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

    I bought a new 618hh around september. It was my second 618hh. It was a lot stiffer than my previous one. It took considerable more time to break in. It is finally a bit softer and more manageable now. Your jacket looks good, I think you will be fine. Give it some time, and you will start to...

    JL custom m200

    I think side laces give extra options. Let them out in the colder months to allow for a hoodie, tighten up in summer for t-shirt only. My waistline is always expanding and contracting so the laces are a big plus for me. I also think they add to the look of the jacket. Can't wait to see the final...

    Never to be seen again.

    Vanson E or C2? Classic CW(Sold!)

    @dannyk, That was probably THE BEST Vanson I have ever seen. Hopefully it went to a lounger so we can still see pics once in awhile.

    Recommendations for Riding Jeans

    Well.... I am peeking down the raw denim rabbit hole. I had a few beers and ordered a pair of Bravestar 21oz. jeans. They had a black Friday sale. Got them for $100. Way more than I have ever spent on a pair of my "dad" jeans. Hope they fit my "dad" bod. lol. Should get them in a week or so.

    You need a badass cross zip to go with your badass cars. (nudge, nudge)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I agree with you. I will probably opt for one on most of my mc jackets. They are a big plus in 40 degree weather, plus they look bad to the bone. That collar rocks on your LW. Can't wait to see one on 1 of JMax's fine jackets.

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    Schott doesn't really accommodate fit guys as well. I think they are more tailored towards beer drinking bikers. Maybe that's why I like them. They seem to fit my "dad bod" pretty well.

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    WWWHHHHYYYYYYYYY!!! One of the biggest blunders on the lounge. You should have to wear a "puffy" jacket all winter as penance. LOL.

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    Right on J! I Would hate to throw a body shot to your J23. I would be out of work for 6-8 weeks. lol.

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    I am a little late on the Aero, Schott comparison. Around here, Schott mostly plays second fiddle to Aero for the most part. How many documented zipper failures on the Aero compared to zipper failures on the Schott? Schotts seem to "get ridden hard and put away wet" in the real world. I would...

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

    I am gonna go against the grain and vote for Schott. As much as I love the way the Aero looks, to me, it is just that. I think the Schott is a better MC jacket. I have a 618 (and probably always will), and it has become my go-to jacket to ride in. The #5 front zipper disqualifies the Aero for MC...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    LOL. I had a better pic set up. Had the jacket staged perfect. Then a big gust came and blew it on the ground. There were people around in thier vehicles watching the angry lake. They were probably wondering, what is this idiot(me) doing. This guy pulls up on his motorcycle, takes his jacket off...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Took the glide out after the Browns game. 46 degrees with 40mph winds. Rode up to an angry Lake Erie with 10 foot waves in my Johnson Leather. The 3.5oz. "SFPD leather" easily handled the rough conditions until I tried to take a pic. I had It staged and the wind blew the jacket off the bike...

    looks great Jin. I bet that brown will age beautifully.

    Shinki vs Badalassi - elasticity

    Schott calls their "naked" leather, cow; and their "finished" leather, steer. Not sure about other companies.

    Take care of that jacket collection, (I should say, let that jacket collection take care of you). One of the best collections on the lounge (I'm MC jacket bias)

    Aeroleathers Coastal Command Jacket

    JL custom m200

    I wish I could Don. I would be like a kid in a candy store. It's about a 2500 mile ride from the rock capital. It would be an epic destination.
