    Real McCoys Oklahoma (Deerskin)

    I recently purchased Superfluous' Real McCoys Oklahoma (42). It arrived today in perfect condition, can't have been worn more than a handful of times. Sadly it's too big for me around the torso and so I know it's better to move it on rather than dither for a few months before doing so. It really...

    My first Aero -- is it a keeper?

    Take my opinion with a healthy dose of salt, because I don't like this style of jacket, but I'd say return or pass it on. I wouldn't care about the zipper because really you don't zip jackets up that much (unless you're caught out in bitter enough conditions that you wish you were wearing a...

    Aero has natural CXL from Horween!!!

    Very nice jacket. You have to hand it to Aero they make really nice jackets.

    Good Wear-abouts

    Seems like FL, while respectful, doesn't pull any punches regarding the pros and cons of jackets and jacket makers. That said I don't seem to recall anyone saying anything bad about a GW jacket. Granted I've never seen one in the flesh but am I the only one that thinks the fits on the jackets...

    Nice hat! Wait, what jacket is that?

    Good Wear-abouts

    I think PN’s advice of not selling it until you have another (then choosing which one you prefer) is the way to go. On the situation in general. I decided to order a GW a while back and wrote to ask a few questions but never got a reply so didn’t bother. Seemed like a bad sign. He should post...

    My Aero Board Racer in soft black steerhide review

    I think the jacket looks great. I didn’t see the misalignment when I first looked but saw it once it was pointed out. I don’t think you’d be out of order returning it, but I also don’t think it’s nescessary if it’s not preying on your mind every time you see the jacket. Also for what it’s worth...

    Newbie Questions As I Plan For My First Custom Aero

    Happened to look back at my order to check the sleeve length and noticed from the email exchanges that you can taper if you want (but I didn’t). I had really wanted and an inch off the chest and waist of the 42, which wasn’t possible. So, apologies Carlos (and everyone else for the faulty...

    Subjective personal opinions can be difficult to reconcile, and sometimes downright bewildering

    The GW looks great on you and with a 3 year wait you shouldn't ditch it unless you're completely certain. Not an easy mistake to undo. In fact if you think you'll replace it then PN's suggestion of getting another and selling the one you don't like is a good one!

    Can anyone read Japanese?

    Ahhh, should've done that. It's a shame Chrome can't pick out the text in the image.

    Can anyone read Japanese?

    Yep, it's be nice if that works out but I won't sweat it too much if it doesn't. Again, very much appreciate your help!

    Can anyone read Japanese?

    Yes, it's Tenjin. The webform just didn't work for me so I called them up and got their email. For anyone that's interested it's info@tenjinworks.com. They were nice and have replied to my initial email. I'm currently figuring out sizing for a JT01 (I believe the current version has no chest...

    Yes, it's Tenjin. The webform just didn't work for me so I called them up and got their email. For anyone that's interested it's info@tenjinworks.com They currently have a 'Golden Week Special' on. Thank you so much!

    How to age (or destroy?) a CXL FQHH Highwayman (pic heavy)

    This really looks great. I think at all stages your jacket looks better than it did new, but not as good as if you'd distressed it by wearing it for ten years (the last iteration is really close in my opinion though). So other than robbing yourself of the distressed look you might get if you'd...

    Seeking some honest CR fit feedback

    I think it looks great. Sleeves a little short but as everyone’s said, not short enough to ditch the jacket. If you comfy wearing it then that’s that.

    Psychology: The One

    I'm not sure if this is a joke or meant seriously.... If you're looking for protection from the elements a leather jacket is probably one of the worst pieces of modern clothing technology you could turn to.... Don't get me wrong I turn to it often, but definitely not because it's weatherproof...

    Seeking some honest CR fit feedback

    As per usual, accurate. I think you need to post pictures with the jacket unzipped because you won't wear this jacket zipped unless it's so cold you shouldn't be wearing it! (J-100, albeit with angle pockets, is my absolute favorite.) The only issue is the sleeves but unzipping will alleviate...

    Newbie Questions As I Plan For My First Custom Aero

    Ah interesting. From the Aero website: "It was never our intention to offer "Custom Made" jackets much beyond a choice of lining, colour of zippers and basic size amendments such as an 1" or 2" off the length or added to the length of the sleeve or body to fit taller or shorter customers as our...
