    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Aero Type J-106 (or maybe it's a D-pocket Ridley?) size 40, natural CXL, pretty good price considering the recent increases. Just a tad small for me, based on the measurements the seller gave me in messages: shoulder is 18.5 and waist is 19” pit to pit 24.5“ body length 24.5" and arm is...

    Aero J-106 with KOTR back.

    Well if I hadn't just started an order for pretty much this exact configuration... Mine will have an inside pocket. Curious, why did you fold back and sew the belt? I thought the KOTR belt was detachable, doesn't it slide through the kidney panel?

    Vintage Cal Leather Horse Hide CHP 60s Black Motorcycle Jacket 44-46 true 25" PtoP

    Very nice, if it was a 23-24" p2p I'd be very tempted.

    Is a leather jacket & shorts a fashion faux pas?

    CPO Shirts and Shirt-Jackets

    Here's another update... I learned about the Weatherwool company through The Iron Snail's youtube channel. When I checked out their website, they had none in stock, and the way they are set up, you can place an order for $0 to be notified when they are available again for purchase. Initially...

    WTB- Aero Suede Type 3 size 40

    A bunch of them on yahoo Japan for the past few years, and not expensive at all. Keep an eye out.

    Bob Dong deck jacket.

    Only for certain merchants/items within AliExpress. Gotta read the fine print.

    Bob Dong deck jacket.

    There shouldn't be a customs charge for a return, but return postage to China can be much more than they charge for postage from China to the US.

    Bob Dong deck jacket.

    So you're saying you wish your Dong was a little bigger? Yeah that's pretty common.

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    Looks like a leather pea coat.

    My order, sale price: 788.75 today: 1,087.50. (+100 for the KOTR customization, which I can't specify in their order form, 20 888.75 vs 1187.50). Difference: 298.75 (33.6%). I guess I got a good deal, then! Almost $400 USD off.

    No; if the cost went from 900 to 600, that would be a 33% off discount. Going from 600 to 900 is a 50% increase. You take the percentage as a percentage of the starting value.

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    The Badalassi is an additional upcharge, and fairly steep at +120 GBP. It's great leather, can't go wrong with it. It's a matter of preference, but to me I don't think it's any better than CXLSH. They're different, but one isn't better than the other. And I love CXL Steer, and it's no...

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    600 to 900 is an increase of 50%. 300 is 50% of 600. I wonder what's going on over there that has driven costs up by that much. I've heard inflation has been worse around the world than it was in the US, so maybe that's it? It's very steep, especially after the 15% off sale. I'm more glad I...

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Holly told me 100gbp up charge for the custom back, and the discount doesn't extend to customization or leather upgrades. So it'll probably work out to around 10% discount on the total price, and that's not too bad for an extensive, non-standard customization like that. Woulda went for a Type...

    Which leather jacket for motorcycle (preferably brown) ?

    The V7 is great, but it's been sold out in oxblood since about 2018. Oxblood being basically octagon dyed overly long, and they can't source octagon anymore since the tannery that made it burned down and no longer exists.

    is there such a thing as applying too much conditioner and making your leather too soft?

    Yes. Overconditioning can damage the leather.
