Hi Gents. I ordered my LHB on the 27th August and called them a couple of weeks ago to see how it was going..i was told they hadn't started it yet but i was put on the 'asking for' pile. Two weeks on and I got 'the' call today.Looking forward to getting home from work tomorrow evening even...

Morning Gents.Funnily enough I've had this conversation with Will.My wife wanted an A2 but in the end,on Will's advice,went for an M422a..she liked the fur collar.. with a plain back(no half belt) as she's slightly built and cut on the japanese pattern that Jan Solo has talked about,in order to...

Hi Libby, We are veering off topic,but my Highwayman,in my opinion,is great.The quality is second to none and the fit,having spoken to Will over the phone with a tape measure in my hand,was absolutely spot on.I received it in August and wore it with just a t-shirt underneath,and have managed to...

Thanks for all your help Gents, I've gone for the brown FQHH Barnstormer with the mariner style half belt.Will said he's done these before and they work really well.Given the choice between the Mariner and the Barnstormer,in his opinion,there's really no contest and the Barnstormer got the...

Incidentally,I've just ordered a brown FQHH Barnstormer and according to Will,i'm the first UK based order they've had for over a month...USA,Japan,and in Europe,Germany are leading the way at the moment.The turn around is still 8 weeks..He said despite the current climate they're having a great...

Sure is,just there's too much choice.we'll see....

I agree as to the length..the barnstormer comes in at around 32.5" on a standard size 44 according to Amanda.I would prefer a little more coverage as it's going to be a winter coat. As for the handwarmers,would that mean the pockets would have to be patchwork style like the Stockman? I still...

Dammit !! More worms in that already full can ! I never thought of or seen a half belt and belt..i assumed it would look a little busy but it would solve the dillema...if you can't decide have both!As for the handwarmers,do you mean a side handwarmer on the bottom flapped pockets? I have...

Barnstormer question Morning Folks, My 40th is looming and my lovely wife is buying me a new Aero,and although it's the wrong time of year,i'm drawn to the Barnstormer or Mariner.Amanda tells me that,in her opinion the Barnstormer is a nicer jacket,and i prefer the styling,so at the moment...

Hello again H, Thanks again for all your help.I spoke to my Grandad but his memory on where he bought the coat and which colour were a bit hazy..he's 89 now..I looked under the pocket flaps and into the seams and it looks like the jacket was originally black and has faded over the years as...

Thanks Gents, You've been a great help.I'm definately keeping the Lightning zip and i'll keep an eye out for a feed piece..who knows could be in the shed with the trousers.I'm guessing the trousers would have a closed zip and therefore not what i'm after? Any thoughts regarding the green...

incidentally,i don't know if it's the grime on the coat but it looks green.I thought they were only made in black?

Hi H, By the bucket side you me the side with the actual pull..the other side is the piece that's gone missing - the small piece of metal that slides into main zipper.I don't have it but i think it was curved.The rest of the zip's fine and does up..i just need to somehow reinforce that piece of...

Thanks H,that kind of you.I've contacted Jan from there already. She can replace the zip but says she would have to use a new Belstaff zip and new studs.I'd like to see if there's a chance of retaining the old poppers and Lightning pull before commiting myself...that said,she's quoted me £40...

Thank you all for your help..i'll crack on and contact Ravencroft today. Paul.
