    New Johnson Leather custom

    Hard to say because it was custom to begin with. Everything I read advises against trying to do steep alterations on store-bought leather jackets to do big waist measurement changes, it's always better to find a jacket maker to do it from scratch. I've only lucked into one store bought jacket...

    The Cafe Racer/Motorcycle Jacket Thread

    Wow, what is the drop on that jacket? I have a 42" chest and 32" waist, custom is the only way I can get a good fit. Looks like that one might work! Super nice jacket.

    how many jackets are too many jacket

    Not being a collector and living in a warmer climate, I think I would be fine with only two or three jackets. One brown, one black, and possibly a tan, all in slightly different styles. I want all of my leather jackets to be "signature" pieces, meaning completely broken in from continuous...

    New Johnson Leather custom

    The jacket weighs 5.5lb / 2.5kg I inherited my father's barrel chest and have been consistent in the gym for over 20 years. Great for looking fit, not so great for getting nice clothes that actually fit. Please don't let my sizing experience with Johnson turn anyone away from giving them a...

    New Johnson Leather custom

    Thanks guys! Buler, your thread was a big help and ultimately what pointed me towards Johnson. I downloaded your photos to my phone and took them to the shop as an example of how I wanted the jacket to fit. I'll get a weight on the jacket later today. Chi Town - Alan at Johnson told me that...

    New Johnson Leather custom

    After pouring through MANY great posts here on FL, I took a simple thought of needing a new leather jacket and turned it into an awesome custom piece tailored to my measurements and specifications. I thought long and hard about Aero, but my need for a jacket in time for winter (two months) and...

    How can you tell if a leather jacket is well made?

    You should add Johnson Leather in San Francisco to your short list. In addition to being a well regarded & high quality leather jacket maker, their prices tend to be about 20-30% cheaper than the others you have mentioned. They will also do custom work for a just bit more money than their...

    Boots for brown and black Aero jackets

    I'll second RM Williams. Fantastic boots at a really good price. The Craftsman model is really versatile and looks great with jeans or a suit.

    Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

    New color combo and font sizes are more difficult to read, definitely a step backward for me. I used to be able to easily browse the site on my smart phone, with the new change that isn't an option anymore. Suggestions - increase the font size for post listings on the individual forum home...

    Vanson Horsehide Enfield

    Wow, those creases make the jacket look like it was covered with brown aluminum foil. The fit looks good. I wonder if a bit of use and break-in will tone down the wrinkles a bit?

    Jeans

    Can one also achieve the fashionable creases in bed sheets by not washing them? I can't imagine a well worn six month old pair of unwashed jeans smelling too good. That's a lot of sweat and dirt to be absorbed at street level.

    Langlitz Leathers' Butterscotch Goat

    I'm liking the black liner, it makes a nice contrast to the leather.
