    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Vintage Aero HG5 - sort of a hybrid A2 Highwayman a collaboration between Aero and a business manager who gave them away to his employees as incentive bonuses - I believe. I found this one in a retro clothing store a few years ago in mint condition with a Julie L's white tab in the pocket.

    Leather Soles on Ice.

    Yaktrax - great product but just remember to wash and dry them before storing or the elastic a will perish. Ps take them off before walking on hard floors such as supermarket floors - feels just like leather soles in ice.

    Leather every time - as thick as you're comfortable with - have a search for USPS mail bag and check out that vintage design - worth copying if you've got a good leather worker on hand. Lots of firms do copies with zipped pockets but they usually miss out the seam piping and use thin leather. A...
