    F/S Alexander Leathers Oil Pull Steer Dirtrider 44

    This is a beautiful jacket that I have had for several years and just have to accept that it is a little too small for my taste. It had only seen very light wear and has mostly been closet kept in a smoke free home. It is tagged as 44 but in my opinion it is in the more fitted side. No...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I bought a pair of IR's in the spring and absolutely love them. With the cooler weather I have been wearing them almost every day and they continue to become more comfortable with each mile. Ditto on the downsizing advice. I normally wear a US9 and bought US8.5's and they fit great. The...

    Input on Quality and Fit of Less Expensive A-2 Jackets

    I agree, just bought a used Cooper A-2 off ebay in a size 42. I normally wear a size 42 with some room to work with. My cooper 42 fits perfect with only a t-shirt on but will probably be tight with anything else. I don't think I will get rid of it, but let the search begin for a size 44...

    Aero LHB in the house!

    Congrats on your new jacket! Don't you just love the color, it is brown with almost a reddish hint mix in. I agree with you about the stiffness of the jacket. I have been wearing my new Hercules as much as I can in the house to try to begin the breaking in process but even after an hour or...

    New Aero Hercules is here!

    Feltfan - Thanks for the update. I was kind of hoping someone from the Lounge would have some insight into this jacket. Now I have more of the whole story of where this jacket came from. No big deal about the handwarmer pockets, I do not easily get cold and I was actually thinking of removing...

    New Aero Hercules is here!

    This was a sale jacket that was sold through ebay. I had already been in contact with Mark working out the details of placing an order for a LHB. Since I won this one, I contacted Mark to thank him for his time working with me on my other order. The only info I can gather on this jacket is...

    New Aero Hercules is here!

    Front pocket flap. Pocket flap has the wool tartan on it but the pockets themselves are lined in a very soft velvety material. Left chest zipper pocket. Sorry about the angle but I was trying to show the taper to the bottom of the back panel. This works out awesome because I am...

    New Aero Hercules is here!

    Inside tag. FQHH tag was placed in the front pocket as the person who originally ordered this jacket had family members fond of horses and did not want to advertise what the jacket was made out of. Royal Stewart Wool lining. Inside vertical pocket.

    New Aero Hercules is here!

    Thank you ebay! I was putting the final touches on placing an order for a LHB with Mark when I came across a Hercules on sale. A few bids and several days later here it is! This is my first post trying to attach photos so I will try it with one and then add some more later. Gotta love...

    Leather Police Jackets

    The 3/4 length police jackets look nice but are not that practical for duty wear. The zippered sides only give you access to your deadly force option and your radio. Waist length "Ike" jackets allow officers access to everything on their duty belts. Might be why you can usually find surplus...

    Who needs four-wheel drive? Offroading in the Golden Era.

    Now that is a "grocery getter" that I would love to drive....off road of course! You gotta love the wood paneling.

    New Aeroleather LHB just arrived!

    It already stopped by and I am working on getting some photos ready today. I have to read up on how to post photos so I should have some ready to go pretty soon! My first impression was that the box felt a little light from what I was expecting. People are always talking about how heavy the...

    Amazing Artwork! I have been reading through this thread for a while and am just blown away by artwork on these jackets! I never thought of myself as an A-2 type of guy but some of these photos have made me re-think my decision. You guys are amazing. Keep up the great work! Adam

    New Aeroleather LHB just arrived!

    Thanks for the info. I had my heart set on a LHB but I actually stumbled onto a sale Aero Hercules in my size on ebay. I few clicks later and here I am the new owner of a FQHH Hercules. Hopefully it will be waiting for me on Monday so I will let you know how it turns out. I have to post a...
