New to Forum - New Highwayman !
Congrats on the Aero. I have the 1940 A2, which is a slightly thinner leather, and I am still breaking it in. I would like to hear more about how long a FQHH takes to soften, as I hope to buy a Barnstormer this summer.- 1911 Man

Aero's US Rep
I will second (or third, or fiftieth) that Mark is exceptional to deal with. When I called him to tell him what I was looking for, he took my basic information, but then insisted on priority mailing some leather and knit samples so I could be sure of my decisions. I was glad he did, because I...- 1911 Man

Vintage Banana Republic safari jackets
Cabels on the other hand really does make quality outdoor gear. I live very close to one, and love to take my kids there just for fun. I loved the old safari themed BR, but noticed years ago a huge change. I didn't know they were bought out until now, explains a lot.- 1911 Man

The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
I am also inclined to feel a little non-symmetry is what gives our hats character. My latest hat is an Adventurebilt from Steve Delk. I had him bash it with a nice plain dress Raiders bash, no turn. So now as I wear it out and about, the hat will mold to my own personality, with swoops and... -

Aero 42-15142-P Type A-2, what size should I go with??
I love my Aero. My chest measures 38 exhaled and 40 inhaled, and I usually wear a 40R suit. I stand 5'10 and have a 31 waist. I also hit the gym regularly. I went with the size 40, and it is perfect, accommodates my shoulders, doesn't feel baggy. I think a 38 would have been too tight in...- 1911 Man

Mens Warehouse
I have bought 3 Jos Banks suits and one MW suit in the last 3 years. The JB are all much higher quality, and the sales staff and tailors were much better trained to fitting a suit to me. The MW suit was the most expensive of the three, and I only wore it two or three times. It was so poorly... -
Ideas on softening my A-2?
What if I want it softened, but not wrinkled? My Aero HH is very stiff, and I got it in jerky hide, but dont want it to get too much more wrinkly.- 1911 Man

Hat Fashion / ettiquette question
Hey, thank you all for the replies. Please forgive me, I was not attempting to bash (no pun intended) a burgundy hat. I'm sure it looks great. I have a black wool overcoat I wear with the suits, even when wearing burgundy shoes and belt, so I imagine the black hat would be perfectly fine. I... -
Hat Fashion / ettiquette question
Heh Heh, the only thing stopping me now is that I don't yet own the black fedora. lol Its on my list. But I was just planning for the future, and it occurred to me, even if they made a burgundy fedora, I wouldn't wear it :D But I figured there was a wealth of knowledge here, and I am a... -
Hat Fashion / ettiquette question
So if I am wearing a navy blue or dark olive green suit, a black fedora, and black shoes, I know that's ok. What about burgundy shoes? Can I still do the black fedora? -
What do you think of the Indiana Jones hats?
Remember that the "Official Licensed Hats" from the early 80's were made by Stetson, at a time when Stetson was much better than it is now (a few Stetsons even made it onto H.F.'s head in various Temple of Doom scenes). That contract expired shortly after ToD, and the Dorfman Pacific company... -

Paul's Hat Works
When it comes to the actual felt, there can't be that much of a difference. I've learned a little about felt hats over the last few years from the hat makers over at indygear.com. They will tell you all felt for hats comes from one or another of only a very limited number of suppliers (I think... -
