    Who makes the best, strongest duck cotton work jackets?

    Woolrich has some really nice wool vests also, and not as pricey as Filson, but very good quality also!

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    Hey Schitzo - Jacket looks great, and a very nice fit. What size jacket do you usually wear? The size 42 looks like a perfect fit to me. I am thinking of ordering the Arkansas model, and wonder if I should order my true size or go one size up. Do these style jackets run small, or true to size...

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    All great looking jackets.:eusa_clap If you wanted any kind of modification done like handwarmer pockets or zip front I would think the AL version would be the best bet considering Aero does not want to do any major mods, although I did see a zip front Aeromarine on their Trainee made page. All...

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    Those button holes are really a nice touch. I do prefer the Aero and AL collar design over DD's though!

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    Whether you're an AL fan or not, you have to give them credit for fixing what some of the FL members thought needed tweaking and made a not quite right design better. I agree with HoosierD. about the pockets. Would be nice with some handwarmers, and for me a Half-Belt in back, and zip front...

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    Don't know if anyone noticed, but Alexander Leathers has improved their design on the Simmons Bilt collar. Looks more like the "shawl" collar style instead of the so called "Peter Pan" collar! Saw a brown one on their web site.

    Can't seem to make up my mind... opinions needed.

    Sunburst. Never cared for the A-2 design, but I do like the Sunburst and think it would be a much more unique jacket to have. How many A-2's have you seen out there, and how many Sunburst's? No contest!;)

    Practical alternative to M-1941?

    I really like the M-421, just wish it had some kind of lining to give a little more warmth/sustance!

    Latest ebay purchse - Bill Kelso M422 in goat .... 44"

    My brother likes his jackets to fit a little on the large side also, so to each there own. You have to make yourself feel comfortable. I had an old co-worker who once looked at my new work boots and thought they looked too big, comment to me - "So you take a size 9, 10's felt so good, you got...

    New Aero FQHH Half-belt arrived...Breaking in question.

    I have a 30's HB, and my brother has one also, and I probably have six or seven other leather jackets to choose from, but I think you can layer a sweater under a 30's HB jacket with it looking just fine. I live in western NY and 90% of the time I wear it, I layer with a sweater or sweatshirt. My...

    New Aero FQHH Half-belt arrived...Breaking in question.

    I have a 30's HB that fits like yours (in 3rd pic) and I went threw the maybe it will stretch phase. It will not stretch enough and you will wind up not wearing the jacket. Do yourself a favor and take Insurrections offer!

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    To each their own, but for my taste, I prefer the GW hands down. Just glad it is not my size because I have other fish frying in the pan!:)

    Maxwell v Teamster

    The Aero web page says that the Pioneer fits closer to the 50's HB than the 30's. Suppose to be what they call a 40's style, but closer fitting to the 50's HB jacket!!
