    At Long Last: The Eastman D1 Mechanics Jacket Arrives

    Very nice. I may have to put one at the top of my list for a winter jacket.

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    My avatar (clearly sporting proper safety equipment, by the way) is from an old British motorcycle movie Psychomania. It's not a great movie but I love it anyway.

    The Real Mccoy's Buco J-22 or J-24

    I suppose it depends largely on your purpose and what holes, if any, it will fill in your wardrobe/collection. Personally I'd be more likely to veer toward the nylon...rayon? Whichever. But given the distinctly Japanese sizing I'd shop for the cut and finish first. A lining can always be changed...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I last drank a Traquair Jacobite Ale (Scotland) to toast the arrival of my new Aero Jacket.

    Ha. Soon. Gotta take some good ones. I only have a string of bad self pics at the moment and they don't do much for the jacket.

    Got my Aero J106. Deleted belt and loops, all brass hardware, royal stewart tartan cotton lining. I'm very happy with it and I have to say, I was expecting a crazy thick, rigid jacket. It is suitably substantial, don't get me wrong. I just thought by the fuss a lot of people make about breaking...

    Johnson Leathers Custom Jacket - Lots of Pics

    Great jacket, great fit. It's got a unique look without being the over-modded jacket that so many customers seem to design for themselves -- regardless of maker. Thanks for taking the time to make a post. Definitely puts Johnson Leathers on my radar.

    Wow, there's an incredible amount of talent here. Here are a few pieces I've done. Nothing very recent but I hope to resume my painting soon. Intaglio: Pen, ink and watercolor:

    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    A few straight razors from the late 1800s and an S.L. Stein photograph of a blacksmith at his anvil -- dated 1863. At least those are the oldest I can think of.

    What do you say to your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

    We keep our finances combined but never once in 15 years of marriage have we argued over who gets to spend what we have or whose money is going toward what. I'd imagine that's not necessarily common but we started young and with nothing. We didn't have any money to fight about as it all went to...

    What do you say to your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

    Sometimes we discuss whether we're in a position to make a purchase or not but we don't ask each other permission. I work hard. I take care of things and if the extras can happen too, all the better. She's happy to see me enjoy what I work for. If anything, she's first to say I should get...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hudson Single Malt just before leaving work. Some times you have to raise a glass to the day being over.

    Yes! That looks like my J106 with the brass hardware and Royal Stewart tartan. Cannot wait.

    A brand new design from Aero Leather

    That's it! Classic.

    A brand new design from Aero Leather

    I think it looks great. I can't speak to how it wears but I like the roughout leather for the denim style jacket. I have never liked a smooth leather jacket in that cut though. Something about it strikes me as dangerously close to a leisure suit jacket.

    Tough jeans

    Agreed. When I want something built to last I tend to think legit workwear first and avoid Chinese goods as well. The Shaefer item I posted is ranch wear -- made to be tough, abrasion resistant, reinforced where it matters. $70 isn't that much to spend for something substantial... Not when you...
