    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    It would appear to me the quality leather jacket (Aero, GW etc) market is pretty competitive. To think one could fine a similar quality new jacket for hundreds of dollars less is folly. Hey I've been through this drill, as many others have. Once you have an A2 from Goodwear, Aero, Eastman etc...

    Zipper Replacement Already?

    Being a bit ham handed I would have a 10 on and jacket made of a heavier leather. My workwear with zippers are all YKK # 10s(nylon and brass) and for many years have been flawless.

    Optimal Weight/Thickness

    Except for a few applications such as fashion, welding,shoes and boots, motorcycle riding and a few others, leather is pretty much obsolete as a garment fabric. It has been replaced by lighter, more flexible, more economical, better fitting and more available fabrics. That said I have a couple...

    Burned on Ebay

    Once you confirm the maker is RM, Great Leather can fix it thus adding back value. Not the right size is a tough fix.

    New Bates website, insane?

    The first decent leather jacket I ever had was a Bates CR. This was in the 70s. The process was to send in your measurements from a magazine add. I dont recall if you could customize beyond your measurements. The jacket was most likely steer or cowhide. I recall the jacket as being very well...

    The differences in that sleeve would be of no concern to me. I would enjoy watching it age.

    Post Pics of Your Cafe Racer Jackets

    I'll give George kudos for having the 'nads to sing next to Pavarotti because he sounds anemic next to Pavarotti. However, George is much more of an entertainer.

    New Aero Jean Jacket 557XX Type III

    I've worn the type 3 since the late 60s. I recall the price around $7.50 usd. In the early 70s I recall seeing, in a store, 2 Levis leather type 3 in my size. Seems to me they were a split hide of some sort with the smooth side in. Many times over a few months I would stop and try on each one...

    cockpit usa a2 jacket

    I had a Cooper. Wore it plenty and it was a good fit. Replacing the knits was more than the worth of the jacket so it went to Goodwill. Replaced it with a GW Doniger
