    I want to learn to dress in modern/timeless style

    Dressing in modern style and timeless style are mutually exclusive.

    First Aero leather jacket - Advise needed

    Aero's black CXL has a tea core. This Highwayman is 25 years old. It used to be black. In my experience this is not true. Goat doesn't lose color like the CXL does, but it develops awesome grain and creases over time. Here is my Aero goatskin jacket fresh out of the box and after two years:

    This is Aero's old goatskin. This is my Rockafella in the new goatskin.

    Lol, I just realized I made the same mistake twice. I had already answered to this thread stating it was goat when in fact I meant to write horse. Confusion to our enemies!

    Denton, it's horse [edit: wrote goat but meant horse]. I am the one who convinced Ken to bring this jacket back and make me a one-off. As it turned out very well they decided to make the jacket available to everyone. Ken told me that the LVC batch came in mid-weight horse and in whipcord.

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    Dang. Cadillac is not available in Germany. Importing it would cost a leg and an arm. Shipping is four times the price of a bottle.

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    Cindy, you say you literally drench dry leather with Caddillac. I suppose it is similar to Lexol. When doing this with Lexol I find that after a while the leather feels kind of sticky and slobbery even though it is still not supple yet. I can't imagine using as much conditioner as you do without...

    Another Asian Repro Co

    Anybody who knows John Chapman's small niche market company is educated enough not to confuse it with a Korean company named Master Film Mfg Co., even if said Korean company uses a catch phrase clumsily translated by Google to "Manufacturers Of Classic Good Wear Leather Jacket Company". The...

    He Married The Wrong Woman

    Wasn't Liz Taylor the one with six or eight husbands? Good judgement by Ivanhoe, I say.

    Looking to Buy My First Suit :)

    I don't think there are many that stock several hundred genuine 30s/40s suits at any given time. If you have more sources of that caliber I'd be happy to know them.

    Compilation of French Cyclist/Luftwaffe Jacket Manufacturers

    I tried on ELC test jackets, both Hartmann and Luftwaffe. The Hartmann was too flimsy for my taste, more like a shirt. It looked horrible with my sloping shoulders. The other was really nice, but they weren't prepared to make me one with sleeves long enough to fit me, so I got me a custom Aero...

    That's entirely up to your personal preference. There is no right or wrong here.

    Custom Aero 1930s Slim Fit Halfbelt in Russet Goat - Pictures!!!

    Usually I wear it untucked with the waistband flipped up vintage style. Without that it would be too long to wear with a short jacket. I just tucked it in so Simon could get a better look at his SJC Brakeman jeans. :D

    Past Lives and Einstein's Theory of Spooky Science at a Distance...

    I beg to disagree. In my experience as a clinical hypnotist this is how the subconscious mind works. This is not theoretical but my understanding from clinical practice. I don't know if there is some greater force at work. I can't see where I implied that. By being programmed I mean that we are...
