    Which shearling jacket?? D1 or Irvin??

    Yep I've worn my sheepskins twice so far. Bought an ELC Irvin last month and worn it once.

    Thanks Fanch. If there was an emoticon for offering a handshake I'd overcome my distaste for them and post it.

    Really? What is my point of view? You should have read the previous posts since it was obvious I was referring to his use of emoticons not his comment. Perhaps it's an example of the degrading effect on comprehension that the things have?

    Well that's a particularly egregious example. Yuck.

    Yeah. Very childish isn't it? Anything which can't be written doesn't really deserve to be expressed at all. An irony one might be useful I suppose given the number of people who miss it in print. But I suspect that I've become cynical in my old age and that the irony has entered my soul.

    She went with Will Lauder to AL along with most of the machinists. The jacket I bought from them a month or so ago was made by her and it is a lovely job. I had an Aero made by her a few years ago too.

    Just a few questions from a noob...

    Aero is the only place you can get a jacket made with Horween CXL HH as far as I know. People have had jackets made up with it from other makers which they have bought elsewhere. I think I saw it used by a US company too on their jackets but can't remember the name. AL can make a jacket in...

    Not really into emoticons myself. But Plumline's seem to hit the mark. Even if they went whoosh over some heads.

    But there does seem to be a bit of history rewriting in that he presumably didn't have anything to do with winning the contract or supervising the work. Or did he? Julie is a very good machinist and she made a shearling lined Barnstormer I had once which was possibly the best made Aero coat...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Thanks smithy. A couple of miles inland from Cardigan Bay actually. We're used to rain and wind but I have been fearing for the roof a few times. The power network was uprated around here a couple of years ago and touch wood no blackouts. Five years ago we would have been using candles with...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Good looking jacket. I'm only across a small stretch of historic sea but the weather is very different here. The jet stream has been hosing us for months and trying to blow our houses down.

    Yes but how much was Ken Calder involved when they made this picture around 2010 or so I wonder? I thought he was taking it easy then.

    Aero jacket length comparison

    In my experiance thick leather doesn't keep you warm in the cold. But it will overheat you more than thin leather will when it's warmer.

    Aero Oil Pull Leather - please show pics!

    No I thought it was this one being referenced. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=1295 Where it shows the oil pull. That is the jacket I bought, but in reality it was more matte and oily. Just like very over oiled old leather or oiled suede. No shine on it at all. No...

    Aero Oil Pull Leather - please show pics!

    That pic on the site is the actual jacket I bought from the sale page. It's nothing like the last swatch of oil pull I got from them, let alone my old oil pull HWM. It was very matte, oily, and unpleasant to the touch.
