A couple of comments on your pending order:
The Halfbelt is a much trimmer fitting garment - if you like the fit of your size 42 Highwayman you may feel a bit constricted in a size 42 Halfbelt (I am a 40 in the Halfbelt and a 38 in the Highwayman)
I believe a yoke on a Halfbelt (which...
Absolutely agree, I own one and it is great. Full disclosure - I removed the removable fur collar and cut off the buttons, I'm not a fan of the fur collar.
I just ordered a Highwayman with zippered sleeves - I think it looks better than the standard Highwayman cuff (and with the zipper sleeves you have a little more control over "airflow" so you don't need the knitted cuffs which I do not like).
The Highwayman is a very full jacket already (in...
I too am curious about this jacket - Wade has gone "radio silent" on this (not sure if that means that he didn't get the jackets, that they weren't what he wanted or that he sold out the initial run). Anybody pick one up?
When comparing Langlitz versus Vanson, Langlitz wins hands down. Comparing Langlitz versus Aero (especially given the price differential) I'm thinking Aero is the better option (it's more than a little ironic that someone from the UK wants a US coat and someone from the US wants the coat from...

Let me start by saying that it is a beautiful coat but because of the added length it will not work for me. As someone not interested in purchasing the coat, I'll observe that this coat is available from AeroUSA for $764 (it's a sale price but it's been "on sale" for most of the...
Have you talked with Will and Amanda about altering this one? It seems that it shouldn't be a huge deal to taper this coat so that the waist isn't so big (it looks good across the shoulders/chest). Whatever it costs to alter should be less than what you will lose on this one.

What size suit jacket/sport coat are you? I'm a near perfect 40R and I own an Aero cafe racer and an Aero slim half belt, both size 40. Both are very comfortable fits but they both provide room for a sweatshirt/sweater. If you are looking for a tighter fit, the 38 may be the way to...
Sizing is quite variable - depends on the last on which the shoe is built. It is essential that you try on the different shoes to get a sense of how they will fit you. I believe Alden DC is on F St NW. Probably closest to you.
Alden. Period. Price point is higher than the brands you mention but they are worth it.
You're in Pasadena? Make your way to Leather Soul Beverly Hills. Try on a bunch, ask Bryan what else they have coming in that can work for you.
Living in Chicago I can say that Butte MT may be one of the coldest places on earth (nice Superfund site, too...).
Joel, riding or street? If you are just wearing it I too would recommend staying away from the shearling lining, it becomes too warm a coat for many (most?) of the weather you...
