    Aero Sonoma Cafe Racer Fit Questions...

    I've only worn it for about 10 minutes, plan on a LOT more soon. Not at home now, but I'll begin working on the "break in" ASAP. Unfortunately, the armpits, like your experience, is what I remember most about the "feel". Looks spectacular on, though. Hard to say. Maybe shoe trees for the...

    Aero Sonoma Cafe Racer Fit Questions...

    Hahaha! It's just me I think. Too much time in the gym in my 20's. When I buy shirts, polos for example, a large fits everywhere but the shoulders. After one wash, the shoulders are too tight. An XL fits perfect in the shoulders, but is loose and sloppy elsewhere. Ugh...lol

    I hope this is not true in my case... :-( I absolutely love this jacket, but now I'm worried.

    Aero Sonoma Cafe Racer Fit Questions...

    THIS is what I wanted to hear. I'm so used to wearing comfy north face jackets, Arc'Teryx, Marmot, Patagonia, and the like...that I think I'm just going to have to get used to a leather jacket feel. So stretch and softening happened well for you?

    Aero Sonoma Cafe Racer Fit Questions...

    Thank you for your comments. The jacket fits slim and looks great. I have a much smaller waist that my shoulders so the fit in the torso is fine. My main concern is with the armpits getting softened enough for comfortable everyday wear.

    Aero Sonoma Cafe Racer Fit Questions...

    On the Aero Sonoma Cafe Racer FQHH...Is it normal for the fit to look "spot on" from the outside, but as you are wearing it...it feels a bit tight and restrictive in the armpit area? I mean, it is brand new FQHH after all (stiff). I have read about "High Armholes", which gives the classic...

    Hamilton Khaki King Scuba

    Thank you. It is so hard to get a good, focused, photo. I know it doesn't necessarily fit into the vintage theme of fedoralounge, but, to me, it is a classic look. Next on my list is the Orient "Bambino" with an aftermarket brown Horween band. :-)

    Hamilton Khaki King Scuba

    I finally found a cheap alternative to the Rolex Submariner (my favorite watch). It is still Swiss-made, rotating bezel, sapphire crystal, day/date, black face, and all in stainless. And, it was $4k cheaper. Thoughts? Opinions...

    WTB FQHH AERO Highwayman or similar.

    Still searching. The 30s Halfbelt in a 44 is also on my radar. Anyone?

    WTB FQHH AERO Highwayman or similar.

    Greetings fellow loungers, I am looking for a dark brown (although I would consider cordovan) 42/44 Aero or Alexander FQHH jacket. It must be in newer condition. I really like the Highwayman (or similar) varieties with a collar. I am 6' tall with broad shoulders and a 35" waist. Below you...

    Question About Alden 405s

    Thank you. I will be placing my order in a couple of weeks. Now to decide on a color. As an Indiana Jones fan I am tempted to go with the reddish (Brown) but I really like the Natural Chrome Excel too. I will be pairing these up with a new Schott Leather G1 that I just purchased like this...

    Question About Alden 405s

    Hello everyone, I have a question about the fit of Alden shoes, particularly the Alden 405 boot. I have read countless articles, reviews, posts that Alden runs large. I am normally a spot on 11D in a shoe and when there is a variance I need an 11.5D. Since these run large (or at least that...
