Jesus christ that is the best looking jacket ive seen in my life, period. Im getting one of those some day. Heavy steerhide looks so much better than horsehide imo.
Hello again everyone.
For a while now, the idea of making jackets and being able to choose material and such, has been very appealing to me.
There is just one problem, and its how im supposed to begin creating my own sewing patterns. The idea is that i am able to customize everything about the...
Apparently, zippers arent heavy enough for the thick leather, the sewing is poor, and the lining is cheap. Carl Murawski made a video on it, exposing a lot of flaws.
How the he** did you get ahold of this jacket? I suppose they arent produced anymore, i dont know too much about Lee Trevor. I had seen terry mitchell wear an old worn in one full but seeing a new one was very cool. Too bad they dont produce these anymore, its a very cool jacket.
Ive always had i crisis in choosing between a highwayman or bootlegger. On one side, i prefer the model of the bootlegger, but i feel like it just would look to much like a regular motorcycle jacket in a black color. What is your opinions on this? Havent found any pictures on google so im just...
Hmm. I dont recall that. I already have a leather trucker, love it, but I will sooner or later outgrow it. I actually found the Aero pioneer a couple of days ago and it has everything i was missing on the highwayman. Sometime in the future im planning on getting an Aero that i can have...
Damn they all look so good. Still somehow more tempted by the heavy steer, that teacore looks amazing. Not what i expected. I thought the whole jacket would turn brown but i was obviously mistaken. But the FQHH also looks amazing... Does the CXFQHH also show wear quickly?
Well, if i buy one ill definetely ask for their heaviest batch! But ill probably have to contemplate whether i want FQHH or steer, its a hard decision.
Oh thats a bummer! I dont think the vicenza is quite as thick as i would like it :/. The lady at aero must have said wrong then. She said the Heavy steer was about 1.7 and the FQHH was about 1.5. Does Aero offer to make a jacket in a heavier vicenza (in case you know)?
Edit: Vicenza is...
In the future i'm getting an aero, and the one that i feel is the best choice is a highwayman. I typically prefer black jackets, as i wear black boots and dont really like too much wear show, more common in brown shades. Does anyone have any pictures of a black highwayman? Preferably in the...
Also, if you decide to get a levis trucker, be prepared that you have to replace the snaps. They are very low quality which is a bummer. I replaced them and now its an amazing jacket. And i wouldnt worry about the weight of the hide. If you get the one in buffalo leather it will get soft...
I have actually felt a difference between the two, but of course its very small. Also, buffalo is typically spongier than cowhide, which is denser. So a cowhide jacket is typically heavier imo. Of course it varies from hide to hide. The jacket this guy wanted was a buffalo.
Yeah it was bad choice of word on my part. Yes i love thicker hides. I guess for most 1.2 would be substantial, but most people prefer softer leather, as i understand.
