    Are Aero Jackets that good?

    Personally, while I love Aero and have owned about 20 of their jacket over the years, they aren't good riding jackets in my experience. They just aren't cut very well for it. You need a jacket designed to allow high arm position (depending on your bike's riding position) and for me that is...

    WTB: Black ELMC Roadstar 42

    I went to order the size up but they didn't have the walnut available at that time. I've been meaning to sell off 2 other jackets first but havent had time.

    FS: Rainbow Country Hercules, Seal Brown, Size 42

    Damn that's a nice jacket! Lucky for my bank account its a size too small for me.

    Confounded by sizing

    I used to be obsessed with finding the "perfect" measurements but as you've discovered, different patterns can make jackets fit differently even with the same measurements. A half inch difference isn't going to make any realistic difference in how a jacket fits when worn out in the wild and...

    Frustrated at Aero prices increases

    Ouch! My first Aero ordered in 2012 was £625, custom order with Vintage Brown FQHH & tartan lining. Inflation is a killer.

    The Flat Head sizing help

    You will need something bigger than 42. Thats as much as I can help. I could just squeeze into the 42 with a 41 inch chest.

    New Thedi MTC-1279720 "Memphis" Arrived This Weekend

    Great jacket! It looks anything but brand new but also doesn't look like most of the ridiculously "fake distressed" jackets you see today.

    Eastman Roadstar .

    They must run with very low inventory (or selling a lot of jackets?). They were out of the black when I ordered a Windward about 12 months ago, it was about a 6 week turnaround. Likewise they are out of the Walnut currently, it won’t be back in till early - mid April before they can start making...

    Eastman Roadstar .

    Thanks @mumpy but I expect I’ll have to go brand new unfortunately. These things are just too rare in the aftermarket to allow the option of the size and colour I’m after. I guess the same situation that makes me need to buy a bigger size in this is also making me sell a few other jackets so...

    Eastman Roadstar .

    @Marc mndt thanks for the info and the heads up on the one on the VLJ forum, it’s a great price but I’m definitely after one in Walnut and I’m thinking the 44 might be a better bet for me now. I’ve got an ELMC Windward in Black and that scratches my itch for a black cross zip jacket @mumpy I...

    Eastman Roadstar .

    @Marc mndt, can I ask what size chest do you have? I've gained about 8-10kg in the gym and had to sell my old Roadstar which was a size 40. That was boarderline too snug on me at 73 to 75 ish kg and a 41 inch chest. I couldn't wear anything under it but a T-shirt. I'm now about 83kg with a...

    Eastman Roadstar Crosszip

    I trim them down. The certainly help but are way to long. I just cut off about half the length. Best of both worlds, it keeps the ease of zipping but removes the streamer/ribbon look.

    ELMC Californian Bi-Swing Back

    For what its worth, I've had 4 ELMC Californian's over the past few years and while the back didn't lay perfectly flat, they didn't flare/up out as much as yours does. (or quite as much as the stock photo either). I just checked the 2 I still have and I couldn't feel any elastic through the...

    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    I ordered a Goodwear jacket expecting an 18 month to 2 year wait, at 6 years with no real due date, I cancelled the order. Not only was the excitement for that jacket completely gone by then, but it somehow killed my enthusiasm for leather jackets in general. I'm not quite sure why, John...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Vintage Gold Label Brooks finally made it, I think it was in transit for just over 4 weeks…eBay international shipping is TERRIBLE at the moment, so slow. Anyway, great jacket. Tagged a 42 but definitely a size up from my brown Gold Label brooks which is also tagged a 42. This has...
