Bit of a slow reply here but #1 looking great man! #2 in my experience cow/steer hide stretches and molds where denser horsehide does not. Enjoy the jacket!

Johnson cross zip on the way from another member. Planning to have a local leather tailor shorten the back and increase the waist - hem taper. But we'll see how it fits first!

Incined to agree. Craftsmanship and salesmanship don't seem to coexist in the same person. Just look at the Lost Worlds site. It is batsh!t for a serious business in 2024 to use a site like a 2001 myspace page. It makes me love LW so much more than if they had a slick sales site which simply...

Do they have a site where you can look at the hides and jacket models they offer? The one I've found has basically nothing on it, which is why I overlooked them in the past. Aero makes it so easy to browse and dream up your custom jacket(s). I think their site design is a big part of their...

Oof that Phantom Black does look nice. Thanks for the helpful info, as always. I'm waiting on @Mrfrown 's recently sold seal Vermont crosszip atm and impatiently obssessing to pass the time. Glad to hear it will stand up to some rain and teacore a bit over time.

This is nuts, congratulations! I saw some of this leather, maybe your jacket even, on their instagram and was like, "... wut?" Looks amazing and even better in your pics. Very curious how it will age. I guess some of that shine will go and it will settle on you a lot. When I do go the custom...

Did anyone ever find out how the Vermont hide copes in the rain? Lovely jackets here guys

Oh the agonizing wait ahead. I am SO excited

Interested! Sent you a DM

That really does make a very pretty picture. There's still very little of the base showing through which i like actually. I agree with you @MrProper . I think it's either a plainsman/wayfarer in badassalassi or a type iii in jerky. That is a big price difference between the options but I think...

Ah I can imagine that will look the business. Does it form nice rolls and creases on the sleeves? I'm thinking of a wayfarer or plainsman (or maybe Type iii lol) in black jerky, but I do need me some sleeve rolls in a jacket. I miss that from my CXL HB. I don't see any examples or jerky doing...

Reviving this thread :D How are you finding that Plainsman @zebedee ? Did you go for extra grainy Jerky?

Thanks for putting that so neatly. It pretty much crystalises the suspicions I had. Maybe if I want a shearling one day i'll go to them. For the rest I'll stick to watching other people's adventures. The other thing I have to wonder about is how they fair beyond the typical TFL review period...

Anyone had any experience with 5* wool? Like the stuff they use in this. It's indeed their tube sleeves - and squared shoulders - that always look off to me. I've seen a great looking A2 repro of theirs from a post years ago though. Is such a repro worth it do we think? Some here seem to...

Oh yes pics please when you have time! Aero's description says they started using a darker base layer more recently. Maybe that's for the brown jackets. How do you like your plainsman?
