    London winter: how warm a leather?

    Loungers: rather belatedly, I'm trying to decide on a leather jacket to order that will keep me toasty through the winter in London. I only recently seem to have conceded to myself that ordinary leathers are not actually very warm; no wonder I feel warmer in my peacoat! My question is what...

    Nice threads. Dig the suit.

    Whitefeather Mfg. 1930s car coat

    No response to email to Whitefeather. Difficult to tell whether they're still operating.

    Whitefeather Mfg. 1930s car coat

    Thank you – very nice indeed. Happy with it? Any fit pics? And did you end up finding the cinch straps in the back useful?

    Whitefeather Mfg. 1930s car coat

    A Vienna jaunt might indeed be the way to do it. Bit galling because I was only recently in Berlin.

    Whitefeather Mfg. 1930s car coat

    Yes, am trying to diversify my collection and this could be just the ticket.

    Whitefeather Mfg. 1930s car coat

    Thanks, all. Fanch, got a link to pics of your Mulligan at all? Not sure what Victoria HH is. Anyone know any more about Fardin's story? Very few pics or info online.

    Whitefeather Mfg. 1930s car coat

    Hollows, wow, thanks for flagging this up. Tried to PM you but your status on the FL might be too new. This is a beauty and could be a solution for me: I'd been tossing up between one of the Aero car coats, none of which I'm completely happy about, and saving up for a few years for the...

    M-422A pic thoughts (pics)

    Thanks, chaps. Does feel a bit loose to me, especially around waist. I could be between sizes, a 41 – ouch! Wdw, will get you those measurements. Btw, I also PMd you about your Work Coat experiences.

    M-422A pic thoughts (pics)

    Hi loungers. Sorry, that should have been "fit thoughts", not "pic thoughts". Aero kindly sent me an M-422A fit jacket. I almost always take a 40" but this is a 42" because of the trim fit of the jacket. What do you reckon? I think it's a bit loose, especially around shoulders, but I suspect...

    ELC SHOW IN LONDON STARTING 17th of NOV. Who is going?

    I also if not already bankrupt by that stage. Should we loungers exchange a secret symbol? Maybe a jacket-rubbing motion?

    Mouton collar agony

    Pretty tempted to go M-422A. Look at this gorgeous specimen I tried on today at Real McCoy's (actually an ANJ4 but they are very similar).

    Mouton collar agony

    Hi Edward. London cold, primarily. So, not Arctic. But I find eg my Maxwell with mouton lining doesn't really keep you very warm; it's almost just like wearing a thick plaid shirt when you consider that the thin wool layer is all that's doing the insulation. I've found that I was just putting up...

    Mouton collar agony

    Ken at Aero has suggested a stripped down workman coat with mouton, instead of a Maxwell. Could be cool. Bit of a gangster look.

    Mouton collar agony

    Nice find indeed. Interesting history in that jacket, no doubt.

    Mouton collar agony

    You're right. The Original Herc is pretty swish. Have lately been thinking about a Premier Maxwell with mouton. God, and I thought my indecisiveness was in remission!

    Mouton collar agony

    That's very nice, Thor. I was sort of thinking along those lines. Above what sort of temp does it become too warm?

    Mouton collar agony

    Very nice, jacket. I was turned on to the idea of mouton recently when visiting Real McCoy's in London and trying on their M-422A. I suddenly realised: mouton's warm, and it rocks!

    Limited Edition Himel Bros avail. at Orvis?

    The Canuck is the bee's balls when it comes to that kind of coat style, I believe. Cooler than the comparable Aero offering somehow. Am thinking of buying one but would have to sell another child. I suspect they will come down in price when Himel achieves better economy of scale. Still, I...

    Mouton collar agony

    Hi loungers. Predictably, it was pointless trying to give up my leather jacket habit. I'm back! What I want now, for the encroaching colder weather, is a trim-fitting Vicenza leather Aero with a mouton collar. Mouton is in again (or soon will be)! I've been tossing up all sorts of ideas...
