    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Yep - but also with detachable mouton collars to come - Theodoros is working on them now….in Irvin and black. Will update when the new pics come in….

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Yes - the soles are curved - it actually makes them v comfy once broken in and although they are incredibly sturdy it doesnt feel like that and the fit seems v natural. The curve actually helps with the “roll” of the stride, if that makes sense….

    Choosing the jacket

    About 3 months in total I think for this one - typically my Aero custom jackets take between 1-4 months from placing the order to completion. It depends on the hide and availability of the cutters etc so worth asking them directly if they can give an estimate.

    Choosing the jacket

    The fit is fine - no problem at all - just send in the measurements and they will advise you.

    Choosing the jacket

    Its a custom Aero Wayfarer in black badalassi with shearling liner, wool backed rayon lined sleeves and mouton collar - no idea what it weighs, but its v robust - probably similar weight to my Eastman ANJ4 would be my guess.

    Choosing the jacket

    A shot of the sleeve after a few weeks of breaking in….this black badalassi is a really fantastic hide and is rapidly developing a lot of character…

    Choosing the jacket

    Fyi I have another tweaked version in russet in production at present - will report back, but the black one is perfect for this time of year, so well worth experimenting down this route. The badalassi is thick but also v supple, so it can easily take the weight of the shearling whilst being...

    That would be my guess - that it gets compacted somewhat over time - 40 odd years of use likely squeezes a lot of the apparent “sponginess” out of it - it is certainly not a flimsy hide but its incredible suppleness probably makes it feel les hefty than hides like Vicenza, which are no thicker...

    Just put in my order for another LL - this time the Western in BRG sheep with brass hardware, gold lining….bring it on!

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Its v nice and the next one up on my radar - in discussion with Rip wrt sizing etc but I am leaning towards BRG with brass hardware and gold satin lining….the fit is nice and slim, with narrow arms but fairly wide shoulders, so I would say more trim than the Aero Type III….I will likely need to...

    Yep - same with mine - I would certainly not go for any “artificial darkening” with this hide - just let it do its thing over time - or you risk just ending up with a black jacket after all….

    I popped into LL today to check out their new vegtan horse - see attached - v different from their vegtan cow, and in more colours - notably stiffer but with plenty of grain and patina, plus dyed though rather than teacore…..planning on a Western in burgundy. The shots here include the blue...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    You might want to ponder the older Monza - it is not openly available on their website anymore but they will still make it on request - as that is both shorter and more tapered than the SM or RJ….here is a shot of my old one from the 70s - it might be the sweet spot for your frame? Also, it...

    The Super Monza has a more aggressive taper than the Racing Jacket or Super Sportsman…..maybe for the next one ?!

    Looks great - and you would not want it any shorter - it will mould to a perfect fit imo!

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    For me, True Detective - I really loved the first season but what came after was utter, utter bilge…I managed 1.5 episodes of season two but it was time I could have spent more enjoyably with a spot of root canal surgery…I gave up at that point and never went back to finish it off.
