    Four Pair Red Wings, 3sixteen Jacket, and Epaulet Kuroki Denim Vest

    Like most people on forums about clothing and footwear, I've got some stuff sitting around that I don't wear enough/at all and would prefer to move them along to somebody who will use them. I've purchased a few jackets through the Classifieds section here on TFL and would prefer to sell...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I actually have an essentially brand new pair of 2990s laying around somewhere, I got them a long time ago and the low heel is actually why I didn't like them. Also the hide is struck through, and the brown-base klondike leather appealed to me a lot more then. As soon as I picked up the klondike...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    My vote is Wesco. Their domain leathers just evolve so well and they have the perfect amount of give--they mold over time but don't get too "flappy". I have the Brown Domain Iron Heart collabs in the 1930 make-up (7400 model) and they are such a great boot. I lucked out last week and found a...

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    Yep, thats pretty much it. The black coat on the vicenza is a lot more stubborn than the one on cxl, at least in my experience.

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    Thanks! This cut doesn't leave a lot of room in the shoulders, but it feels comfortable with a tee and I like the clean back so I opted to give up a little mobility for it. I think I could have sized up if I was planning to layer with anything but I've got one of Ton's bootleggers for that...

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    I don't ride, but even if I did I wouldn't do it in this jacket because the shoulder mobility isn't comfortable enough. I would probably wear s thicker jacket too, this jacket is substantial but doesn't have the armor feeling that CXL has.

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    I wanted to update this post with some more recent pictures. I took this jacket with me to Chile for 10 days and almost never took it off. I got this jacket in mid April this year but with it being summer in Texas I've had to wear it sparingly in the summer months. I managed to wear the jacket a...

    Aged Vicenza leather

    I picked up an Aero Ridley in the Blackened Brown Vicenza in April and have been wearing it as much as possible since then. Recently wore it in on a 10-day trip to Chile and wore it non-stop. I think the reason you don't see many worn-in pictures of the blackened brown is that it seems to be...

    Fine Creek Leather

    I keep that one too. It looks good and if you don't ride then the shorter sleeves shouldn't matter. The fit looks good to me, so if you like how it looks and it feels comfortable then I can't imagine returning it.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This looks great. If it were me I'd just wear the jacket to death and when the lining needs replacing or the it needs a new zip, explore the panel replacement then. The scratch is really just an aesthetic issue, not worth sending across the sea for repair.

    Fine Creek Leather

    The oz measurement of leather is still just a measure of thickness. Heddels has a short read about it here (https://www.heddels.com/2017/10/understanding-leather-weights/). Essentially 1 oz is equivalent to 1/64th in, or 0.4mm. Its pretty non-intuitive terminology, but I would guess it used to...

    Wanted: Fine Creek Leathers - Leon (The Noster) 40

    Rivet and hide just added FCL to their inventory today, looks like they have the Leon in 40 with the belt and epaulets.

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    After spending a few hours each of the past couple days in the jacket, I've decided to keep it. Its a snug fit for sure, but I have pretty good range of motion. It's a little limiting when I try to hug myself (hang in there buddy) or reach over to my opposite shoulder, but I think this will...

    New Aero Hooch Hauler and Broken in Premier Halfbelt

    Love the jacket, and it's an excellent fit. That midnight color is really intriguing (and gorgeous). Love that patch pocket too--it adds a ton of character. Will all those sub-tones, I can't wait to see this jacket worn in!

    Help on new board racer

    The top-zippers on the Board Racer have exposed tape because it's not built into the seam. The Cafe Racer style back sleeve zips are built into the seam and therefore have leather piping that hides the tape and most of the teeth. I don't think you'd be able to mix and match the elements due to...

    That jacket is wicked cool, and looks twice as good now compared to the initial photos. Fits great too!

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've been wearing the jacket all evening and I really like it. Even if I went full custom there isn't much I would want to change. I was a little iffy on the OD stitching, but I think I'm warming up to it. It looks good with both black and brown, so it...

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    Thanks! Have been admiring D-pockets from a distance for far too long, really happy to be able to put one on. The pants are indeed IH whipcord work pants, got lucky and found a pair pre-hemmed on the IH outlet in my size. I'm usually more of a jeans guy but these have really been growing on me.

    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    Hi all, I ordered this Aero D-Pocket Ridley off the Thurston Bros featured stock page a little less than a week ago and got it in the mail today. I was hoping to get some feedback on the fit/appearance. I am leaning towards keeping it, I'm really happy with the lighter weight leather and...

    Help out an Aero newbie

    Happy to help! As for the differences between the HH and Bootlegger, you're spot on about the fit difference--HH is closer, BL fits larger. Pattern wise, the back construction is the main difference.
