    FQHH - How much sleeve shortening I expected?

    My experience 'very limited compared to the good folk above - I have just started my second CXLFQHH jacket.

    ^ Thank-you Sir In person this hat is a slightly darker, deeper burgundy than it appears on my screen. Quality - This hat is MUCH better than modern production Christys I would put it in the same league as Akubra.

    Photo Request - Aged/Worn Aero Black CXFQHH black/olive stitching.

    Photo Request - Aged/Worn Aero Black CXFQHH black/olive stitching.

    As per the title, if anyone has photos of Aero's black CXL FQHH which is worn enough to see the colour under the black overdye I would be most gratefrul. In particular I'm keen to see how a teacore effect looks with either Olive or Black stitching. Many thanks in advance Steve

    I think it's now 180 days from order, should opening a PayPal dispute be required.
