    Goodwear Star A-2

    That's just insane. For my own education does Goodwear but any hidden tags anywhere? I didn't think so but boys it's a hard think to spot one amazing A-2 out of the horde!

    Bill Kelso Aeronaut A-1 or Aero Aeromarine

    That's a really good point! Thanks for the tip.

    Bill Kelso Mfg - Official Affiliate Thread

    The grain on some of those leathers is pretty great.

    Bill Kelso Aeronaut A-1 or Aero Aeromarine

    The tartan's a good idea. If you don't mind me asking how do you find the weight of the capeskin? I've been thinking about a summer jacket and it's a good looking possibility!

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Completely agree. The depth of color is amazing. I've a old horsehide model J in Octagon and it's never leaving my possession!

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    That's a great jacket. It's good to see people trying some of the more unexpected combinations. Elk + Peacoat. Every so often I take a good long look at that section of the Lost Worlds site. It's an interesting idea!

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I think it's going to be something I'm going to have to live with. Nothing wrong with a jacket just used to smoke a pipe, outside, in.

    Real McCoy's, Buzz and original N-1

    Great post! These are the types of things that make this forum useful. Man that TRM looks warm (I say this after just getting another 5 inches of snow). Thanks again!

    Freewheelers Brodovitch

    I've yet to see something from Freewheelers that I haven't liked. They're profoundly expensive and worse yet rare! At least with The Real McCoy's somewhere along the line you're going to see something on sale used. That's a great jacket. These Aeromarine, Heron, eta 1930's civilian flying...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I've never had this much of a problem either. I'm wondering if somewhere in the 70 years something, or someone, happened to the fabric. Drycleaning, brushing, nothing helps. Almost makes a man want to go to The Real McCoy's and give up vintage (at least for a while).

    Aero - Black Jerky HH versus Tumbled Black FQHH

    Looks like they made one for Jansolo a few years ago. In the heavy stuff no less. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?59054-G1-with-Leather-Collar-Help-Advice-Opinions

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Got a quick question on care. I've a nice mid-40's Kersey wool peacoat. It has some minor vintage issues (couple of holes, bit of wear) but nothing that takes away from the coolness. What I just cannot seem to get under control is the lint. I'm not talking about small minor amounts that are...

    (For CXL Freaks Only) What's with Japan and Thick Leather?

    In my experience they don't. Looking at Buzz Rickson, The Real McCoy's, or The Few, they do get a bit heavy on the wool jackets. 36-37 oz peacoats as an example but none of the leather jackets are at the extremes of weight. Now admittedly none are light they all seem to start at the mid's with...

    The "iGent"

    Mine are: If you tell your tailor you met fellow customers online; (well. stores). If you pay $10 an issue for a magazine without people committing lewd acts inside it; If you buy magazines about shoes and clothing in languages you can’t read; If you know where the outlet centers are in...

    The Magnificent Seven / The Sons of Katie Goodyear (Pic heavy)

    I'll put up a few pics of some of my favorites a bit later in the week. Currently it's nothing but rain, wind, and ever increasing darkness. Not great photography weather! I like how you waxed/oiled the Iron Rangers. I hadn't thought about detailing it by using the different consistencies. I...

    Continuous declining quality of outwear

    Not to get all economics pedantic but some of the statements are confusing absolute with relative growths. 1. In Relative growth the lower 90% of most western societies have had only the most limited economic growth in the past thirty years. Meaning what proportion of the new economy you had in...

    New Golden Bear Bayshore Horsehide Jacket

    I'm not all that sure I'm a fan of that Golden Bear. Looks a bit like a vastly to expensive version of a Vanson Ike (if you want to say within the US but goodness knows they need a new web site you would never know they made decent interesting stuff) or something that has been done a bit better...

    Black Aero Stockman (and Friends)

    Good stuff. I got caught up in all that Mark Moyes fiasco last year so whenever (or ever) I pick up another Aero it's going to be one of the most expensive jackets ever! I've got an idea for something based upon a Hercules with buttons replacing the zipper and on a 1930's HB design. So I guess...

    Black Aero Stockman (and Friends)

    Battered brown is such a interesting color. Seems less waxy and more mate then the normal FQHH. I like it and if it's lighter that's a nice addition to the Aero leather choices. I think it's nicer then the jerky brown.

    Speaking of travel bags, murses and such ...

    I've got to say. Love the idea of a leather bag but I've decided that I cannot deal with the weight. I'm all about my nice filson carry on roller. Made in America, tough, and better yet fits carryon with no problems.
