    New Aero Seven Arrived - Thanks for the Great Design Advice!!!

    @Jasonindenver JL has always treated me very well and I'm sure I'm not the only one here. I would name names but they know who they are. I'll always go to them for jackets projects or alterations. I actually have some jackets I want to have a detachable fur collar placed in the coming weeks...

    I would not call it that especially unsavory if you abbreviate it lol I hear you as it is nice to have MTO jackets that has a classic look but with a little something different that sets it apart. That thought will be important when you finally figure out the specifics of your jacket and to have...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Got it so I am getting a topy then lol I think they look good since it's very slim profile. I was going for the TDD in burgundy horse butt but Truman offered the Aubergine horse rump so I just had to get that and then changed the Benzein order to a grey brown horse rump instead Alright man...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Looks like our Australian contingent has lots of love for RMW. I'm sure I'll eventually get a pair or two, my Chelsea boot love affair has just started recently. Thats so true, I'm sure leather soles are strong but it's not right for that kind of weather. The vibe I'm getting is leather soles...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Uh oh haha I know how that goes. One pair is technically good enough but we all know how that works out in the end. So you size down from US sizing probably?

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks man. Do people intentionally scuff up their leather soles to improve grip? Lol I've seen those sole savers plus those metal looking attachment to the heels and the tip of the boots. All my boots are pretty much full rubber soles so it might be time to try something else for my next pair...

    Inspiration for my bespoke leather jacket

    Hmm maybe narrow down what you really want? Ask yourself is this something I can wear 5-10 years from now? Will this jacket be a jacket I can wear almost anywhere and any setting or only for going out? If you plan to go for a fashion jacket I'm sure it might be out of style by then. Since it...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Those RM Williams look great! Don't mind having one of the Chelsea myself. The Bottom right boot in the 2nd photo looks especially good. That's showing lots of character, a well worn pair! Great job! I'm sure there are sources online and this might be redundant but I've never had a leather...

    So true. There's so many jackets I want to handle whether it be because of the leather/pattern/or out of curiosity. That old unlined suede with the smooth leather collar looks cool, now I know where the new jackets are based from. Will you clean that up or leave it alone for a weathered look?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I messaged the guy selling it and waiting for a reply to see if it's still for sale and asked for more photos/measurements That's true that might be a real 18" pit to pit which will not work at all lol Most of the time I'm a size label 36. 20-20.5" pit to pit is my go to chest number. If...

    Man, you are on a roll with the truckers and LVCs! Great finds! This is what's keeping me from buying an Aero Type 3 because the jacket can be had for less. I shortened the leather pull on the brown jacket as well, I just cut it out and blunted the edges like what @navetsea mentioned. I...

    Help me not screw up my first aero / thurston / bootlegger order

    That fits great already aside from the sleeves being short. The Bootlegger and stf Bootlegger will have a boxier look and lower armholes so it will fit differently. When I ordered through TB, I initially asked for a HOoch hauler front with half belt and single yoke back design but then Carrie...
