Hey all, I am going to be in the market for a new black leather jacket and could use some wisdom from this community.
I have been wearing an Aero sheene, made to measure through thurston bros for a year and a half now. It’s made of black vicenza horse hide. Now, I think I got a crazy stiff...
Hello all, I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this. But I am selling my black Vicenza sheene jacket. I got the jacket brand new earlier this year (mid March) and have just not fallen in love with it like I hoped. Unfortunately it is just not meshing with my style. It’s in great...
it is definitely due to my arms flexing/ bending, the jacket had some curve to the sleeve for certain but nothing like this. I think it was impart due to how stuff the jacket was initially. This Vicenza was much stiffer than even the CXL steerhide fit jacket they sent me. It’s much softer and...
I will try conditioning it. But I don’t actually ride, as much as I would love too. But although I have been caught in the rain with this once, the elbows had already begun to do this after the third day of wear.
Hello all, I received my custom aero sheene about a month ago, it fits great (thanks to some awesome advice from everyone here) and is breaking in and becoming very comfortable. My only issue is that the elbows are almost bagged out, I tried looking up this issue and couldn’t find anything...
I actually had them do some custom adjustments to the back panel that will bring in the excess leather on the back and should help some of the leather bunching at the shoulders too. That and Carrie was pretty convinced that because it was too long it was not able to sit correctly and was being...
I was actually thinking the same thing about the shoulders, I think they could stand to be brought it about a quarter inch on both sides and it would look good, as far as body length goes I am looking to bring it up 2 inches in the back and 1.5 inches in the front. Sleeves I’m torn, my jacket...
I think the one thing I’d like is to see if they can bring in the mid back at all, it really puffs out, not sure if that’s going too far into pattern alteration for them or not.
Hello all, I just received my fit jacket. I know Carrie will be able to make recommendations but I figured the wealth of knowledge on here could also help in this process. Overall I like the fit, it’s a little long in the body and sleeves. I’m also getting some bunching up of leather behind my...
This is obviously not at all related to my aero purchase as they don’t offer shinki, but what is it like? I’ve seen so much near mythical praise of it.
That actually sounds very promising, does the jerky have pronounced grain after some wear? I do like the grains of aged CXL and Vicenza, I just don’t like how wrinkly Vicenza can get if that makes sense
