This jacket needs little introduction, so I'll be brief:
Purchased new from an Eastman pop-up shop in London just before the world shut down. I've had three (don't judge me) ELMC Californians -- including a Walnut version I sold to a TFL member some time ago (a certain distinguished Aussie who...
Something you won't see everyday:
Aero Trucker in Battered Steerhide - some know this hide as "Shackleton Leather" because Aero first brought it to the marketplace in their Shackleton vest. Its a wonderful midweight hide, but far softer and more comfortable that any other Aero midweight hide...
Up for grabs is a new with tags Schott Varsity Jacket. Size 38. This is a Made in the USA model.
24 ounce melton wool body in olive with black cowhide sleeves. Superb trim fit. Measurements:

Back length: 26" from collar seam to...
I need to pick a thread color for a new jacket. The leather is dark brown (the battered steerhide), and I'm considering contrast stitching. Was going to go with cream, but that might be too much contrast.
Carrie @ Thurston said they have a gold thread, but they haven't seen it done on a...
Finalizing an order for a Type 3, and I'm struggling with leather choice. I have it narrowed down to 3 hides:
1. Battered tan HH. Love the color variation. A bit worried the color won't be that versatile, and that it is too "busy" for a Type 3 since the style already has a lot going on.
2...
JW Hulme Moto Wallet in American Heritage leather. Brand new. Received as a gift, but its just not my style.
$89, and I will pick up the PayPal fee. Free shipping in the lower 48 states. Others pay actual shipping cost.

Vanson Stormer Jacket in Olive waxed cotton. Size medium. Brand new, never worn. I purchased this directly from Vanson. I will include a new tin of Martexin wax with the jacket.
Please note that I had Vanson omit the arm patch that normally comes on this jacket - just not my thing.

SOLD. Thanks ProteinNerd.
I have Californian for sale on the bay. Link is below. The jacket is basically new - I just tried it on a bunch of times hoping that it would magically fit better one day. No such luck.
I have it priced at $889 on eBay. For a TFL transaction, I would do $789...
Got a new jacket in the mail, and was hoping for some feedback from you fine folks. PLEASE do NOT pull any punches -- tell me what you honestly think. No sugar-coating.
SOLD. Thanks, Mat.
$575 shipped CONUS, via Paypal gift.
Aero Cafe' Racer in size 38 -- please see measurements below. It's made with Full Grain Chromexcel Steerhide, and lined with a Lochcarron lightweight wool tartan (the tartan pattern is called Tweedside). This jacket was constructed in...
SOLD. Thanks, Gregor.
Up for sale is a Diamond Dave (Diamond Clothing Co.) Buco J100 in 3 oz veg.-tanned Horween horsehide. This was based on a size 40, with some tweaks.
The jacket is beautiful. Phenomenal grain, soft and supple leather, but still very substantial -- heavier than Aero...
I have or have had a number of cafe racers, and haven't found "the one." I have jackets I ride in, but I'm looking for something currently that will only be casual wear. For reference:
Aero Sonoma racer - too large in the upper back, don't like the way the shoulder gussets make the upper back...
Seal Vicenza racer is now sold (thanks, John). Black CXL Steerhide jacket still available.
Howdy all,
Time to move a couple Aero café racers on to a new home -- they just didn't work out for me. Both are marked size 38, and were both purchased in the last 10 months. eBay links are below...
I have been looking for a waxed cotton riding jacket for a long time. Well, in reality, I've been looking for something to wear on the bike from time to time that isn't leather, especially in cooler weather. I like the look and features of the Spidi Worker Wax jacket and am thinking of picking...
I've been interested in a Type 3 trucker style jacket from Aero for a while now, but just haven't pulled the trigger because I didn't really see a leather that called out to me for use in that jacket. Well, I just placed an order last night for a new Board Racer (seal horse), and in connection...
Looking for a new jacket, and I'm considering both the ELMC Californian and the Good Wear California Ventura. I've got a couple Aeros, a J100 from Diamond Dave, etc., but never had an Eastman or a Good Wear. I hear that Mr. Chapman at Good Wear is an obsessive freak (in a good way) who builds...
I noticed that Aero offers a Kangaroo hide (see the later pictures of the Wayfarer on the Aero site). Does anyone have any experience with that hide? Weight? Wear-ability? Grain structure? Difficulty of break-in?
I have used kangaroo baseball gloves, and they were extremely durable, soft...
So what is the deal with Lost Worlds these days? I know that the guy who runs the joint (is his name Stu?) is somewhat of a -- shall we say, interesting character. I've gone through his rants on his site, and read a bunch of stuff posted around here, and it is a bit offputting, especially if...
