    Scammers Rampant In Outerwear

    Thanks for all you are doing here Peacoat! I'll sure keep my eyes open... Also I was making up an add for boots and I added some of this detail right into the ad itself. Not sure if it will help but I can at least try it.

    Simmons Bilt vs. Aero Half Belt sizing question

    This exactly. If you want a Tee-shirt slim fit consider a Board Racer, or slighty looser, a 4-pocket Cafe Racer. The 30's Half-belt is notably slimmer than a 50-half belt, however Aero do a slim-fit as a Premier 1930's Half Belt. Details here...

    The Bates Corner

    So I spoke with one of the folks who work there. Like Wesco boots and Langlitz leathers, they have too much work and not enough help. They stated I could place a deposit and get into the production Queue, but likely 6-10 months before a jacket woudl be built. They are still very much popular...

    Hangers... Do you hang your leather jackets on them?

    ...And a bump that started out like it was the day after the last post. Yes, I use hangers. I found a deal on very heavy duty, wide wood hangers with a huge metal top hook on them at Bed Bath & Beyond before they dropped out of existence. Originally around $16 each I picked up ~ 7 of them for...

    Don't Call me. And for Heaven's Sake, Don't Knock: 21st Century Taboos.

    I can see both ways for the phone. I both text & talk. There are simply some conversations that are much more efficient and meaningful by talking on the phone. My folks are in their 80's and live hours away. I realize that sometimes the conversation may not always be convenient but you just...

    Factory repairs

    I have a Langlitz en-route to them as we speak (I am not the first owner of this one by a long stretch.) I trust them and trust they will be great with the repairs & new zipper. Looks like they did great with yours there.

    Premature Wear on lining of Aero Highwayman

    I only have cross-zip Aero's at this point, and those models still use some leather around the inside at the back panel (kidney-belt area) on those. My heavily used, 3-year old Indian Ranger does have some wear showing to the lightweight wool tartan lining in a few spots. Cotton drill should...

    Show your Langlitz

    Managed to snag a good old used Columbia off ebay last week. It has a few issues but it's all being addressed. Presently this jacket is being sent back across the country to Langlitz to fit a new main zipper, and to see if they are able to help with a hole at the end of the LH sleeve. It's...
