    Any other photos of that custom Aero Hudson? How's the sleeve width compared to a regular 30s HB?

    HWT on Mouton Collar

    Just curious of the end result. Has anyone done a hot water soak on a mouton collar to shape it and set into place? Good / bad / ugly?

    AERO One Off Halfbelt - Jacket Porn - Pics!!!

    Hmm, I might be going against the grain here but I like the original better. It seems like the new jacket was built with mini-me cuffs that just don't look proportionate

    Goodwear / Diamond Collaboration is live... at intro price

    Everyone wants to sue everyone to claim they came up with the idea. When in reality the human body can only influence a finite number of patterns based on two arms and one upper torso. Everyone is just tweaking patterns from old historical jackets and adding a 1/4 inch here or there and calling...

    Aero HWM - Steerhide - Cordovan

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually prefer CXL steer instead of horse and don't ride. Just casual jackets. That being said, the CXL steer varies in weight from hide to hide. My black steer is noticeable thicker than my brown jacket which is really soft / flexible. Also, the...

    FS - Long HalfBelt - Burgundy Steer

    I'm usually 38-40 depending on the maker / individual style cut. Best to go off of the specific shoulder and pit measurements though.

    FS - Long HalfBelt - Burgundy Steer

    Selling a vintage burgundy Schott (made in USA), thick steer hide Long Halfbelt style. No tagged size but measurements are as follows: Pit-22.25, Shoulder 18, Back 26.25, Arm 25.25. Definitely a slimmer fitting jacket than Aero's design and the sleeves are also much trimmer/ neater. Cotton...

    Thanks for the visuals. Confirms I'm a boring black on black guy.

    Mouton Collar on Black Leather - dark Brown or Black?

    Any opinions on how a dark brown mouton would go with a black leather jacket? Photos? Or just play safe and stick to black on black?

    Goatskin Jacket Photos?

    I was actually eyeing that same jacket earlier in the day but I need a 42. That one would have been skin tight on me!

    Goatskin Jacket Photos?

    Any thoughts on how a Black goatskin half belt would look with a black mouton collar? Fully lined in moleskin, might make a nice winter coat.

    Ideal Shoulder Width?

    Got it. That's what I've been doing, factoring in the delts since I've been rowing. Just wanted to make sure I was getting a neat of fit as possible. THanks

    Ideal Shoulder Width?

    What's the ideal shoulder fit? From the should bone to bone point or the outside of the shoulder muscle itself??

    Goatskin Jacket Photos?

    How about sleeve length in goat, does it shorten up more than CXL steer / horse? So if I know my steer/horse length is always 26" would the goat need to be longer? And how would goat react to hot water soaks?

    Goatskin Jacket Photos?

    Great photos. Fanch - on the Pioneer, has the seal goat aged/developed at all or is it basically still the same just a bit softer? Really nice Maxwell in black goat! Digging that look. How do you think an action back (bi-swing, Half Belt deluxe style) would look in goat? Would it sag too much...

    Goatskin Jacket Photos?

    Looking for any / all photos of jackets in Seal Goat or Black Goat. Vintage or newly produced, doesn't matter. Just trying to get ideas of how it drapes on different styles. My previous jackets are all thick steer / horse which is a different look. Thanks

    Black Hide Choice - Goat vs Jerky Horse vs CXl Steer

    I was leaning that way, thought it might be too busy/crowded with the chest pockets. Now I need to think of what back yoke would match the best? and which hide would suit this the best?

    Black Hide Choice - Goat vs Jerky Horse vs CXl Steer

    Probably AL for this one since I need to modify alot. Not too long, maybe 27.5 so it hits halfway down on my jeans front zipper. I did some creative photoshopping and came up the two options. Which looks better??
