That is a classic example of a jacket that looks amazing in the photo shoot but would look absolutely ridiculous if you saw me wearing it.

If I was you I would contact either Aero or Carrie asking if they have a batch which is similar to this one (probably difficult to judge for them) and you can for sure choose a wider collar like the one of the Premier HBI always felt the collar was a bit too small.
I was actually thinking about another 50's HB...but in boring black steer, standard cuff, quilted nylon liner and simple back with single point yoke and shoulder gussets. Throat latch and storm cuffs w/ the standard collar. That collar has kind of grown on me a bit.If I was you I would contact either Aero or Carrie asking if they have a batch which is similar to this one (probably difficult to judge for them) and you can for sure choose a wider collar like the one of the Premier HB
Sounds good and I hope that you would like the collar this time (in case you place an order) and I don't think that black steer is not a boring choice - black is still my personal favorite leather jacket color for some reason.I was actually thinking about another 50's HB...but in boring black steer, standard cuff, quilted nylon liner and simple back with single point yoke and shoulder gussets.

Disagree. You pull off the B6 perfectly. That jacket and a black watch cap, you’d nail it. Of course you’d need to be wearing it somewhere it actually got cold.That is a classic example of a jacket that looks amazing in the photo shoot but would look absolutely ridiculous if you saw me wearing it.
Thanks man, I guess I would have to see it to believe it with my own eyes! I think it all gets back to something that you and I have discussed before which is an individual’s level of comfort with any given jacket or style.
I agree on this 100%. When I joined this forum I never thought you would see me wearing something like the Vanson Chopper, it just seemed way too out there and hardcore for me. Fast forward a few years and it’s the jacket I’m wearing in my avatar with a custom one on order from Vanson due to arrive any week now.Comfort can be worked on
Chopper was my first purchase...well second I had a perfecto for a few years before coming here and learning everything else possible. I was an ardent MC Cross Zip guy and still am for the most part. Although from being here suddenly I now have two G-1s. Never wanted them and never pictured myself in that sort of jacket. Im actually selling both of them now because Im simply thinning the herd and selling a ton of stuff. But the original Vietnam era Star Sportwear G-1 I wouldnt mind if that one doesnt sell its quite nice. But yeah all because of this damn place haI agree on this 100%.

Not a clue but I really like them both!Any idea what these jackets are?

I can see the first one as a two tone jacket!Not a clue but I really like them both!
Needs to have a Seabiscuit collar! In fact they all do. It is the only one that closely resembles a healthy 40s shape.
