    FS: Custom Aero Ridley Cordovan CXL FQHH - 46

    I have to make some space in my wardrobe for other jackets. Unfortunately I consider letting this gorgeous Aero Ridley I purchased through Thurston Bros. go. My style shifted more towards 1930/40 inspired and this cross-zip biker jacket did not get much wear in the recent time. Overall the...

    FS: WESCO Mr. Lou Engineer - Todd Blubaugh Special - 11.5D

    Selling my barely worn/ almost new WESCO Mr. Lou Engineer boots. Why? They just don't fit me perfectly and I have too many better fitting alternatives that get more wear. The boots have been designed between WESCO and motorcycle photographer Todd Blubaugh and have some super cool features vs...

    The Flathead Engineer Boots Black CXL Size 10.5

    Hi all, After days of debating with myself I have decided to part ways with my Flathead Engineers. I really wanted to make them work but the sizing is just not right for me - finding the right engineer has been discussed a lot and my very flat instep doesn't make it easier. They run 1 size...

    RED WING 8200 Chelsea Rancher Black Star - Size US11.5 RARE

    Selling my Red Wing Chelsea boots. Bought them a few years back in Berlin. It's a model that is quite difficult to come by and it was sold only in a few regions if I remember correctly. I had the the Stitched Welt blacked out when I bought them (if you google them you'll see originally it is...

    Field Leathers Customized Manhattan / Classic J-24 Review

    Hey everyone, It's been a while since I posted the last time, but I thought my latest leather jacket addition might be worth to be shared. Being a motorcyclists myself, I always had a soft-spot for the classic asymmetrical biker jacket. However, I never pulled the trigger on a D-pocket...

    The title says it all. Aero jacket #3 has just made it home and I’m more than satisfied with its outcome. For the first time I went through the highly recommended Thurston Bros fitting process (See discussion related to the fit jacket here) and included learnings from my other two jackets...

    New York City "pure & crafted" meetup

    Following the idea of the London Outerwear meetup, I thought we could set up something similar in New York City. It seems there are quite a few people from the wider area. I selected a little more broadly formulated title to include everyone who has a passion for something "well-made", being...

    Shearling jacket YELLOW thoughts?

    While strolling through NYC I just saw this shearling jacket. Obviously a fashion piece, however still made from 100% sheep shearling. I think it’s inspired by the AN-J-4. Surprisingly, the fit is spot on. Never have this with stock jackets. Since owning multiple Aero jackets I am always...

    Hi everybody, I am currently in the process of specifying Aero Jacket #3 with Carrie. Right now the weather is still beautiful and warm in NYC, but I want to plan ahead for the temperature drop in winter. My first thought was to go with a B-6 jacket in Seal.

    My broken in leather jacket

    For me the best part of the high-quality leather jackets discussed and shown here in the Lounge, is their development and to see how they become more beautiful with every wear. There are many pictures of great examples in various individual threads and threads addressing great looking leather...
