Aero leathers is in Scotland. They have some cool cordovan jackets. Brown or burgundy?

 

[Journeyman]

Brown would certainly be my preference.

Get the premier range 1920's work coat tumbled brown horsehide with brown lining. Better to be pretend to be a worker than a biker.

Brown. Cafe Racer heavy horshide leather jacket - Aero Leathers, UK Not a fan of their zipper pulls though.

Not a fan

 

[LelandJ]

I already knew that.

 

[Thruth]

Ah, well that's a different story. You could always get someone to proxy for you. I'm always happy to help out. Save that, we need to find you someone who makes quality leather goods in Europe.

ConchitaWurst where do you Dutchies buy leather jackets?

Pegasus Makes pretty nice leathers. They are based in France. Narrow range and I'm sure Monkeyface won't like them.

Oooh, those look nice. You're making me doubt my policy of no US purchases!

I like the brown one too. I used to ride my dad's Triumph cafe racer before he sold it, something like this:

Again, I like the cafe racer one. But they have their prices in USD, which is a shame, as it makes them more expensive than the aero leather ones.

I still want a Yamaha V-Max, I will kill myself most likely though

I used to ride a 750 Ducati with a vintage carb made it sound like a Harley, was very useful commuting from Park Slope to Midtown every day in less than 15 minutes during rush hour.

How about this linen cardigan for casual wear with jeans and such?

 

[Pauly Chase]

I like it. Well if you wear them with dark jeans, a bit of contrast in shirting would be good.

 

[Russell Street]

Didn't Betelgeuse have a very similar item, complete with contrast issues?

Spoiler: yup

 

[Pauly Chase]

Thermals under shawl collars not a good combo. Collared shirts, yes.

 

[LelandJ]

Pair it with bespoke silk blended jeans from Victor's tailor.

This looks more like a cotton or wool sweater to me.

 

[LelandJ]

You're right, it's putting on a big front. Also see how second button isn't equidistant from the other two, maybe this was a formosa job for stitches.

 

[Monkeyface]

Spoiler: yup

I guess that's the problem with jeans, because they're dark blue you'll have contrast issues with nearly everything. Stupid jeans. It's for the same reason why navy odd trousers aren't common either.

 

[LelandJ]

Get charcoal jeans.

 

[Monkeyface]

Get charcoal jeans.

Those will have even worse contrast issues! No one wears charcoal odd trousers. Do light blue jeans that don't look like those cheap dad jeans exist?

 

[LelandJ]

Here you go and no toxins either:

I wear grey jeans al the time. Go with any colors very very well.

FTFY. Foo is what we call trophy husband.

I always think of Foo as more of a booby prize rather than a trophy.

 

[LelandJ]

Foo's what you win win your score three hoops in a row at the carnival.

 

[Betelgeuse]

I suck at attempting to dress casual.

Get some casual cotton suits.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Went shopping today. So, I bought some jeans. Levi's 501. They're still a bit low rise and tight around the quads, but it's the best I could find in town. I can send them to Luxire and ask them to copy the jeans with a higher rise and a bit more room in the quads.


I've also bought some t shirts to go with the jeans. It's probably the first time in 5 years I've bought a non collared shirt.

What do you guys think of this sweater? It's s bit pricy, but I think it looks cool.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Not a fan. Color blocks look weird and that mauve color at the bottom is a little pukey. Especially with those pants.

 

[Monkeyface]

That's why I waited to buy it, wasn't 100% sure about it. Thanks Rambo!

I guess I should post on SF SW&D like Stitches now that I own a pair of denim and some t shirts.

I'm curious - post that pic on SF and see what your reception is. Post it in SW&D and don't include the price, then post it in MC and do include the price (since its expensive).

 

[Monkeyface]

It's not really a street wear fit, is it? Besides, it's a shitty pic of a sweater I don't even own.

It would be funny if he went to his local street wear shop every weekend, dress up in an 'edgy' fit, carefully hiding the tags, post on SF, and then return the clothes.

Your presumption that he even makes it out of the store with the clothes is a sign of your faulty logic.

I went to a concert on Tuesday and one idiot next time me dropped his beer on my boots, now they are stained. How can I remove the stains?

I suppose you should be happy it wasn't a michelada.

Leather.

Hahaha.

I wanna cry.

Some saddle soap and a good leather conditioner should help with that.

What do you think Thruth ?

 

[Betelgeuse]

What's saddle soap? Is like that pumpkin soap?
