This is a beautiful jacket that I have had for several years and just have to accept that it is a little too small for my taste. It had only seen very light wear and has mostly been closet kept in a smoke free home. It is tagged as 44 but in my opinion it is in the more fitted side. No...

I bought a pair of IR's in the spring and absolutely love them. With the cooler weather I have been wearing them almost every day and they continue to become more comfortable with each mile. Ditto on the downsizing advice. I normally wear a US9 and bought US8.5's and they fit great. The...

I agree, just bought a used Cooper A-2 off ebay in a size 42. I normally wear a size 42 with some room to work with. My cooper 42 fits perfect with only a t-shirt on but will probably be tight with anything else. I don't think I will get rid of it, but let the search begin for a size 44...

Congrats on your new jacket! Don't you just love the color, it is brown with almost a reddish hint mix in. I agree with you about the stiffness of the jacket. I have been wearing my new Hercules as much as I can in the house to try to begin the breaking in process but even after an hour or...

Looks to be an awesome weekend! Can't make it this year but will put it list for trips next year. Enjoy and remember to take lots of photos!

Feltfan - Thanks for the update. I was kind of hoping someone from the Lounge would have some insight into this jacket. Now I have more of the whole story of where this jacket came from. No big deal about the handwarmer pockets, I do not easily get cold and I was actually thinking of removing...

This was a sale jacket that was sold through ebay. I had already been in contact with Mark working out the details of placing an order for a LHB. Since I won this one, I contacted Mark to thank him for his time working with me on my other order. The only info I can gather on this jacket is...

Front pocket flap. Pocket flap has the wool tartan on it but the pockets themselves are lined in a very soft velvety material. Left chest zipper pocket. Sorry about the angle but I was trying to show the taper to the bottom of the back panel. This works out awesome because I am...

Inside tag. FQHH tag was placed in the front pocket as the person who originally ordered this jacket had family members fond of horses and did not want to advertise what the jacket was made out of. Royal Stewart Wool lining. Inside vertical pocket.

More pics Aero Hercules, size 44 Brown FQHH Royal Stewart Wool Lining No storm cuffs No front handwarmer pockets This was purchased brand new on ebay from Mark Moye. I was in the process of putting together a LHB order when I came across this. The only differences being the tartan...

Thank you ebay! I was putting the final touches on placing an order for a LHB with Mark when I came across a Hercules on sale. A few bids and several days later here it is! This is my first post trying to attach photos so I will try it with one and then add some more later. Gotta love...

The 3/4 length police jackets look nice but are not that practical for duty wear. The zippered sides only give you access to your deadly force option and your radio. Waist length "Ike" jackets allow officers access to everything on their duty belts. Might be why you can usually find surplus...
