    Help with easily see through white button down shirts...what to wear under?

    I actually have the opposite problem. I need a V neck or scoop neck since the collar is unbuttoned, I dont want the undershirt clearly visible. Its easy enough to find a v neck t shirt, and that would do the trip, except for the fact that they constantly come untucked or just messed up. The...

    Help with easily see through white button down shirts...what to wear under?

    the problem Im having isnt that the white doesnt blend, its that the difference between my skin tone and the white shirt is very noticeable. Im fairly pale, but obviously much different shade of color than a white shirt. So you can see the lines of the shirt, not because the shirt doesnt blend...

    Help with easily see through white button down shirts...what to wear under?

    I was trying to think of a better word, but nothing was coming to mind. Ive never heard it referred to as a singlet and tank top wasnt specific enough. Anyway, the problem with them is the neck line is far below the collar and easily seen underneath the button down shirt and I may be...

    Help with easily see through white button down shirts...what to wear under?

    I know, this sounds like a stupid question, but its driving me nuts. I have several white striped button down shirts and I wear them with a blazer, no tie, collar unbuttoned. The problem is that you can easily see the skin tone through these shirts. If I wear a sleeveless undershirt, you can...

    Aero Highwayman with mouton collar?

    I sort of have a highwayman with a mouton collar. The collar is quite oversized (I like them like that) and the jacket is a cross between a highwayman and a cheyenne. Here is a link to my thread with a few photos, hopefully they help you a little...

    Having trouble deciding on clothing for summer business trips, any advice?

    Hello, I have never been one to dress nicely, I never looked messy, but I was always extremely casual. I recently moved into a management position on some very visible projects and found that while I still do like a nice pair of jeans, I also have a horrible addiction to nice ties and...

    ARE THESE SWEDISH LEATHER COATS 3.6KG THE HEAVIEST MADE

    I have two jackets that are 4.5 and 5 kg each and find them very wearable. I guess it all depends on your preference. There are many of jackets out there as heavy and heavier than 3.6 kg, but there is a very limited number of people interested in wearing them from what I have noticed.

    Do Current N-3B Parkas Have Plastic Zippers?

    Unless otherwise specified all Schott jackets are made in the USA. The N3b is no exception and made in the USA as well. As far as the zipper, I have a spiewak & sons milspec n3b and the zippers is metal, not plastic. Honestly, I believe that with the premium Schott charges, if they thought a...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I have quite a few pairs of engineer and logger / lineman boots by Chippewa, Frye, and Red Wing. I dont particularly care whats in style, if I like it, I wear it. I wore these boots for years in the field all over the world in both nice and inhospitable climates and situations. What I can say...

    Rank and Patches on Military Jackets - Might I Offend a Veteran?

    No, milspec clothing has been worn for generations as it was cheap well made clothing (WAS cheap). You have to earn the right to wear patches, insignias, etc, but I think its perfectly socially acceptable to wear milspec clothing as long as it is blank and you are not trying to pass yourself...

    Flight jackets' warmth compared?

    I have a milspec B15 and it is nowhere near as warm as a shearling coat...its not even in the same league. Im not sure if there are different styles of B15, but I would think an N2b would be a closer comparison to a shearling jacket. My N3B is almost as warm as my B3, but much lighter, easier...

    Anyone Have a BLACK Schott 184SM?

    I own a brown 184SM and a black 674MS, which is the predecessor I believe to the 184SM and have seen 2 black 184s over the last few years. The old 674SM is what schott calls "steerhide" which is really just their naked cowhide treated with some chemicals to make it more weatherproof and more...

    Flight jackets' warmth compared?

    I would think that between the B3 and ANJ4, the B3 would be the warmest, due to the wind flap. From my personal experience the different between being warm and being super warm, is getting your jacket entirely overlayed in horsehide. I had an Aero B3 made and it was warm, I couldnt wear it...

    Cologne and perfume

    Anyone know of a cologne with a sophisticated yet rustic cedar and vanilla scent? Ive been looking for a new cologne for sometime and Im having a bit of trouble. I generally dont like the mainstream scents. I currently wear Trumper's Sandlewood, but its a bit too summery of a scent for this...

    Pea coat sizing help

    Fidelity is like the Schott in that the price goes up as the size goes up, I think its about $110+ for my size. Im curious why such a price difference between Schott, fidelity and sterlingwear if the wool is the same and they are all made in the US? Any idea, is it just individual company...

    Pea coat sizing help

    Really, and I thought traditional milspec sizing was weird enough.I have the opposite problem you have, my chest is about 8-10 inches bigger than my waist. I also have a problem with the sleeves in any sizes over 46 (non-milspec) Schott sizing is a bit less complex from past experience, but...

    Pea coat sizing help

    I have a 46" chest, but in a sweater its more along the lines of 47" or so. Im looking at a Schott or sterling wear pea coat 320z, does anyone know if the size 46 leaves room for a sweater, or when they say size 46, does that mean that your measurement should be 46" in whatever clothing you...

    Aero Jackets in really cold weather

    I dont have FQHH, but I do have an Aero heavy steer and then a custom b3. I wouldnt wear the steerhide below 20F, but the b3 is comfortable at -20+F. Honestly, from my experience, once you are dealing with -10F or colder (I have experienced -50 with the windchill, -30+/- without) you REALLY...
