    Windward jackets by Montgomery Ward (and copies)

    Wow! Looks great! Thanks for posting these pictures and your experience with the weather and the lined jacket. I've been debating about my choice of FQHH color, and I've been debating about what to line my jacket with. You've definitely helped me out! Thanks! That jacket has tons of character...

    My new Aero Halfbelt Deluxe...

    Beautiful Jacket. Looks great already. Did you get it lined with Alpaca? You said you're putting it away for the summer, so I'm curious what it's lined with. One of the things I'm struggling with for my Long Halfbelt design is the lining. I can't decide how warm I want the jacket to be...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Good luck breaking those in! I've been wearing mine constantly for nearly six months, and they still look pretty new. They are very comfortable though. I just got back from a trip to London and Paris, and I walk in my Boss boots a lot. I didn't think they would be great for all of that walking...

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    Gancho, Is that a smaller version of the bi-swing back? If so, that's the most attractive version of the bi-swing that I've seen. What do you call that back pattern? The 30's cut looks great on both of you, but for my first jacket, I'm going to stick with the 50's. I'll tell you what though...

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    Jan, I forgot to add, I placed my order 3 weeks ago, and Amanda didn't mention anything about gaberdine being an issue, so I should be ok. Glad I got my order placed when I did! You really started something!

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    Gancho, Thanks for the pictures for reference. Do you happen to have a picture of the 30's HB zipped? Is that a standard jacket or did you modify the regular halfbelt by lengthening the back to match the front? Jan, When I ordered, I didn't specify 30's or 50's Long Halfbelt. Which cut will I...

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    I have no intentions of buying two jackets at the same time!! I will say though that I'm sort of confused. What are the differences between the 30's and 50's LHB patterns?

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    Thank you. This is exactly the sort of information I was looking for. It's hard to buy something sight unseen, and be totally happy with the results. I love that all of this combined experience with these jackets that you all have will ultimately make my jacket that much better. Your advice...

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    Does anybody have an opinion on a map style pocket in the gabardine lining? I would like one, but I' concerned about sagging and damage to the lining. From what I understand, the gabardine is tough, so I'm not sure what to think.

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    Hey folks! Would you mind critiquing my order please? I've been carefully piecing my order together over the past few weeks, and here's what I've come up with: Long Halfbelt in Brown Heavy FQHH size 40" with an inch added to length and sleeves 2 vertical inside pockets on facing with...

    Aero Gabardine questions (max and min temps)

    Oh! Good tip! Maybe I'll just have Amanda remove that form the order. Does anybody else have experience with raising the arm holes?

    Aero Gabardine questions (max and min temps)

    Thanks Gancho, That's very helpful! I'm also curious though, if those with gabardine lining only are wearing their jacket well into the 60's? Also, after reading about Tommer45's issue with his LHB lifting up when he raises his arms, I spoke with Amanda about it, and she suggested raising the...

    Aero Gabardine questions (max and min temps)

    Hey folks! I just got my first Aero LHB order together, and I still have a few unanswered questions. You have all been really helpful thus far with the extensive information you've provided in this forum and I've narrowed down many of my choices because of this. So, thank you! Anyway, I've...

    Linings

    This thread has been very helpful to me as well. I'm currently piecing my order together, and I've been scouring this forum for any information on Aero that I can find. You've all made this process so much easier, and I've primarily been lurking in the shadows :)

    Kilgour, French & Stanbury 3- piece suit 42, grey

    I'm parting with my beautiful Kilgour, French & Stanbury 3-piece suit. It's in fantastic condition, and I believe it's from the 70's, but the style is quite classic. I put it up on ebay, so if you'd like to take a look, here's the link. Thanks for stopping by...
