simmons bilt

This is not about Aero vs SB who makes better jackets or what’s the history etc. This is about my experience of requesting leather samples - and I’d like to share - I was absolutely astounded by what received from Debs at Simmons Bilt. I emailed Aero for some light color samples - got asked to...

B6 Roughout in a 44..Unreal jacket but just cant pull it off. 800GBP plus postage. Located in UK but willing to ship worldwide as long as postage and insurance is paid by yourself. More pictures will follow folks but currently away from home. Thanks! Scott

Hello! I came here from Reddit. They referred me to The Fedora Lounge, as this seems to be the place where the experts and enthusiasts are. So here's my very first post... I've been searching for my "forever jacket" at age 40, as a future reward for my own weight loss... and unfortunately this...

Hi all, Looking to sell a Simmons Bilt Fortune Hunter jacket. I bought it at the beginning of this year from eBay and although I really like it, I feel it's just a bit too short for me - it's a size 42. The custom aspect(s) of it are the two chest pockets and the fact that it might be made out...

I have bought this jacket from a seller on eBay. When it arrived it smells of washing powder, I contacted the seller about this and he assured me that it has never been in a washing machine and has been dry cleaned. The inside of the collar appears to be a different shade to the rest of the...

Hello Fellows, Compared to my previous Aero B3 and Eastman Roughwear, this one is way warmer due the length of the sheepskin and the strips are so thick that you don't have to worry about them looking so curled up. The jacket is lined with 22mm sheepskin, making it suitable for winter...

FOR SALE Selling my new Simmons Bilt Roadster made of their well known Italian veg tanned horsehide. I wanted a snug fit but have chosen too snug. - standard collar - antique brass hardware - slanted zipped chest pocket left - inside pocket on right side - two hand Warner pockets (no zipper)...

I am selling a brand new - never worn - Simmons Bilt jacket. Sadly it's too large for me, and I cannot return it as I had a front pocket and pocket zippers removed from the standard Detroit model. It also has the back yoke of a Roadster. It's a size 44, Detroit, with some design modifications...

For sale size 40 Simmons Bilt Tailgunner brand new with tags. Bought it directly from SB, but then I committed to another jacket that is a similar style. As you can see, there are no elbow creases or any signs of wear. It is made with black veg-tanned Italian teacore horsehide with Riri zippers...

Hi all. I ordered a semi-custom S-B with my sleeve and body length measurements. My chest is an actual 38” (6’ tall) and they sent me a jacket tagged size 38 but it still seems very roomy. I emailed them 7 days ago but have not received a reply to that or any of the (polite) follow-ups I sent. I...

Hi all! :) I did it! I've ordered my first made to order leather jacket. From SB. And it's amazing! To be continued...

Hi there I have been urged by the Mrs to get rid of some jackets from my collection following the collapse of one of my industrial strength rails due to the shear weight of the jackets. I have tried my best to take the best photos and included measurements. Please feel free to contact me...

Hi All, I sadly do not wear this jacket enough to justify keeping it. It retails for over $1200.00USD (Simmons Bilt prices are their website are in Pounds) through Simmons Bilt with all the upgrades on it (horsehide, double button, etc...etc...). Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/1smPlBY...

Hello everyone ... I will get my first "real" leather jacket. It will be a black cafe racer from simmons bilt. However, I am not sure which leather I should pick. 1. What is our experience with the clayton black horsehide or the clayton vintage black? 2. What do you think about the modena...

Hi everyone, I've lurked on these forums for awhile because they're a great resource. Only now that I have decided to buy a relatively expensive leather jacket have I created an account to ask for some advice. I'm from England, but I happened to be in Scotland last week so I decided to stop by...
