    Small Questions:

    I personally like a short jacket - that's one that at minimum covers my belt-buckle - but I've got a small frame and legs a bit longer than than my waist size, so I can get away with it. The problem with a short jacket on someone carrying a bit of timber is that it tends to emphasis the girth...

    Aero Vicenza vs CXL FQHH vs CXL Steerhide = 1st world problems

    Aha, I tried to guess without seeing the answers.

    Aero Vicenza vs CXL FQHH vs CXL Steerhide = 1st world problems

    By my reckoning: A - Vicenza HH B - Goat Samples are handy to see how the leather scuffs and abrades, but also how a particular batch looks at the moment. C - CXL HH

    Questions about Aero Board Racer

    When it comes to new zips, Areo use Talons, not YKK. They also have a selection of deadstock ones, but I don't know what sort. Cotton in the arms is basically down to ease of access - tartan can be a bit 'grabby' on your clothes. I have a wine red rayon lining all the way through my BR it's...

    How much did your 1947 STF Levi's waist has shrunk ?

    It depends where you sit in your sizing bracket. I can slip comfortably in a 29" waist but not 28", so I buy 30" jeans. When it came to LVC 1947s, I went one size up, washed and they fit, but are still pretty loose around the waist and can slip under my belt if it's buckled too tightly. I doubt...

    Dobbs Industries MA-1

    That was my first thought. Doubt it could be for anything else other than clipping equipment to the jacket.

    Once upon a time in Hollywood

    I think QT went for a stylised version of the on-screen Bruce Lee - he comes across as a pompous ass. He only turns up a couple of times, but they're memorable appearances. There's lots of great little cameos: Steve McQueen, Roman Polanski, Sam Wanamaker, plus other sundry ones which would give...

    Once upon a time in Hollywood

    It's a really good film, btw. It's one of QT's 'ride along' films, but evokes and depicts late-60s Hollywood beautifully. Yes, it has homages left-right-and-centre, but it means you get moments such as De Caprio turning up in a pitch-perfect Great Escape remake, him as Hilts wearing the Hilts...

    Aero Leather D1

    I'm afraid it's packed away for the summer at the moment. It's developed some nice creasing on the arms and back, though not excessively so and despite the cream-colour fleece, remains clean.

    Aero Leather D1

    Traded my ANJ4 for a D-1 at Aero, got far more use out of it and it looks fantastic after a couple of years' wear.

    Orgueil Cossack New

    This is why I've kind of given up with Japanese stuff. No matter how much I like the item, the fit always lets it down a little. That said, I'm sitting here in a RM 'Hookless Zips' t-shirt that I love, so it's a question of what you're willing to live with.

    Leather Jacket car show/goodwill finds

    I will take a peek! I guess if they were going to appear in a Glasgow charity shop, it's going to be on Byres Road. Suspect they'll be snapped up.

    I bet you'll pay through the nose for their jackets.

    Aero Open Day: August 17th, 2019

    You're right, this is a one-off. I'd contact Aero and find out what the closing time is on the day of the sale.

    Aero Open Day: August 17th, 2019

    Yes, it's a bit of schlep. I do it by car from Glasgow and I'd be hard-pressed to get it below two hours, and that's with local knowledge. I'd recommend a trip to Aero even if you can't make the sale - the Borders is a lovely part of the country.

    Yeah, it's a long time since I've seen anything even remotely interesting in the local charity shops.

    It's a lovely train or car journey to the factory and the factory itself is unforgettable.
