    Five Star Leather Jackets

    thanks, i just have quite a clear idea of the proportions i want, based on jackets i own. i wear my trousers wider/higher waist than most here so i find a cropped/boxy shape works best for me. the five star pattern seems longer/more tapered from what i've seen, so perhaps they're just not the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    im thinking of ordering the goatskin trucker. the proportions of the small seem like they would work (im generally an M but the consensus seems to be they run big), except i'd want it 5cm shorter. do you guys think the patterning could handle it, or is it going to look oddly truncated...

    Can you darken Brass Talon zipper into antique brass color? How?

    ^thanks i might give that acrylic paint thing a go! i should've specified its not the teeth that bug me, just the tab/pull thing. so a very small surface really

    Can you darken Brass Talon zipper into antique brass color? How?

    i meant the zipper that is on the jacket right now. just a bit wary of messing around and staining the leather! to be clear, i'm not looking for a fake vintage effect as such, more just dulling the brass shine. everything else i wear is silver so the brass hardware triggers my ocd a little. but...

    Can you darken Brass Talon zipper into antique brass color? How?

    bumping this thread, did anyone ever try this? i find the brass zipper on my aero a bit bright. i had the idea i'd get all the hardware swapped out but then realised how much that would cost.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    thanks for the feedback. i don't think there's any singular metric for how casual jackets should fit. in my own view pretty much all mens clothes- suits, jeans, jackets- got way too fitted over the last ten years or so, to the point where its a cliche now. in the 90s things were much less so and...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    not very accessible to me as i live in London, but this collab they did with haven court looks really cool. i like the drapey shape, spread collar and dropped shoulders

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    will aero make a highwayman without the chest pocket? just wondering how far they let you tweak the designs...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    interesting to read this thread, i just got a second hand regular highwayman in fqhh. the fit seems as i'd hoped, short and boxy. haven't really had a chance to assess the comfort yet but it doesn't seem too bad (of course it's already somewhat broken in). anyway based on this, i'm already...
