    Riri vs Crown zipper

    Could someone help me understand what are the key functional differences between Riri and Crown zippers? My understanding is both are very robust - but Crown is significantly more expensive.

    I wore one jacket for the whole winter!

    Rain or shine I’ve been wearing just one (of 3 I own) for this whole winter! My other winter jacket was sent to a jacket maker to have a mouton collar made - sent it in Nov and hopefully get it done this month at last. I’ve been off this forum and stopped browsing classified for 4 weeks as...

    Heaviest military wool coat recommendation

    So for a change I’m not asking questions on leather jackets! I’m a sick of the cold rainy weather in London - for work, I wear a Paul Smith mohair overcoat everyday - with a big backpack on it (yes I know it’s not good for the coat.). I’ve been doing this for over a decade and this nice coat is...

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    I wonder if some of you have owned both LW and Aero ANJ4 - and if so what are your comments on build quality, thickness, weight and wearability? Not asking about warmth as I’m sure either would be more than warm enough! I hesitated a long time about a sheepskin jacket but in the end decided...

    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    I caught a cold and didn’t want to pass onto others in the house - so last night I decided to sleep in the living room on a mattress. I thought what an excellent opportunity to sleep in my new jacket to help break in!! So after a hot bath I slipped into my cold, stiff and heavy armory aero...

    What’s your best hanger for leather jackets?

    Earlier in the year when I made a decision to get back into leather jackets - first thing I did was buying 3 of these delux cedar wood hangers! They were sold in UK by an Amazon retailer Hanger World, but when I checked today I could no longer find them. I did find the identical one on a US shop...

    Removable mouton collar construction

    Hi guys I’m about to commission a removable mouton collar for a straight zip with medium size collar. I previously thought about replicating the construction of Shangri-La collar, as in pics attached. I do recognize two short falls with this construction: 1) there are only 3 points to fix...

    Vanson Enfield HH - fit and collar fold line

    Thanks to a fellow lounger in Taiwan - this heavyweight Vanson Enfield in HH arrived today. It’s size 42 so too big for me (40), but I knew this when buying it and plan to layer thick jumpers underneath this jacket when it gets really cold. Plan to get a mouton collar made for it as well. I put...

    Worlds heaviest denim shorts - Soso 33oz cut off shorts!

    Some like it thick n heavy! Ever since I got a Samurai Jeans monster belt earlier this year - I’ve been wanting to buy a pair of heavy denim shorts to go with it. And yes I’m a shorts person for temps higher than 18 Celsius and I pair shorts with heavy HH MC jackets ;) The heaviest I could...

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    I’m seeing so many new and near new aero jackets on sale here and on eBay - beautiful HH or SH only just started being broken in. So I can wonder why?? If it’s a used jacket I can understand fit can be off either due to it was tailored for someone else before, or owner physique has changed...

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    I hope I’m not alone with this problem. I know exactly what jacket I want, but it’s not the widely and commonly for sale model that show up in Classified or eBay almost weekly. I even posted a WTB ad! But - what I discovered is - while waiting for that dream jacket to show up for sale (2nd...

    How heavy is your aero jacket?

    Because I’ve been researching into Cal and LW CHP jackets and how heavy the good ones can be etc - out of curiosity I weighed my two aero jackets: - HWM 40 steerhide 2.5KG - that’s a shocker it’s so light!! I bought this second hand from Japan though. - KoTR 40 HH 3.2KG - about 7.1Ib I think...

    Really WTB Lost Worlds 5oz CHP or Ryder 40/42

    I’ve gone crazy over a heavy weight LW Custom CHP or Ryder in 5oz HH - my size is 40-42. Honestly I cannot afford forking out 2-3K on a new order and pay painful import duties to UK customs. Anyone of you lucky guys want to sell your LW CHP or Ryder please PM me - I promise to pay a crazy good...

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    I saw this straight Cal on eBay and it’s my size. I also like the fur collar! But buying for it to be sent to UK has helfty duties and postage. Asking price is 625 USD plus like 120 shipping and duties...

    Mouton collar maker in UK

    Hi guys I’d like to get a detachable mouton collar made for my aero HWM. Both aero and Byson Leathers turned down my request - aero said they won’t like the aesthetics of snaps for detachable, and Byson won’t do it without an existing collar as pattern and won’t matter even if I send in my...

    Hi guys With three leather jackets in active rotation this autumn I’m a happy boy! My new aero KoTR with cotton twill feels perfect for 10-15 degrees range.

    Heavy weight denim crotch wear

    The heaviest weight denim I’d worn before was around 12oz Diesel, Levis and Union. They always always worn through the crotch after two years or so of weekend wear - despite rest of the jeans still had lots of life left. This almost made me give up wearing jeans as can’t justify the costs for...
