Many thanks! And I can now see what you mean about the potential effect on a longer style coat. I'm also adding a little length to the teamster so there would definitely be a lot of noticeable variation. My sample cutting of battered tan actually evened out color-wise after I got it wet, then...
Thanks Zebedee. Would you say the this hide darkens over time / instead of fading? After messing around with my cutting from Aero, I think it darkens as it absorbs skin oils / dirt etc.
Red Fox Steer sounds interesting but the "red" scares me off, more of a tobacco man here.
Anyone out there own an Aero in the Battered Tan HH with feedback on how it ages / develops compared to say FQHH or CXL Steer? Pics would also be great! I've seen photos of new jackets and also have a cutting from Aero, but theres no substitute for owner feedback. Thinking of a Teamster in...
Unfortunately my hat wearing/sizing experience is limited so I can only offer my opinion. For me this feels pretty roomy, especially around the sides. Maybe Im more a long oval head and should have gotten a 57.
$200 shipped in USA. Size 10D, worn outside once but I have too many other pairs so Im moving these on. Limited edition for the Asian market. Black cherry featherstone leather, same as on the Beckman boots.
Size 58 Open Crown Squatter Model in Carbon Gray. I've bashed it but this hat has never seen the outdoors. Unfortunately it's just too big for me. I thought it would tighten up / mold to my head after the bash but it's not going to work. Price is $100 USD via PayPal, includes shipping to USA.
Everyone has different needs but I've seen versions of the Teamster on folks look like a 3/4 (which I like) and then a short half belt style (not a fan). And no matter what, I need the cargo / flap pockets to put things in. My hands go in my jean pockets more than the hand warmers. Looks less...
Agreed on the chest pocket, mainly for looks to "balance" a jacket. I rarely use these, also keeps the pocket blousing nice and tight. But I can't live without cargo pockets of some sort. Really useful for putting manly stuff in! ha.
If you were looking specifically at an long Aero Teamster...
My guess is the patch pocket was too narrow a space? If only it was made with an pleat/fold of leather to give it more room.
Davy- do you have a photo by chance?
On a button up semi-long leather jacket (i.e. Stockman,Teamster,Work Coat,etc)? Which would provide the most utility and best looks?
Patch (Stockman)
Flap (Cheyenne)
Flap/Handwarmer (Long Halfbelt)
Corded Flap/Handwarmer ( Halfbelt Deluxe)
Excellent jacket. I've been considering one of these myself so seeing it on a real person definitely helps. Now to decide between a Wayfarer or Teamster. Can you tell me the back length on your 44 and your height? Also, does this have a drop front where it's longer than the back or is it even...
USA. Looking for a second hand size 40 Bootlegger or Highwayman (zip sleeve preferred) in Brown Steer. Open to FQHH as well. PM with what you have. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback gents. That was a completely dry bash, I've since given it a misting and deepened the existing shape/crease/pinch. I was going to experiment with a completely different bash to make it look more casual, but you guys have convinced me to leave it alone for now.
Maybe it was beginners luck, but Im still not sold on the bash I did. I think the brim definitely needs some curving / shaping. But in my rookie opinion, the Squatter gives you plenty of crown height and brim to work with. Almost like it needs the shaping to take up material, otherwise it's...
