Well if it helps at all - I never wear one on a bike. To me it's the simplicity of cafe's; the lack of garish pockets and big flaps of leather that excites me.

Aero Fontana Racer!

Carrie, who made that cap?

 

[ButteMT61]

I really don't understand jackets without collars on a bike.

Do you ride? I wear both, but no collar is way better for me. But it depends on what I'm doing. Cruising down to the coffee shop? Riding in the canyons? Different needs...

 

[IXL]

Do any of the Aero cafe racers have a wind flap behind the main zipper?

 

[Carrie @ Thurston Bros.]

Nice Fontana. Does it have an inside pocket? What would the back length in a size 44 be?

In our shop, it's 27"; however, most of our customers go custom with our Aero cafe' racers, specifying them exactly the way they want them...

Carrie, who made that cap?

No tag in the cap...sorry...

A wind flap is an option on every model of Aero motorcycle jacket...

If they have snaps to hold them down, okay. Otherwise, I prefer the cafe racer tab collar or whatever it's called

Here's the fit picture of the Aero Fontana Cafe' Racer that many of you PM'd me about. Great looking cafe' racer!

All I need is a Shackleton, an Aeromarine, a Route 66 and a Highwayman, and I should be good. I think.

My problem is a hopeless indecisiveness. I keep returning them; I must have returned 12 over the years. I hope that, in this way, I will eventually arrive at a perfect collection of leather jackets. And I seem to be getting there: for example, I won't be getting rid of my 38 A2, nor the 30s Halfbelt. Classics both. But I've already decided to sell my lovely 30s Stockman, in favour, probably, of the Maxwell.

So it goes... on.

Sunburst? Please can we see the back view?

Sunburst? Please can we see the back view?

Surely...!!!

 

[Sloan1874]

Wow! I seem to remember a thread about whether or not contrast stitching was a good thing. It appears with the Sunburst, the answer is: yes, it is.

 

[Highwaymanman]

That is one flashy jacket. For the right wearer it's a total winner.
