    Overseas Jacket Purchase

    Perhaps eBay doesn't recognize Yurawp as a real place. :p

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Pulled the trigger on a pair of White's Nomad boots. Thanks to the participants of this thread for providing a lot of 'inside' information about them. I guess in a few months I'll know what they're like in the flesh.

    Buzz Rickson A-2

    I'm not an A-2 guy either, although I think they are great jackets. Just not a big fan of knits, regardless how practical they might be for their intended function. I prefer leather cuffs and hems across the board. That said, I do like my black Langlitz flight jacket, but I don't wear it as...

    Do You Match Jacket Color and Clothing?

    Funny, I have a friend who is exactly the same way, with the same colors.

    The choice of Two Cafe Racers

    If Sheene > BR, send the BR back and get the Sheene. If BR > CR, sell the CR after you receive your Sheene, then use the $ as funds for the BR (the wife will be glad you have the money in hand AND you're not getting 'the same jacket you already have.')

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks. It was rather inchoate in my head, but when I saw 'Cuban curved heel' as the Standard heel and all the pics, it makes sense to me now.

    Iron Rangers or Wolverine 1000mi?

    Picked up a pair of Red Wing's for Brooks Brothers in Bison last week. Pretty much look like Beckmans. Half size larger, perfect with thick socks in the winter. Wore them for the third time today, and very happy.

    What do you wear in the winter??

    In Texas, it only gets sub-freezing very few times a year. I can wear a wool peacoat or overcoat, or any of my leather jackets with a light sweater, and it's all good. I travel to Chicago a lot, so that's when the silk underwear, Under Armor layers, etc., come out. I wore a 3/4 leather jacket...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Looking to get a pair of White's Nomads from Baker. For heels, they offer the block, ranch packer and standard. Can anyone explain (or just point me to some pics) on what is the difference between the ranch packer and standard? I've googled ranch packer and looked at a lot of pics of what I...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Those look great. Get them through Baker's, White's or a stockist?

    Issue with my new Aero Leather Long Half Belt?

    I find the scar on the hide less troubling than the apparent attempt by some party to 'cover it up' poorly with a marker of some kind. If this were a sale item, a 'second', a used item, etc., it might make sense but my understanding is that he bought a new jacket from Aero through a retailer...

    Kick ass jacket; fits great!

    First Aero purchase....looking for longer length coat with button front....

    Sounds like you're thinking of going through Thurston. Definitely leverage a test jacket to determine if a custom arm/body length will be necessary. I'm 5'8" and standard jackets are usually at the cusp of being a tad too long in the body and almost always too long in the arms. A test jacket...

    Calling on all AERO "Happy Days" Jacket owners...

    What some forums do is create a table of models/sizes based on manufacturer along with the year. Basically, people crowdsource the information and the original post is continuously updated with the latest and greatest info. Perhaps this is something someone on TFL could take up, perhaps...

    battered aero hides

    I actually have a new Johnson Leather's in cream suede, but won't be wearing it until probably Spring (or sooner if I travel someplace warmer/drier). I have a motorcycle jacket (café racer style) coming shortly in black kangaroo. I'll post that up when I get it!

    battered aero hides

    Did you dump your brown Langlitz flight jacket?

    shrinking aero anyone?

    When some people confess a problem, many will hear it and offer to jump in with possible 'solutions.' The quality of these solutions, of course, will differ wildly in quality (cf. "how do I get smoke smell out of my leather jacket" threads). Other people, feeling clearly that no solution...
