I think it's a knee jerk reaction to the 5 Star...Yin Yang sort of thing

Yes, I’ve seen this before but fortunately you always swing back to the heavy side sooner or later.I think it's a knee jerk reaction to the 5 Star...Yin Yang sort of thing

Just delivered, German mc jacket. Probably 50s or 60s. Other German jackets from the era that I've handled all had a very thick topcoat and were therefore very stiff. This one has a modest topcoat and drapes very nicely. Moleskin lining, satin sleeve lining, storm cuffs, beautiful machined belt buckle, ball and chain 'Ruhr' zipper pulls. The Germans really knew how to make a nice mc jacket. Why aren't we seeing more of these here on the lounge?
Too bad it's not my size

I wonder who the maker was of the leather jacket Rainer Werner Fassbinder was so often pictured wearing
Rockafella arrived. A bit ambivalent about size. Not sure what to do. Can’t say it’s Aero’s fault, more of a preference. They adjusted the tag size from my chosen 44 to 42, based on my numbers. But maybe I should have insisted on a 44. It’s a fitted pattern.

Fassbinder must've had a couple different jackets (who's ever heard of that?!), because the one I posted has racing-style quilted shoulder reinforcements without epaulets, whereas the one you posted has standard shoulders, with epaulets.

No, I meant, the one you posted looks a lot like Harro. The other one that I posted, no clue.
The price is right for the Skyfall in lamb. Any idea what the weights are on some of their leathers?

Apparently it sat unsold for a couple of months, I was surprised when it was actually still available.

I snagged what appears to be the basis for Aero’s wayfarer. Needs TLC and a new liner. Couldn’t resist this one. Another bunch of whacky measurements. Fingers crossed.

Just received this mahogany buffalo Thedi. I love the color. Next to the Eastman A1, elmc havana californian and FL brown pony (swatch) you can see it has some nice Burgundy undertones.

Every time I talk myself out of ordering a LW jacket something like this pops up here.
That is one awesome jacket there. Looks super thick and super soft. You gotta tell us more about it when you get it. Get that UPS EXPRESS out today!
