    Great looking jacket! LW can't be beat in terms of quality, workmanship and of course their incomparable leather! Enjoy your new jacket.

    Lost Worlds sizing - classified information?

    I've purchased 5 different LW jackets over the years; Stuart was always a consummate professional on the phone and in his prompt, concise replies to my e-mails. I gave him my height and weight and afew other simple measurements and he recommended a certain sized jacket. The jacket always fit...

    Aero Highwayman

    Wow, that is a good looking HWM and a great fit! I have a Schott 689H that I really like but would like to add a HWM to my collection. Enjoy!

    Only Angels Have Wings

    The Indian chief logo painted on the back of the jacket is the U.S.103rd Aero Squadron from WWI.

    Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?

    Wdw I busted out laughing with your posted "whipping a dead horse" icon! Thanks for the humor ! And how apropos to be referring to a dead horse in a thread about horsehide!

    Bought a Lost Worlds A2, is this wrinkling normal?

    Think of a horsehide leather jacket like the human face...both are organic with naturally occurring blemishes and some parts are more wrinkled, some parts are smoother, some places seem like the skin is thinner or thicker, but it's the subtle as well as the pronounced differences that make the...

    BK A-2. *w/pictures

    If the armholes are really tight or uncomfortable, you could ask BK if you could exchange the jacket for a different model or size? Perhaps different BK model A-2's have different armhole configurations and measurements. The armholes may loosen up and provide some give as the leather breaks in...

    Very cool jacket! LW does make awesome jackets with the best workmanship I have ever seen. Wear it in good health!

    Horween or Shinki- Whose horse is your pick?

    Hey Coffee, your post is dead on, IMHO (and your analogy is much clearer then the Spud Webb-Michael Jordan thing). Horween offers some great leather and in turn is crafted into the masterpieces of LW, Aero, Alden, etc.

    Sub $500 A2 jackets suggestions?

    The Cockpit in NYC makes a reasonably accurate russet brown horsehide and seal brown goatskin A-2, both under 500 clams. Check out their website and compare.

    You don't go barefoot, do you?: the Outerwear x Footwear Thread

    I have a pair of Wolverine 1,000 mile boots that go great with a russet brown A-2.

    Lost Worlds jackets.

    I have owned all the big-name repro A-2 jackets (ELC, Lost Worlds, Aero, Goodwear, Real McCoys, etc, etc) and in my opinion they all have their pluses and minuses, their benefactors and detractors; they are, after all, reproductions! No two people can agree on everything. In my opinion, and...

    LOST WORLDS Russet Color Horsehide - Any Advice?

    Photos don't always show the true color of leather, especially the russet brown tone. I own a LW russet brown A-2 and the color is PERFECT! Not overly reddish nor too dark or flat. LW is the ONE manufacturer who seems to have gotten the wartime Army Air Corps russet brown color right, IMHO.

    Bills Khakis . . . what do you think ?

    I agree with Oneterrifichog; Orvis offers some great khaki trousers at reasonable prices. Their wrinkle-free Ultimate khakis are a winner as are their Surf-washed vintage khakis.

    Lost Worlds Peacoat

    Remember that line from "Field of dreams": if you build it, they will come. Seems true of Lost Worlds.

    The Filson Thread

    Visited the Filson flagship store in Seattle last month; very cool stuff (I own a lot of Filson gear). Love their heavy duty tin cloth!

    Greetings Loungers! - Need some help with my next Aero!

    Aero will taper the jacket if your measurements call for it and you request it. Having a larger chest or wide shoulders and a somewhat smaller waist sometimes calls for a large size jacket to accommodate the upper body but with a slightly tapered waistband/side seams. Tell Amanda at Aero...

    Jimmy Stewart A2 "Wear" Picture

    I believe that some A-1 jackets were leather and some were wool.

    lost worlds

    I own (or used to own) everyone's jacket, from Schott to LW to Aero and Eastman. Schott is a nice, quality jacket. Lost Worlds is TOP notch. I'd rate Schott as an 8 out of 10 and LW would be a definite 10, IMHO. Their horsehide is THE best, the quality of workmanship, zips, stitching, snaps...
