No feedback on Bates? They're about 40 minutes from Venice where I'm now staying and I could go in and get measured in person. My search on here produced one gentleman's custom piece but for a well known company, there's not a lot of chat on here about them. Anyone? Buehler uh Bates?

My two cents, I dealt with both Johnson Leathers and Aero and both were great. That said, JL were truly excellent and went over and above with their service (I dealt with Alan over the phone and via email). Unfortunately it didn't result in a jacket at the end as I was ***shy about spending that much on a jacket that might not fit meright so in the end I chickened out and went with an option that I could at least try on first. BUT when the time comes when the money is there and I can spend it without a guilty conscience, you can bet I will go back to Johnson Leathers.
