    Aero Fit Jacket issue...

    This is a quote we'll have to think about.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Is that the Montgomery jacket? I've always wondered if the "Ike" came first or the "Monty." I really like the belt on that one.

    Blazers

    Probably a stupid question, but have you checked out the offerings on Etsy? Last time I looked there were quite a few. There's a shop called "Placid Vintage" that I picked up a very nice seersucker from recently.

    Aero Half-belt

    It looks fine in the shoulders, sleeves, and chest, and being an owner of a LHB, I think that's the proper length. How's the crucial zipper test? Does it zip up?

    Russian Sailor Shirts

    It's hard to compare these with the St. James, as that company makes several different styles and uses different types of cotton. I can say that these are more fitted (go at least one size up) and, while it has a "boat-neck," the opening is smaller than the St. James. I've also found the St...

    First Aero jacket arrived - Half Belt Deluxe

    Doesn't the HBD come with straps at the wrist? Wear it around the house a lot: you'll be surprised how much that helps to break in the jacket.

    Yes. He even threw in a pair of socks, for some reason.

    Russian Sailor Shirts

    I found them by typing in "striped t-shirts."

    Russian Sailor Shirts

    I've been a big fan of striped sailor shirts since I was a kid and have quite a few in different colors and styles. Recently I discovered an Etsy shop called Telnyashencko in St. Petersburg selling military-issues for $9.99, so I gave them a try. About a week later I received the two I ordered...

    Horween CXL in the heat

    That's really interesting about the grain popping out like that. This could even replace the HWT! LOL. I wonder why the sunlight would have that effect.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I know the feeling. The great thing about Aero's jackets is that they are one of the very few things you can buy today that actually exceed your expectations. I have only the one that I bought in 2011, but I still get a rush every time I put it on. I'm heading up north next week and can't wait...

    Linen

    If you're ordering online be careful not to order them in slim styles. The reason I say this is because I ordered a few without realizing it, and so many of the offerings these days are in the slim styles. I'm in fairly good shape, but I've found that the slim shirts pretty much defeat the...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've got a late "40's-early '50's Field & Stream/Gordon-Ferguson black jacket due this Friday. Some time ago I bought a very similar jacket from Terry M. and loved it, but it was just a trifle small, so I'm going to be moving it on. The hide on this one looks very similar to the first one, which...

    Linen

    It's true that linen is hard to keep ironed, especially in a tropical environment where the humidity is horrible and, at this time of year, it rains every day. Even a freshly laundered and ironed cotton shirt will be a mess or wrinkles in the time it takes me to get from my front door to my car...

    1952 sz. 36R Belgian Wool Trench Coat / Overcoat

    I used to have one of those. Nothing better for the cold weather.

    Pet Peeves with Vintage?

    The number one problem for me with buying vintage articles online is the smell that often comes with them. It's a peculiar odor that smells a whole lot like death, as though the original owner had passed on wearing the thing and hadn't been found for some time. Luckily, the articles I've gotten...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I see loads of originals on Etsy and Ebay going for very little.

    1960s Bradlees Sweaters

    Great finds, Retro! Those sweaters remind me of album covers of the great singers of the time: Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, etc. My older sister had all those albums, and whenever I stayed home sick from school I'd lie there listening to the songs and studying the covers. It might be fun for...

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    That's interesting about the sleeves. I'm 5'9" and 160-165 lbs. and normally wear a size 38 jacket and a medium, 15" collar, 32-33" shirt. I sized up to a 40 for the AVI Bronco and it fits almost perfectly, except for the sleeves, which are just a tiny bit short (no big deal). I still have some...
