    Black or brown, that is the Aero question

    I'd be inclined to go for cherry, as it's a rather different colour. And ages beautifully.

    New Aero website!

    I found the best way of buying premium jeans is to take advantage of the sale that Mode d'Emploi (a shop in the Hague) is currently running: Two pairs for 100 euros. And they're selling things like Atelier Durance, Denham and Levis Vintage. Between myself and my brother we've acquired five...

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    My brother and I ordered a brace of Adventurebilt Deluxes in April or May 2008, and they finally arrived at the weekend. So the timing is similar to Swisslet's. I think that Marc's got an assistant now, and had something of a delay due to moving jobs and rebuilding his hat workshop. He now...

    Fur collared Luftwaffe leather jacket. Has anyody come across one of those?

    No idea about the origins of the jackets. But something that did jump out at me was that the pockets are cut in the wrong direction. That strikes me as being more suited to being worn in a cramped airplane cockpit, as the pilot could reach across his body to access its contents. There might...

    "End Of The Season" - who's broken out their leathers?

    Oh come on, stop making excuses. I'm a similar height to you, and can ride a motorbike. Don't have one at present, but most of the big BMWs are designed for tall people to the extent that they offer low seats and suspension for those of lesser stature. And most of the big Adventure tourer...

    Square toe harness, cowboy, or engineering type boots??

    Not a pair of boots, but W.S. Foster do a fantastic semi-distressed look on their bespoke shoes. I would love a pair, but they're £2350 / $3700 (and upwards). They do boots as well, but they start at £5000 / $7800!

    Action shots of you in your best leather...post 'em up!!!

    Crowtree are still going, albeit in a much reduced capacity. Contact details are on their Facebook page. Nice bike.

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    Thanks for the comments comparing Aero and Goodwear. The detailing on the Goodwears looks better than the Aeros, and I'm very tempted to order one up. One thing that I'm hoping is that I could get a Goodwear fitted to me a bit better. I've got big shoulders, and need to go up to a large...

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    How does the jacket compare to an Aero? I keep on having bad thoughts about the Californian Mojave...

    Anyone know much about the J. Crew Millerain Field Jacket? (For motorcycle riding)

    If you're after a Belstaff jacket then check out the motorcycle rather than the fashion range. The bike ones feel better made and are generally cheaper to boot. I wouldn't want to trust my skin to any of their fashion range, as they feel pretty flimsy. That said, waxed cotton is doesn't...

    Cassina LC7 Chairs in Melbourne

    I hope that I'm not breaking any rules by posting this, as I'm not associated with the company. The Space furniture store on Church Street in Melbourne currently has a pair of Cassina LC7 armchairs for sale. They are upholstered in a cream canvas, with matt black legs, and look like the one...

    Dr. Who?

    According to Wikipedia, Colin Baker wanted a black velvet costume rather than the an explosion in a rainbow factory that he ended up with.

    Levis 501 1966 Dd Selvedge

    I've heard that older jeans are actually more abrasion resistant than newer pairs. I'm not sure why this is, but it could be down to washing as Papa M suggested. I own two pairs of dry denim jeans. The aforementioned Levis and a pair of Nudie jeans, similar to GriffDeLaGriff's, but without...

    Levis 501 1966 Dd Selvedge

    I've got a pair of the 1940s style 501s. I don't know if they're the same fabric as the '66s you're looking at, but the denim is a lot heavier and stiffer than the regular jeans. My guess is that my pair will outlast a regular pair, and by quite some margin. So you might actually get better...

    Armand Basi leather biker

    Going for another detour off topic, I've got a soft spot for the six pocket jacket that Aero sell in Japan.

    Sam Walker leather jackets...

    I've got a feeling that the original Sam Walker jackets were made by Aero, but that there was a parting of the ways, and someone else made the later ones. But I could be wrong. :)

    Brando jackets

    I keep on thinking that a reversible Waterfront would be a good idea. I think that there might be something wrong with me. :)

    Royal Enfield and Lewis Leathers

    Royal Enfield and Lewis Leathers have got together to produce a bike. According to MCN, only fifty will be built, and they'll cost £5350. Right, so who's buying one? :)

    What's on your wishlist?

    I'm a bit tempted by a Goodwear Electra. Though possibly with A2 style pockets.

    A rare Aero - the Stuart?

    The Stuart looks like a Cossack or Half Belt with a button front. It's possible to get the side straps replaced with buttons. My jacket had this done, and the design used was to extend the half belt at the back into a wide strap with a button hole at each end. I had a pair of smaller buttons...
