    Do Aero Jackets Run Large?

    Work with Amanda and trust her judgement.

    Pulling the trigger on another Aero...

    Looks great. How warm is the hide? Put another way, at what outside temperature does the jacket become too warm to wear?

    No plans to acquire or ride a motorcycle anytime soon. I am interested in hearing about other mid-weight leathers. Anyone have experience with seal brown jerky? Thanks.

    Pulling the trigger on another Aero...

    I have had my FQHH LHB for a couple of years and I love the jacket. The more I wear it the bette it looks. One of the things that I really like about the LHB is the ability to dress it up or down. It is extremely versatile. For several years I have been developing an interest in a Cafe...

    A peek into what happens in the digital age in a small town when people can remain anonymous:http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/20/us/small-town-gossip-moves-to-the-web-anonymous-and-vicious.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&ref=us

    I am 6'2", a solid 240, been shooting for 40+ years and there is no way I would shoot a scandium 44 recreationally. I have a 44 mag S&W with a 3" barrel and Hogue grips and the recoil is not bad at all. However, that same gun with the scandium frame is a monster. If I were backpacking in bear...

    I don't think I have ever heard that articulated so well. Thank you.

    Adjusting to small town life.

    Been thinking a lot about this thread. I guess my take on small town living is that it forces you to act appropriatly. If you want to be a part of the community and be respected there is no room for arrogance, or being cocky, or gossiping or anything other behavior we associate with declining...

    Adjusting to small town life.

    If you didn't know where those stores were back then you would probably have a hard time locating them today. However, through Main Street and some Historic Preservation grants they are in the process of restoring the faces of many of the buildings back to how they looked back in the day...

    Just found this. My hometown, probably in the early 70's. Brought back a lot of memories of growing up in a small town: http://youtu.be/Tm3LjWbHCGw

    Adjusting to small town life.

    Born and raised in a small town in east central Indiana with a population of about 4,500 residents). We didn't have thugs back them but there were certainly bullies (much tougher than the small town thugs today). Everyone knew who they were and just tried to stay clear. Outsiders were welcome...

    Officerbob, I am a big fan of the S&W Model 42's with the internall hammer. They still make the J-frame but not in that beautiful blue. I have a K-frame 44 Mag with a 3" barrel and I am amazed how accurate the gun is. Nice collection

    Whats happened to Filson !

    They were bought out a few years ago. I think their traditional tin-cloth and wool products are still very high quality. No idea about their newer stuff. Give them a call back. Maybe you had a new rep on the phone that was having a bad day.

    I know there were many casting clubs back in the day but I just assumed they were long gone. Please tell me about your local club. JDG

    Briefcases

    I have one that I have been using off/on for a couple of years. Found it on eBay. It's definitly a stout piece of gear. The heavy leather is VERY stiff but it's actually a pretty light bag. I don't need to carry a brief case every day so it's been a little slow breaking in but it just keeps...

    cotton drill lining - a question to JanSolo and anyone else with the know-what

    I ordered my LHB with the wool Common Ridding lining, which I wore for a year then returned it to Aero and ask them to replace the lining with the "bottle green" drill lining (which is more of an olive color). After wearing the re-lined jacket for a year I think the drill is a much more...

    Pipe Smoking

    Ok, the next step: pouches for carrying tobacco and pipe stands. How about sharing some advice and photos? I did buy a pouch today. I've been alternating between "Devil's Holiday" which comes in a tin and Vanilla Black Cavendish which comes in a plastic bag. The tin is cool, as is but I got...
