    Selling: Custom Aero in Vincenza Horsehide - Sz. 42?

    The jacket at the waste is around 20.5”. I’m around 5’10” and 190lbs so you can see how it fits on me. I think I have a slightly longer torso and shorter legs (29” inseam) so hopefully that helps.

    Selling: Custom Aero in Vincenza Horsehide - Sz. 42?

    FWIW I measured the arm straight from shoulder to cuff (see pic). There's a bend in the arm from wear over time so if I follow the outer curve of the sleeve it would measure 24".

    Selling: Custom Aero in Vincenza Horsehide - Sz. 42?

    Thanks for the question. I literally just started making jackets (that was my second jacket) and although I've been working with leather for years I haven't gotten into making jackets till recently. I really don't know how to do patterns and sizing and all that yet so I don't think I would be...

    Selling: Custom Aero in Vincenza Horsehide - Sz. 42?

    $600 Selling a custom Aero Vicenza Horsehide jacket ordered a few years back from Thurston brothers. This was purchased a few years back with the help of Carrie from Thurston bros. I don't remember what the base model was for this jacket (Board Racer maybe?). The measurements are roughly: Pit...

    $500 + shipping (if applicable). For sale is my fairly new Mister Freedom Campus Jacket. It has been worn for a few weeks. In fairly new condition but does have some minor scratches and some blueing around the cuffs and hem from my jeans. The color on the leather is also still fairly new but...

    Price differences between different hides

    Lambskin is not necessarily cheaper than horse or cowhide. A lot of it has to do with the quality of the raw skin and the processing done to the skin. Vegetable tan vs. Chrome tan also doesn't necessarily equate into a huge price difference. I don't work much with lambskin I've purchased chrome...

    CXL black overdyed steer?

    I asked Johnson leathers about the overdye and according to Alan, they get Horween to do the overdye just for them. Not sure how true that is but I've not seen that particular leather anywhere else. It's interesting that it's CXL because in general Chrome Excel refers to a pull up leather (the...

    New Custom Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    Yeah, Alan is kinda like the front man of the operation (I think he's a partner as well). He's the one that's really good with customer relations and just an all around good guy to talk to. Johnson's a nice guy but customer interaction's not really his strength. When I found out about their...

    New Custom Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    The nice thing about the way they work is that it's not really a risk trying something like this out. They used a cheap piece of leather to mock up the collar on the jacket and had me try it on. If I didn't like it, they would have just put on the regular collar. In this sense, getting a custom...

    New Custom Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    Hello all, I recently purchased a new custom leather jacket from Johnson Leathers in San Francisco and I would like to share my experiences. I've purchased jackets now from Himel leather, Aero, and now Johnson so I've had experience with working with each of these places. Each has their pros...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    I own a custom board racer in the seal Vicenza horsehide. Very nice leather. I owned a Himel Heron in dark brown Shinki horsehide. Both are nice leather but I think I like the way this one is aging a bit better. The finish is more matte and fading is more uniform vs the Shinki (but could be...

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Hi Carrie et al, Do you guys recommend using Pecard leather dressing on the Vicenza horse hide? I'm thinking whether I should try putting some dressing on my jacket. If so, is there a method you guys recommend? Andrew
