    Thoughts on my new RM A2?

    When I first looked at your photos I thought - Man that is a nice looking jacket! Then I went on and read all the critical posts about how it fits etc., and then I went back and looked at the pictures again, and thought… Man what a beautiful jacket! Perfect fit! I love the high collar, I love...

    Cordovan leather jackets - what do you really think?

    “Claret” - Might be a good name for it.

    Keep it. It looks great, and I'm sure it will be a comfortable friend to grow old with.

    My New JL

    Fit is a personal thing, but I think it looks absolutely perfect on you, wouldn't change a millimeter! Much tighter and it would be harder to live life in it, and do things like talk on your phone, eat a meal, or push your grandkids on the swing. I also like the line of stitching in the hem -...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    When I first saw the photos of this jacket, BEFORE I saw the last photo where it's on you, I had the distinct thought that this jacket looks like something navetsea would design and wear. What I'm trying to say, is that you now have a recognizable style, like Thedi... or Beethoven!

    Aero jacket - some leather advice please

    @ David r CXL, whether horsehide or steerhide, is so stuffed with wax and oil, that it does not breathe. It will be like wearing heavy rubber for your two long daily walks. I have just one leather jacket, it is a half belt in the seal jerky horsehide. It is my daily wearer here on the wet...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    I think I could sort these jackets into chronological order, based on the color of your beard!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That jacket is amazing! You must be wearing it a lot, because it sure has acquired some deep character since you got it. Look at those sleeves! What are you thinking about unlined jackets now?

    Can I have your opinion on an Aero Board Racer I just got from the Blue Label page?

    Those "mismatched" panels will match like twins with wear and patina. Those little scrapes will disappear in a snowstorm of new ones. The jacket is beautiful, and you're a lucky lucky man if it really does fit you perfectly.

    'Godless' Whiteys Leather Jacket

    Yes, that's a very historically accurate jacket common to the American southwest. Mexican/Spanish cowboys were called Vaqueros and wore this type of short jacket working on horseback, often with those same four horizontal pockets. The open range working ones were usually made of leather...

    ELMC Windward dilemma

    The bottom, lighter one looks nicer on you. It looks more 'authentic' in some sort of way. The top one makes your lower abdomen look swollen - at least in this photo. Both of them seem a bit long for this style of jacket, but I like that.

    Aero Board Racer fit advice please.

    Good luck! :)

    Aero HG5?

    Yes, old, discontinued style by Aero. I considered getting one back in early 2013, but ended up getting a half-belt instead. Amanda (superlative former Aero customer service person) told me that the pattern was specified by some company out of Hong Kong that ordered a bunch of them. Back...
