Its made in China but quality is superb, they ship their leather...

    Which messenger bag.....

    I really like it. What brand is it? Hi Nananine. The bag is a slightly customized version of the "Saturn" convertible, which is a messenger bag with back straps so that it can also be used as a knapsack. The owner, Memo, is a nice guy to deal with, and if you don't want one of their pre-set...

    Which messenger bag.....

    Picked the bag up yesterday, and it came out better than I had even expected, it is a great bag and doesn't look like the horizontal messenger bag that everyone and their brother has slung over their shoulder like a fashion statement here in NYC...

    I need a stylish backpack for my grad degree...will be carrying 15" laptop plus books, stationery et al.

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    I agree. Though, I've never handled deerskin on any jacket I'd consider wearing so I don't have much comment there; it does sound interesting. Does anyone have comments on how well-treated deer hide compares to other leathers in terms of feel and weight? You shouldn't, horse is the best hide...

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    I strongly disagree. I have owned many hides, and horse is superb, if you are willing to put the time in to break in the jacket. You need to go to: www.thefedoralounge.com and look at posters' Aeros in brown FQHH, the leather textures are gorgeous, as is mine, even though its just a year...

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    A lot of Aero's are rather thick which turns some people off. No doubt their FQHH will shock those who have not handled that type of thick leather before. For those who know what they're buying, and want a gorgeous hide that will live for decades, Aero's FQHH is unmatched...

    SF' arrogant readers unfairly exclude these fashions

    SF' arrogant readers unfairly exclude these fashions

    While I understand that SF readers to be a broad-minded lot, it is surprising, if not a bit shocking, that they have opted not to include the various fashionable trends presented on this site. I personally believe that the finest japanese selvage denim, black label RL suits, or Alden shoes don't...

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    aero's are great timeless jackets. with RO, you are certainly paying for the name and style to an extent, but the tailoring is great, as is the quality. different strokes... TK, what would you think would account for such a high price for RO? Ornamentation like stitching thread used, tanning...

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    roots looks like a great deal, how would you say it fits? eg should a 38R get a S or M Just wanted to add about Roots, their reputation is sterling; they outfit the Olympic teams for Britain, Canada, the US AND Australia. Pretty amazing. And their leather bags are amazing also, the Las Vegas and...

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    there is no line, but there's a reason rick ownes jackets cost $1500 and its not just the design Well.....Aero and a few others are 1/3 of that price, and make indestructible, top-of-the-line jackets.

    Buying a Leather Jacket

    Roots in your very own neighborhood, Canada might be a place to look into: http://canada.roots.com/The-Italian-...ctedColor=0100 I have a Roots jacket and it is excellent quality. While Aero is the best in the world IMHO, their styles are primarily vintage in tone.
