    Board Racer in 42 or 44 ?

    I’d say 42 if you wanted to wear this as they were designed...trim and neat.

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    Do any of the leather trucker manufacturers make a jacket with an inside pocket? I tend to need one to store my phone, and order all my Aeros with them.

    Aero Buco J-100 fit jacket: your feedback is greatly appreciated!

    The bi-swing back is one of the major differences. Also the taper from chest to waist in the CR seems a bit more than is typical of other Aeros. Make sure you confirm the waist size opening on an Aero CR size that you buy as it's narrow. I have a pretty thin build (5-11, 165pds, 40 chest, 34...

    New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

    Congrats on the new jacket! Btw- Be wary of comparing the Bootlegger sizing as there are two models, a slim fit bootlegger and a regular. I wear a Slim fit Bootlegger in 40, and as a size comparison I wear a 38' 30's HB, and a 36 standard Highwayman. I believe one quick way to tell the...

    SPLIT TOE ANKLE BOOTS HAND STITCHED

    Alden only hand stitches the top of the Indy boot toe box on their shell cordovan versions. The classic Indy boot is the Alden 405 style and comes in various leathers.

    Aero side adjusters issue

    I actually add another short piece of leather under the leather strap and the buckle so it's hidden, then I pull it tight.

    Vintage odor removal

    You might try Natures Miracle (from a pet store). The enzymes in the stuff will eat the bacteria. It worked on my G-1, #199, http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/which-is-your-favorite-g-1.89066/page-10#post-2283572

    Nice and original idea to use Fender tweed with leather.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    Excellent. It looks great and glad it worked.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    The knits and lining were not impacted by the 'process' at all. The mouton collar wasn't harmed either and in fact came out looking better, much cleaner and much fuller in appearance. The USN logo did fade a small bit so I'm trying now not to not put anything else on it. Here is before and...

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    Just picked this G-1 up locally; according to its label it's a JA Dubow from a 1951 contract. Overall in excellent shape with a beautiful grainy goat hide. I've been spending the last few days aggresively cleaning it to get the 'vintage' smell/funk out of it. Through this cleaning process I've...

    WTS- Avirex MA-1 "Dragon 8 Flight"

    WTS- Avirex MA-1 reproduction. Picked this one up at a local show but it's a little too large for me. It's really quite nice and feels correct and authentic. Comes with its original Dragon 8 Flight patch, generic name tag, USAF silk screen logo on shoulder and on liner. A few snags and marks in...

    New pair of Role Clubs engineer boots

    Thanks for the recommendation on the buckle/unbuckle procedures.

    New pair of Role Clubs engineer boots

    Quick question since these are my first engineer boots; do you leave them unbuckled and then buckle them up tight every time you put them? Or just leave them buckled but loose enough to slip them on? Thanks

    New pair of Role Clubs engineer boots

    It was a long wait for my Role Club boots but certainly worth it. Just recieved this pair of brown horsehide engineer boots from 'Brian the bootmaker" and they are stunning. The custom fit is perfect. Can't wait to start breaking these in.

    Filson Mackinaw Work Jacket

    Yes, it's a great jacket, I have a black and grey one. The jacket is also lined and it's made out of the thicker 26oz Mackinaw wool vs the 24oz wool of the Mackinaw cruiser.

    Filson coats - anyone?

    Yeah, sizing can be tough to judge especially while they are transistioning to the new letter sizes. I have quite a few Filson jackets (bought three during the holidays) so my experiences might help provide a reference for sizing. I've also tried almost every jacket on in the main Seattle store...

    Filson coats - anyone?

    Heading back to the main HQ store tomorrow to exchange a few items tomorrow. Btw- when I took the Factory tour, I asked the tour person (who is also one of their marketing people) why they did away with the Seattle fit....the answer was that they wanted to simplify things and instead of having...

    Aero Bootlegger in Black Tumbled FQHH

    Looks good. Is that a premier Bootlegger or a standard model (I had thought the std came with epaulets)?
