    New Budget M-65?

    Okay this is super helpful. I’m about to fall asleep but I’ll get back to you tomorrow.

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    Speaking as someone who has bespoken many suits, both two and three-piece, it's not the same thing. First of all, custom leather jackets rarely fit any better than RTW in the right size, because the nature of leather is fundamentally different to that of fabric. They usually do not even show...

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    People who get an expensive custom as a first leather jacket almost invariably look back at the thing a couple of jackets down the line and think "What a missed opportunity" (if not a complete POS) because everything from fit to design to material is off from mature preferences.

    Why do you need to spend a minimum of $1000 lol

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Yeah it went up like 300. I had hoped to order one to replace the Ridley Indian Ranger (which I didn't intend to be a Ridley). Doing it over I'd go black jerky over blackened vicenza though.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Yes it's kind of funny how the guy had him do a sort of old fashioned American half-belt instead of something more traditional to the region, but it's harder to do the half-belt so I think that speaks to his abilities.

    New Budget M-65?

    Okay! That makes things both easier and more interesting because there are a ton of field jacket options in different materials and fits which I think you'll like and perhaps find even more interesting than the M-65. What would you like to wear it with? Do you like to cinch in a jacket waist...

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Found his name and it turns out someone from TFL has gone to the same tailor. Beautiful work!

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    While I love co-respondant/spectator shoes, are you wearing them with evening dress?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    There's a lot of olive oil involved.

    Long (double) Riders?

    I think an important thing is for us to all abandon the "rider" terminology that originates in Japanese people who don't speak English. Case in point: even half belts are "single riders". Essentially it's an Engrish term for "Single breasted" and "double breasted", which is both more useful and...

    Long (double) Riders?

    Longer works better here. The design makes me think of things like Norfolk jackets and safari jackets, which were suit jacket length, so they cover the rear. The zippered side vents reinforce that belief.

    New Peacoat!

    I meant the one from Gieves & Hawkes.

    New Peacoat!

    Is this from their RTW line or was it made for a Royal Navy serviceman? (If the latter there will likely be a pocket tag with his name written in it.)

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Hopefully someone links him up with the VLJ guys. He'll get a better price (no eBay fees) and probably make some friends while at it.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Speaking of Polish makers, I was reading somewhere (maybe Styleforum) about a very traditional tailor there who still makes jackets/coats in the traditional Central European style of suits. I meant to save the name to pass along to you because that would be a cool maker to visit and get...

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    The quirks of makers can get weird. Arguably I'm bothered less by outright bad service though than when your order is changed for your own good, with the vendor thinking it's a service to you, as at least a couple of us experienced from a forum favorite Aero dealer.

    Aero Board Racer Leather help

    Jacket looks good but the shirt tail just makes me think maternity wear.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I've seen that guy's site before. It does come across as a personal project rather than some cash-in like those sites you get whenever you search a famous person or character's name + jacket. The question for me is where the quality lands given how low the prices are, but he doesn't seem to be...
