    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Still jacket weather here in Alberta Canada. Custom Hooch Hauler in old batch midnight blue CXL (about 3-4 months of break in done) With the new batch of midnight actually looking blue, I guess I need to rename my jacket color. How’s steel grey CXL sound:p?

    :p I believe there are NOT ENOUGH REDWING SHOES or vintage workwear shoes there for sure!:D However my wife begs to differ. I admit I do have a lot of shoes:oops:

    Thank you for the compliment regarding my photos of my HH :) . In regards to the HH and the ELMC windward, I believe they are 2 fairly different jacket designs. The only similarity imho is that they are both aviator/vintage style cross zips. I don't own a windward but based on the very knowledge...

    Post pictures of your jacket collection

    My humble collection hanging in my office/closet/shoe rack. My girls (wife and 2 teenage daughters) take up most of the storage space, thus this is my main cubby hole :p. My shearling jackets are in the basement storage cabinet for the spring/summer months.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Been trying to wear this beast as much as I can since getting it. It’s breaking in nicely:). I can honestly say this is my most comfortable Aero jacket I have. It has the most range of motion compared to my Ridley, Seven and Premier Halfbelt - probably due to the wider shoulders and single...

    Happy Easter! Got some good shots of my Aero Hooch Hauler in the sun today while strolling the Local Zoo. You can see the color variations starting to form now. Also, Midnight Blue seems to go pretty well with warm tones too imho. ;) It's breaking in nicely :)

    Aero Premier 1930s Half Belt

    My premier half belt is a size 40. The shoulder length i believe is 17.5 to 17.75. The P2P is 21-21.5 and the hem is 20.5. It is snug in the shoulders and chest. I can Cross my arms but it is not that comfortable to do so. I’m not sure about the sleeve cap though. In comparison, my Aero...

    New Aero Hooch Hauler and Broken in Premier Halfbelt

    I feel once the sleeves crease up more the sleeve length would be just right. Currently they feel A little longer than my Halfbelt despite both spec’ed at 25.25 inches in length. The hooch hauler shoulders are wider by an inch or so compared to my Halfbelt and probably contributes to the sleeves...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Hopefully my incoming jacket might re-inspire you. It’s not black but a cool midnight. ;) I opted for black stitching and buttons with nickel hardware to give it a sleek uniform look with a pop of silvery shine. If you are curious, I have 2 full jacket pics (front and back) that Carrie emailed...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I knew you would figure out the color right away. You are the inspiration why I went with this color.;) The jacket has a couple little twists which I incorporated in it thanks to all the TFLers here. I feel it will be familiar but unique at the same time. Once I get the jacket by weeks end or...
