    90's aged finish Aero Half-Belt

    I really like the look of the Aero 30's HB and yours is a really unique jacket. Thanks for posting.

    Two new pairs of boots ...

    There's a great deal on several Red Wing Heritage moc-toe, crepe sole, and moccasins at the Clymb. I just posted this on the General Attire & Accoutrements forum. I just bought a pair of Red Wing Heritage 2936 Lineman boots of The Clymb for $163. They have several styles on sale for ~47% off...

    Anyone ever send a Jacket back to Filson's for "re-proofing" etc?

    If you follow the procedure in the video above the jacket will be stiff like new after waxing. It will soften up immediately in flex areas with wear. The highly flexed and dry areas on the jacket are all that needs to be touched up annually. Putting the jacket in the sun is a good way to make...

    Anyone ever send a Jacket back to Filson's for "re-proofing" etc?

    I've reproofed a tin cloth jacket several times. It's very easy to do yourself but time consuming - check out this YouTube video since it's exactly the technique I use. I've never completely stripped the wax from one of my Filson waxed jackets so I've only focused on the areas that are a...

    Red Wing Heritage 2936 Lineman Boot (just bought them) - any Thoughts on the Wabasha

    I just bought a pair of Red Wing Heritage 2936 Lineman boots of The Clymb for $163. They have several moc toe styles on sale for ~47% off and I rarely see Red Wing Heritage on sale. Actually thinking about ordering the Wabasha 9186 style because the price is so reasonable. Anyone own a pair...

    Alexander Leathers

    You should consider Langlitz Leathers if you have a difficult fit issue. For example, you could order a straight-zip Cascade jacket with slash pockets and a normal collar and it'd be a trim/stylish jacket. They will work with you to customize a jacket and they have several colors of cowhide...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I saw this Gustin ad on ebay Gustin Denim Japan Standard Raw Selvedge Sz. 34 and the seller mentioned the waist measured 33". By Gustin's size chart these should measure 35" at the waist and probably end up at 36" after breaking in. Any other member's have experience with Gustin with respect...

    Help..brown or tumbled?

    BROWN FQHH all the way. Check out this thread - http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?69460-vintage-fqhh& I would recommend the brown FQHH to get more pronounced creasing that is from the jacket's fit to you - especially in the sleeves. If vintage and tumbled are different trade...

    Highwayman Owners...what's the consenus on the Storm Cuffs

    Is that a Highwayman vest or no zip-sleeves? I prefer no storm cuffs. I have a Langlitz with gusseted zip sleeves and really like them. With the zippers open it feels like an ordinary sleeve.

    Anyone ever order an Aero midweight horsehide jacket? Or Aero's Sheene?

    Horween makes their combination tanned Chromexcel leather in mid-weight FQHH (see here) but when I asked Aero if they'd do a midweight Aeromarine in the CXL FQHH they kindly said no. Question is this - Do the midweight CXL's (0.8 mm - 1.1 mm) behave like a heavier leather due to the tanning...

    Aero Leather-- what does CXFQ stand for?

    Here's Horween's description of Chromexcel - http://horween.com/101/chromexcel-2/ and their description of the difference between front quarter horse, etc - By Request – What’s the Difference?

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    What color thread would you recommend to contrast with cordovan FQHH? Anybody have a cordovan they've tried this with? I'm kind of feeling like Butte regarding the contrast stitching. What color tartans go best with cordovan? I've tried using the Locharron site but some of the jackets...

    Indy, Iron Ranger, White's or ???

    White's cordovan Semi-Dress boot in burgundy is my favorite White's boot. Horse might not be considered exotic around here though. White's also offers sharkskin, water buffalo, bull, CXL (horse and cow), and bison. I think all their semi-dress leathers are pretty reasonable and even the...

    Opinions requested...NOT FOR SALE

    This jacket is fantastic. Really like the changes over the first iteration. I like the adjusting straps at the bottom of the triangle shaped leather at the waist. This is very functional. The button sleeves are a nice touch. This is a big improvement over the plain cuffs IMO. Can't...

    Darkening a leather jacket

    https://www.obenaufs.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=30 I'd only use Pure Neats Foot oil on Horween's Chrome Excel leather in the event it got some surface dryness. Use it VERY SPARINGLY since it will soak in fast. In extreme cases where the entire jacket needed...

    Aero ebay frustrations

    I wouldn't do business with Alexander Leathers either until their legal issues are sorted out, they reestablish a record of customer service, and they offer something intriguing since I'm already in the Aero camp and Alexander leathers doesn't offer anything substantially different (to my...

    Aero ebay frustrations

    I share your issues in finding Aero leather jackets on ebay. Between weeding through the borderline "Key Word Spamming" listings that Worf noted, the Pearl Izumi Aero jackets (an excellent light-weight bicycling jacket BTW), and the Aeropostale stuff on ebay is a chore. I've bid on a Lost...

    Aero Aeromarine or SlimFit Stuart - Opinions Requested

    Called Insurrection and they indicated the Aeromarine is made only in the midweight hides listed on Aero's website and goat. Want to mention Insurrection was great to talk to, have June order slots still open (means the jacket will be made in June), and are already accepting delivery on some...

    Maxwell v Teamster

    ProteinNerd - might be a challenge to find too many people who have tried on both. The Maxwell appears to be the creation of Insurrection in Seattle and the only place to get one. Check out this thread, "Insurrection / Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread". I'd give them a call.
