    Any FL member meetups in the Boston/Central-Mass area to show off (Aero) outerwear?

    The reason I ask is because I'd like to get an idea of what an A2 jacket looks/fits like in-person before I order one. :S I'm still waiting on a HWM that I ordered a few months ago (through Mark) but the waiting has left me second-guessing my given measurements after all the reading I've done...

    Twin Peaks: James's Jacket?

    Anyone know what style James's jacket from Twin Peaks is? (I'll try to find a pic of it in the meantime). It's the black leather biker jacket with a thin and wide fur collar.

    Aged/Broken FlightJacket A-2 Photos?

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could supply any images of their broken-in FlightJacket (US Authentic) A-2s. Perhaps after 2+ years of use? Horsehide or Goatskin (either). I'd like to get an idea of what this particular mfg's jacket starts to look like (patina, creases, neck-sweat...

    Barbour: waxed thread for hood-sewing? Or rivets?

    I have purchased two Barbour jackets (one a sylkoil utility jacket for my wife) and a waxed trooper jacket for myself. Both jackets are without hoods and without mounts for an optional hood purchase. We really would like hoods. Two questions: 1) Regarding thread, does anyone know if...

    Leather tailor in Boston, MA area?

    Does anyone know of a good leather tailor in the central~east Massachusetts area? I've sadly lost some weight and my adored 184SM is now very baggy. I want to go from a size 50 to a size 46 (not just chest but the tighter arm sleeves/sockets, etc). I understand it might be better for me to...

    Moose leather jackets?

    Does anyone know a place that sells moose leather jackets? I bought a pair of moccasins today and I noticed that the leather was really nice (uber-smooth) and the tag said it was indeed moose leather. Now I'm curious to see what the jackets look like, though I can't find them online.

    Reproofing/Waxing a Barbour

    I've made a mess on mine (first attempt), I'd like to ask if there are areas of the jacket that have more wax (blotches of) than others, over time, would they 'even' out? It's almost an embarrassment how I've waxed this thing (even though I've used the hairdryer, followed the...

    ACTON Lambskin A-2

    I bought this jacket today (on sale for $249, MSRP $549) and while I really like how wide the collar is, the leather seems to be extremely thin (though super supple). So thin in fact that you could bet to rip it with little effort (stretching it gently you could hear the fibers crackle). I...

    Leather Elbow-patched Sweaters?

    So I've been looking everywhere online for (non-suede) leather elbowed sweaters and they are either a) incredibly expensive ($250+) or b) suede. I've actually went to a thrift store and purchased some leather jackets to cut up (like the one in my pic). I traced and cut into the leather using...

    Comparison of Wax Cotton jackets

    Can anyone offer opinions/comparisons on quality with respect to the Barbour jackets? - Oxford Blue waxed cottons - Westfield waxed cottons I have only tried on the Barbour jackets and although nice, I find the price tag to be a tad ridiculous for what it is. But I do need a raincoat here...
