    Inside Pockets ? - One - Two - or None ?

    The line can definitely be noticeable, so my choice would be to avoid unless you definitely need something secure. I've gone for one inner rather than two on my second Stockman, as I've found the second pocket to be superfluous. I also wish I hadn't gone for an inner on my HWM, as the chest one...

    What belt to wear with a leather jacket?

    These Coronado belts look good. Shame they won't ship to UK or I'd get one. I have a couple from Equusleather in the UK. They make them to order, have loads of customisations and are the toughest, most solid belts I've owned.

    William Lennon spec boots

    Good thread. I've just put in a colour query to them as they seem better value than Red Wing and probably tougher. Update - they're sending me samples of black and hopefully cordovan (or something like it) for their Derby boot, so we'll see what that looks like.

    Can't seem to make up my mind... opinions needed.

    Looks great Worf. I definitely like the idea of a blue/green for me if Aero ever come up with one.

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Carrie, it's clear that you guys prefer the neater fitting look, so when you say you size down, do you mean only the chest and shoulder widths? I get the impression that your Aero body lengths and arms are longer than the standard chest sizes you offer. In simple terms, are your Aeros...

    New Aero Highwayman

    It's ageing (slowly) nicely. They're great new, but even better once they've been knocked about a bit.

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    Good point Fanch. Surely DD's buttonholes, very nice as they are, are overly-complicated from a production point of view. How much would they add to time and cost? Is he charging Rolls Royce prices? There are of course other subtle differences, but others can comment on those.

    Very nice. Refreshing to see a change from the usual suspects.

    Curious

    If that's the same evidence section that has the 40 or whatever liberated hooky jackets, it must be some size by now The sooner the non-storse jackets come back on the market and reduce waiting times the happier we'll all be. Don't suppose you'd tell us the total number of jackets held...

    Wool tartan lining

    Yeah, it seems people might have misconceptions regarding the lightweight wool. To me it's light and cool, more so than cotton, and absolutely nothing like a woollen jumper.

    Wool tartan lining

    If cotton drill is like the black stuff I had in a HWM until I swapped it over, then I'd say the lightest weight wool tartan is cooler and probably harder wearing. I'd also say moleskin was tougher than either, albeit warmer. I have two Weathered Grants and think it looks great with...

    First Proper Leather Jacket

    I agree with eggleman and Fanch. If you possibly can, it's definitely worth the effort and cost to go up there and try some out for yourselves. They always have plenty of HWMs lying around for you to try on. The cost of a trip (in the UK) is nothing compared to the cost and disappointment of...

    LVC Menlo Jacket available again in UK

    Know what you mean about limp leather. Reminds me of my Belstaffs. I was doing some tree and hedge pruning in my FQHH HWM, like you do, and afterwards noticed some dents and scratches that would almost certainly have meant holes and tears in lesser hides. A bit of rubbing later and you'd not...

    How many years have you been at the same job?

    24 years, but luckily it's varied enough in content and location (if you want it to be) to stop you going up the wall. I've not actually done the exact same thing in the same place for more than about 2 years, other than 2.5 years as a dishwasher in Germany nearly 30 years ago.

    Attention UK members please

    Edward, they've cornered the market in Barbour Internationals in Edinburgh at least, sadly. Often en famille, like the pic above.

    Attention UK members please

    Sloan, that picture's an absolute classic. Nice legs all the same.

    Attention UK members please

    I'd say no problem at all if it's a standard plain coat. My wife and very style-conscious older daughter wear theirs with pride and it definitely still has snob appeal. They only wear it if rain is likely, though. Can't say I've ever seen a young guy wearing one.

    A Highwayman in the highlands

    Very interesting Fanch. Nice to see pics in real surroundings and not a garden or inside a house. Sounds like another gallery calling.

    Aero A2 38-1711-P in FQHH after 5 Month

    Fit looks great and the jacket's definitely improving with age.

    A Highwayman in the highlands

    Nice to see it back in its natural habitat. You have eerily appropriate shirts to complete the look as well.Just remembered I think you had long sleeves when new. They look perfect now. Either they shrunk a good inch or more or you had the scissors out.
