    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Buying an Aero again after having experienced the wearing comfort of a JL is no less than masochistic. Not having to wear a 6 lbs jacket on your neck is a relevation.

    Fit check: 25" length vs 26" length on a 6'2" guy.

    I like the look of the first two shorter ones better.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Jacket looks great. Leather is a natural product, it is very possible that there is some variation in thickness but it is plenty thick regardless and will last forever. Creases will never look identical regardless of leather thickness, dont worry about that.

    Aero Premiere 1930s Half Belt Russet Badalassi- SQUEAKING

    From my experience, though I have none with Badalassi, new jackets stop squeaking eventually, just wear it and it should get better.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Temperatures cooled down, so thick merino sweater and the slightly longer and wider Vanson Enfield to accomodate that extra layer for the night out.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    There‘s nothing like velvet soft yet incredibly thick leather, I love the break-in process just for the sake of getting there. Thick sleeve creases, the heft and yet soft to the hand. Not quite there yet with this one, sleeves are well broken-in but the body is still quite stiff, especially the...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Working on further breaking in this Horween Steerhide JL jacket that was very generously passed to me by Canuck Panda. I tried to capture color and sleeve creases on picture 2 but it proves impossible with that 8 year old phone camera of mine. While it looks grey on pictures, it is in fact a...

    BESOIN D'AIDE LOST WORLDS LEATHER POUR LA MOTO!

    Based on your pictures, I am very sure you dont need a size 44, size 42 will be fine, maybe even a size 40 if its sized more generously.

    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    For 500 USD the only place to go is overseas. However I would advice you to save up 1k and have it done in the US at Johnson Leather SF. They rebuilt my fathers vintage Belstaff jacket, maintaining the original pattern while also sizing it down and they did a terrific job.

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    Johnsons patterns are great, especially the older biker patterns, but even the new ones still are better than Aeros. The jacket will need ages to soften up due to the nature of Horweens stuffed waxes and the thickness of the hide, be prepared for a long process but pwrsonally, the break-in...

    The leather looks great. Appears to have nice hand and heft.

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    At 6 oz I would settle for something pliable such as Johnson Leathers bison. I currently try to break in a 4 oz Horween Steerhide and wouldnt want it any thicker, I dont see 6 oz steer- or horsehide ever being comfortable to wear and actually mold to your body. Its going to be a cardboard box...

    Fit Check: Schott x 3Sixteen Perfecto 2020

    It fits you well and I love the worn in cxl horsehide. This is as good as it gets off the rack if this is the style you are looking for. Personally, I have grown to like my sporty jackets shorter in the back with some front drop. E.g. your jacket is just perfect in the front for my taste but...

    New Year Resolution about leather jackets hobby

    My plan for this spring is to break in the JL horween petrol steerhide jacket you passed on to me. It was too cold for leather the past months but temperatures are milder now, I already started wearing it at home, first creases on the sleeves are appearing.. but this may be the toughest to break...
