    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    Sometimes we have to push a little to get someone else to do the right thing. Perhaps the initial misunderstanding with Bolt was due to the pattern confusion, but they did the right thing. Unlike some other makers known here who attack the customer for “unrealistic” expectations that the...

    Review of my 2nd THEDI Jacket

    Excellent jacket, mate! The fit is perfect, as is your command of the English language. I am about six months into my new Markos in cuio buffalo and, while it is not really “softening” it sure has conformed to my body and movement patterns. Now it is like a part of me to the point that I...

    Fit Check: Vanson Stadium and Aero Cafe Racer

    Agree that No. 1 is too short in body and sleeve length. Also, there is a lot of extra material there that someone with your fit build does not need. The sleeve diameter just look waaay too big. A great many people like their cafe racers to fit just like yours does. This means it will be...

    Carrie explained to me that Cuio is a lighter tan tone that darkens on the brown spectrum over time whereas the cognac has a slight red orange tint that becomes a bit orange brown as it ages.

    Vanson Fit Check—Royale Enfield

    It looks a touch short in the arms and torso to my tastes. The shoulders look good but it does appear tight in the torso. Are you thinking about a custom order or just whether to go for a 42?

    Fit check on new Aero Maxwell with some mods

    As much as you think the hide marring would bother you in a few years, the lack of mobility will bother you so much that you won’t wear the jacket much at all anyways. I am firmly convinced that these high armhole styles are best suited for wear only with a t-shirt or while actually on a bike...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    Great tip on the book. I have bought several copies when it was sold through Brooks Brothers. A couple of friends and relatives have received anonymously gifted copies in the mail.

    How tight should a leather jacket fit?

    By ”tailored” do you custom or do you mean altering the Shott?? If you go full custom, you are probably looking about $1000 from Johnson. A semi custom Aero cafe racer will be a couple hundred more. Talk to Carrie about getting a test jacket first. The stock size might even be perfect for you...

    I Flew To Scotland to Pick up My Aero Leather Coat in Person

    Nice trip and fabulous jacket. Really like the newsboy cap as well! Hopefully, you will get to wear the snot out of it before our Colorado weather gets too cold. I have a very thin Eddie Bauer down vest that I wear to get another 15 degrees of range.

    Awesome Hektor!!! After having a button up Thedi, I really do not like a zipper front. :-(

    How tight should a leather jacket fit?

    From my limited experience.…. A jacket that is tight and slightly restrictive at first may conform to the point of being bearable at worst and comfortable at best. A jacket that is uncomfortable at first will remain so. A jacket that is comfortable out of the gate is the one you will always...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    When I went through Thurston for my Thedi and asked Carrie for an update, she mentioned that it sometimes takes a long time for even her to get updates from Theo. However, he has a proven track record of delivering even if things may take longer than expected. It does seem as though he is going...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    A little late in posting photos of my first Thed….. I went with the Niko in an XL through Thurston Brothers in Cuio Buffalo. Carrie tweaked the arm length a bit and had Theodoros drop the back length about a half inch to even out the normal sharp front drop. I also modified the design by...

    Aero Jacket Sizing Help

    I have a Seven in a size 44. I wear a 41 regular fit or 42 trim fit suit jacket. Honestly, I probably would have been happier with either one more size up or a different pattern. Mine looks great on but it is still a bit restrictive With anything more than a single layer shirt. I just received...

    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    Worth the 9 months wait! While I only needed minor adjustments to Thedi’s stock XL sizing in this model, by going full custom, I was able to drop the patch pockets that were functionally unusable for me. So, for custom specs…. yes, it’s worth the wait.
