    Which of your jackets gets the most attention?

    I disagree. My Journeyman is very unobtrusive and understated - I wear the coat, day in, day out in many different situations. The quality and vintage styling have drawn the comments. If the jacket wears you then I’m not convinced that you’ll get compliments...

    Which of your jackets gets the most attention?

    I’ve had a couple of ‘nice jacket’ comments recently about my Journeyman. It’s cold and wet again in Somerset so it’s getting plenty of regular use during the commute. Good to hear as it’s my go to jacket at the moment.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Freewheelers Journeyman in Jet Black deerskin, Old Town ‘Plains’ in navy blue moleskin, and an Old Town Canvey cap (once the cat had been persuaded to leave it).

    Anyone tried Aero beeswax or similar?

    I’d steer clear of waterproofing (a capeskin A-1, which had been treated, that I had a decade ago squeaked every time I moved). My deerskin FW Journeyman is absolutely rock solid in rain - warm, dry, and dries out really quickly with no hardening.

    Just my FW Journeyman again. Weather brisk again so third day on the trot for this one. Superbly warm and comfortable.

    Cracked/Torn Capeskin

    Keep the treatment to a minimum though (cape doesn’t absorb oils are well as e.g. horsehide). I bought an ELC A-1 from Holland once. It had been treated liberally treated Peccards and it squeaked every time that I moved. It took a rub down with petroleum spirit to return it to normal. I’ve...

    Cracked/Torn Capeskin

    Argh, sorry to hear that Jonesy, after your recent issues with the mould spores. I’ve had more capeskin jackets than any other type of hide and, while it’s reasonably resilient and elastic, once it opens up the tears strength is poor and the hide delaminates. The tear looks clean so you might...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This one again today - love the authentic Edwardian styling and the detailing is superb. Finally managed to replace the crystal on my late uncle’s Ingersoll Leader pocket watch (apparently 1890s according to the serial numbers, but I’m no expert). So, I now have this on its original leather fob...

    Selling: Aero heavy cord pants

    I am very tempted by those, but I fear they’re too trim at the waist. A high rise and fishtail back usually needs a 36-38” to be comfortable for me.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    That’s never a Cockpit of Southampton, is it? Looks very poor - with contrasting tapes and pockets?!. Possibly Cockpit USA? I’ve had several early Southampton ones (the Aviator jacket) and they were very good authentic replicas (better than Eastman and Aero in my view). One size 42 (1942...
