    February / March Jacket Orders - What are you expecting?

    Got my "August"/"Californian" today. Just a great jacket, and anyone out there debating over FQHH or Vincenza HH, It's a no brainer - go Vincenza, soft and no break in right out of the box!! I don't see how a Goodwear with the "Shinki" leather could be any better, and 8 week wait instead of a...

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

    Hello Carrie, Is that the standard collar for the "August" jacket? I have the August on order, and that collar is WAY too pointy for my taste, so please let me know so I can get it modified before they make it!! I want a collar more like the one on post #842 of the Board Racer seven.

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    I saw these jackets on the Eastman website and thought that it was really nice, great leather, grain, and eventual patina, not to mention color choices, BUT - thought the half-belt was too high, and I don't care for the seam running down the middle of the back (should have been one piece of...

    Good Wear, Fave Contracts.

    The Californian is my favorite Goodwear design. I know I'm in the minority here on the FL, (maybe the only one!) but I never cared for the A-2 design. Too plain, don't like the stand-up collar. I think the Navy G-1 is a much nicer design (later contract with smaller sized russet fur collar)...

    Collar change

    I have an "August" on order, coming in about 5 weeks. Always liked a smaller sized collar, and I noticed the Aug. had one, and was one of the reasons I ordered it. Will give update when I receive jacket,(if you can hold out that long).

    Best tartan liner for Aero brown FQHH..?

    What is best is whatever you like. Go to their website (Lochcarron) and pick what you prefer (they have a huge selection) and that is the best liner!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Everyone has their own body temperature gauge, but my Eastman N-1 is pretty warm. In this kind of weather I do wear about three layers under it (undershirt/turtleneck shirt/sweater)!
