    Which leather...

    Hi, currently saving my pennies for an Aero Royale. Of course I am enjoying the process and I am now at the stage of deciding which leather to go for. It must be a shade of russet and needs to be a mid weight hide. Very much torn between the Goat suede, Vicenza and the new lighter cx horse...

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    I recently contacted Jules (via FL post/member) who specializes in leather repairs/alterations to see if he can do something with my Bill Kelso Aeronaut A-1 in their Liberty HH. Purchased this beautiful jacket a few years back but quickly realized I did not like the Dumbo ear style collar. I...

    New Aero 59'er HWM

    Recieved my new 59'er HWM last week. Opted for the standard soft grainy steerhide (only available in black and selected lighter hides) and the wild card lining. I am very pleased with the quality and craftmanship (womanship in this case as Amy put it together). It really is faultless in it's...

    New jacket leather options...

    Recently traded in my Aero FQHH HWM against a new jacket (The FQHH too much for me these days). Going for a Royale (sucker for patch pockets). Aero only advise their mid weight leathers for this style so I am thinking either their Vicenza, Badallasi or the battered steer. I have no experience of...

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Hi, hope all is well with everyone on the FL. Been a while since I last posted anything. Just a quick question. My favourite hide by some margin is Bill Kelso's Liberty Horse Hide. I already own one of his jackets in this leather but three modifications later have left it far from what I had...

    Update, long awaited BK mod

    This is a follow up to my post back in Feb/March; How long is reasonable to wait for a jacket modification? Well after 9 months and a bit and a few stressed emails from me my jacket arrived mid March( It would be unfair of me if I did not mention Covit/Lockdowns played a big part in the delay)...

    How long is reasonable?

    Hi, just a quick question; How long is reasonable to expect a modification to be made on a jacket and have the jacket returned? The maker is not in the UK. I am getting increasingly frustrated, have sent a few emails that have been replied to with reassurances made in the past. Time has gone by...

    SB Biker Jacket (pics a plenty)

    Received my SB Biker jacket end of last week. I am very pleased with it. Details as follows; Ranger horse hide (Chrome, tanned in Germany). Standard except the Riri zipper. I would describe the hide as mid weight (although jacket feels quite weighty), soft and smooth to the touch. It is not...

    Biker jacket and side buckle adjusters, advice please...

    Ordered an SB classic biker jacket couple of weeks ago. Opted for no belt and asked for the optional side adjusters instead. The final order stated double side adjusters both sides. I asked if this was a functional feature or just for show. I was told it just looked more "bad ass". I accepted...

    Black bike jacket 36" desired

    Hi, I appreciate it's a long shot but I am wanting a motorcycle jacket. Since getting my Harley in the summer ('16) I have been riding wearing a brown A2 jacket. Money being a bit tight I'd rather see what I can pick-up here (ebay so hit and miss I find). I'm after either a café racer or the...

    Diamond Dave (Acme 21996) A2

    Here is my new (to me) DD A2 in Russet cow/steer hide with the "combat clone" finish. Received it this week after bidding for it on the Bay. I am the third owner of this jacket. First owner purchased it March 2015 and wore it only four times and the second owner never wore it at all! I don't...

    New Good wear order

    This idea has been in my head for quite some time now but in a rash moment i put in an order with Good wear for a Star Sportswear A2. Seal brown HH. I am very much open to changing this order depending on what John says. It seemed the Star would be a good choice for my build (slim) plus it has...

    For sals; Bill Kelso Waldo Pepper 36"

    I am selling my beautiful WP in Liberty russet horse hide. Purchased this jacket March this year and have worn it a hand full of times (warm dry days only). It is in new condition, well looked after, hung from a wide hanger in smoke/pet free environment. Ii is a real wrench selling this jacket...

    BK Waldo 6 months later + new friend!....

    Hi Guys, I was asked by another member here to show again my BK Waldo Pepper with the Bronco collar. Not the best pics but best we could do. The jacket has changed quite a bit after 6 months of wear. I have done nothing to the jacket other than wear it. It's definitely darkened quite a bit and...

    Bill kelso Waldo pepper & A1 pics

    Hi, here are some pics of my two BK jackets purchased this year. The Waldo Pepper is a standard 36" in BK's Russet liberty HH. I was not too keen on the original collar so I asked Andy if he could replace it with one more to my liking. Luckily for me he had an Aero Bronco collar hanging around...

    new BK order

    Hi all, feeling quite pleased with myself, just committed myself to buying a new BK A1. Very exciting stuff. I have not actually emailed Andy details of the order yet thought I would ask any A1 owners out there for tips/ideas as to the finer points/details of the order. I have for some time...

    Opions Aero's latest offering

    Hi guys What do you think of Aero's newest offering, a 1950's college jacket in suede? I like the simple design. Looks to be a nice easy wear jacket for the warmer months. I have never owned a suede jacket and wonder how it might wear with time. What about staining? I believe/imagine it to be...

    help with posting pics...please

    Hi I find myself once again in need of help posting pics. My new BK Waldo Pepper arrived this week and I would love to post some pics of it. Last May I tried posting pics of my then new Aero HWM but failed even with a lot of hand holding by members here. Despite that failure I want to try...

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    Hello Loungers I have succumbed to the urge to add to my humble collection of three jackets. I have an agreement with myself that any new jacket I purchase must differ from all the others that I own. My current collection consists of a Highwayman, A2 & an Irvin. This time I fancy some thing...
