    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I have to say, this thread is actually making me want a new Aero jacket even more...

    Barbour Duralinen International Jacket

    I'll try and remember to take some photos this weekend. I must confess I haven't worn it recently, as it's been a bit cold. I've been giving the Aero Barnstormer regular outings over the past week or so though!

    Barbour Duralinen International Jacket

    Well, yesterday I wandered into the Barbour shop here in Manchester to have a look at the International Jackets and noticed a new, lightweight, version in a material called Duralinen. It's a mustard colour linen that they treat with a black PU (i think) coating, which gives it a very...

    Facebook anybody?

    I tend to use it for friends and colleagues. I tried myspace, but don't really have the time for it. Twitter looks interesting, to keep in touch with people on the move.

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    I got one a year or so ago with the heavy cotton drill lining. It makes it easier to wear more often in the (excluding this week!) relatively mild British weather. I find it's great until the weather gets really, really cold, then I opt for my wool/quilted Barbour.

    Any thoughts on Lewis Leathers?

    Hi there Bobjones! Ironically I've been in London the last few days, but nowhere near the Lewis Leathers shop. It's a very iconic brand for the classic biker enthusiasts, but sadly I never got around to taking my bike test so I can't really justify getting a 'full on' biker jacket from them...

    US Authentic A-2 sizing

    I'm a 48" chest and 5' 11.5" tall and I asked Shaul's opinion via the online form as wanted to get a 'roomier' fit, rather than the military style. I went with the 50" Regular and it's great, but the sleeves are much too long. Still, it goes well over a sweater in the winter. If it helps any...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    It is odd that it doesn't seem to specify the leather. I bought the A2 from them in seal brown horsehide, size 50R and I asked for side entry pockets (I know, I know, an offense against the A2, but I like pockets!) and ended up paying about $100 extra per option, which did hike the price up a...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    I bought the shoulder bag from Kakadu but, to be honest, it was pretty poor quality and not a particularly great design. I like the look of some of their other products, but I wouldn't buy anything else unless I could see it in person.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Sorry skbellis, I used the wrong quote button on my response to a different post and accidentally commented on the Sportsman's guide post.! Apologies for the confusion and I'll re-do the post.

    McQueen's Jackets ?

    I tried on the Barbour International last week in their shop in Manchester, but the it's quite a snug fitting jacket so I need to go back when they have the size up. It's a lovely coat, to my mind every bit as nice as a Belstaff (I haven't got a Belstaff, but I have looked at them quite closely...

    Quality of manufacture for leather coats?

    Wow, mine is warm in the UK with just the cotton drill lining, this one should be very warm!

    "The Gunner" from Kakaduimport?

    I bought one of their canvas bags last year and it's pretty awful quality. I kept it on the off chance it might come in handy one day, but I can see it going to the charity shop soon as it's just taking up space.

    Anyone own a 3/4-length FQHH

    Hi Bob - thanks for that! That was a picture from last year (or possibly late 2006!) and it's broken in a bit more since then. Hopefully it'll be too big for you (48" Regular), so I don't have to go to the bother of chaining it up! The bad news is, I now want another one for warmer weather...

    Anyone own a 3/4-length FQHH

    I've had the Aero Barnstormer in the standard Brown FQHH for just over a year, I went for the cotton drill rather than wool as it just never gets that cold for me in the UK to need that thick a lining. It's thick leather and very heavy, but hugely enjoyable to wear. I'm convinced it will...
