    Aero Cafe Racer arrived today

    Sorry no new pictures yet. The label was requested, as were the angled breast pockets. I presume the collar is the new style as it was done just last week.

    Aero A2 38-1711-P in FQHH after 5 Month

    The jacket looks really great Don't worry about a little looser fit, to me this looks absolutely normal. Some years ago I met some polish veterans of the RAF and they showed me a lot of wartime photographs. They mostly were whippet lean and all their gear looked to roomy.

    Cotton Drill Parkas from the 1940s and 50s

    I've got a Woolrich Woolen Mills hunting parka made from cotton drill and it is really tough. It's not a light jacket but even after 3 years of constant wearing there are no visible signs of use. Also my Highwayman has cotton drill lining and it hold well till now. The main reason I choosed...

    Cafe Racer jacket advice sought!

    If you go for a stiff hide, I strongly recommend horizontal inside pockets. I once tried to get a key out of a vertical pocket and had to take off the jacket to pertform the task. I was the laughingstock of the day, as all my colleagues had allready started their engines and had time to watch...
