Thanks for the comments, everyone. I'm sort of in agreement that the sleeves are a tad too long (maybe a cm?), but quite happy with the rest of the fit. I'm loathe to have it shortened as that's resulted in horror stories from me before, so are there any options re. goat? I'm hoping the sleeves...

Hi all, I've traded in one of my older jackets for an Aero Sunburst in dark russet goatskin. Its a stock "model" jacket that was apparently in their showroom for years and was sold on discount. I've had Aero's FQHH before, but my preference now is towards goatskin as its much more comfortable...

Its from the image host. Are the pictures showing?

Hi all, I purchased this jacket extremely cheap from a garage sale. The seller says he does not have any information regarding the jacket, as he only used it once for a photo shoot and then was stored for a long time (note the horizontal crease, which I suspect came from folding, which I don't...

Thanks! I can get it from Tokopedia.

This has promise. Any idea where to get this in Indonesia?

I tried the HWT on the collar area, it certainly lightened up some, but there was still some bleeding. I think the dye is coming internally from the leather itself and not just the topcoat. I just had an idea. A "nuclear option" if you will. Perhaps it would be possible to replace all the...

I live in Indonesia. It is indeed very hot and humid.

I have a beautiful FQHH Highwayman in cordovan, which is one of my favorite jackets. It was a custom order mid-2017. I've worn it most of the time, and I've finally gotten it almost to the "soft and buttery" stage. The one issue is regarding cordovan bleed, which if anything, has actually...

Oh, so you're based in Indonesia too? Yeah, I've sometimes had creatures make a surprise home in my clothes (but never in my jacket, thankfully).

Air conditioning :D It gets mighty cold in some places. Also, nights and rainy days.

I stick my FQHH Highwayman on a wide wooden hanger in my car. I find that where I am (Indonesia), the extra heat goes a long way towards breaking in a jacket evenly, especially in long parks in a hot parking lot. When I wear it, its almost as soft and flexible as my mid-weight goat. At home, I...
