    FS: Aero Maxwell FQHH, Black, 42

    Absolutely beautiful jacket, but like you I'd need one size up...

    Aero jacket sizing question..

    I agree with Seb and Grayland--the sleeves are just fine--if you get a Sheene and are not riding in it you won't need any more length. I sometimes wonder about the advocates of sleeves ending halfway down your fingers, perhaps it saves them scraping their knuckles on the ground.....

    Shell Cordovan Wallet, Color Whiskey, handmade, new

    I don't know how to translate the listing--could you set out the main points please ?

    ....but society does frown upon such things....

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Tonight I am drinking my home-made "29 year old Springbank"..... let me explain..... The afore-mentioned whisky was a present from the woman I live with ("my wife" sounds like she's not an autonomous person-and with the Powder Room stuff going on at the moment, well.....) for a big birthday some...

    My new aero mulligan

    Splendid jacket--I like the top pocket flap too --and even more the fact that the halfbelt is in the right place--can't bear them up around the shoulder blade area.

    Leather Quality and Properties

    Probably best if I don't--partly because I will never own a pair of bespoke shoes and partly because I don't want to see a footwear version of Aero vs AL.....

    Leather Quality and Properties

    Yes but--to be fair-- Lobb are known for making "clodhoppers"--at least that's what I'm told by a friend who will only have bespoke shoes from Cleverley.....

    Leather Quality and Properties

    Nice boots --and more handsome calf than the ones I saw at RM Williams recently.

    New Alexander Leather Roadster

    Oh yeah, my knee length Roadster gets really uncomfy after around 50 hours of sitting...I usually have to swap it for my Bolero Barnstormer.

    Full Grain v. Top Grain

    Right on pipvh...and someone who narrows his choices due to a feeling a vendor is "bombastic" seems to be cutting off his nose to spite his face....

    wrongly placed pocket on my Highwayman!

    Right...clearly he was either a southpaw or a time-traveller who happened upon these posts in 2013....he'll be disappointed when he comes back to collect it.....

    wrongly placed pocket on my Highwayman!

    Well my Aero 30s half-belt is clearly an exception to the rule since the inside pocket is on the right (and, of course, the outside breast pocket is on the left ) --hence no imbalance at all. This was a standard sale jacket, the pockets were not so placed at my request. Although I am...

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    I've just opened a bottle of Bruichladdich Islay Barley Rockside Farm 2007 (50% abv) and for such a young one it is very complex ...and very delicious. Maybe not quite as complex as the extremely poetic blurb on their website has it...or, most likely, my tastebuds just aren't up to that highly...

    Aero 1920s Original Hercules

    I realise this remark will be considered heretical by most --but part of the visual impact and impression of shortness from behind is the half-belt effect. To my mind this always affects jackets the same way especially if the half belt is up around the shoulder blades! The length would look...

    AL Milwaukee steer Drifter

    Wow ! I looked at that hide on the AL site and thought it was a fairy ordinary brown---which I now see is very, very wrong ---it looks wonderful in your pictures. Well done.

    A2 or Half Belf, which one first?

    @tropicalbob----you are right to be afraid---in fact you should be terrified...it looks pretty much like $2,500.

    BK price increases again?

    Well, the rumour I've heard is that it is Ann Summers...... .....and that with any jacket purchase a bona fide Fedora Lounger will be entitled to a free gift comprising a mini riding crop--plaited from the finest veg tanned horsehide in the world-- plus a one-half lifesize inflatable "Andy"...

    Veg v. Chrome Tanning

    Our squaws use Pythonagoras skin---but it's uncomfortably scalene....
