    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Nick, great looking boots, but a scary, scary price. I'm planning to get a pair of Wesco Boss next month when I'm in the US, and the 11" are working out at £260 at the current exchange rate. But I think I'll get the 16" ones as I prefer longer. I draw the line at the thigh length ones, though.

    In pictures: Aero Black FQHH Maxwell

    I like it a lot. It looks like it has white stitching, yes? Where does the fit/style sit in relation to the 30s and 50s HBs?

    Film Jackets

    I like that jacket and used to look at the FJ site a lot, where it was heavily featured. I bought the Belstaff summer weight version of that jacket at top dollar. Even then I thought it was heckuva thin and tissue-papery, then I discovered Aero and FQHH and finally realised what a total...

    It looks great. My own cordovan DB is my favourite jacket now.

    Very nice indeed, Fanch, and a great fit. It's good to finally see a Mulligan on the board.

    Aero highwayman Custom Order Help

    I'm with Fanch. I had a HWM and thought it was great at first, but didn't like the boxiness and the way the front sits higher. I sold it for a Dustbowl, which is a much trimmer fit, and am so much happier with it. It's now my favourite jacket.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    Thanks guys. I'm always nervous about Gustin sizing, but this worked. caffeinated, I was more nervous after your post, as you're an inch shorter than me and I feel your sleeves are maybe an inch on the short side. Mine's a medium too, but I must have shorter arms, luckily for me. I'd...

    Got my Olive Trucker today, and am pleased with it. For those in the UK, the collection fee was £29, so a total of £155 inc. delivery.

    Ventile

    Otter, I'm a complete Paramo fan. After ventile, I used goretex for years, sweating like a pig, until I discovered Paramo. It's in a different league entirely, hugely more breathable, versatile and much quicker drying, albeit heavier. The theory is you wear a layer less and wear all day, so...

    Ventile

    I hear you, Otter. I had a navy Survival Aids double layer ventile jacket in the late 80s. I'll never forget one winter walking up the Cairngorms in rain to above the snow line, then having it freeze like a board on me. That was a horrible, miserable day and the jacket took days to dry out...

    William Lennon spec boots

    Nice. I prefer that to the smooth hide I got on my first Derby's. My second ones have the burgundy full grain and I much prefer that look.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I had a couple of sherberts last night and backed the blackblacks. I seemed to move it up one percent. Still unsure of size, despite having two pairs from them now.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    For some reason I have an urge to get the Wesco Boss boots. Is there anywhere in the UK or even Europe that does stock boots? If not, I was just going to go with Big Black Boots in the US and accept the hammering on customs.

    Aero Captain America

    Let me jump on the praise Julie bandwagon. I've met her a few times now to discuss jackets she was making or had made for me. Her work is second to none and she couldn't have been more helpful or friendly whenever I was pestering her. It's good to see her get some recognition, as it's very well...

    Aero jacket length comparison

    I wouldn't worry about the weight of the longer ones. When I compared the weights of my short, medium and long FQHHs there was only 500g or so total range, and the Teamster was only about 300g more than an HWM.
