    Aero Goatskin. Does it build a patina?

    Aristotle, in the Poetics, defines character as the choices a man will make. Pretty good definition, imho.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Some years back I picked up a pair of Frye's Rand Lace-up boots in black. After about six months of constant wear (I teach for a living) I found them so comfortable and showing so few signs of wear that I got them in brown and tan, as Frye changes their styles fairly often. Sure enough, they're...

    New Aero Designs

    I have a strange feeling that Ken, because we wear the exact same size and because I've been such a long-time supporter of his work, will suddenly have an urge to forward one of these beautiful jackets to me for a nominal sum (yes, this is grovelling, but wth).

    Aero Goatskin. Does it build a patina?

    It's true that goat doesn't develop patina the way other hides do, but it does develop a beautiful texture of wrinkles and folds that's unique to it, though it takes years (or decades) to do so. Rabbit recently posted some photos of his goatskins (if I remember correctly) that are beautiful...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    If I could ever, through some aberration in the cosmic fabric, find that hat in a size 63, I'd be a very happy man. All the best.

    Montecristi Havana 24x24 WPSI: My experience with Panamahatcollection.com

    This seems to me the most sensible route to obtaining a Panama these days. While the reports on Panama Hats Direct seem to have improved recently, and I give them credit for making a go of it, getting what you want in a Panama has been for some time a tricky business. The uncertainty of the...

    Show us your TIES

    Google "Desert Island Discs" BBC. It's a radio show that's been around since 1942 in which people famous in their various professions talk about the eight pieces of music they would take with them to a desert isle and why they chose them. Really interesting.

    how do you think about vest with button on the "wrong" side?

    I bought a beautiful houndstooth Harris tweed jacket on ebay last year, and when it arrived I found it was NOS, and fit me perfectly - but the buttons were on the wrong side. I must have worn it to work five or six times and no one commented. Then again, I sometimes think that someone could...

    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    Fantastic. It somehow manages to be visually interesting without being in any way outlandish. It looks great on you as well. Cheers.

    Leather Pea Coats - Schott vs Cockpit?

    A couple of months back I picked up a Cockpit black pea-jacket from a member here for about $100, and it's become one of my favorites. Very trim-looking when buttoned and made out of a washed, very sturdy cowhide. Solid but really comfortable.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Very cool look. How's the weather there for leather jackets? Here in Miami we've had quite a bit of cooler weather this year starting around December. This weekend it's been 60s and low 70s: wearable weather for a lighter leather.

    Akubra Overload

    Hi, Hector. After looking at the Akubras I have and reading the comments of other members, I've come to the conclusion (could be wrong) that the style has nothing to do with the stiffness or softness of a particular hat. Rather, it seems to me that particular production runs display more or less...

    Alterations of Aero jackets, aftermarket

    I'd bet that if you contacted either Aero or Thurston Bros. it would give you the drive to start saving for that perfect jacket. Back in 2011 I started looking around for a good leather jacket that would last me and really couldn't find anything that was exactly right, so when I found out about...

    Akubra Overload

    From the comments above, I was thinking that the design of the boxes is very good indeed if they can withstand such treatment and still protect the contents. Like DH, I've received five hats from Hats Direct and never had a problem (thankfully).

    I don't think I've ever seen a black Dustbowl, for some reason: very nice.
