    689 HH details needed

    Well, I also normally wear size 40 for most jackers (Aero et al), and I did order 42Reg from Schott. Mine fits perfectly well, even a bit snug around my newly grown gut. I think 40Reg will be snug if you wear "modern 40".

    Opinions of this coat

    Well.... It is a notch lapel DB coat. This is not a classic by any stretch of emagination. Circa late 80s. It is a functional coat, but it belongs to the same era as "member only" jackets. I would highly recommend getting a peak lapel DB coat, or a notch (or peak)lapel SB coat. Generally...

    German Leather Jacket Resource

    I have two nise examples of german leathercraft. One is a jet black trench with all the propper hardware brends (Astor, Stocko, Zipp), and the other is unmarked barstormer. Both are in mint or close to mint condition, fit me very well and get regular wear...

    689 HH details needed

    I actuallt don't think it is. I own more brown/cordovan jackets then black ones, but I still think that good quality black leather ages just fune, with those great ash shades.

    689 HH details needed

    They don't make many brown jackets in any models. I think it has to do with market forces. Typical consumer buys black leather jackets.

    689 HH details needed

Having been on the never ending quest for TPLJ (ThePerfect Leather Jacket) for quite some time now I own horsehide leather jackets from almost every top pf the line maker, such as Aero Leather, Lost Worlds, Eastma, Vanson and others. Recently I saw Schott model 689HH...

    Lost warlds vs. Aero quality

    OK, lets compare between the two. I have three Aero HH coats, and one Lost Worlds on order. Has anyone compared the quality between the two manufacturers? I heard good things about both, but does anyone own jackets from both in order to compare?

    Long leather greatcoats

    Couple of years ago a MINT black trench made in pre-war Germany appeared on eBay. It had buttons in addition to the double-buckled belt and the coat was made from four three pieces of leather, as opposed to more common six or seven. there was no seam under the belt. I tried very hard to get...

    Aero Horsehide stain transfer

    Firts of all let me say that I love Aero jackets. I own four and wear them regularly. One thing which I have been trying to investigate is how to stop dye transfer from the leather to the light coloured shirts, sweaters and furniture. My new long halvebelt and barnstormer both suffer from it...

    My new 30ish suit

    there is something off in the proportions. I can't put my finger on it, but may be you are correct, ans this is due to the pose and posture.

    My new 30ish suit

    The suit itself appears to be OK, but the fit on you is terrible. Just look at your photo from the back. The shoulders are too wide, the back is all misfitted and you see your behind pocking throgh. I would take it to the taylor and have him correct everything which is wrong with this suit, or...

    What about this one?

    Well, you see I don't believe that careers depend on the overcoat one wears to the office. I am the living proof of that. I have been wearing this coat for a while, and I have never had any issues raised by the superiors. The only people who tend to comment on my attire are my employees, and...
