    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    My experience with White's is wearing them for extended periods my feet don't feel sore, tired or that I need to get out of them. A good fitting is the key. Even after 14 hrs my feet feel just fine and they don't feel relieved after I take off the boots. I've had several pair of smoke jumppers...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I've been wearing White's for over 40 years. If they hurt your feet they are either not broken in or you have the wrong fit.

    Goatskin -- any input?

    I too prefer goat primarily for it toughness and lack of weight. Although, if I was a rider I'd get steer or horse. However Langlitz might change my mind. I would like to handle Aero and LW goat. I did have an early 50s G1 years ago and that goatskin was fabulous.

    shrinking aero anyone?

    I don't know if I'm following this very well. Are you thinking the creases are an additional flaw with your jacket? I'd be inclined, since you live in London and this appears to be of utmost importance, to get on up to Aero and show the jacket to him in person. Then Ken, the craftsman and you...

    Biker jacket

    A friend of mine(60s) recently got into riding and finally got a HD. He, of course, got leathers, boots and a helmet. He is out riding one day and is at a stoplight. Up along side him rolls a Hells Angel dressed in bluejeans, cut off denim jacket and colors. He looks over to my friend and says...

    shrinking aero anyone?

    I believe to a degree sites such as this tend to raise expectations and sometimes to an unreasonable level. Leather is variable material to make garments. We know from the 'getgo' whatever leather jacket we get is going to change. Sleeves shorten, collars go one direction or other and creases go...

    Aero Pre-War Irvin - Revisited

    Were I to get a sheepskin jacket it would be an ANJ-4. In my mind the others can't compare.

    Living in 'fear' of my leather jackets shrinking is something I will not experience.

    So heavy you need a motorcycle to carry it. He doesn't say 'it will never shrink':)

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    My personal sense of order is neither tucked or not. It is the garmet under the outergarmet should not hang below the hem of the outergarmet. This also applies with shirt cuffs. Thanks Mom.

    Schott Has Jumped The Shark

    These manufacturers are always looking to expand their market share. Look, on the sale page, at some of the dandys Lost Worlds has produced in the past.

    Type 3/Trucker style - Thoughts?

    dm8877, that is a very nice looking jacket. The goat is just right.

    Spidi Worker Wax Jacket -- Anyone own one?

    That looks like a nice coat. I have a Jackhammer by Outback Trading. Similar but less pockets and was around 100.00 dollars. They also have different styles.

    Reasonable alteration

    Thank you, It is a solid fit in all areas and the sleeves are right. Given my locale, the cost of the usual back and forth, potential for the new jacket not fitting I think an alteration might be a good match. It is goat. I will give this a go.

    Reasonable alteration

    Is there a reasonable alteration or is it even reasonable to alter out the excess in the lower back of an A2? I have an A2 that fits very well except it is baggy in the lower back. Probably by design to accomodate the 'modern' man.

    Ideal Shoulder Width?

    I personally do not like the look of jackets with a drooping shoulder seam. I do however have a jean style jacket from Hillside and the seams are about an inch off my shoulders. Despite this, the jacket is very comfortable. I did upsize a tad, for layering. My JL n-200 sized for a t-shirt or...
