    JL Barneveld Remix Ultra Heavy Black Goatskin jacket Size M 40-42

    Super reluctant to sell this jacket but I have a 3 jacket policy and I’m letting this go for another jacket. Super heavy 4oz plus goatskin - black semi aniline finish - beautiful pebble grain. This is a heavy jacket due to the thick goatskin weighing 3KG. I got this jacket from a fellow...

    Super thick CXL cafe racer - who does the best pattern?

    This is just another crazy idea from my crazy head. Last year a member ordered a 6oz CXL jacket from JL that weighs 10lb. Not aiming to break that record - but thinking of ordering a cafe racer in the same thick CXL. I haven’t decided if this should be rough out - I think a 6oz rough out...

    Car coats - are they out of fashion now?!

    I once owned an aero stockman and an veste de rallye as well. I then ordered a barnstormer with beautiful honey colour shearling. Sadly I decided to sell all three due to not wearing them much. I’ve been wearing a mohair over coat to work for a decade and due to wearing a heavy backpack with...

    What do you think of this Vanson - is it a roughout?

    Saw this on eBay and wonder: 1) if this is a roughout model? 2) the sleeves look longer than 22.8 inch for sure - can it be right size 42 has 22.8 sleeves? Only asking here as the Japanese sellers typically respond by saying ‘sorry we can’t help you as the jacket is already packed in the...

    Roughout cross zip?

    I came up with an idea for ordering from Aero a roughout cross zip. Thinking of either CXLSH or goat. Not sure if aero would dye the suede side black - but I’d be happy with natural suede color. What are you thoughts re a roughout cross zip? I want to avoid the usual type iii and make something...

    Would you alter a really good leather jacket to fit your size

    Let’s say I’m looking at a LW jacket in heavy HH but it’s a size or two bigger for me. Let’s also assume I know of a jacket maker who has spent 30 plus years machining leather jackets. Let’s say the cost for buying the larger size jacket plus and alteration cost is like 60% of a new jacket by...

    What does a fully broken in CXL jacket feel like?

    So I wore my aero CXL King of The Road jacket for 5 straight days while on holiday - sweaty Eurostar waiting area, sunny Paris daytime, chilly Paris night, etc, plus carrying a huge backpack and constantly picking up children. Each night I wiped it with a wet towel and let it stand to air dry...

    Guys what do you think is the Ultimate Bad Ass Jacket - UBAJ? I’ll make a start - it’s a thick black CXL HH double rider! And of course it’s a jacket I don’t own yet !!

    Riri vs Crown zipper

    Could someone help me understand what are the key functional differences between Riri and Crown zippers? My understanding is both are very robust - but Crown is significantly more expensive.

    I wore one jacket for the whole winter!

    Rain or shine I’ve been wearing just one (of 3 I own) for this whole winter! My other winter jacket was sent to a jacket maker to have a mouton collar made - sent it in Nov and hopefully get it done this month at last. I’ve been off this forum and stopped browsing classified for 4 weeks as...

    Heaviest military wool coat recommendation

    So for a change I’m not asking questions on leather jackets! I’m a sick of the cold rainy weather in London - for work, I wear a Paul Smith mohair overcoat everyday - with a big backpack on it (yes I know it’s not good for the coat.). I’ve been doing this for over a decade and this nice coat is...

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    I wonder if some of you have owned both LW and Aero ANJ4 - and if so what are your comments on build quality, thickness, weight and wearability? Not asking about warmth as I’m sure either would be more than warm enough! I hesitated a long time about a sheepskin jacket but in the end decided...

    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    I caught a cold and didn’t want to pass onto others in the house - so last night I decided to sleep in the living room on a mattress. I thought what an excellent opportunity to sleep in my new jacket to help break in!! So after a hot bath I slipped into my cold, stiff and heavy armory aero...

    What’s your best hanger for leather jackets?

    Earlier in the year when I made a decision to get back into leather jackets - first thing I did was buying 3 of these delux cedar wood hangers! They were sold in UK by an Amazon retailer Hanger World, but when I checked today I could no longer find them. I did find the identical one on a US shop...

    Removable mouton collar construction

    Hi guys I’m about to commission a removable mouton collar for a straight zip with medium size collar. I previously thought about replicating the construction of Shangri-La collar, as in pics attached. I do recognize two short falls with this construction: 1) there are only 3 points to fix...

    Vanson Enfield HH - fit and collar fold line

    Thanks to a fellow lounger in Taiwan - this heavyweight Vanson Enfield in HH arrived today. It’s size 42 so too big for me (40), but I knew this when buying it and plan to layer thick jumpers underneath this jacket when it gets really cold. Plan to get a mouton collar made for it as well. I put...

    Worlds heaviest denim shorts - Soso 33oz cut off shorts!

    Some like it thick n heavy! Ever since I got a Samurai Jeans monster belt earlier this year - I’ve been wanting to buy a pair of heavy denim shorts to go with it. And yes I’m a shorts person for temps higher than 18 Celsius and I pair shorts with heavy HH MC jackets ;) The heaviest I could...

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    I’m seeing so many new and near new aero jackets on sale here and on eBay - beautiful HH or SH only just started being broken in. So I can wonder why?? If it’s a used jacket I can understand fit can be off either due to it was tailored for someone else before, or owner physique has changed...
