    Help dating/identifying this European cafe racer?

    Hello, would love to get some feedback/info on this leather jacket. I believe it’s from 40s-50s era possibly German? Has moleskin lining and an Ultra zipper. Couldn’t find a comparable after searching online for some time. Let me know if you have any knowledge or info. Thanks!

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    We've noticed some confusion about how Aero's fit, and people questioning why they wouldn't always be the same size in each style, why a size 42" for example will vary so much depending on the style. We've put together a little guide to help with this, hopefully this will be of help to some...

    1940/50s German Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Hi there! I have a vintage possibly German leather jacket, most likely from the 40s or 50s, with no brand name. It has a zipper on the left side, but it is a men's jacket.

I'm a large chest with big shoulders, so I realized it would always look too small on me. I'm heartbroken about this, because this is one of the best half belts I've...

    Stetson Brown Heather Mix 3X Fedora Size 7 1/4

    This very attractive Stetson fedora was made between 1957-1960(ish). It is 3X beaver felt in brown heather mix. This hat appears to have never been worn. While the photos give the impression of a derby hat, the crown is actually soft and needing to be formed. There is some wear around the band...
