    Pictures of your goat (and is it right to use FQHH for an A2?)

    Loungers, I am contemplating ordering an Aero 38-1711-P Type A-2 in seal goat (with rust knits) but I'm trying to get a sense of what the hide would look like. Anyone who has some pics handy of any Aero jackets in that hide, please consider posting here: apart from me, it would be useful to have...

    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    Be sure to post pics of the 30s HB, Gambetto. I am thinking of ordering the very same. Sir J

    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    Lovely barnstormer. Do you find it heavy? Sir J

    My new Aero A2-38-1711-P in FQHH - 2nd (and final) try.

    Excellent. Very tempted. I think that will break in beautifully. SJ

    Great Aero pics

    if you haven't seen them. Probably beat those on the Aero site: http://www.original-flightjackets.com/shop/Brands/Aero-Leather:::16_45.html SJ

    Red Wing chelsea boots

    They should do it here: http://www.classicredwingshoes.co.uk/ Or here: http://www.sonofastag.com/ Both great shops, by the way. SJ

    Red Wing chelsea boots

    I agree about the Blundstones. I wouldn't buy them again; I just used to wear them when I was a kid in Australia. Likewise, I have owned RM Williams but probably wouldn't purchase again, partly just because most of their soles are all-leather and wear down very quickly. Red Wings and Wolverines...

    Red Wing chelsea boots

    Thanks for this, Jan (and good to hear from you). Any chance of seeing them foot-mounted? You make me even more inclined to go for them. Are they at all hot to wear? They struck me as more of a spring-summer Red Wing than the Iron Rangers (which I am enjoying wearing). They partly appeal...

    Red Wing chelsea boots

    Does anyone own a pair? Wondering how they fit. (I am told quite loosely.) Have a look. They're a desirable boot, I find, although seemingly rare. SJ

    New Half Belt from Aero

    Nice jacket indeed. The body length is right -- it's a 30s style. Personally, I'd prefer slightly longer arms. SJ

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

    I'm wearing my modified M422A, and it's inside. SJ

    Flashman, I don't have one! I am awaiting one. SJ

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

    Flashman, it's a great jacket, and I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it for years. It is very exciting getting a custom-made leather (all the more so when it turns out to fit as desired) -- hence the slight problem a few of us here have with addiction to the things. SJ

    Good Wear Ventura (Modified)

    Lovely jacket. One of those is on my wish-list (although it's very much like the Aero 30s HB, no?). You seem to get a great fit on your Goodwears. Do you mind if I ask whether you had your measurements taken by a tailor, or how you did it? I have an A1 from John on order. SJ

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

    I agree. It's undistinguished, even ugly. For Russian billionaires shopping in Paris, I think. SJ

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

    Another A1: http://www.chapal.fr/CHAPAL/index1.html The most expensive so far, I think. Coincidentally, someone else has just posted about the brand. SJ

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

    The trick is to find a job where you can wear your leathers every day. (I take it you are forced into a suit and tie?) I wear mine (how else to age them properly?) and am either oblivious to strange looks or aren't getting any. SJ

    Custom Aero 1930s Slim Fit Halfbelt in Russet Goat - Pictures!!!

    I love it. I'm interested in the double zip pockets. Is this to accentuate the vintage look? SK

    How do YOU break in a new jacket?

    I hear that at Aero they used to tie a jacket up with string and use it as a football if they wanted the broken-in look. The best thing, though, is just to wear the hell out of it. Or go to war in it -- the way they used to do. I'm strange in that I sometimes welcome rain because I can walk in...

    Coffee, grind your own?

    Steve, why is the container supposed to be opaque? SJ
