    Looking for opinions on pocket configuration for an Aero Seven

    The double chest pockets with zipped hand warmers give a collared jacket "more balance". I know your above jacket is a sheene and a different pattern from the seven, but with the tapered waist, does the pockets feel bulky or detract from the overall slim/tapered fit of your jacket? I have a...

    Looking for opinions on pocket configuration for an Aero Seven

    If I decide on the 4 pocket config, I do plan to have all of them zipped and I might follow Carlos840 advice and have the handwarmer zips close toward the hem. If I delete the handwarmer pockets, would the jacket look better with straight chest pockets (aka Buco J100) or keep the angled chest...

    Looking for opinions on pocket configuration for an Aero Seven

    Thank you all for your opinions. The pockets are primarily for asthetics since I primarily put things in my pant pockets and rarely use the jacket pockets for storage. The concern I have would the handwarmer pockets detract or alter the slim silhouette of the jacket pattern?

    Looking for opinions on pocket configuration for an Aero Seven

    Hello TFLers, I'm planning on ordering an Aero seven from Thurston Bros. A board racer fit jacket is on its way to me and while I wait for it, I'm trying to think what specs I want for my seven. I'm planning on going for the Vicenza seal or russet leather but I would like to ask your opinions...

    My new Thedi X Thurston Phenix Quilted Cafe Racer

    Thank you for the compliment on the photos It was a fairly cloudy day outside thus the lighting was more uniform and even making for good exposures. The indoor shots were taken with a bounced flash. All shots were then quickly edited for exposure, contrast and saturation in Adobe Lightroom.

    My new Thedi X Thurston Phenix Quilted Cafe Racer

    Thanks BobJ :) The areas with padding are a little bit stiffer than the areas without padding but it does not feel restrictive at all. I'm sure the jacket will drape better once it is broken in a little. I don't notice the padding in the short time I have worn it. As to the stuffing, I don't...

    My new Thedi X Thurston Phenix Quilted Cafe Racer

    I have been wanting to get another horsehide jacket for a while. I got an Aero 30s half belt size 42from Thurston Bros 3 years ago and totally love that jacket. However, I lost quite a bit of weight since then and unfortunately I feel the jacket is at least 2 sizes too big for me. The body and...

    My New ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket :)

    I haven't weighed it but it feels about 8-9 lbs. it is quite hefty and puts a strain on the shoulders if you wear it for hours. The patina is real and it looks even better since I put 5 years of wear on it.

    My New ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket :)

    At the time of the photos, I was 180lbs and I'm 5'6.5" with a 42.5 chest. The 44r should fit your dimensions. Currently I'm 158lbs and my chest is now about 40.5. The jacket is a bit big for me :(

    What is a good price for a 4 year old ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket?

    Hey Guys, I'm planning on selling my ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket (Inital post when I got the jacket in 2011 http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?54491-My-New-ELC-Roughwear-B3-Jacket-)&highlight=). It's a stock size 44 which I bought directly from Eastman Leather. I lost quite a bit of...

    Horsehide a poor substitute for Cowhide

    I read the entire article from the provided link. We need to take the quote in context. Right now it is out of context and can be a bit misleading. The original writer in the website stated that the veg tanned horsehide (strip hide) was inferior to the cowhide he uses for holsters primarily due...

    My First Aero!! (Insurrection aero 1930s Halfbelt - Brown FQHH size 42) PIC Heavy

    I emailed Carrie at Insurrection about other Aero styles like a FQHH highwayman. They can get pretty much all the Aero styles and they will customize the measurements to a degree. She stated if I ordered a custom Aero with them now, it will be delivered in April (4-6 weeks). That's a much better...

    My First Aero!! (Insurrection aero 1930s Halfbelt - Brown FQHH size 42) PIC Heavy

    Since we are on the topic of zippers and pull tabs, I was surprised that my jacket came with a talon zipper (repro or NOS? not sure). I was always under the impression that the stock Aero jackets come with an Aero labelled zipper standard with Talon zips as an upgrade. Does Stock Aero 30s HBs...

    My First Aero!! (Insurrection aero 1930s Halfbelt - Brown FQHH size 42) PIC Heavy

    Thanks guys for all the great comments! I am really enjoying wearing this jacket. I have a few high end designer jackets (Andrew Marc) that are very good jackets themselves,but this jacket seems a league above them in hide quality and fit. In regards to jacket arm length, when I straighten my...

    My First Aero!! (Insurrection aero 1930s Halfbelt - Brown FQHH size 42) PIC Heavy

    Hello Fellow TFLers, I finally bit the bullet and got my first Aero FQHH jacket! I've always loved the photos of all the Aero jackets posted on this board. I contemplated of getting my own Aero for a number of years now. But due to the very long wait times, huge shipping duties and taxes, the...
