    CPO Shirts and Shirt-Jackets

    It's been about two years since I discovered heavy wool shirts, and by now I have a pretty good selection of them added to my wardrobe. When I was a kid, I couldn't stand wearing anything wool. Wool back then was always itchy on my skin, and I hated it. Somehow, either wool has gotten softer, or...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    I'm seeing 20something hipsters "rocking" an early 80s porn mustache, child molester glasses, Ned Flanders style lately.

    PPFF and the IRS

    I think an estimated "fair market value" is reasonable. Good quality leather jackets tend to hold their value over time. They lose a lot of their retail value as soon as they're sold as new, but then they don't depreciate all that much after that.

    PPFF and the IRS

    If you sell a jacket for more than $600, be sure to subtract your residual equity. Your income isn't $600, it's $600 less the value of the jacket, which is probably close to zero.

    Proof of concept : Aero "ready-to-wear" scanner / watcher

    I've also written to Aero to tell them these suggestions. I would be happy if they did the following things: * Tied your search/filter settings to your user account/session cookies, so that you don't have to re-apply the filters every time you visit the site. * Allow you to combine search of...

    Identify these pants

    A common thing that happens to me is that Facebook will serve me ads for fly-by-night Shopify dropshippers. Most of the time these are pop-up scam artists that buy a domain and setup a fake store with stolen pictures, and try to rip as many people off as they can until they get taken down by...

    I like it. It's a very simple and understated pattern, but very practical and works well.

    FS: Walter Dyer Cross-zip, Faded Brown sz. 42

    That thing is thick as a brick. As fine an example of a Walter Dyer as I've seen. When they put "Walter Dyer IS leather" on the tag, they weren't kidding with that one.

    Aero Bootlegger

    Apologies for lack of fit pics... I had a computer problem and am currently working on getting files off the old machine. So the older Bootlegger pics are there, and working on the old computer is tying me up from taking pics of the new one. Maybe this weekend.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Find. Aero Wayfarer in blue Vicenza. Size 42. $895. With the present exchange rate a new one from Aero is actually less. But a seldom seen model. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285017610238

    Analysis of Aero Board Racer tag sizes

    Right the average measurements don't matter. The measurements of the specific jacket you're looking at are very important. You can narrow things down by filtering for tag size, and these numbers can help identify tag sizes that may likely work for you. But you probably could have guessed that...

    Aero Bootlegger

    I'm not sure, to be honest. The new Bootlegger has zip cuffed sleeves, which is not the standard way Aero does the jacket. With zip cuffed sleeves, I would say that the sleeve does have more of a taper than probably the standard, but how the standard compares with the Highwayman sleeve, I'm not...

    Aero Bootlegger

    So far, I've owned three Aero Bootlegger jackets at various points. My first one was a very heavy black CXL, I forget whether steer or FQHH, but it was massively heavy stuff, 4-5oz, from the era when heavy meant HEAVY. It was a size 36, and I sold it because the previous owner had modified the...
