    My Simmons Bilt Klondike in Black Goatskin

    Hi regius, I just snapped some closeup pics of the goat. I'd say it's lightweight, pliable, and tough feeling. Not very thick, which is why I ordered it. I believe it does have a coating, which is why it is a bit shiny now. Breaking in nicely too. I had Debs at SB ship me several samples of...

    My Simmons Bilt Klondike in Black Goatskin

    Thought I'd take some pics and post them before the weather gets too hot. My modified Simmons Bilt Klondike in Black Goatskin ... I took off the chest pocket, opted for a "plain" half belt back, and added zippers to the hand pockets. I originally ordered the sleeves way too long, and had a local...

    Aero "Town" boots w/ Danite Sole ?'s

    I got the Town Boots in Glace Kid a while back and wrote an article on it: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-glace-kid-town-boots.94258/ I mentioned the sizing in the article. They were plenty wide but the length was a bit short for me. If you have Doc Martens, I'd recommend ordering...

    Friendship Leather in Patong, Thailand

    On a recent trip to Patong, I was in search of a shoe repair shop and stumbled upon a place called Friendship Leather. I’ve been to several custom leather shops in Asia (particularly in Indonesia, China, and Thailand), but I thought this particular shop may be of interest to some Loungers. It...

    Goatskin vs Horse Hide

    Here's my Simmons Bilt in Black Goatskin that I got this autumn, worn about 20 times. It had a lot of grain out of the box, is relatively light, and loosens up in just a few minutes. And here's my Aero Seal Vicenza, about 1 year old. The leather has much less grain, feels a bit heavier and...

    Leather Jackets in China : Fabric Markets, Taobao, Vintage, and Custom Leather Shops

    You could shoot Tony an email directly, they speak English: zb_24@126.com You could also install Taobao on your phone, go to the Tony Leather store page, and message the shop directly: I'd just talk to Tony about the fitting/selection process and shipping. Coincidentally, I need to send a...

    A new Aero overcoat?

    Nothing wrong with having a beater that you don't really love for a functional foul-weather jacket! I've got 2 of those hanging in my closet at the moment. I think you made a wise choice going for the second-hand jacket before investing in the real deal. Cheers! And yeah, nice score on $150...

    Leather Jackets in China : Fabric Markets, Taobao, Vintage, and Custom Leather Shops

    Great to hear from a veteran on this thread :) . Looking forward to seeing/hearing about your Tony Leather jacket. I agree that imports are a hassle in China, but sometimes, it's just worth the wait and headache to get them! How many fittings did you need for JP? And what was their turn around...

    A new Aero overcoat?

    I went through basically the same dilemma about 4 months ago ... I had bought an Aero Board Racer, realized it was too slim fitting to layer, and decided I needed a leather jacket that was more relaxed to accomodate some layering. So, here are my 2 cents on your questions... 1.) TALK TO AERO...

    Aero Glace Kid Town Boots

    Actually, I have a correction. I wore these a bit more, and decided it tapers too much at the toe and it's not so comfortable to wear all day. I unfortunately bought a size too small :( . I'll probably end up selling these in the near future. So yeah, wish I'd bought a 1/2 or whole size larger...

    Aero Glace Kid Town Boots

    I was in the market for some nice black boots, so I picked up a pair of the Aero Glace Kid Town Boots. Here they are right out of the box: These boots only come with leather soles, so I took them to my local shoe shop here in China to get half soles glued on. I got the more expensive “good...

    Leather Jackets in China : Fabric Markets, Taobao, Vintage, and Custom Leather Shops

    Thanks for all of that input, 4444 Design :) As much as I'd like to give some of the custom-made jacket shops in China a chance, I think I'm leaning against that decision at the moment. My first custom-leather jacket in China was a disaster too. And my first pair of custom-order shoes (from Ray...
