    Aero Leathers D1 - Fit check size 42

    It’s a lovely D-1 but I find with most there’s a bit too much nap or pile and they have a hard time getting the thickness right. I’ve had an original ( it eventually fell apart) and the nap was way thinner. Could just be compressed from years of wear. Also they tend not to make the collars hang...

    D-1 vs. down jacket warmth

    I have a North Face Nuptse 96 jacket and an Avi Leather D-1. I’d say from a lightness perspectives the NF is better but I find my D-1 is plenty warm. If it’s -30 as it gets here in northern Alberta the NF is the way to go but if it’s a bit milder the D-1 holds up just fine, plus you can layer it...

    AVI Leather seal A-2 Jacket Review (pic heavy)

    I just got a D-1 by Avi. Honestly the quality and accuracy far surpasses my expectations especially for the price point. I’ve had ELC and Real McCoys in the shearling and this is just an excellent jacket. Worked with Avi to get my right size. I was going to go a size up but they suggested I go...

    Aero Board Racer fit question

    I mean deer skin is nice too but wouldn’t want to go down on it if in an accident. I still assume people buy these for bikes but I guess it’s a fashion thing too. What ever suits your needs.

    Aero Board Racer fit question

    Just not a fan. I’ve had some and they’re fine but prefer steer hide or horse hide. Personal preference. Especially since I use them to ride my motorcycle.

    Aero Board Racer fit question

    The engineers and chinos look good too. It’s what I’d wear or some nice selvedge denim but I’m sure you’ve got those as well. Cheers!

    Looks perfect fits just right. Did you break it in a bit or right out of the box?

    My go to leather jackets

    Looking forward to it. There’s a lot on insightful folks on here. I enjoy the banter and advice as well. It seems like a decently run site without a lot on infighting I’ve seen on some.

    My go to leather jackets

    Thanks a lot. I’ll post more pics of some others I’ve attained and fit pics too. I love this site I’ve been looking at it for ages and as I’m a bit of a “fashionista” as my wife says I’ll thought I’d join. Glad I’m in the right place. Also I’m an engineer boot, selvedge denim, 50/40 tshirt guy...

    My go to leather jackets

    Yes you do. Just not sure where to put things in the correct threads. I’ve tried a few ways but having a bit of difficulty. And yes it’s Cordovan CXL. 7lbs. I’ll get a fit pic. Just want to ensure I’m putting them in the correct spot that’s why I randomly posted the thread. Thanks for your...

    My go to leather jackets

    These are my go to leather jackets for fall 2023. I’m a new member and I’m having some difficulty navigating around this site. Any instructions would be helpful. Anyway these two leather jackets have been my favourites so far. Aero 30s 1/2 belt and Eastman A-2 made for Heritage Research back in...
