    Topcoat Conversions?

    I have a single-breasted charcoal grey overcoat that falls to halfway between my knees and ankles. I am thinking of having this converted to a top coat to end just above my knees. Any thoughts, advice, examples that others have done? Cheers, Harry.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    The folks at Hats Direct once told me that the Federation is closer to a long(er) oval and the campdraft is less so, more "round oval" than "long oval". That might explain why you didn't note much of a difference, as your head is less long oval. Harry

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Fed V ?!?!?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR5FBMH7AOQ At the above link at about the 11 minute mark, this lady refers to this as a Federation 5. Any intel on this? Maybe she mispoke? There have been rumours of a Fed V coming out. Harry.

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Different times! Pith helmets might stop the sun, but they're pretty useless as "armour." They look pretty cool, pun intended.

    Hurricane Sandy

    Role Call - How did everyone do during "Sandy"? Wore my cloth cap this morning. Not really wide brim weather in Toronto. A building on Queen Street in Toronto burned down last night. Extra firefighters were needed to contain the embers during the high winds. How about members in the...

    Aero Shawl Barnstormer

    I was thinking more along the lines that Aero USA wasn't really an official AERO company. My bad.

    Lamy Safari with 1.5 mm tip ink flow issues

    Hey gang, I've got a Lamy Safari with a flat 1.5 mm nib. This skips on a regular basis. I use proper fountain pen ink, and store it upright. I've flushed the nib with warm water a few times. Works fine for a while and then stops. I think the problem may be that the nib is scratching the...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA
