    shrinking aero anyone?

    In what can only be described as a kick in the balls from hell I find that my Original Hercules has shrunk the best part of an inch! I've had to put it in a suitcase out of sight since looking at it and remembering how great we were together last winter is just too damned sad. I suspect the...

    Repro 1930s Sears Original Hercules jackets; whose is best?

    Time for a poll! For this thread I have three contenders in mind; Aero, Good Wear, and Bill Kelso. Rainbow County don't make the cut cos AFAIK theirs is not customisable. I'm afraid the great Chinese firewall doesn't allow me to post pictures of anything, anywhere, atm. But if any public...

    top quality selvage jeans available in Tokyo

    The gf has a trip here soon. To my utter amazement of her own volition she has offered to buy me a pair of jeans while she's there, on account of remembering me once say that Japanese denim is the best. Trouble is, I don't know what to ask for. Naturally, she'll need to be told exactly where to...

    Cleaning and maintenance enquiry

    I'm just wondering what you losers use on your crocs. I want them clean but I don't want to suffer any colour loss and I definitely don't want to disturb the patina. They're in a good place at the moment, just need a gentle spruce up

    How much more length does this bomber jacket need?

    Well campers I received a few jackets in the post today for try on purposes. Painfully I like them all but it's this bomber I like best. Looking at these pics, which by my lonesome were a nightmare to get, how much extra length do you think is necessary for it to fit me? I know it;s more than 1...

    Solution sought for uncomfortable as hell Red Wing boots

    Morning chaps, I've got a pair of the Red Wing Chelsea boots. The oiled leather on them is great but the trouble is they feel like walking on blocks of wood! After a few hours they're torturous. Any ideas on how to solve it? I wouldn't like to give them up. I went to Clarks but the inner soles...

    FS heavy tan steerhide zip sleeve Roadster size 38

    Owned by me from new for a little over a year this hasn't seen much wear. I have worked on the collar though, with some hot water, which did help it a lot. Here's a thread from when it came...

    help choosing a tartan please

    I'm ordering a Top Notch by Alexander Leathers in Russet Goatskin. Working out the jacket was relatively easy; all I want is some extra length and a leather strip at the hem. Choosing the lining however has taken me all afternoon, and I'm still undecided. Reason being, on the Locharron...

    Russet Goatskin: untouched and monkeyed with

    Evening gents I got home last night to find some samples waiting. It was the russet goatskin in particular that I had been especially looking forward to. I took it out and it did not disappointed I decided to cut it in half and monkey around with one of the pieces. I put it in a cup of water...

    Aero 1920s Original Hercules

    When I got the jacket there was a mix up and it came in the stock option of vintage black FQHH when I had intended for it to be in regular black FQHH. In my personal opinion, I really don't see any appeal in the vintage black stuff and so I was relieved when Aero graciously agreed to a remake...

    your height and the length of your A2 please

    If those of you who own A2s that you're happy with wouldn't mind posting your height and ideal A2 length, that'd be useful info. I realise body proportions vary etc. etc. but if enough people post I think the data could be valuable For me, it's the knits that make judging optimal A2 length...

    a decent tailor in Beijing?

    Anyone know of one that I could trust to make a suit? I'm fairly sure there aren't any in the Sanlitun, Silk Street or Gongzhufen fabric markets - that lot can barely be trusted with a shirt - but I feel like there must be a few good ones out there somewhere. Thanks in advance Schitz

    FS Alexander Leathers kudu brown Dakota size 42, more like a 40

    I may live to regret this but since my recently acquired Original Hercules is a similar kind of style and since there's not a lot of space left in my suitcase, this can go if there's a fair price to be had Measurements: Shoulders 18.5" Sleeves 26.5" Length at back 24.5" Chest 23.5"...

    It's time to buy a non leather formal coat for wearing to the office in winter. Suffice to say I have no brand allegiance to anyone, I just want to find something that looks smart and ticks as many of the boxes as possible. I'm wondering which of the fabrics out there are best in terms of...
