In the U.S., looking only at what has been "registered" is a common mistake. Trademarks are actually granted and defendable, geographically, under common law. Thus, if Aero was trading under that name in all 50 states, selling jackets, even if someone were to register the name for leather...

Look, Van was clearly sticking it to him, not trying to defend him, he can take care of himself. The fact is that all of the hand-wringing about manners and being guests is very hollow when Sean, even when presented with the proper information, refused to back down, up to and including his last...

Imagine how much it sucked for the member trying to sell a great pair of rare pants when you mistakenly muddied up his thread with false claims. Encouraging him that it was the right place to sell them but ensuring that all future prospective buyers see your claim that they are only worth $100...

What I don't understand is that even if he doesn't want to open debate about the pedigree, how could he not include it in the purchase price of this jacket? It has no value to him once he sells the jacket, and he can then hold the pedigree "hostage" and demand another ridiculous amount of $ for...

Yes, approx. 6 - 8 weeks ago.

That's the best looking Cape I have seen in a long time.

Look forward to seeing it. I received a black goat with brown stitching a couple of months ago (Cascade) and really love that combination.

Congrats on getting your hands on it... I have a Vincenza jacket in russet and it's really a gorgeous hide, just the right weight and with stunning grain. Two people are going to get very beautiful jackets.

Re: Booster Campaign, Diamond Clothing Co., Supply Requisiti Ordered, good luck. I have a Vincenza jacket from another maker and it's a really great hide that your customers will love. I'm going to have to order something from you one of these days, I'm a fan of the work you're doing. As a...

Absolute perfection... wouldn't change a single thing.

Congrats, he's got a great reputation and I've loved every jacket of his that I've seen. And 3 weeks is super fast in the world of jacket makers.

Without touching on the historical aspect of that decision, since I am no expert in that, I think it's been fairly well established that most of us (don't shoot me, I didn't say all) can't really tell the difference once it's been made into a jacket. Because both can be tanned and treated a...

Another option, at an introductory price... patterns and material selection by Goodwear, constructed by Diamond Dave. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Good-Wear-Leath ... 43d5d3942b Another buyer noted that he will take all of your dimensions and produce MTO. Results from that buyer posted here...

26.5 inch sleeve is good for my arms, and I wear 27 inch for motorcycle jackets. I am 6'2" and in shirts wear a 35 inch sleeve in shirts.

He references Lost Worlds, Real McCoys and Goodwear all in one ad for one jacket... amazing.
