    Help finding new leather jacket

    Hey all, I am going to be in the market for a new black leather jacket and could use some wisdom from this community. I have been wearing an Aero sheene, made to measure through thurston bros for a year and a half now. It’s made of black vicenza horse hide. Now, I think I got a crazy stiff...

    Selling black Vicenza Aero Sheene jacket

    Hello all, I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this. But I am selling my black Vicenza sheene jacket. I got the jacket brand new earlier this year (mid March) and have just not fallen in love with it like I hoped. Unfortunately it is just not meshing with my style. It’s in great...

    Aero sheene black Vicenza elbow stretching

    it is definitely due to my arms flexing/ bending, the jacket had some curve to the sleeve for certain but nothing like this. I think it was impart due to how stuff the jacket was initially. This Vicenza was much stiffer than even the CXL steerhide fit jacket they sent me. It’s much softer and...

    Aero sheene black Vicenza elbow stretching

    I will try conditioning it. But I don’t actually ride, as much as I would love too. But although I have been caught in the rain with this once, the elbows had already begun to do this after the third day of wear.

    Aero sheene black Vicenza elbow stretching

    Hello all, I received my custom aero sheene about a month ago, it fits great (thanks to some awesome advice from everyone here) and is breaking in and becoming very comfortable. My only issue is that the elbows are almost bagged out, I tried looking up this issue and couldn’t find anything...

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    I actually had them do some custom adjustments to the back panel that will bring in the excess leather on the back and should help some of the leather bunching at the shoulders too. That and Carrie was pretty convinced that because it was too long it was not able to sit correctly and was being...

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    I was actually thinking the same thing about the shoulders, I think they could stand to be brought it about a quarter inch on both sides and it would look good, as far as body length goes I am looking to bring it up 2 inches in the back and 1.5 inches in the front. Sleeves I’m torn, my jacket...

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    I didn’t even think about the fact that it sitting on my hips is causing that puffing. That may be my answer

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    I think the one thing I’d like is to see if they can bring in the mid back at all, it really puffs out, not sure if that’s going too far into pattern alteration for them or not.

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    Hello all, I just received my fit jacket. I know Carrie will be able to make recommendations but I figured the wealth of knowledge on here could also help in this process. Overall I like the fit, it’s a little long in the body and sleeves. I’m also getting some bunching up of leather behind my...

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    How long have you had your black Vic jacket? It looks great and doesn’t look like it’s wrinkled, I like some grain but not when it’s wrinkles

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    This is obviously not at all related to my aero purchase as they don’t offer shinki, but what is it like? I’ve seen so much near mythical praise of it.

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    No don’t apologize, this helps a lot, being able to visualize this stuff is great. Do you notice any difference between BB Vic and black Vic?

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    That actually sounds very promising, does the jerky have pronounced grain after some wear? I do like the grains of aged CXL and Vicenza, I just don’t like how wrinkly Vicenza can get if that makes sense

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    I suppose this shows how little I know about this stuff still. Not a lot of practical experience with leathers, more so just what I read.

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    That answer my question perfectly. Leathers that done drape we’ll scare me a bit due to my build. I’m 5’7” and I workout a lot, 165 pounds, 42 inch chest and 32 inch waist, if things don’t drape they tend to be really really boxy and unflattering on me.

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    This made me laugh, but it is so true, it is not good marketing. I can’t find aged pictures anywhere either so it makes it really difficult for me to want to pull the trigger on it, or even consider it.

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    So as far as Jerky HH is concerned, does it form to your body well? Or does it remain stiff like CXLHH? I have also not been able to find a nice aged jerky HH picture in here or really anywhere, I’d be interested to see how it ages! I also have been considering that a sheene in brown CXLSH may...

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    Thank you all for your feedback, cxl does seem like a decent option, the only thing that worries me is how fast it shows through with the brown when you get it in black. But realistically how fast does that even happen? I think if the squeak is going to stay I may steer clear of badalassi even...

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    Hello all, this is my first time posting. I’ve been fiendishly reading through posts on here for awhile now in regards to a custom leather jacket from Aero. I have placed my down payment and currently have a sheene fit jacket on its way. I have been very torn by what leather I want to choose...
