    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Looks good, Stearmen. I assume it has a zip out liner that is medium dark brown? If so it would be identical to one I wear and purchased in 1985.

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    . Congrats on the 40th, PaulC. Good of your wife to buy such a nice gift for you. The halfbelt idea sounds interesting. It will not, IMO, make it look out of balance. I wear the belt begind all the time, like you do with your trench. That pinches the middle a bit so it fits nicely, and...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    . I have the end of the belt and the buckle toward the jacket back, with the belt loop going over all 3 belt layers. I don't pull it so tight that it puts pressure on the belt loops, though. Here's what it looks like:

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    . My black Barnstomer has cotton drill lining. It has been my main jacket in winter since Dec. 2006. It's usually warm enough for me, mainly because it blocks the wind so well. I shoveled snow in it today @ 15 degrees with no issues. It also bleeds its color quite a bit. I haven't put any...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    . I wear the Barnstormer with the belt cinched in the back between the two belt loops. This shapes the middle of the jacket and keeps me from having to deal with the belt.

    Aero Bootlegger, with buttons?

    . I have a black barnstormer FQHH. No problems with buttoning. It is my "go-to" coat for 3 months of the year. The only issue I could see is if the button holes were too small... [huh]

    Help me choose my first fur felt!

    . Univibe88 Thanks, here is the thread link (my photos have been re-uploaded as well, don't know what happened there...) New Gus Miller Custom "Bogart" Thread I agree, that style would look great on Hat Head.

    Help me choose my first fur felt!

    . Hat Head, I can understand your perception of Gus and the folks at Batsakes. I am near Cincy and have had a custom hat made by Gus. The language barrier is interesting to me. He is an old school hatter and doesn't really cater to the hobby market, but seems sincere in helping customers and...
