    AERO's undersized zips

    I hate the way #10 zips look exposed like on Vanson’s. Probably wouldn’t be too bad if covered by the leather fold like on Aero jackets. I think a #8 would be perfect.

    Vanson Oxford, Size 38, Dark Hickory Vancouver (dyed black)

    Zippers and buckles are too large and shiny being chrome. I don’t like the exposed zipper sleeves on my other Oxford, and the leathers are a little too shiny/loud for my taste. That’s the reason I dyed them both black. I only keep a max of 3 leather jackets at a time, and I prefer my 2 Aeros...

    Vanson Oxford (Thurston Bainbridge Leather) size 38

    I’m pretty sure it will. The new owner will have to post it worn in as it’s sold.

    Vanson Oxford, Size 38, Dark Hickory Vancouver (dyed black)

    Vanson Oxford from Thurston originally in dark hickory Vancouver then dyed black using fiebings pro dye. This leather is a lot softer, grainier, and shinier than their bainbridge. Some of the shine has worn off on the collar, forearms, lower back. Does not have windflap, zip cuffs, or zip...

    Vanson Oxford (Thurston Bainbridge Leather) size 38

    Selling my Vanson Oxford, size 38, from Thurston originally in their blue bainbridge leather which I dyed black using fiebings pro leather dye. Only minor issue is the fold on the top of the zipper tape came loose, but the actual tape is still completely attached. I’m selling this for cheap...

    Just placed an order for their Chicago in size 40. Does anyone here have this model/size and can post its measurements?

    Brown highwayman style jackets with an aggressive V taper?

    Aero’s are still around $1000 for us in America. This price is before any leather upgrades or options. I would suggest that the op buys a sheene which is already patterned with an aggressive taper.

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    Just received my Hendrik’s the other day after a 20 month wait. Quality is about on par with my other Wesco’s. Nothing totally egregious but stitching and symmetry could be better. Only mistake they made was to add toe caps when asked not to. There’s no way I’m having them remade and waiting...

    Fit Check: Real McCoy's N-1

    I would size down as long as you aren’t going to be wearing heavy sweaters underneath.

    How tight should a leather jacket fit?

    I am built like the OP with a 9in drop and broad shoulders too and have gone through about a dozen “custom” jackets to find a good fit. I’m of the mindset now of buying a stock size that fits in the chest and shoulders and sending it off to Carrie or JL to tailor the torso and hem. It’ll cost...

    Does FL usually take awhile to respond to emails? Is it best to dm them on IG?

    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    I can’t tell any difference in warmth between my goatskin and cowhide jackets. It comes down to lining and what you are wearing underneath.

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    That sucks. There is no excuse for these companies to not check the boots against the order. What did they mess up on?
