    SimmonsBilt-Now thats service!

    No, we don't. Really, posting a thread to congratulate SB on being able to send a couple of zip pulls is pretty small beer by anybody's standards. Here's a topic: what examples do Loungers have of makers really going above and beyond when it comes to customer service?

    Good Wear-abouts

    Thankfully, size 38/36s rarely appear on John's page!

    SimmonsBilt-Now thats service!

    From what I gathered at the time, there were a lot of people States-side sitting up, waiting for the sale to go on line, and hoovered a lot of the main bargains early doors. By the time I got to the factory later in the morning, though not that much later, there was not much left in my size. I...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Off to Gala tomorrow to nail down the details of my Wayfarer. They've got one that I can try on for size - it's got high arm holes, so I need to see if it's a 236 or 38 that I need.

    Bob Dong advice

    The seller even emailed to advise sizing up. It’s the sleeves and length that tend to be a bit shorter than western makers.

    Bob Dong advice

    There seems to be a bit of crossover in the Chinese work wear market - you similar designs at varying price points. I bought a Non-Stock prison stripe top and a couple of waffle fabric pullovers and they all turned out very good value for money - the prison strip is particularly good quality -...

    Freewheelers Sunset Deerskin Jacket

    Lovely jacket, gives me great confidence in my decision to get a raw leather jacket. I get what you've done with the cuff, it looks fine to me, but from my experience it is likely to wear through rather quicker than you'd expect.

    Help with A-2 purchase

    Sleeves are a bit long but the body's fine. It's a 42 contract, so it's going to be a bit roomier by its very design. Check these pics for the variety of fit...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Azzedine was a massive couture name during the 80s and by all the actresses of thworn at period. So while the price tag is inflated, it's not completely unreasonable (relatively speaking).

    Wabash vintage print t-shirts

    I've worn both mine out. Very comfortable, and they've washed perfectly, no shrinkage.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Lol. Actually, that's a nice idea. As you say, it's about trying to find a balance between interest and overdoing it.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    So, maybe keep the single point yoke and the shaped half-belt? I agree on the black. I think the one above is lined with melton cloth, which is a bit warm for my purposes as I'm looking for something more 'Scottish summer' weight, so sateen is probably what I'm looking for.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Yes, I think I'll probably go over and have a good look at one before finalising the details. I'm pretty sure I'll stay with the black, it's a really distinctive look. I like the half-belt shape, though.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Saw this on the Aero Italian leather page and, in a moment's weakness, I ordered one: I think it'll make a nice summer weight jacket. Things I'm not sure about: would a Hooch Hauler back be overkill? Should I stick with the black cotton, keeping the East-West vibe that I think the Wayfarer...

    Leather jacket advice: Please help

    At this sort of price point, a bomber jacket's probably your best bet in terms of size and quality. I know $200 may *feel* like a good sum (and elsewhere it is) but in this niche you can go upwards of $2,000 for some Japanese made jackets and the average price is around $500-$700 mark. This...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    I think I may have just found my next jacket...

    My latest A-2

    Beautiful jacket. I pulled my Good Wear Dubow out of storage at the start of the month, just to make sure that it had come through the winter un-nibbled, and was struck by how great it looked.

    Apologies for the tardy response. The Tees are made and printed in the UK.

    aero italian horsehide question

    Ive handled both and I would say Buzz and Aero Vicenza are pretty much on a par, weight-wise.
