    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Both pics of Salzburg (winter and summer) feature a castle built for psychopathic prince-archbishops at the expense of normal human beings who know how to love, how to feel empathy, and why they should feel guilty when they do something wrong, even if they don't get caught. These cold...

    schott 641HH fit? too tight?

    641's fit on most people over 5"11 that way. The sleeves are usually a touch short. This said, I think that 641 looks fine on you. Even if you ride motorsickles, you can just wear the standard type of gloves that go over your wrists and then some, like most riders these days. If you got...

    Hey guys could use some help! :)

    This is the major downside of buying ancient leather jackets. They look cool, but require maintenance, which can, at times, exceed their coolness. Same thing with "naked" old motorcycles. . . . Great for mods, but a pain in the neck with rebuilds

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    I doubt this guy rides or he wouldn't listen to what his wife says ;). A fairly short jacket length is what one needs on a motorcycle to feel comfortable

    46 Regular Legendary(Schott)Horsehide D-pocket on the Bay Currently $41 US/ Ends 3 Ho

    If you don't have a motorcycle, don't "wish." Know. Get one, even if you only have time to ride one day a year. It's worth it

    46 Regular Legendary(Schott)Horsehide D-pocket on the Bay Currently $41 US/ Ends 3 Ho

    Schott biker jackets tend to have short arms. If you have longer arms, beware. It probably won't fit. However, if you steal it at a good price, who cares? Wear gloves that go up the forearms like most bikers and you'll be good to go

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    Boys who for once dressed for their mothers, often grow up to become men who dress for their wives. Screw the wife. Dress yourself. Literally.

    Cirrus Flying Jacket

    And now for something totally different . . . oh, I thought this was a thread for a "Flying Circus" jacket. My mistake. But if this were indeed such a thread, I might the following fashion suggestion "on the fly" so to speak: --Why not match up a lovely hair shirt with a brand new Palomino...

    A Life in Leather: profile of Aero founder Ken Calder

    I wonder if Craig or DiCaprio gave their jackets to their gardeners to break in first? Ha, probably not. Leave that to aristocratic Lords and their tweed suits. Great article. Nice balance of old and new celebrity name-dropping that Sunday newspaper readers would find interesting ,and meaty...

    Worthwhile Alternative to Aero Leathers???

    If you want horse hide or kudu or steer that develops great patinas and breaks in to eventually look fantastically vintage, choose Aero. If you want a jacket that will look new for a long long time, choose Lost Worlds. There are advantages to both. Most folks on this site, like vintage...

    Horween and other leather companies

    Try riding the subway in NYC after a Yankees game with the train full of drunk fans when the Yankees happen to lose a big game. I've been there, and I could have used a shot of rum in my cola at the time. Better make it a double, Hoosier.
