I checked Moorer. Nope. Not a fan of nylon shell parka that makes you look like a Michelin man at all. I am a leather jacket guy and if I can wear leather, I'll take leather over anything synthetic. Just my preference. I also prefer my clothes to have some weight in 'em. I don't understand the...

Indeed you are right. For me I bought it because it's damn warm and I think down feather parkas look hideous. So an aviator shearling would be the perfect balance that combines both coolness and warmth. I went the historic route because: 1/ fashion shearling jackets are outlandishly priced. 2/ I...

Not a fashion item as far as I know. It's just slim like that and I didn't size down.

Possibly a bit colder than where I am. For me 18 mm is sufficient for anything below 0 to -10 Celsius. Beyond that I would definitely love to have 22mm. Keep in my I'm a have a slim build. 188 cm and 75 kg, so not much meat or fat on me. I get cold easily as a result. Your mileage may differ. If...

It depends. Where do you oive and how cold does it get in your area?

I can definitely feel the difference. The picture doesn't do it much justice.

Hi. Thanks again for that. It depends how you want it to be, I guess. This is a B3, but the short length remindsd me a lot of some Irvins, which typically are shorter. And SB's customer care has been superb so far. So happy hunting if you want to take the SB route.

Hi everyone. Thanks for your help so far. It's been extremely helpful. here's an update regarding my correspondence with SB I have sent my pictures and actual measurements of the jacket back to SB's production for evaluation. They told me that the front was indeed increased in line with my...

I tried it on a few times. I usually notice immediately that someone is wearing a B3 and it makes me think of some bombing run leaving destruction. An ANJ wouldn't grab my attention the way a B3 would. If you think differently then I guess we just got different eyes.

Thank you! I usually have problems with finding the right sleeve length as my arms are longer than average. Never had problems with jacket's length since my body proportions favor my limbs. When I opened this B3, I kept praying to myself that the sleeves would fit. Lo and behold, they fit just...

Anyone has experience with Durango and Sendra boots? They seem to be targeting the lower price point, are they worth it?

Thanks for the recommendation. I might order a 21oz from Unbranded. What about wool though. Do they go well with engineer boots?

What kind of pants go well with engineer boots that aren't jeans? Thinking about getting meself a pair of engineer boots for this winter, but don't wanna wear jeans in freezing temps. Any recommendations for an alternative to jeans?

I like a closer fit and I can wear a wool shirt underneath as well or a cashmere jumper. I like the fit just fine. Leather jackets should be slim fitted anyway. A bulky B3 jacket, from my own aethestic point of view, would make you extremely fat because: 1/ it's already a heavy jacket and 2/...

Just talked a bit with Ken from Aero. According to him, the front of my zipper is indeed about 1 to 1.5 inches shorter than it should be. Looks like the front length of my jacket has a problem.
