To be honest, I forgot the Fedora Lounge Classifieds were even a thing. I admittedly don't post too often and go through reading spurts (religiously reading threads for a week or two and then dropping off the map for a while).

A new Aero board racer Vicenza horsehide jacket, size 38, in olive drab/green. I bought this from Thurston Bros in 2017 and either misread the sleeve size or misjudged. Either way, the sleeves are too short for my liking and, unfortunately, life got in the way and I never managed to see about...

Yes, I think around 1942 but, again, I'm no expert. I'm sometimes reluctant to outright note that due to, well, the associations. I just liked the jacket, nothing more.

Do you have any jackets you've retired/don't wear but can't bring yourself to get rid of? I was doing some cleaning and post-winter maintenance (oiling leather, etc) and got thinking about one of the jackets in my closet I don't wear anymore. This was my main winter jacket for little over a...

I posted this in the "What are you wearing" thread but I think it belongs here too. I love a good cross-zip. This is a Vanson-made reproduction of Captain America's jacket. I wear this almost exclusively with dress shirts & tie. With that said, I naturally took pictures of myself in it while not...

I decided to pull out the Captain America jacket today in part because I hadn't worn it in over a year (!!). This was a Logan's Closet purchase form several years ago. Despite a bitter experience with a later purchase (he took my $800 and ran), I do still love this jacket. It is a Vanson after...

Today was a Pegasus Luftwaffe with added length to the sleeves. It's brown horsehide with a black topcoat. For roughly the last five years it's been my main winter coat. If I had a complaint, it'd be that the body is a little boxy for me. The chest fits well but the bottom, at times, feels a bit...

For the brief moment I was outside of the cave today, the chosen jacket was a Vanson Associates. This was an eBay find I took a chance on a couple years ago and it's turned into one of my favorites. Pardon the awkward selfie. There's a couple loose threads at the bottom I need to take care of...

Hello everyone. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. What prompted me to finally emerge from the shadows was the arrival of a new jacket. In early/mid October, I decided to finally get a Thedi Phenix, which I had been eyeing for some time. After starting the process of a custom piece...
