    Interest check: Heimie’s Habidashery Horween CXL briefcase

    Curious if there would be much interest here for this item. It was a gift from my now ex about 10 years ago. I rarely used it and it’s been in my closet for years. Was handmade by Heimie’s Habidashery here in St. Paul, MN. Heimie’s is a very popular “old school” menswear store up here in MN...

    MA-1 recommendations?

    I’m looking to pick up another MA-1 as my current jacket no longer fits due to losing some weight. The one I have now is an Alpha Industries in sage green. I’m looking to stick with the same color. Aside from Alpha are there any other manufacturers in the same quality and price range? I know...

    Messaging question?

    Sorry wasn’t sure where to post this. I’m trying to PM a member about a classified but the site says I’m not allowed to message that member? Haven’t run across this before. The recipient is a new member so is that it? Not sure how to communicate with him.

    FS: Alexander Leathers Roadster - 44 $325

    Have a couple catch and releases up for sale. This one is just a bit too short for me in length and sleeve. Alexander Leathers Roadster in a beautiful brown steerhide. I’m not certain but it certainly feels and smells like Horween CXL. Fairly soft but could still be broken in a little. Nice red...

    British shoes source?

    Hello. I remember a few years back when I was getting dress shoes there was a site that had several different offerings from various UK shoemakers at different price points. I can’t for the life of me remember the site. Can anyone send me a link or direct me to the source. Any assistance is...

    5* jacket hide selection

    Gonna be putting in an order for a 5* here in the next couple of weeks. I’m going for a half belt design in black. I really like the one ton312 posted a while back. Question I’m having is on the leather. I read through the lengthy, five star leather post, but realize a lot of that information is...

    Help deciding on new Aero!!!

    Getting ready to order a new custom Aero. I once had a brown FQHH Sheen that I sadly outgrew. Ideally I’d love to get a college jacket and a Majestic in the new chocolate suede, but two jackets aren’t in the cards just yet. I think I’m gonna start out with a college jacket, but I’m just not...

    F/S: Aero Highwayman - size 42, brown FQHH, Excellent Condition!

    I'm selling my Aero Highwayman as my new Sheene just arrived today! I'm the second owner, purchased off eBay in February 2015. The original owner, who is also a fellow lounger, purchased it as a custom order from Thurston Bros. in December 2014. From speaking with the original owner it was a...

    Highwayman length question

    Hello again, time for another question from me . I recently purchased my first highwayman from Sockeye via the bay. Awesome transaction by the way. Love the jacket but am feeling the length is a bit short. I'm 6'2" and the jacket I got has a 25.5" back length. I'm pretty long legged so the back...

    Shorter wool jacket

    As the title implies I'm looking for a shorter wool jacket. I've got a Schott car coat and vintage pea coat but want something a little shorter, say in the 26-28" range. I've seen tons of mall store offerings but figured someone must know of some quality manufacturers who make these. Basically...

    So life finally settled down and I'm moving forward with getting my first legit custom leather jacket. I've asked questions (and appreciate all the responses) and never moved forward but now have set aside the funds and am going to do it. Aero and some of the other higher end jackets are out due...

    Sourcing your own leather

    My wife recently got me a Heimie's leather briefcase made in Horween Chromexcel for our anniversary. The leather is absolutely gorgeous. I believe he uses 3-3.5 oz. Aside from Aero or Alexander leather are there any USA makers who make jackets from this type of hide? After reading some...

    Sizing question

    Hello all. I've been scouring eBay for a couple weeks now looking for a vintage cafe racer jacket and had a quick question about sizing. If my actual chest size is 42" what would be a good jacket chest size to look for? I'm sure it depends a lot on personal preference but if I want a simmer fit...

    New Peacoat!

    So after posting and reading threads about peacoats and constantly being told to go vintage I thought all those people may be on to something. So, earlier today I went into the Uptown neighborhood in mpls and found there were a few vintage shops. The first one I went into I saw they had two...

    Fidelity peacoat?

    Just curious what the verdict is on these in terms of fit and quality. See lots reviews on the sterlingwear coats but not much on these. Would you rate them as equal to a new sterlingwear coat? Anyone own one who would care to comment. Thanks a lot.

I've found this forum to be great resource in finding some of those companies who do custom work. I...

    Probably a dumb question but........

    I've been looking at jackets from several manufacturers and noticed that a lot from aero and lost worlds seem to be almost shiny while others have a more matte appearance. Is this due to high quality leather or some treatment applied to it? I've been leaning towards a us authentic jacket which...
