    Coolest ever leather – ever?

    This jacket has been done to the point of cliche elsewhere, but still cool

    Ciano Farmer: New Fit 972

    Thank you Cyber Lip for your considered response. I have a pair with a lower rise but posted these on FL (rather that a denim forum) because they fall right in the middle of the Golden Era.

    Ciano Farmer: New Fit 972

    I thought these might be of some interest here. I had been going back and forward with Ciano to try to get a fit that I liked. I have a long back and short legs for my height. As a result I like quite a high rise. Ciano was very patient as the measurements I sent him from my LVC 1933 501 XX...

    CIANO Farmer Custom-Sized 18oz Chino Khaki - Review

    I have not posted in a while but I wanted to mention my experience. I have had two pairs of jeans, a pair of chinos and a third pair of jeans on the way. Ciano is great to deal with and has been more than reliable with me. I had intended to post some pictures but will wait until the new pair...

    Highwayman 3.5 months old

    I have tried to swear off FQHH but, whenever I see a jacket like this, that may be impossible.

    Matching your Leather Jacket and Shoes

    We are straying well into Style Forum territory here! I think like most things in life, too much is not good. Textures tones and contrast all play their part. On style forum we would be discussing 'a little sprezz' but my wife puts it more succinctly with 'um, too matchy matchy.' Good advice...

    Aero Premier Highwayman Seal Vincenza HH

    That is a great jacket. I like the button cuffs and the way the sleeve seams run close in to the yoke. I cannot imagine you would have a better looking jacket by going MTO. You get lucky sometimes.

    Aero size, style and fit

    They are all good looking jackets. The vicenza jacket that got wet looks the way a lot of people would like their jackets to look. As for matching, I think there is a very fine line between looking 'stylish' and looking like you are wearing an outfit that has taken a lot of planning. Nice...

    Aero LHB / Hercules with Button Cuff ?

    Although not exactly answering your question, this might be relevant. I love the look of button cuffs, so had them added to a custom barnstormer that I had made. It was not entirely successful as the profile of the sleeve took on a distinct carrot shape as the sleeve had to slim considerably...

    Aero Premier Half Belt - Vincenza Dark Seal

    Congratulations. that is a good looking jacket. I went for the dark seal Vicenza and think it is a great alternative to FQHH. I have not worn it much and it is showing very little signs of wear. It reminds me of a midweight Seal jacket I had that took a long time to show any wear but when it...

    Jacket guys/gals, what briefcase do you carry? Do you match or change bags?

    http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/jeremy-clarkson-and-richard-hammond-are-seen-on-january-10-news-photo/452991182 This is the sort of thing that I mean. The Chapman bags are excellent but they do many more colours than khaki. The one I currently have is a nice faded olive. It is...

    AERO or ALEXANDERS?

    Monitor, that is really constructive advice. The Vanson in particular looks fantastic

    Jacket guys/gals, what briefcase do you carry? Do you match or change bags?

    This is the bag I have been using for work for the last fifteen years or so. It is hand made from English Bridle leather by Henry Tomkins. http://htleather.co.uk. He does quite a range of briefcases and satchels. The satchels are made of thick supple leather that is very comfortable when...

    AL - Simmons Bilt!

    At the time of the Aeromarine/Simmons Bilt discussion I was prepared to give Alexanders the benefit of the doubt because there were a few Heron, Aeromarine, Aeronaut about. However, that Bermondsey is just taking the p*ss. I imagine that SA would have expected WL to bring experience and a...

    AL - Simmons Bilt!

    They have also listed some new designs. I quite fancy the 'Bermondsey' except it looks very similar to the Aero Work Coat I recently bought but without the small details that can lift a design out of the ordinary. I tend to agree with Devilish. I cannot believe that SA knew the source of the...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    It was a pair of shrink to fit LVC 501's. As soon as they arrived I took the labels off and soaked them. One of the rivets fell off the front left hand pocket. Very obvious as there are a few rivets around the pockets. Amanda replaced them without question. I have an LVC search set up on eBay...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I only noticed the account because a pair of 501's I returned to Amanda showed up on eBay. I assumed that this was a legitimate route to move on items that had been returned and could not be sold at full price. There are lots of legitimate factory shops on eBay. However, unlike legitimate...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    "But his comment in this thread was that of a self-righteous wind bag." Unusual as it was, the Mods here have put in a lot of work to build an oasis. The modern world encroaching is bound to generate tension.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Alexander Leather did post once. From memory it was around the time that the emailed every customer but left all the other customer's addresses in the address box. There was a member who appeared to have significant insight into the whole affair and it would be very interesting to hear some of...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    As we near the conclusion of the trial, I would just like to thank Sloan for his efforts and the time he has taken to update us. For the staff employed at AL I hope they do not go under. However, as I mentioned earlier they have to find their own identity. In a market where customers can pay...
