    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    How did you find the process of getting that on and off? Easy to do alone or better with assistance?

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    I'll be honest, I don't even like the back! Haha. Plus that buckle is in a stupid place- whenever did you want something like that pressed into your spine every time you sit on a car seat? I would like a video of someone contorting themselves in an effort to wiggle into this! By the way, I do...

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    Putting the thing on and taking it off were the main reasons for making me think it is a very bad idea... I can only imagine it would be phenomenally difficult!!

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    Either it's a very short jacket or a very wide one. A strange shape to my eye. I don't like the look of it, but maybe it looks better worn? A leather pullover seems a bad idea.

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    There's photos of him still looking ok in the mid 1980's, and looking his worst around about the turn of the millennium. You're right about fluctuating, I think, but I can't find any photos of him looking morbidly obese until he was an old man. Here's an amusing article about his horrendous...

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Over delivering is a good thing, but dodging a $10k bill for a photo shoot at the expense of sales/perceived value/reputation is a weird decision, in my mind.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Vanson have been in desperate need of a upgrade to their website for ages. They could also do with hiring some models and conducting a professional photoshoot... It seems peculiar to me how the majority of companies we talk about here haven't made the effort to produce some kick ass photography...

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    The first time I really noticed it was one particular jacket, from a maker that shall remain nameless, where the underarm sleeve panel on the left side was a MUCH lighter shade than the rest of the jacket. It was an eBay bargain and I knew what I was getting, but how it passed QC I have no idea...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    His published biography states he was 5'8 3/4, and 144lbs, as a young man. He became dangerously fat later in life, but he looked to still be under 200lbs in Godfather, certainly not 332lbs...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Cuban heels don't seem very common in London, and when I have spotted them they've been on shorter guys. I love boots, and have various types of soles and heels, but the ones I wear more often are the ones which are more flexible and less rigid underfoot.

    I think the bonus third panel under the armpit is to allow for crafting a larger/lower armhole. Supposedly, with thick/stiff material you are better off with three vertical panels, as mentioned above, to provide better contouring and freer movement.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Let's hope so! It feels like you two are in uncharted territory

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I just hope you're able to move in that leather... Fingers crossed for the two of you! They do look impressive.

    Aero Natural CXL HH J-106/KotR/Indian Mix Biker Jacket

    Having provided us with the one year update last summer, any chance now of the two year update? I'm keen to see how this great jacket is developing.

    Is your Aero Cafe Racer comfortable to do up, Ton? The front of the collar looks like it is above chin height. Aero's board and cafe racers seem to have rather unique mandarin collars in a couple of ways, judging by a few recent posts.

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    19.75" is plenty for that p2p for almost everyone, and a quarter of an inch isn't going to make any difference of note.

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    A very cool jacket, Carrie! Which leather is that made from, please? Judging by the photos it looks like Dark Seal or Blackened Brown Vicenza. Near black, but you can see the brown where the sun hits.

    Aero Fontana CR Black steer CXL v. 1.0

    Thanks. That is pretty snug. With leather, for a jacket in that size, I believe you'd usually want 18 or 18 1/4" there. I know Cafe Racers/Board Racers are intentionally snug, but still. That's the equivalent of a 15" collar on a dress shirt.
