    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My CC arrived a few days ago and have been wearing it most days, in rotation with my ANJ4 - its in the Aero pebbled merino hide and is really comfortable and practical, and I like the “novelty” of the hood too….v happy with it. The ANJ4 is also a great jacket and can go deeper into the cold...

    Prayers for Ken of Aero

    Best of wishes to you Holly and all your family - very glad to hear your dad is hopefully now well on the road to recovery after successful surgery - Take care and fingers crossed everything works out ok for Ken and the rest of you going forward for 2023 and beyond - what a terrible way to have...

    Field Leathers

    Thanks Marc - that is v helpful! Reassuring that its not like the flaky pigment dyed stuff, which I am not a fan of - I think it just looks tatty as it ages - as you say, if the Italian cowhide ages like the Thedi then what's not to like?

    Query on Eastman Windward fit

    Hi All, I am looking for advice on the fit of the Eastman Windward, if any of you are familiar with it? I have a good selection of jackets from other makers but only one Eastman - the ANJ4, which fits well in the 36”. I usually take a 36” or 38” (for layering) with Aero, Lewis, Field Leathers...

    Aero leather choices/options (End of 2022)

    Maybe try Aero's 1920s Premier Work Coat? Seems to tick the boxes wrt buttons, fit and length - though not a crosszip?

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    I have never seen an FL jacket that looks as off as this Imperial, but Greg is still fine tuning his patterns, which are improving all the time - I have 2 FL jackets and both are great, but in terms of fit and pattern I would put them on a par with my custom Aeros (though the actual construction...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    The more I look at the Imperial in this thread the more off it seems to me - the front pockets (chest and handwarmers) are all way too high on the body and yet the halfbelt is way too low, so it fails on both counts but in different ways in the front v back - the overall effect to my eyes is...

    Uncool, dorky things you won't be caught dead in

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Does anyone have any experience of the Eastman / Lofgren tanker boots….? I think they could make a nice alternative to the more typical engineer boots but have no direct experience of them - any thoughts? They are pretty pricy, so any insights would be v much appreciated before taking the...

    Fine Creek Leather

    Hmmm - that very odd front drop has it verging on the “maternity wear” section for me….

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Tbh none of the pockets in this image look right to me….chest pocket looks really odd with that v high placement and the handwarmers look misaligned, as Marc says. Maybe just a poor photo and its not so bad in real life, but going on what I see here this looks poorly put together - especially...

    Field Leathers
