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

    Yes, they are indeed. And personally, I love 'em. Since when did all FQHH have to be the heaviest?? Here's my A2 - in midweight, naturally..... And here (again) is my Aeromarine - also in midweight FQHH.....(in fact, this style could not even be made in heavyweight hide).... Both are...

    Post War Blues, Soul & Rock. 1945 - 1975

    We've all heard of Tina Turner, and many of us will remember Ike & Tina Turner. Here's an excellent tune from 1966 that ALWAYS gets left off the "best of" compilations. And yet, it is one of their best......Ah well:D;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g8_VEqzC6o

    The problem (for me) is looking at these "brand new" pics of the blue jackets. With a reasonable amount of wear, these things will look completely different. Can someone at Thurston's get one dirty?:D;) PS. I also agree with Ken re the colour of the knits.......

    Leather Jackets in the 1920s

    I'm very taken with the shawl collar arrangement on this one. The lower lapel (complete with buttonhole) is leather, but the upper and back are knitted. I don't think I've ever seen a recreation of that style. Fascinating! And grey suede, too! Thanks again DM:D;)

    Wrangler are certainly still around. Aero have stocked some of their repro stuff. A lot of their current stuff is, sadly, a little derivative. I'm with you on Lee. The repro stuff is head & shoulders above LS

    Hi Simon. The reason James Dean is such a jeans icon is because he wore Lee Riders.

    Inside Pockets ? - One - Two - or None ?

    Best way to get "pick-pocketed" - use a wallet. Best way to NOT get "pick-pocketed"..........Don't......... Feel free to disagree:D;)

    The acid test with this kind of stuff is what it will look like after the newness has been knocked off of it. Any chance of kicking the sample around (a bit of HWT, and rubbing it with screwed up newspaper partially does the trick), just so we can see what it is gonna be like after a few months...

    Inside Pockets ? - One - Two - or None ?

    On the thick FQHH that Aero uses, inside pockets, particularly behind similarly placed outside pockets, equals BULK. If, like say, PL, you like bulky jackets, then that is cool. On the other hand, if you want a smooth looking jacket, and you are not trying to outdo the wife with the amount of...

    Inside Pockets ? - One - Two - or None ?

    Had a HWM with two pockets (not made for me). Horrible. My vote is for NO inside pockets
