    Rain on Leather I got my coats spread with Pecard lotion and cream. Is water a real issue for my goat and horse hide jackets?

    What sort of flight jacket weather are you having these days..?

    Windy and rainy in the Pacific NorthWest Rain is a pain... I was wearing my aero veste de rallye today (I need matching brown shoes for that puppy.) When it stops raining, hopefully this weekend, I will switch back to my new B3 because it usually starts to get colder when it doesn't pour.

    Aero HalfBelt and/or Highwayman?

    Slim fit LHB I just like the look of the slim fit for the Half-belt jacket that Aero released. The cut seems to fit better my V-shape. I was wondering if you guys have any advices regarding going for the slim fit or not? I also wonder if the slim fit would look nice with the cargo pockets or...

    Aero HalfBelt and/or Highwayman?

    bi-swing back I am not sure about the bi-swing back option. My indy jacket has a bi-swing back by default and I really don't like the look of it. It seems to open up too much all the time and doesn't give that sharp cut. Colin on the pics above looks pretty fit and the jacket looks great on...

    a2 jacket for christmas

    I did I got an A2 Rough Wear from ELC in horsehide seal brown. I love the jacket, unfortunately the size is a tad too short on the sleeves and the back length. I will return it as soon as they reopen (Jan 11th) to exchange it for a long in same size. This will probably take a while to get it...

    Aero HalfBelt and/or Highwayman?

    Thanks and happy christmas. These shots look really nice. I can't understand why top manufacturers selling expensive stuff don't have real life shots. Makes a big difference. I start to like the half-belt better than the highwayman. It looks classier. I love the way the jacket fits in the back...

    Aero HalfBelt and/or Highwayman?

    Thanks for all the answers. I would like to ask you guys a favor and please post a photo of your HB with you wearing it, if you don't mind. As usual, living on the US West Coast and ordering from UK, I find it pricey to have to return jackets that don't fit properly the first time. How does...

    Aero HalfBelt and/or Highwayman?

    Does the difference between the two jacket justify to have them both? I owe a Highwayman in black. The Half Belt in cordovan looks nice. I need someone to tell me if there is a big difference in the cut. Does anyone on this forum own both and can tell me the pros/cons on both jackets? Thanks!

    B3 jacket, which manufacturer?

    ShanghaiJack was right I had to re-order a B3 one size above. The smaller size usually my size when I buy Aero didn't feet me very well. May I prefer a bit more confortable than a tight fit and a size above looks better. I also ended up switching for the dual tone. It's really not that reddish...

    A-2 Choices, Flightsuits vs. Flightjacket.com

    Eastman It seems to be a good time to get an A2 as manufacturers are stocking for the spring season. I got a 44R in Seal Brown and with my height at 6'1" I am hoping this will be the right size. After looking at some of the shots in this forum, it looks like the jacket bottom should be around...

    A-2 Choices, Flightsuits vs. Flightjacket.com

    A2 on the way Hello, I am getting an Eastman A2 Seal Brown Rough Wear model. It is on its way. I am hoping that the jacket is sized correctly. Does anyone on this forum have experience with Eastman sizes? I've asked about the B3 and wonder if this is similar on the A2. Thanks!

    B3 jacket, which manufacturer?

    Pure luck I called after reading that thread and they had my "size" in stock. Although, I am not quite sure that it is my size. They are mostly out of stock now, so if I decide to change it (according to your comments guys) then it will be a 2 month wait :(

    B3 jacket, which manufacturer?

    Sizing Hi, I just got my Eastman B3 monotone delivered yesterday. I ordered in the same size as I would have ordered a lighter jacket as the sales person told me that their sizes take into account the extra space created by the inside heavy wool. However, I am not sure if it fits the way it is...

    B3 jacket, which manufacturer?

    Link not for USA customers This company may apparently not ship to the USA directly. They have a website I found just for the States. But the Website in the US doesn't have a shopping cart? What's up with that?

    B3 jacket, which manufacturer?

    Thanks for the response. I didn't know about this company. What is the price of their B3. It turns out that real mccoys are very expensive even with the AU $ conversion. And aero won't make a 3 panel back which is a big turn-off for me. Edit: it seems that the company Eastman Clothing Leather...

    B3 jacket, which manufacturer?

    I nailed down what I want: a b-3 jacket in dual tone, and I would like to get some opinions from current owners about which company to order from. So far, I've got three repro companies listed: lostworlds, real mccoys, aero leathers. I skipped the cheap repro because there seem to be a gap in...

    Designer coat in the "Family Man" movie?

    Hello, I am new to this forum. I like reading the posts. Since I watched the movie "Family Man" with Nicholas Cage, I was wondering what jacket does Nick wear toward the end of the movie (the drive to the airport and the scene at the airport.) That jacket looks absolutely gorgeous. Thanks!
