    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Carrie, just curious, how many jackets do you get from a hide? Or is it hides per jacket?

    Prisoner Pants

    Pure Blue Japan do them, albeit in Indigo and black. I found them on Rakuten, but sizes 32, 34 and 36 are sold out at present. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/pure-blue-japan/1125/

    Best 21oz denim?

    Nice belt there Sloan! I got my father an Equus belt in the Bakers of Colyton leather for Christmas last year. They are really well made, and highly recommended. The leather is lovely too.

    Best 21oz denim?

    I've got a couple of pairs of Iron Heart jeans, but haven't had any experience with Samurai. I don't find the heavy weight to be a problem, except when the weather is warm, and we're moving into autumn now. If you're after a pair of Iron Heart, I'd look at the UHR denim. That's the...

    Goodwear Mojave

    I've got a feeling that the Mojave's something John Chapman prototyped, but never put into production. Probably because he's too busy selling the military jackets. It is a cool piece, though.

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Just to echo what Carrie said above, I've got a BKS Leathers two piece suit, and I've lost about 40 lbs since I picked it up. They do made-to-measure leathers, and reckon that they can tweak a suit for a 10 to 20 lbs loss at most. The problem is that things like pockets will end up out of place...

    Aero Leathers - International pricing?

    I believe that the prices are the same for wherever you order the jacket from. Shipping will vary, depending on where it's being posted to. Since the UK and Spain are both in the EU, you won't be charged any extra in VAT or duties.

    Roll Call!!!! Show/Tell Us What You Got!!!!

    Worf, it's a modified Cossack! :D I've not posted much recently, which is probably why I'm short of outerwear... Original Irvin (late war) Gieves and Hawkes Cashmere Greatcoat Nigel Cabourn Ventile Smock I've got a Good Wear on order, but not sure when it's going to arrive. It should be soon...

    Ventile

    I've got a Nigel Cabourn Ventile smock that I picked up in a sale last year. It's been my go-to jacket for the last few months. That's not my hat. :D

    What is your opinion of the 'Sherlock' coat the Belstaff Milford?

    Take a look at places like Crombie or Gieves and Hawkes. At this time of year they're having sales, and you might grab yourself a bargain. I picked up a very nice cashmere greatcoat last year at half price. :)

    Custom jacket from Alexander on it's way

    Fred, when I lived in Delft it used to take about five days for a parcel to get there from the UK. If there aren't any problems, it should be through in time. I think that Parcelforce would have to try very hard to damage a leather jacket. It's designed for motorcycle riding, which means it...

    Iron Heart cotton duck type III jacket.

    Try the 555 or 666 cuts. I've got pretty big calves, and couldn't get the 555s past them. They are very, very skinny.

    My Latest Evening Aero

    Sounds like an interesting jacket, Simon. Rather than a bi-swing, I'd consider going for the single back vent. That would require less surgery to the pattern, and I think would sit more neatly with the design. If you feel flush, Kentaurus in Cologne do a car coat that uses the same deerskin...

    My Aero NYPD Leather Jacket in car magazine plus new leather jacket project completed

    Glad to hear you made it through everything in more-or-less one piece. Sounds like it's been a rough couple of years for you.

    Vanson "Ike" in "Octagon" Leather...

    Good looking jacket there Worf, and the fit seems to be spot-on. If you're looking for a pair of gloves, give Daniel Storto in Gloversville a shout. He does some interesting work, and is reasonably local to you. I wouldn't mind a pair of them myself.

    Continuous declining quality of outwear

    There are still companies making clothes the way they used to be, if not significantly better. The Japanese denim brands (Flat Head, Iron Heart, Samurai, etc.) are almost certainly a step up from '50s or '60s Levis. And I wouldn't be surprised if John Chapman is putting together the nicest A-2s...
