    The ultimate A-1?

    Dude, would love to see some pics?

    The ultimate A-1?

    That's a beauty, Devilish! Is that the more recent cape from GW? (Dig the hat, too.)

    The ultimate A-1?

    Wow, more jackets to covet from Bill Kelso... Is there a Betty Ford Clinic for jacket-heads?

    The ultimate A-1?

    CBI, thanks for the tip. Kelso duly added. It's rather nice. And capeskin. And slim-fitting: don't like the bagginess of some of the others. Kelso have spruced up their website, I notice.

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Hi Carrie. Have you ever had an Aero A-1 in one of the Vicenza finishes? The russet might look nice. Thanks, SJ

    The ultimate A-1?

    Thought I'd post pics of each of the major brands for comparison. I def want the green knits; have too many all brown jackets at mo. McCoy: Aero: Eastman 50cal: Eastman standard: \ Goodwear: Bill Kelso: It's really all about the leather with these jackets, isn't it? It has...

    Nick, like your style. Thanks the rest. Sloan, yes, did think about the Vicenza option with olive knits. That Shinki is serious beautiful, though. Possibly even more so than Aero's FQHH. I also have a lot of Aeros. I wonder who is buying the RM at £1,500. It's £500 less in Japan.

    The ultimate A-1?

    Loungers: been a while since I posted on the forum and I'm doing so now to seek your advice. I am sorely tempted by the Real McCoy's A-1 and keep visiting the London store like a jewel thief casing the joint. Question is: is it really worth the money? Or would an Aero, say, at less than half...

    Edward, if you could find a link, please do post. I looked but couldn't find. Could make good story. SJ

    Edward, the shelter is WW2. Looks as though it's been blocked off for years; mainly noticeable as a grassy hump in front of one of the blocks. Keep imagining opening it and finding types in wide-lapelled suits etc asking: "Is it over yet?" SJ

    Edward, I'm in Brixton, specifically Brixton Hill. (Others on the thread might vaguely remember an association with street riots a few decades back.) You're quite right: except it's post-WW1, so maybe interwar is better. Perfect for my sartorial style! Never thought of that. And speaking of...

    Rebel without a pause, Worf. Will try to post some more fit pics but in fact the jacket hasn't worn in all that much yet: needs a few more winters. SJ

    American Classics and Real McCoy in London

    Apparently so (or at least according to the since departed Jan Solo). I had Aero make me up a sort of bastardised M422A with olive kits (top jacket: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?62635-In-pictures-modified-Aero-M422a-30s-HB-Stockman), one of the many jackets I have let go –*don't...

    London meet?

    Thanks, Edward. Shall come along. I had been completely unaware of it. SJ

    American Classics and Real McCoy in London

    Tried on the A-1 again today. Thought about turning to crime. The leather really is beautiful stuff. They have a russet A-2 with olive knits that's also a jewel. I got the impression some serious leather heads had been trooping through that shop. SJ

    London meet?

    Anyone keen on a London get together? Could be fun to compare notes – not to mention jackets. SJ

    American Classics and Real McCoy in London

    Doesn't anyone else find it super-ironic that the Japanese fetishise WW2 American military wear? SJ
