Aero Cafe Racer in brown oil pull horse hide

[Gancho]

Hi Mexl,

my first two cafe racers have been made from vintage fqhh, that is from the beginning a little bit softer than the fqhh. The oilpull is much softer and a little bit lighter than the fqhh. For me both are fine, the soft oilpull works better with such a trim jacket. If the jacket is trim you have a very small range between still comfortable and unwearable.

If i would order again, I would go for the oilpull.

Regards

Olli

Similar question concerning your different linings

I've read the following information about your linings in your CRs (would be nice if you could add the missing specs):

44 CR
- Tartan lining.
- Have you chosen satin overlay in the sleeves?

42 CR
- Which lining?
- You've got satin overlay in the sleeves.

Current CR
- Gabardine lining
- Have you chosen satin overlay in the sleeves?

Which one do you prefer? If you've not decided for satin overlay in your current CR: Would you add the satin overlay?

Mexl, my first CR had have cotton drill in the sleeves, the current has brown satin overlay in the sleeves. I would go for satin. With satin overlay the slip in is much easier, specially with slimmer sleeves.

And which body lining do you prefer for the cafe racer? Tartan, cotton drill or gabardine?

 

[Gancho]

Since the garbadine is no longer ofered, i would go for a tartan. A black CR with a royal stewart tartan with a black satin overlay in the sleeves looks great. But there are also nice tartan if you prefer a brown CR.

Gancho-
You just look straight up cool in that jacket. It looks like a custom made jacket to me. I really like the trim lines and how it fits. Good job
