      The first question you have to ask is how and when are you going to wear it?

      The Ironheart Pale Rider and Big Buck are great leather shirts. You can ride with them, but with the weather getting cooler may need something more substantial.  The IHJ-35 is a great jacket and definitely can wear more year round.  Sized to layer and you can wear it 3 seasons.  Size tighter and it looks great over a t-shirt but you won’t be able to wear it for as long depending on the weather.  The type 3 rough out and leather jackets from IH are awesome and very versatile if your looking in that direction.

      Then you have to decide on the different leathers; cow, horse, Front Quarter Horse, etc.

      I have jackets for all kinds of conditions and moods and it can get expensive very quickly.  Also can get into jackets with built in armour/padding for riding conditions. Not trying to steer you away from it, but let you know what you are getting into.

        I definitely agree with the above info, but I’ll add the following.

        -If you live in the US a new moderately customized Aero is is about $750.. due to the current dollar to pound exchange rates. It’s a great time to buy new.

        -Aero have a ready to wear section with jackets and leather choices in many styles… definitely check that out.

        ** and there is a Big Buck deerskin shirt in XXL sitting in the buy sell section in mint condition at about half off

            @Mizmazzle Thurston Bros. is who I bought one of my Aero jackets from.  Here’s a link to their “highway” models in stock. https://www.thurston-bros.com/search?q=Highway

              Aero jackets are good quality and use great leathers, you can't go wrong with an Aero as a first jacket.

              Fit is king with leather jackets so be sure to spend some time on looking at measurements and understanding different patterns.

                        @jiminstitches do I remember correctly, the your natural leather jacket was from Aero? The Highwayman, right?

                        I've not been able to shake my desire for similar from my head since seeing your pics, so have just messaged Aero about sizing on their Montgomery model.

                        Looking at this in Unfinished Horsehide;

                        image.png

                        Very similar to the Highwayman, but I love those unconcealed front pockets.

                              @T4920 a bit, it’s such a heavy jacket so it’s too warm for it at the moment, But as soon as Autumn comes it’s all I’ll be wearing!

                                I've been eyeing leather jackets too. Really like the aero hooch hauler. Schott tells me "this style won't work with you" when I enter my body specs. When I adjust my height down an inch I'm a XL lol. Considering the IH/Simmons Tailgunner but it's $$ and a few months off.

                                        That's going to be so nice! I've been eyeing that jacket style for awhile. They don't seem to come up used very often, so it's been a battle of patience for me. Please share some photos when it arrives!

                                        Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

                                            @goosehd direct from them in Scotland. The jacket exchange/try-on was the deal breaker. My quality clothing renaissance has made me a pretty accurate measurer-er? And I'll be sending them pics. looking forward to the process now that my payment and bank have finally agreed with each other. Lots of "fraud" emails. Is this really you texts lol
                                            Super glad IH America allows a smooth ordering experience.
