    Himel Brothers Leather Co.

    Is it wrong that I really like this? I'm not convinced that it'd be practical to wear, as it would need to be part-zipped to stop you from looking like a prat.

    Two-tone Goodwear Arcadia Idea

    I agree about not overdoing stuff, but I suspect that given a bit of wear the colours will dull down. Aero have done a couple of two tone jackets recently, and they look a bit too much, but the vintage ones posted are generally a bit more subtle. The trouble with leather jackets is that they...

    WW2 RAF Coastal Command Hood.

    Aero made a reproduction Coastal Command jacket for Nigel Cabourn a year or two back. I don't know if it was an accurate reproduction, or whether they would make up and attach a new hood for you, but it would be a starting point. Though I'd be inclined to leave the jacket in its cut down state.

    Two-tone Goodwear Arcadia Idea

    I think that the Arcadia could work. Two tone jackets seem to be something tricky to get right. I'm currently considering a two tone Cafe Racer, along the lines of the Mr Freedom one I posted above but without the stars, when my order gets to the head of the queue.

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Alex, I'm glad that you and Giles have come to a satisfactory solution, and I hope that you can resolve any hard feelings too. I'm really glad that lawyers weren't involved. They tend to be expensive, and probably wouldn't have got you anything more. And, Sloan, stirring things isn't going to...

    Help! finding a navy overcoat

    Crombie now have a number of their coats on sale. Navy Classic Double Breasted Coat Navy Covert Coat Naval Pea Coat Navy King Coat (Probably the cheapest listed) Navy Cashmere Overcoat (If money is no object!) I rather like the last option. Shame about the price.

    Two-tone Goodwear Arcadia Idea

    I know, quoted from another thread. Get something in two tone, it'll be far cooler than an A2.

    Aero Letterman Jacket

    I agree. Kentaurus sell a full leather version of the jacket too.

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    I've heard claims about what happened from different people, and they often come over a bit... Much of what has been written is unwise, particularly from the point of view of libel laws. The recent pursuit of Twitter users by Lord McAlpine illustrates some of the potential legal issues, and I...

    Insurrection Aero stock...

    Thanks Carrie. I think that the best way of getting fitted is trying something on in person, particularly with leathers. And I agree with denim that it gets trickier. Particularly when you start taking into account shrinking and stretching. However I find that being able to use measurements as...

    Insurrection Aero stock...

    Carrie, a suggestion for the Thurston Bros. website would be to list the measurements of the stock jackets, such as sleeve length, pit-to-pit, collar-to-hem and so forth. Some of the denim suppliers, such as Self Edge, Blue-in-Green and Ironheart do that, and it makes it easier to compare...

    Aero highwayman arrived

    Worf, Windward is wearing an Aero Windward. His name's a bit of a giveaway. :D I think that he accounts for 90% of the output of that particular style. He wears it very well.

    using the coat hook strap on the A2 ok?

    Rule one of leather jackets: The more beat up they are, the better they look. Or to put it another way, don't worry so much. If you want to use the hanger then do so.

    Indy, Iron Ranger, White's or ???

    Only the Semi-Dress is available in horsehide, and I've got a feeling that's exclusive to Baker's. There's also Cordovan if you want to spend far more money. If you want something a touch more flamboyant... :o

    New Car Coat from Pegasus

    I think that you're right Metatron. The jacket appeals because it's quirky, but if I'm not careful I'll end up with a generic Half Belt.

    New Car Coat from Pegasus

    I've decided that I like this, but I'd ask for the chest pocket to be removed. And possibly replace the cargo pockets with hand warmers, but my Photochop skills don't stretch that far. I agree with Sloan about the colour. Pegasus offer a Merlot horsehide, which would suit it.

    Indy, Iron Ranger, White's or ???

    I really like the William Lennon boots. They're cheaper than Red Wing over here, and they use good leather from tanneries like Horween. I've got a pair of their World War I boots on order.

    Help! finding a navy overcoat

    No idea, but I'd expect they do. They've got stores in the big British cities these days, so I'd guess that there's a stock control system wiring it all up. Check their website after Christmas Day is my advice.

    Indy, Iron Ranger, White's or ???

    If anyone is buying from Baker's, these came from another forum. Not sure if they're still valid. Got these in an email form Baker's http://www.bakershoe.com/ All codes include Free 3-day UPS shipping(assuming in USA only) $15 off all boots- code "boots" 15% off all clothing over $80- code...

    Help! finding a navy overcoat

    Crombie do three, but they're not cheap. They'll probably be in the sales after Christmas, so you might pick up a deal then, and being outside of the EU you should save the VAT. Navy King Coat Navy Classic Double Breasted Coat Air Force Blue Great Coat The last one isn't navy, but it's far...
