    Just ordered Aero Windward jacket

    Thomas, Great jacket and great pictures. If you wouldn't mind, could you take one with your arms up? It is difficult to see how the arms are cut. Congratulations.

    Brim-binding tutorial, with pictures, even

    I love it when you guys who have real ability (thinking of fishmeok here, too) try to explain these things as though I could ever do that... Looks very good.

    Proper relaxed A2 fit

    A good point. Since some of us pay upwards of $1000 or more for these reproductions, we don't expect a mass produced jacket that doesn't fit. We expect a very nice, comfortable jacket for that money. That may skew the pursuit of authentic fit, where authentic means impersonal. Being...

    Interesting Guide for Leather Care

    Interesting, but, er, idiosyncratic. The author doesn't actually recommend any course of action, though many are critiqued convincingly. The visual emphasis on lizard/alligator coupled with the text on leather was confusing, too.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Zelo de Cuba So no one has tried the Zelo de Cuba long-filler torpedos they have on one day sale at CI?

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I found myself staring at the stitching on that brim binding... wow. I will never be able to do that... Nice hat.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    It'd be tough to know how to defend one's self in a mugging. You give the guy what he asks for if he has a gun. I don't carry, but I always have pepper spray (mostly to defend my dog against other dogs). I will relax with a CAO Italia tonight, so I can make the A-B test. Probably...

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

    It's not nasty to say "throw it in trash" if it is trash. I don't know anything about Willis and Geiger, but I do think you should expect what you pay for here. That said, my response is, "no discussion of current eBay auctions", which is a rule here.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Had a CAO Brasilia last night myself. I was surprised by its spicy start and strong flavor. IC, you still find the Italia too strong? That Brasilia is somethng! Smoked in my cactus-secured back yard rather than my customary front steps, due to the fact that a guy was mugged, shot and...

    The BOX BRIGADE

    Knox Velour 20: Crofut & Knapp: I guess "the box" is my favorite kind of bow. Too bad it's so rare.

    Lee Fifth Avenue "Gold Label", "Beaver Nap", Fedora

    What a great hat! Reminds me of my Knox 20 velour, probably a contemporary competitor (note the ribbon): http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showpost.php?p=649134&postcount=14 I really like the more moderate fur finish on yours over the longer fibers some hats in this thread, like my...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Funny to see that hat in Tokyo. I gave my friend in Tokyo a VS custom Midnight Blue (wide brim) hat a couple of years ago. You're safe, though- he doesn't live in Tokyo anymore. So you have the only one AFAIK!

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I have some I bought for a restoration job I now realize is not restorable. For that matter, if anyone needs some material for a restoration job, this is a nice old (somewhat dog-chewed) peacoat... Let me know if you need a couple of buttons after all, or if anyone else needs parts.
