I didn't win that one, but I did win this Mallory Clear Nutria of a similar vintage, in what they claim is 7 5/8:

Yeah, I know fedoras go for more, but I sure am interested in seeing a clear nutria...
You don't think that collar is actual wombat fur? It is lower-case after all.
Electrified wombat is just such a great phrase. Like something out of a
Captain Beefheart song.
Fantastic jacket. Very much appreciate the photos. Wear it in good health.
As for opinions... the only one that matters is yours. Sometimes it seems like
people are looking for reassurance or to be told what to like here. You ordered a
custom jacket and got what you ordered. Congrats.
I...
Mostly the leather jackets I've seen are dismal. I believe I have literally seen two
Aeros on the streets of the Bay Area and not much else. The occasional Johnson, usually
on a cop. Anyone catch the Black Keys on Colbert? That was an interesting red suede
half belt:
They both appear to...
lol
I bicycled hills for over two hours today. But that doesn't seem to offset the beer and the oxtail sandwich...
I owe you some new boot pics. Where did you decide we are posting boot pics?
I was wondering if it was some kind of sealed goatskin. I gotta get me a goatskin jacket some time.
I think I will not buy one for a while, though, since I just bought two.
Mark is getting better and better! Nice.
Could be! I don't think he had any others in stock. Glad they were my size (in fact if not in marking).
I do think he plans to make more. These might have been overstock from
the unnamed Japanese retailer, once the exclusive deal was over.
I find the heavy nylon lining weirdly pleasant...
Here's the black one, in my usual craptastic photos:
Look carefully at the small pocket in the last picture and you can see the outline of the silver dollar.
I have matching 1922 silver dollars in each of these jackets. From my grandmother- the year of her wedding.
Nice LW d-pocket.
I decided I like my brown Johnson d-pocket so much I picked up the other, matching one they had
in the same Horween horse, in black. Matching pair for a lot less than one of those shoe leather Aeros.
A better idea of what the leather looks like:
Nice boots.
I started a similar thread (that didn't catch on) a while back:

I have Viberg boots, four pairs of Wescos, and a pair of White's dress toe boots. I also have a pair of Allen Edmonds dress boots.
I think what you are looking for is something like the Allen Edmonds. The Whites would do, too, but they are real boots - a lot
heavier than what that guy has on...
