    Aero Cafe Racer Arrives!

    Nice back. Really like that back style that Insurrection began doing with Aero years ago! Seems that most now either go with this back or a back with no gussets, either of which is probably a good move. I second the "How is the fit?" motion.

    Product advice for a new Aero HH jacket

    I'd just wear it and let it break in naturally. Horween FQHH softens up with your body heat alone (not sure why!) ...LOL...

    Best Method for Getting a Great Aero Fit...

    The Harris Tweed is a checked wool, which is quite nice! Sounds like a lot of folks are using this very cool fit method!

    Seeking a vintage motorcycle jacket with modern safety

    I'm not a fan of armor for the street, but a friend of mine insisted on getting armor after a few tumbles...he had gotten his earlier moto jackets at Insurrection in Seattle and they recommended purchasing a Forcefield armor shirt and then getting fitted to a jacket in the store. He ended up in...

    What's wrong with cherry FQHH?

    The cherry is pretty cool, but reminds me a bit of those 1970s car coats, which were always pretty questionable (you can always find them at thrift stores). If you're going to pay the money for FQHH, my 2 cents is to go with something classic...

    Input on Aero Café Racer order

    If you already have a PLU-3, why not just work with Insurrection on the jacket. You've obviously worked with them before and they'll know a lot better than any of us, or Aero for that matter, how the PLU-3 sizing is compared to the Aero Cafe' Racer sizing.

    Insurrection Still Will Carry the Aero Brand...

    H-- As Wade explained it to me today, it doesn't seem to be a production issue with either Horween or Aero Scotland, it's the supply of horsehide that's coming up short. I don't know the details, but Wade assured me that Aero has it all under control and will be stocked up with horsehide by...

    Insurrection Still Will Carry the Aero Brand...

    I found out today that my jacket is one of the remaining orders that Insurrection is pushing through. Wade, Carrie, and Sally have been nothing but helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. I'd recommend Insurrection to anyone who is interested in Aero garments and residing...

    Chris Brown wears "modern" A2 at Grammys

    I don't post on here very often anymore, but check out Dierks Bentley sporting a great vintage cafe' racer at the Grammys. I've bought more than a few of these from Insurrection in my neck of the woods... Dierks and I must have the same stylist... ; - )

    Cafe Racer jacket advice sought!

    Welcome! You should give Insurrection a ring, since they stock an Aero cafe racer that is almost exactly what you are contemplating. They also have other brands like Vanson and Schott that you might be interested in. Good luck!

    This Cafe' Racer is kinda Great!!!

    Pretty much all of Insurrection's motorcycle jackets are very slim-fitting. Like I said earlier in this thread, this Brimaco reproduction is along those lines as well, which will probably mean I'm out $400.00. Over the past few years, I've spent a lot of money at Insurrection, but never once...
