    My first A-2 Jacket : Bill Kelso Dubow 27798, Liberty Seal

    The A-2 can be a very difficult jacket to get a great fit with, but you've done. Very nice!

    FS: Lost Worlds J.A. Dubow B-3 (40)

    You are at least wearing underwear during the fit pics, right? Just asking for a friend. :p

    Sleeve lining question

    I had my Aero Teamster lined with quilted in the body and sleeves. Great combo in the cold.

    Johnson Leathers Horween 4 oz Black overdye Custom size 42 / 44

    Wow, I really like that design! Too big for me(I'm a 40), but that is cool enough that I would consider having JL make one in my size. I think goatskin would be an excellent hide choice.

    Gustin’s new L4 in Horween Horsehide

    I like it - esp. for the decent price. I'm between sizes in Gustin shirts, but the Medium in this jacket seems like it would fit me pretty well. Also has an interior pocket which can be tough to find in vintage jackets. As Bfd70 said, I'd really prefer a bit more length. Still, a nice looking...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    ^^ I think even a .5-inch variation is very tough to produce when dealing with the thick hides that most quality jackets are made from. It's just not realistic that to expect to spec out a leather jacket in the same way you would a wool suit. I check out the Simmons Bilt website from time to...

    The Real McCoys '30s Cooper Jacket in "Black" Horsehide

    IMO this is by far your best-fitting jacket. The length is perfect for this type of jacket and your height.

    Thoughts from the pros regarding this Fine Creek would be appreciated

    My concern wasn't the shoulder width, it was the p2p. Fine Creek runs small and a 20-inch p2p would be tight for a size 38 and about right for a size 36. You normally want 3-4 extra inches around the chest. You say you're 5'8, 175. Unless you have tree trunk legs and a very thin upper body, I...

    Thoughts from the pros regarding this Fine Creek would be appreciated

    I'm 5'9, 170 lbs. with a 40-inch chest and this jacket would be too small for me. I have a Fine Creek in size 42 (Type 1) and it fits me great. I need 21 - 22 p2p and would think the same for you. Fine Creek makes a beautiful jacket that shows wear very quickly.

    Colchester Rubber Co.

    I recall seeing something about these sneakers before. Basketball was invented in December of 1891. Is it really possible that a company started to produce a basketball-specific sneaker by 1892? They look pretty cool, and it's a neat story but sounds like marketing spin to me.

    Rebel Mens Wear and Accessories?

    I bought a white Sashiko shirt from them. Quite nice quality. It took at least 4 weeks for delivery from China. They were quick to respond to emails and sent a tracking link. They sent me complete measurement specs and I ended up taking an XXL in their shirt - and I'm a size 40 chest. I wouldn't...
