    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    I have a Carhartt sherpa lined type 3. Good jacket and fits well. Unfortunately now discontinued. Oddly, 3 of my best fitting jackets are discontinued Carhartts.

    Crazy !

    Unless you are giving me your money, I have little or no interest in what you do with it.

    One Tier Above Carhartt Jackets?

    I spent a career in Carhartts and I also own plenty of Filson. Both being made of cotton they will wear to the point of being non repairable. Filson is just too expensive to wear in an environment that requires frequent replacement of clothing. A single item of Filson may out last a comparable...

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

    I like the look of leather but prefer the weight of fleece and down.

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

    I'm willing to speculate if the aforementioned Buco had a misaligned zipper by one inch no one here would have purchased it at just about any price

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    No pics but while fueling my car at a station in the middle of Alaska the fellow in line behind me came up and complemented on how great my A2 looked. I said thanks, my only A2 is a GW Doniger. I told him about GW and some of the other makers, wait times and costs. He said the quality is very...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I just got a type 3 made by Prison Blues. Very heavy denim. I'm pondering if it will shrink enough to size. Appears as if this will out last the Lee's and Levi's I've worn over the decades. I wear them quite a bit

    Neat find - Vintage Suede Ibex un-lined trucker/jean jacket

    An ibex is a wild goat which typically lives in the rugged mountains. They have massive horn for their body size. Ibex was a USA company that made high quality wool garments. They recently closed. That is a nice jacket.

    FOR SALE unique teacore shinki hh Bill Kelso aeronaut 42

    Looks like a dandy jacket. My experience with custom jackets is you pay a premium for the custom and take a beating on the resale. I usually give my custom stuff away rather than endure all of the opinions of those who aren't interested in making an offer.

    My New SM Wholesale A-2

    J, I'm reasonably certain your friend is more exhausted with people who can not afford one of his planes wasting his valuable time talking to him about their hobby. The basics of flying are relativity simple. If you have average coordination you can fly a plane. It does not however require super...

    My New SM Wholesale A-2

    CBI, congratulations on your flying ambitions. I've been flying and have owned airplanes for over 25 years and it is a great accomplishment. When compared to money spent on airplanes money spent on jackets is modest, but you are discovering this :). Tailwinds

    Subjective personal opinions can be difficult to reconcile, and sometimes downright bewildering

    Super, it is difficult for me to comprehend you being 'paralyzed with indecision'.

    Join Me in Heresy

    I think the medium of leather in jackets will highlight a good or bad fit more than most other fabrics. Perhaps because leather is a bit more formal than say a North Face fleece jacket. Of the jackets I own, a couple are leather and are my favorite to own and others are fabric are my favorite to...

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    I agree that that A2 construction is not an exclusive skill limited to a gifted few. Certainly the quality of the war era production jackets varied greatly. Might I suggest that if McColgen sourced horsehide such as vicenza, shinki or warhourse and added some customization his prices would be...
