Have to admit, after discovering the brand (Aero) here, and finally picking up a used but like new Ridley, I was very upset at the terrible zipper, frustrated at how difficult it was to find a place to replace the main zipper, and then the additional cost of the zipper replacement in order to...

I really do like that Brooks. I also sewed some patches inside the zip sleeve, just to make them 'mine'

I almost didn't bid because of that seam, but now I'm glad I did, really like the Tunstall.

I've been on a ridiculous leather jacket buying binge (10 in the past 2-3 months, thanks a lot TFL). One thing I have meant to ask in a new thread, was if there is a cross zip that fits like a cafe racer, and I think I've stumbled on one. I also got around to taking a few pics, for reference...

Wow. If the sleeves were longer, I'd be all over this. I love this jacket.

Khilij, that's beautiful!

I grabbed this one cheap because that one collar point is PERFECT, and if I can figure out how to get the flat side to match (and if it fits!) I'll be happy. What should I expect with vintage Cooper? And I pulled the trigger on this one when a coupon code popped up, but then disappeared when...

Thanks!

These are cool, I guess I never realized they existed. Can you post a pic of the inside of a belt with studs/jewels? (Trying to see how they're attached.) Is there a source for the jewels and studs if I wanted to try my hand at making my own?

Shearling lined Acme harness boots that my father got new in the early-mid 70's. Worn in just right and still warm.
