    Schott leather jacket sizing

    I'm looking at the Schott 135 leather jacket. The jacket is described as a full cut. I have a 43" chest with a shirt on. I take an Aero Highwayman in a size 42. Should I go for a 42 in the Schott or a 44? Thanks

    Opinions on this heavy black cowhide leather jacket...

    Distressed stitching with zip sleeves and zip pockets. $375. I like this jacket but I am 39 years old and wonder if it may look too youthful or trendy for me. I would wear it mostly with jeans on weekends. Will this look silly on me now or maybe 10 years from now? Uploaded with...

    Do all leather jackets distress the same?

    Artificially breaking in an Aero FQHH jacket...

    So I have this "air fluff" feature on my dryer which does not utilize any heat whatsoever.

    Some questions before I buy a black and brown Aero jacket............................

    I just have some questions before I place an order for 2 Aero leather jackets: 1) I definitely want a Cheyenne. What would be a good second choice that is a similar style? I like my jackets dressy, conservative, and long so the Highwayman is out of the question. Or should I reconsider? 2)...
