Would soaking in a tub with the proper wool detergents get a similar result without he risk of tearing from a drum washer?

What an incredible job, would anyone be able to tell that this wasnt an original jacket if you hadnt told us?

The fleece and skin looks too much like a What Price Glory jacket for my liking. While I applaud Aero for attempting to improve their products, it still doesnt hold a candle to the ELC or Aces High Irvins. IMHO of course.

How long till we see the ELC repro ww2 issue condoms? "Avoid VD in style with our meticulously researched, stitch for stitch repro of GI issued prophylactics! Enjoy your leave the WW2 way!" :lol:

Its the repro we've all been waiting for, a stitch for stitch, 100% accurate copy of......the white T-shirt! Man oh man, I can't wait to shell out 40 gbp for that sweet thing. http://www.eastmanleather.com/product_i ... cts_id=288

More British Cycle Leathers cafe racers!

Not necessarily. The cost to buy or replicate these new repro Talons could be the same or more than what ELC paid for the NOS zips originally.

Love that goatskin, looks just like my old elc Cable. Keep up the good work!

I use quicksnipe.com, they did start charging a fee several months ago but its minuscule. I'm very happy with it.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Saddlery A-2. My first vintage jacket.

no bike for me right now, though I'd love to get an old Norton or Triumph in the future

Hallejuah! The closet has been bereft of leather for too long, but no longer. I picked up a beautiful 60s brown British Cycle Leathers cafe racer. I had a black one last year but it ended up being too large. This ones made of thicker and heavier leather than I've usually seen with these jackets...

No surprise there. The hat place goes into full emergency lockdown mode if someone forgets to say please and thank you at the end of a post :roll:

Irvin. simply a classic, versatile design. Currently Irvin-less but when I can drum up the cash I'll be going for one of Jons fantastic looking late-war jackets, loving that multi-panel look.

I somehow missed this awful news over the past week, absolutely shocking. David will be greatly missed.
