    Hey guys! I recently bought an unworn jacket on eBay (according to the seller), a 618HH (horsehide). Yet I found a few scratches and scuff marks. Are these normal on a supposadely new jacket? Is the top layer of leather supposed to come off like that when scratched? It looks like a small piece...

    Cooper blue label G-1 fit question

    I've come across a Cooper G-1 blue label jacket, size 46R, online but cannot get the seller to measure it. It's at a very low price, and I've long wanted a good G-1, but I have no idea how this would fit, nor do I know its vintage. I know that G-1s, A-2s, etc. are all over the map when it...

    Hello all, I'm extremely new to leather jackets. I've just ordered my first(https://www.schottnyc.com/products/express-mens-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm#tab-overview), the Schott 508. My understanding is that it is a Wax based, pull up leather. I understand what all of that means in the...

    Weintraub Bros. L2-A

    Hi, everyone. After researching these on the Lounge, I took a chance on this jacket on eBay and it turned out to be too big for me. I was pretty disappointed, but it’s your gain! Weintraub Bros. L2-A flight jacket size Large. Made in USA. I would say it’s closer to an Airforce Blue than a dark...

    New Aero Leather August

    I think I mentioned before that I had an Aero A1 in Seal Vicenza being altered currently. I decided that since I already had a perfect A2 in Seal Vicenza and a Rockafella in the works in Blackened Brown for me, I don’t really need the A1. Instead I told Aero they could keep the A1 and I picked...

    Russet Horsehide US Authentic A-2, 42R

    After some hesitation, I’ve decided to move along this US Authentic A-2. For a long time this jacket was a favorite of mine and a regular wearer - but of late I’ve been favoring wearing different non-A2 styles, so it just sits in a closet and should have a new home. Here are the Details…...
