R.I.P. cooncatbob :: Robert H. Smith
I never met him, but wish I had. Now that I've seen his work, I'm bowled over. He was within easy driving distance of me, too. Wondering what other impressive craftspeople we have here? Do we have a general craftperson thread on this site? I know we have one for art (and one for Art), but... -
Double leather (leather lined) cuffs
I assumed it would be standard on my FQHH Hercules, but it wasn't. The cuffs are wrinkling as fast as any other part of the jacket. It's okay, but not my preference. I suspect most heavy duty vintage jackets would have the double leather cuff (obviously excepting those with knits).- feltfan

First view of rare McGregor/David D Doniger AN-J-3 (size 40)
That's a nice jacket. Quality in every detail. I like those knits, too. Seems like a very thick capeskin? When is lamb skin or sheep not capeskin? Congrats on the fit.- feltfan

Derby Deconstruction
Nice work, Brad. Looking forward to seeing the derbies everyone must be working on now. I imagine some of those brim and binding techniques apply to homburgs, too? -

Wow. Wow. Wow. Look at that binding. The crown height... Sorry, did I drool on your hat? -
Abandoned Republic
At the prices on that RRL page, I could have that stuff made custom. There is a RRL store in London, but I admit that's still a long way from Euskadi. Hoping to see some of that at cut rate outlet stores some day.- feltfan

Won’t trade it for pure gold …
Gee, is gold really $24K/lb? So my Hercules' weight in gold would be worth around $190K? I am not *that* enthused with it. But you do have nice jackets.- feltfan

A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
Interesting. That jacket appears to have snaps all the way up, not buttons. Like a letterman...- feltfan

Yet another Aero Hercules
Wear it. Remember that motorcycle jackets are supposed to have longer sleeves. They are cut to cover your wrists when you are reaching forward for the grips. Thanks to all and here's hoping I didn't cost Davy Crockett too much money... I will post more pix as it breaks in. Right now...- feltfan

For me the sleeves are perfect. Remember that they will shorten as the leather creases.- feltfan

Yet another Aero Hercules
Possibly the last jacket Mark Moye sent out... I waited over 2 years for this. I'm not going to say it was worth it, but I do like the jacket. FQHH, made by Vicki. Customizations: hand warmer and flap pockets removed, internal "G1" pocket, HH label inside internal pocket, black cotton drill...- feltfan

DOBBS WEST {Open Trail}
Ah, thanks Brad. I was guessing 60s if for no other reason than the nice printing on the sweatband and the nice felt. Be interesting to know when Norman Sims closed. Just found this though: There's plenty of information on when Norman Sims opened in SLC and the new store in 1952, but I... -

Question of those that own Aero jackets...
Graemsay, yes I will... as soon as I find a photo hosting site I like. I don't like the changes to Flickr, so it's time for a new service with better URLs for the pictures.- feltfan

Not a problem on my Hercules. I bet the pocket flaps would, though... part of the reason I left them off.- feltfan
