    Arrest made in Aero property recovery case:

    Hopefully one step closer to the Aero fire sale we've been waiting nearly a year for. Can we expect your courtroom tweets on the 6th Jan then?

    Unbranded Brand 21 Oz skinny-fit jeans (pic heavy)

    Interesting, and it's definitely a good price. I'd like to see jeans that heavy in person before buying, but places seem to be few and far between.

    4-6 weeks??? If only. If you lived literally round the corner from Chateau Aero it would be 4-6 months. Good luck anyway. I'm sure you'll love it.

    The last of the Stuarts!!!

    Very nice indeed and a great fit. Good buy.

    Reeks, you'll be fine with lightweight. It's not light in the sense of silk, but tougher than cotton and strangely cooler too. I certainly wouldn't want anything heavier. Weathered Grant is perfect for brown and cordovan, by the way. I have it in a couple of jackets and love it.

    ELC...I get it, now.

    Just do like women do and say it was a real bargain but you've forgotten the ridiculously low price. I'm always impressed by my wife's ability to kit herself out in quality labels that cost "next to nothing". I'm a bit disappointed that she can never find her credit card statements though...

    I always thought heavy horse was a euphemism for steer, based on previous events. Like Sloan, I'm not sure I'd want any heavier than the usual FQHH.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    Looking good Fanch. I just sold my woefully small Heavy Americans on eBay, losing half my money and 3 months wasted time. If there's a next time I'll go up two sizes.

    My correspondence with Phil Kalas from Horween regarding Chromexel

    Good and interesting response from Phil. Going back to what might have been your original point many pages ago, I just noticed some very light touches of brown coming through a 3 month old black FQHH. Can't say I'm bothered though, as it adds to the look.

    Alpha jackets owners, do they run big or small?

    Aerojoe, I meant so-called true to size was pretty huge, but I think these M, L etc sizes cover a couple of chest sizes. As it's a warm jacket, you probably won't be wearing more than two thin layers underneath, so XL should be plenty for you. I actually sold mine as I got a TNF McMurdo parka...

    Alpha jackets owners, do they run big or small?

    I had an Alpha N-3B and deliberately bought down a size as it was pretty huge. No way would I size up on that one.

    Video: Horween Leather Factory Tour

    I look forward to Sloan's report. The good thing is that he'll be asking questions knowing exactly what's of interest to TFL punters.

    My new Aero Dustbowl

    Very nice indeed. Colour, size, back and sleeve lengths?

    Advice on aero fit

    I'm with the OP on getting rid of it. If it doesn't feel right to him there will always be doubt and chances are it'll lie around or get flipped anyway.

    PSA- Oak Street Bootmakers release of the roughout Trench Boot

    These boots remind me of my Hawthorn IRs, without the toe cap, but these are a lot dearer. Dainite would be my sole of choice. More practical than leather, but less in-yer-face than vibram. I have only one pair with them, unfortunately.

    Horween Chromexel Steer not dyed all the way through

    Now we're back to you having ordered the wrong type of leather if it's colour-fastness you want. Please think seriously about goat, as you won't need to worry about fading and adding additives then. The rule of thumb is that if you've any doubt, things won't get any better and you'll end up...

    Horween Chromexel Steer not dyed all the way through

    I like the fading. Not sure where it'll end up though, but interesting. What do the middle two pics tell us?

    Ok Fred. Good luck to you anyway. Don't be shy with the pics.

    Horween Chromexel Steer not dyed all the way through

    I'd be very careful about your sleeve length then. I'm 5'11" and had 26.5" on my Teamster (previous regime) which were simply too long. I got 0.75" taken off recently and they're still pretty long. It also depends on the true shoulder cut/width, as if that's wide then you'll look like a gorilla.

    Horween Chromexel Steer not dyed all the way through

    I've noticed on the Insurrection thread that many (most?) sleeve lengths seem cut for riding, as the guys seem to be bunching up when they pose. They look overly long when when just standing, and God knows I like long sleeves.
