    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    Interesting. I just called Alan at Johnson Leathers this morning to ask him about the possibility of doing a Trucker in Deer. And he informed me he also has a selection of Elk and Buffalo available. Choices choices. I've always been partial to the light brown buckskin color.

    FSOT: Custom Aero / Buco J-100 Black Vicenza Horsehide size 40

    The tag says 44 but it fits like a size 42. But no worries.

    Aero "Team" Board Racer

    The stars down the sleeves are definitely a signature Bates style. I always thought that stars would be difficult to pull off...unless you're the kind that loves attention.

    Aero Vicenza vs CXL FQHH vs CXL Steerhide = 1st world problems

    And here are two dark seal Vicenzas (and the Shinki.) The Vicenza on the far left is very different in color and grain than the earlier Vicenza in the middle. It's been my experience that horsehide varies greatly from batch to batch. And that's why I would never render an opinion condemning a...

    Aero Vicenza vs CXL FQHH vs CXL Steerhide = 1st world problems

    Until you get a chance in person, here you go...brown shinki (Himel Kensington) on right, dark seal Vicenza (early batch Aero Dustbowl) on left.

    Aero Vicenza vs CXL FQHH vs CXL Steerhide = 1st world problems

    So I'm just a little curious Fortehus- how many Aero Vicenza jackets do you or have you owned? And how many Aero FQHH or Steerhide jackets do you or have you owned? Just want to know what kind of first hand experience you're basing your opinions on- with regards to Vicenza, FQHH, and steerhide.

    Aero Vicenza vs CXL FQHH vs CXL Steerhide = 1st world problems

    Over the years I've owned a few Aeros in the CXL HH and a few Vics. And slowly I've become a big fan of the Vic leather...it's just perfect for the windy and often cooler foggy weather around here. The hide hits that sweet spot of having enough weight and thickness to feel substantial, but still...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Are you sure that's Cal Leather? I thought Hard On Leathers made their own jackets. Maybe I was wrong... Either way, that's more of a size 40 than 42...Damn. Love the shoulder/elbow pads.

    Aero Premier Highwayman midnight blue CXL

    Absolutely a work of art! Love the top zip sleeves...and the collar is super sweet. This is one of the few jackets where it looks even better in the fit pictures. Hopefully you can put some miles on this one, kick it around the highway some, and get some age and character to it. Nicely done!

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    How did I miss this? Looks great on you! Maybe a little tight in the shoulders, but perhaps it's because you're layered up. Definitely much better without the belt... I bought my Ridley (Dark Seal Vic) from Ksozay and I absolutely love it- one of my favorite jackets. Warning- be prepared to get...

    Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket

    I remember that Vanson Horsehide Trucker! I can only imagine if it was anything like this hide, then it was truly amazing. BTW, even though I picked this up at the flea, the seller clearly knew what he had and that Vanson was a name to charge premium $$ for...and it wasn't exactly a steal...

    Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket

    I believe Kim (Vanson) said during this brief time they were making horsehide jackets they sourced it from somewhere else...but honestly that conversation was a long time ago, and I'm not really sure. But I've never handled any Horween quite like this stuff...it's insanely thick and heavy with...

    Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket

    Thanks for the info! It's definitely some of the heaviest hide I've owned. Way back when Vanson was in town doing a promotion, I asked Kim Vanson if they were ever going to do horsehide again, and she said it was doubtful.

    Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket

    Just came across this vintage Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket this morning at the flea market. Super excited to find such a rare beast out in the wild...and unexpected. The hide is incredibly heavy, and has an element of red in the brown. Riri zips which, I believe, indicates an earlier version...
