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

    Cafe racer is a great choice in starting your leather jacket collection. Have you looked at the Schott 530 cafe racer?

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

    Thank you. Just be yourself. The jacket shouldn’t change the way you ‘be’ or ‘act’ I learned a long time ago not to give a shit what people say. I would just say “to each their own” and move on. Now, if they became physical first and it became unavoidable then “it’s on!” But I have been...

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

    I was a little apprehensive at first to wear a cross zip but I said screw it. I’m glad I did as it turned out to be one of my favorite leather jackets. I often get a lot of compliments on the jacket and I haven’t experienced any negative looks towards me. Just go for it! You will be glad you...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you. Nice fit! Yes, I did remove the half belt which I know many would disagree with but I didn’t use it and was looking for a clean streamlined look.

    I almost considered taking this Schott 519 out of my rotation but each time I wear it, i fall in love with all over again.

    FS: Schott 519- Size Medium

    I'm lookiong to sale or trade my 519. This is a size Medium in excellent condition. The belt has been professional removed and the sleeves have been shortened to 24". The standard sleeve length from Schott's specs was 25.25. This comes from a smoke free home and has been very well taken care...

    FS: Aero Board Racer, Black, Size 42

    Finally got around to taking some measurements. Please see below: Shoulder to shoulder : 17” Pit to pit: 20” Sleeve: 24.5” With the above measurements, is it safe to say that it fits more like a size 40?

    FS: Aero Board Racer, Black, Size 42

    It pains me to sell this Aero Board Racer. It is by far one of the best leather jackets I have ever owned. Unfortunately, it no longer fits me comfortably across the shoulders as since getting this jacket I started working out and swimming again which has resulted in larger shoulders and a...

    Thank you all for your feedback. I’ve decided to go with the cafe racer and found a killer deal on eBay. Can’t wait to get it.

    Thanks for your feedback. I can definitely see how the cross zip jacket would not be as versatile as the cafe racer with other clothes.

    Thanks. It’s a tough decision. I really like the cross zip but it is edgier than maybe what I am used to and that is causing me some hesitation as I felt it didn’t look good on me or just too edgy on me. I see others with it and think...damn I want a jacket like that. Definitely an...

    Thank you. I know what you mean. I have been also thinking about what would be the best “everything jacket” for my purposes.

    I agree with you about the versatility of the cafe racer. I am really leaning towards it over the cross zip but man, I have really been drawn to the cross zip lately. What kind of message do you normally feel it sends?

    Thanks for your reply. I agree. The sleeves are also a little too long for my taste. Every Schott jacket I tried on, I have this issue. They say is because if you ride a motorcycle and raise your arms to the handles it provides the needed coverage. I would be looking for a leather tailor to...

    What do you guys think of the fit of this Schott 530 cafe racer vs. their 519? I’m thinking the cafe racer is the way for me to go. Thoughts?
