    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    As far as I understand it, this derives from the movie The Fly, with Jeff Goldblum. His character, Brundle(Fly) ascribes his clothing choices to Einstein. From the thread on Einstein's leather jacket sale, I think we have some evidence that he did indeed vary his clothing. I think A-1 has got...

    Is there a line and, if so, how/where do you draw it?

    I had a CD and book problem and have gone down the digital route. I do not really miss CDs but do keep some nice hardbacks. I do miss album covers and especially gatefold sleeves. Maybe time to re-invest in a turntable a few select albums on vinyl?

    Is there a line and, if so, how/where do you draw it?

    My purchases are a bit scattered, and are largely driven by curiosity facilitated by the access the internet has given to items that would have been very difficult to source a number of years ago. I try to limit things by having only one example of each item, so one tweed coat, one wax, one...

    Limited Edition Himel Bros avail. at Orvis?

    Before things get out of hand, perhaps we should chip in to buy some examples of jackets from different manufacturers. We could then pay an objective expert to try to tear them and measure the straightness of the seams and, particularly, zips. Bill Kelso could do the tests as we already know...

    Limited Edition Himel Bros avail. at Orvis?

    I really like the look of Himel's jackets but if I do a 'years left to live' against cost ratio, they just do not work out for me. However, if anyone has a used Himel in 46 for sale, let me know. I feel the same about the jackets from the makers in Japan. Pictures of them actually give me a...

    Chapal made to measure

    $4000 plus flights and hotel. Gives some context to other makers on here. I was hoping that someone with a better memory than me would chime in. I am sure Chapal have been mentioned on this forum but were no where near as expensive.

    My favorite riding/driving gloves

    I have a pair of Churchill Maverick, deer skin lined with thinsulate. I used them quite a bit when driving and they still look great. http://www.jrcglove.com/

    Chapal made to measure

    https://www.permanentstyle.com/2016/09/chapal-made-to-measure-leather-jacket-paris.html An interesting blog post about Chapal made to measure. The leather in the main picture looks really good. Give some context to other MTM and MTO options.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    'You've either got or you haven't got style' and Worf, you have it, in abundance. It does not look pistachio to me either.

    Aero VDR or similar

    @Clipper, I have a Premier work coat in dark seal Vicenza that I might sell. It is a 46 but as it is a slim pattern it would probably fit like a 44 in other jackets. Let me know what you think

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    The Calders and all the staff made for a welcoming visit. Some of the staff were on the workfloor and were happy to discuss what goes in to sewing up an Aero. The smell in the factory is just gorgeous. It was fairly busy but well mannered. The biggest hassle was getting some mirror time. I came...

    My new pair of Aeros.

    Great jacket from some impressive research. Aero should add it to their line and call it 'Carlos'.

    Barbour International in Horween Steer

    Is this one of the Simmons Bilt/Alexander/Barbour/Triumph collaboration? I had an old wax cloth International but decided to stop wearing it when I was in the queue at Tesco along with quite a few other Internationals. That trend seems to have tailed off and I see many fewer around.

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    I suspect that given the way most on here (me included) fret about details, it may not be just that fast paced. Out of interest, a general question. How far would you compromise based on the price? For example, when I first decided to go it was in the hope of 30's half belt or nothing. Now, I...

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Having had time for a more critical review of the list, there are probably only 5 jackets that might fit me. I am just looking forward to taking some time out of the quotidian and, if I pick something up, that will be a bonus. Any of the customers attending will be far too cool for a Black...

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    I have done a quick excel sort of the list and have narrowed it down to 29 jackets to try on. Seems to be a wide range of sizes so should be worthwhile for anyone going.

    Why are people often saying, that denim-jackets have to be worn open??

    Hey, here is a way that might make this thread worthwhile. It is a charity called Jeans for Genes where you wear Jeans to work and donate to charity. The charity raises funds to improve the lives of children with genetic disorders. They actively recommend, double, triple and quadruple denim...

    Bill's Khakis Sale

    Fanch, thank you for the help and the contact with Mizbb. I have received an email from her and immediately have a good feeling about this. I have a long back and short legs for my height and struggle to find trousers with a long rise. I have ventured down the MTM, and even bespoke, routes...

    A1 from Aero

    I agree with AdeeC - the angle of the photograph does make the jacket look slightly strange. This picture is much better and If I had that jacket I would be happy with the fit. I also think the pockets are fine. This might sound odd but in the past I have found that the pocket flaps take a bit...

    Bill's Khakis Sale

    It looks like Mizbb may not ship to the UK but I have emailed to request the possibility. Her history of sales looks very good.
