Yes, I am going off topic but I'd never trade Aero's solid CXL FQHH with that thin shiny shinki thing...

Here my last Vanson (thank you lounger Bobby Schneider!)..a cool, basic Bandit. I truly love this model for the simplicity of it...a neat, functional CHP, no exotic details, no funky pockets, no shiny leather, no drama at all... just a biker's everyday loyal companion. Good ol' piece of leather!

Update: I am in contact with Aero's staff and they are proposing a pick up of my Windward for replacing the zip with an Universal...Let's see how it goes but I am happy about the quick and positive answer from their side: no issues were raised and everybody was very kind and supportive. Surely...

I agree with you...I have become good at repairing the male pin issue but I am still facing the (typical in Aeros) issue of "getting the slider inserted into the male pin" due to the small dimension of the zip and the leather's bulkiness

I get the whole point of style correctness BUT...

Yes, I already changed the slider by myself (Aero kindly sent me a replacement) but it's not enough...I will send the Windward back in Galashiel asking for a zip (bigger) replacement...

I have a small collection of Aeros as I love the brand since 1985 so I am not here to just criticize...I just need to know from more expert loungers what could be their point in placing these small uncomfortable things in lovely bulky and heavy FQHH jackets.... In the good cases it's tricky to...

The Great Dave Aldana was riding in this gem

I have a Thedi customized grizzly with woollen liner so..yes, it is considerabily warmer than a nylon/cotton lined leather jacket... what impacts most im my jacket is the big mouton shawled collar, which gives a very comfy and warm feeling. I'd never wear a Grizzly with a belt because I really...
