    Wool lining in a coat/jacket?

    Wool in top of the line lining. I personally love it. Wood is a quality feature in most coast. I live in hot S. Cal weather and wool is my prefer choice. Back on the day, wool was a touch of quality. As jackets production progress wool was only used by the better quality makers. There is...

    Elvis Bike Jacket

    I believe this is a good reproduction of a cycle champ. I have an original and have seen in the flesh the RM repro. However, this is not the jacket Elvis wore on the Enthusiast magazine. I also had two Aeros which are ok but the "d" pocket is all wrong. It is sad and hard to believe Aero did...

    Elvis Bike Jacket

    RMC and Vanson make repros of the old HD patterns. The Vanson is a copy of the cycle king not the cycle champ. I like the vanson repro. To me, the only downfall of the jacket is the hide used. Everything else is very good.

    Fit check: Aero Dustbowl size 42, Cordovan!

    The jacket does not look bad on you. However, I THINK the jacket cut does not suit your body well.

    Cal or Al's and Date

    You are right! in your points. The orientation of the the belt loops are also a simple factor to look at. There are others factors to view but just keep it simple to sleeves ,stitching and belt loops. Lastly, Al's started making jackets in the 80s. If the zippers do not give you a good clue...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Nice jacket. There some wok on the back. But, It is too bad about the belt loop and the zipper hack job. Sleeves, lack the details of this older Cal. At 23" I can rock this thing no problem. Such a nice jacket. Did not get the quality repairs it deserved.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks for the information. The jacket is expensive but some people do like it. I have a HD museum repro made about 20 years ago using the same pattern. I paid about 700 USD I think. Not in the level of craftmanship as your jacket but not bad either. I think it could have been made by...

    AERO's undersized zips

    Very well written. I like Universal because they are well made. Riri is the top producer of zippers in the world. They still produce quality items just like they did in the past. Thedi does include top of the line zippers in their garments. However, I wonder why the rest of the top...

    Rough-In motorcycle jacket

    Look at the 50's sear catalog. Perhaps T can help you out with the year? Very smart for you to replace the one side of the zip. I do have some complete zips. Good luck with your restoration. Finally, this zip job is something YOU can do. No machine needed. If you need help in the...
