    Tradeoffs - Himel Bros vs. Freewheelers?

    Hi everyone - obviously, both Freewheelers and Himel Bros. make top of the line leather coats, with some overlap in materials (e.g., shinki horsehide) and design cues. What do you think are the key tradeoffs between the two?

    ISO - Midweight raincoat with hood

    All - I'm looking for suggestions for a mid-length, mid-weight coat with an attached hood. This should be able to take ~1hr of rainshower in above freezing temp. A shorter, top quality duffle would do the trick but I'm not set on it and I'm not convinced by Gloverall's quality. I don't like the...

    Broke a button on my Aero

    I was warned to be careful about (un)buttoning my new leather coat, and indeed I just broke one of the corozo buttons. I'm going to see if I can get it replaced but I was wondering whether anyone here has chosen to replace all their buttons with something more solid. Maybe there are bronze...

    Who makes the best N-1?

    I'm considering the Freewheeler N-1 but I'd like to leverage the accumulated knowledge here. In your opinion, who makes the best N-1? Joe McCoy has one, as well as Iron Heart, MrFreedom, etc. Curious what you all think.

    Here is the Aero 1920 Premier Work Coat I bought from Carrie at Thurston. I received the jacket a few months ago but it's only now that I can wear it. It's still super stiff.

    An Aero 'car coat' as first quality jacket?

    All, Please help me decide on my first Aero jacket (and first high end jacket, period). I’ve chosen to go with Aero because I live in Seattle and Thurston (in Seattle) can help me get the right fit. I’m looking for something akin to a car coat, that I can wear with an untucked shirt, so I want...

    Body vs. jacket measurements

    All - how do I translate my own body measurements into the right jacket size? My chest is 41" around, and my shoulders are 47". My shirt measurements are generally around 22"-23" P2P and 19" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. How do I use this information to choose the right jacket size? Thanks!

    Himel Canucks vs. Freewheelers Brakeman

    All, First time post here, but I've done a lot of reading the last couple days. I'm curious if someone could give me the key differences between the canucks and the brakeman. I find that it's surprisingly easier to find detailed pictures of the Japanese made coat. Thank you.
