    Has anyone heard of Graman Leather?

    Never heard of them. That leather looks like CXL.

    Thoughts on Cotton Fisherman & Nautical Sweaters

    I mean, yeah, I think wool is better for sweaters. I used to have cotton sweaters when I was a kid, and then I grew up and discovered I could wear wool sweaters comfortably, and they were better in every way. But then, there are people who have allergies, and people who just find cotton more...

    Is this Aero worth rescuing?

    Opinions Eastman ELMC California Highway Leather Jacket

    Go for it, they're great jackets.

    What is a pristine Eastman Roadstar worth?

    They're around, what, £1200-1300 new? You can probably get about $900-1000 if it's new, but if you want a quick sale expect it to fetch $600-750. Immediate sale, less than that.

    Debut novel by Ken Calder

    Looks like Humphrey Bogart. Not sure the woman, there were so many beautiful classic era Hollywood stars. Maybe Audrey Hepburn? Shirley McClain?

    Great Leather/LCS repair Dena is AMAZING!!

    She's been in business at least 30 years, maybe closer to 40 by now. Will be sad when she hangs it up one day, because I don't know of anyone else out there like her. I sent her a Cal CHP for a seam repair about a month ago, and she did a nice job of it, but when she sent it back she said she...

    How do forums effect you ?

    I've learned a lot about different mskers, styles, fit, and materials from the forums. I definitely bought a lot of the jackets I own because of what I learned from being here.

    Standard motorcycle leathers, anyone have info about the brand?

    It's hard to find info on them for the same reason it was hard to find info in "High Large" before they changed their name to Fine Creek. I think the jackets look well constructed, and the materials look good. I'm less sure about sizing. But they seem like a good value if they fit well...

    Vanson Octagon Oxford 9D size 40

    Just listed on Ebay. This jacket is minty, and almost certainly one of the last Octagon leather jackets in this kind of condition. Message me here for a discounted off-ebay sale...

    The fine line between worn and shabby. . . Burberry duffle coat

    It's worn out, threadbare, and should be discarded.

    I Got Stuck in My Jacket

    That may be. Almost all of my Aero jackets have Talon zippers. Somehow my vanson jackets that have had Talon hardware haven't had any problems, though. They're beefier and the teeth are more exposed, and I think that explains the difference more than the brand.

    Wearing an AERO HIGHWAYMAN in your actual size

    Out of the many Aero designs I have tried, I've always regarded the Highwayman to the the most basic and standard. It's been referred to as Aero's most popular model, and it seems to be one of the most common to find sold secondhand, which I think bolsters that claim. Getting the fit right...

    I Got Stuck in My Jacket

    My two complaints about Aero are their zippers are not heavy duty enough for their heavier leathers, and no revised Type III trucker with 80s handwarmer pockets for us nostalgic 80s kids. But by far it's their refusal to do anything about the zippers that gets me. They just refuse to...

    Are you sure they're legit? I thought size 44 was already out of stock.

    Thoughts on the Thunder Bay from Aero

    I've been wearing it a lot in the past month since temperatures dipped below freezing. It is good down to at least 10-15F, and probably then some, as long as I have appropriate clothing on under, plus hat and gloves. Collar up in the wind. I like a thermal knit henley and a wool CPO type shirt...
