    Stetson Newsboy - Hatteras Wool, 59 cm (7 1/4); for sale or trade

    Hello, I was given this for Christmas, but it is too small for me and has hardly been worn as a result. I would like to sell it to buy one that fits, or trade it for a size 61 cm Stetson Newsboy. I can upload photos of the hat itself shortly, but I assure you it is in new condition as it has...

    70s/early 80s Lesco MC jacket

    Thanks Guppy, I like the brass on this one but it is very yellow. I did see yours and was on the verge of messaging you last night re measurements etc. I didn't because I don't want to spend more than I did on this one, at least not by much, and I didn't want to low ball you. I'll pm you about...

    70s/early 80s Lesco MC jacket

    Thanks man. Holy mutha, what manner of sorcery made that leather!? I think the fit looks way better in the pics than in the flesh tbh. I'll sleep on it but I think I'm going to return it, unless anyone here really wants it in which case I'll pass it on at the same price. The label does say 46...

    70s/early 80s Lesco MC jacket

    Cheers buddy. I've not seen any of their brown jackets yet, but I'll certainly keep an eye out. I paid 150 pounds for this one, which I understand is in the right range. I think if I make the adjustments mentioned above I'll pull it off ok, but partof me is thinking I could just return it and...

    70s/early 80s Lesco MC jacket

    Hi Everyone, Here are the photos. I can post some more later of the back and with the belt, which some moron kack-handedly shortened. But I knew that before I bought it. This is a great jacket made with lovely leather. It's a bit bigger than expected and is a bit too roomy on me. The pics...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Oh and @Fanch it was your pics of ken and his 50s half belt that inspired me to get one. I think that's the best fitting jacket I've seen, unsurprisingly. Your Sheene looks great too.

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Haha well spotted. The men in my family are a bit hobbity in configuration. At a humble 5' 11" I'm the tallest. I swear my older brother is no more than 5' 8", short legs for his height and all but refuses to cover his extremely wide, hairy feet. But in any case, I'm sure there's a reason Aero...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Hear, hear! Yes this is what I've realised also. I'm not long legged for my height so it's a big improvement if I wear them somewhere near my actual waist. Took me longer than it should have to realise higher rise jeans are required and it's not just a matter of hiking up low rise ones... I...

    Show me your favorite jacket

    hahaha it's the worst thing I've ever seen! Can't believe it still hasn't sold for just $250. God, we've seen 2nd hand Vansons and Aeros go for that much.

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Thanks! I'm kind of in agreement regarding the length to be honest, but that's as much as they would add, plus those are quite low rise jeans. I have a pair of jeans that sit higher and the length looks good (belt not visible). Over time I'll phase out the old jeans for higher rise ones, which...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Apparently the waiting time for retailers is the usually same. I was told to expect an 8-10 week wait so we were very surprised when it arrived. It might be due to Aero running low/out of certain hides so they catch up on orders that dont require them. Hope the wait isn't hurting too bad ;)

    Which Vanson model is this?

    Thanks El Marro. I'm just browsing around for something affordable and black for the time being, but I do like this style from Vanson. Ideally, something without belt loops, visible/non-black brass tacks (or whatever you call them) or zip sleeves would be perfect. I like the Raid a lot. Glad to...

    Which Vanson model is this?

    Cheers for the replies guys. I thought it would be some kind of mashup. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the sleeves. I hadn't noticed that. The front pockets where the belt loops should be are weird.

    Which Vanson model is this?

    Morning All, This is the jacket in question. I can't figure out which Vanson it is, or is based off if it's a custom job. Cheers Furrowson

    Vanson Model F, 44, black comp weight, pristine like new, $500

    Fair enough. I'm just a bit puzzles at the difference from the measurements listed by Vanson. Good luck with the sale. It really is a very nice jacket but wouldn't fit me.

    Vanson Model F, 44, black comp weight, pristine like new, $500

    Nice jacket but those measurements don't seem like those of a 44". Here's their measurement chart.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It all sounds good but it might just be a bit silly to get the ultimate bike jacket when I don't even ride.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Blimey, maybe z-150 or a 2nd hand one that's preabused might be better for me, when the time comes. Not in the market for anything for a good while, but like any good addict I'm already thinking about it. An Enfield without zip sleeves would be pretty sweet I think. I can't imagine wearing...

    That is just awesome.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Ahh that site is gonna give me the ole' leather blue balls. Crumbs, better start saving. Do they only have the two leather choices (Firenze and comp weight)? How does the competition weight compare with CXL FQHH? I'm thinking of something a little gentler and black for my next one. The...
