    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I have the Boss with the commando sole, which I like a lot, but I'd also like a pair with the smooth soles like yours. RRL is never cheap in the UK, much dearer than the US, and I don't think I've even seen that RRL style on sale here. I do buy RRL shirts, though, as I've not found a shirt...

    Nice. How much were they?

    Early 1950s leather satchel

    I use this one from MacKenzie Bags, in oil-pull. It's obviously new, but has a simple classic style. Twice the price of your Satchel and Page one, but it's made by a real human only a few miles from me. As he's a one-man band, he's open to modifications. I see plenty of cheap, nice looking...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    PL, any bias I have is purely down to a good product and good customer service, as it should be. If I wasn't happy with them I certainly wouldn't be writing positive things here about them, nor would I waste my hard-earned money on them. I'm also positive about Gustin, Lawless, Lennon and...

    Aero 1920s Work Coat

    Cliff, it's a standard build with no changes. I already have larger coats in the Stockman, and if I'd gone larger this would have been just a Stockman with a fancy back. It's definitely a neat fit, and the pleat doesn't make much difference, so I'd send Aero your measurements including...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    Ok, I'll bite. As PL says, and I've said myself many times, I'm happy to use Aero as my manufacturer du choix for a number of reasons: 1. I got caught up in the storse fiasco and the new management did everything possible to sort things out to my satisfaction. 2. Whenever I visit the...

    Issue with my new Aero Leather Long Half Belt?

    Ok, it works with chrome, not IE. Is the scar actually a scratch that's been touched up by a darker colour pen or polish? It could have happened in the shop, as I'm not aware of any complaints of touched up items being sent out direct from Aero. It wouldn't worry me too much, as your jacket...

    Hi and welcome. Unfortunately your links aren't working, on my laptop at least.

    Absolutely perfect. Well done.

    Teamster back length

    My 40 Teamster came with what I thought was a standard back length of 28.5", but Fanch's cut down 42 was the same, so there seems to be some variety in lengths. I think mine looked similar to Fanch's from behind. As Fanch is only an inch shorter than you, I'd suggest maybe 28.5-29.5 as being...

    Shackleton vest

    My 40" Shackleton has a 20" pit-pit.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Be advised that the Amber Harness IRs are a perfect match for Aero chestnut Irvins and their battered brown FQHH. So the buying doesn't stop here, I'm afraid.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Looks very good on you. I like mine more than I expected to and also wear it a lot more than I thought I would.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Dav, you cant just stop there. You know that's not allowed. Looking good so far.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I just went same size and use thin leather insoles for comfort. I keep reading horror stories of long and painful break-ins with IRs, but I had none of that at all. I didn't notice a thing. I'm convinced it's because I went for the normal size and use the insoles.

    Lawless Denim

    My first order was on 5 November, when they claimed 6-8 weeks delivery, but that'll never happen. If you look at the Lawless board I guess it's nearer 10-12 now. They've been swamped due to the low prices.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I like mine too. They look ancient straight out of the box. Not for rain, though, which is why I quickly bought the Amber Harness as well.

    Aero Stockman at 2 Years - Detailed Pics

    Like you say, simply unbutton it. That was one thing I didn't like about the LHB, as if you forget to unzip you can split the zip, which I did.

    Teamster and dustbowl

    I had a Teamster and have a Dustbowl, but wouldn't say it was an either/or decision as they're both so different. One longer, one short, the DB much neater. I got rid of my Teamster to fund a Maxwell and would say that treads the middle ground perfectly.
