    Just a few questions...

    1. I've always understood the vent holes to function more to allow air out when you're putting the jacket on and wearing it (rather than trapping air and making the jacket 'balloon'). 2. Nah - you'll just look daft. 3. Capeskin isn't particularly strong - well worn/supple goat would do the trick.

    Aero Cow compared with Steer?

    If you went through what they do to steers you'd be pissed off Scott ;-)

    Cuffed Jeans

    Not for me - 30/31" inseam means that I don't need to look any shorter in the leg with rolls of denim at the bottom. Interestingly, did a very unscientific poll on campus today. Lots of young people, wide range of ages (most 19-25 bracket), cultural backgrounds. Plenty of denim on show, but...

    Cuffed Jeans

    Scott's going to be offended - took him an age to work that up... ;-)

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    Will do Bret, we know quality when we see it, however wrinkly ;-) You might want to drop a line to John Lever in case he ever lets his go. Cheers Ian

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    As I said before, aged hides aren't to everybody's taste, but this looks very convincing in the flesh. The biggest effect on the goatskin is to make it very supple (plenty of body, but excellent drape), which I've not encountered before despite having owned many veg tanned goat A-2s and an...

    No Scott, not 'no style', simply an 'individual style' ;-)

    Blimey, LVC has really nailed that goatskin.

    Nice Himel Check Heron

    Cuffed jeans are fine until the cuff consumes half your shin... An untucked shirt with a jacket is...ah...don't even go there... You're this far away from your trousers framing your backside and a cap worn sideways ;-)

    Nice Himel Check Heron

    Yep, call me tasteful (it's a curse)... :P

    Nice Himel Check Heron

    Yes, Edward - for me it's all wool or all leather (I don't get the mixed media).

    Nice Himel Check Heron

    Hmmm...not getting the clashing tartans (it was ever thus)...still looks like a rather expensive picnic blanket to me I'm afraid.

    Nor for me...

    Oh no...not a good look.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Hi Sorry for the delay. My .50 cal A-1 (size 44) measures out at: Pit-to-pit = 62.5 cm Front length = 59 cm Shoulders = 50.5 cm Back length = 65 cm (from top of back panel to bottom of waistband) Arm length = 65 cm (including knitted cuff) The shoulders are nippier than an A-2 with similar...

    Some one-off Aeros?

    I applaud the sentiment, to use up the stock, but I'm not convinced it works in this market, where the 'perfect' finish of the hide and flawless nature of the jackets is so often commented upon FL.

    You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person! I blow my nose at you, so-called Ah-thoor Keeng, you and all your silly English K-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-niggits! [makes taunting gestures at them]

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    No problem. They don't vary much - I've had three 44 (two R and one L); those I've had were similar. The waist is more trim than an A-2, but not nipped in like a G-1. Measurements to follow.

    Anyone know about Scully leather?

    Better without IMO ;-)
