Pics of my Windward in vintage black and brown standard fqhh ... which looks better ? . . .

Windward, both look good, so impossible to choose. It just depends on your mood on the day.

I'm soonish about to get my second Stockman, as I just like it and fancy a different colour for my mood swings.

As for the Teamster, Fanch's looks great, but I'm not sure what the difference is between a Teamster and a Maxwell other than a chest pocket and a tiny bit on the length. Maybe there's something about the back.

Both v nice, but I prefer the brown. It's just a touch softer and a bit more flexible. As far as best Aero in black. Well, the HMN's a no-brainer, but I also really like the Pioneer in black and the Cossack looks damn good as well. I suggest ordering all three...

Eric, I think the Maxwell is more of a waist level jacket, whereas the Teamster is designed to fit closer to the hips. If I were to order a Maxwell, I would order without the chest pocket, which IMO gives a cleaner look.

Craig, my experience is the same as your's regarding brown being a touch softer and a bit more flexible. I would also agree with your assessment of the Pioneer and Cossack too as both provide understated, clean elegance.

Yes - it depends on the mood and that's why we have more than just ONE jacket, right?

That's why the good Lord made colours and gave us freedom of choice.

All we need now is the means...

Windward, it's not quite dark chocolate brown but has slight a reddish tint and is one of the most beautiful hides I have laid eyes on. It feels good to the touch as well. I think the general consensus is the brown FQHH is Aero's best looking hide, hands down. :thumb:

Eric, I have the means but also have a wife who rolls her eyes and looks up every time a large box from Scotland arrives.

Fanch, all this talk of brown has got me thinking. I'm not a brown person, but I think I'll need to take advantage of an upcoming visit and have a good look at it.

As for your wife, just get Aero to mark the box as containing shortbread and haggis and tell her you're collecting for Burn's Night in celebration of your Scottish ancestry. Then hide it in your garage and tell her a few days later that you were burglarized and the stash is gone, but they left an old leather jacket behind in their rush to escape. Simple!

If there's one thing that unites almost every person on this board, it's sound of tutting and sighing as we unveil our latest purchase!

I am not sure, do we talk about . . .

 

[handymike]

There are some wonderful artisanal cheeses from Scotland.
They might even mask the smell of Horsehide coming from the package... At least long enough to get it into the garage without raising suspicion.

My Hercules in black is pretty damn badass, now with black 3/4 inch sheepskin lining (I just tried it on my God what have I done?)
