackets. I traded Stuart for some vintage guitar gear. After that the sticker shock was instant, nothing delayed about it. I went crazy for a year or two, then it abated a bit. I can go for a long time without thinking about...

    New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

    Got it. My Bootlegger has the military style epaulets, so probably not slim fit as another poster suggested. It feels slimmer than my other jackets, but I am pretty sure that's because this is a 40 and most of the other jackets are 42

    New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

    Sounds about right for me as well. I'm sure that is why she said go with the size 40 in my case.

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    I will sell if it doesn't fit or I don't wear it. But it is hard, sometimes it takes a long time to actually do it. Yet it is really unavoidable in my big picture. Same thing with guitars, amplifiers and motorcycles.......

    New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

    Thanks for the feedback on sizing. Sounds like the same size 40 will work for the Teamster, which I think will have the wool lining. That would be a first for me on a jacket and I am a little concerned on how that may affect sizing. However, I will most likely go the Thurston/Carrie route...

    New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

    Thanks again for all the kind comments, now of course it's my favorite jacket. Ok on the rain. Surely there will be another Aero in my future.Teamster in Midnight Blue calling.....patience patience! Is sizing pretty consistent across the Aero line? Ie will a Teamster tend to fit like the...

    New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

    Not really "new", but new to me! I really love this jacket. I am struck by how well it fits, the arms in particular are slim fitting but comfortable. I definitely won't be doing any heavy layering, but won't really need to. The jacket does not have the inner cuffs, which I am kind of happy...

    Vintage odor removal

    I have found cedar shavings in a cotton bag or old sock works pretty well for jackets. Don't see why it wouldn't be good for shoes/boots.
