    Aero FQHH vs Vintage FQHH

    The main reason I want to send it to Aero for trade in is that other than sleeve length and torso length, all the measurements are perfect. I don't want to take the chance of measurements getting "lost in translation" between them and me. However, I have been considering selling on eBay too. Lenny

    Aero FQHH vs Vintage FQHH

    The jacket is about 4 years old. While it's close to perfect, like everybody, I'm looking for that perfect jacket. I'm considering trading it in for another Highwayman with minor tweaks to make it perfect. Has anybody traded in a jacket to Aero? Approx how much can I expect to get for it? And...

    Aero FQHH vs Vintage FQHH

    I have a brown Highwayman made with FQHH. It's beautiful, except some panels are smooth, and some have developed nice graining. Would it be more likely to get a jacket with even graining all over if it were made of the Vintage FQHH? Other than pre-distressing, are there any other differences...

    Mister Freedom Denim Peacoat

    Very cool Major! I've never seen a Pea Coat in Denim. For someone like me, who happens to own and love an old wool one, I can see buying a denim one also for warmer weather. Lenny

    The New Alexander .... 1st the Detroit (warning picture heavy)

    Beautiful jacket and perfect fit. Just wondering why you went with Courderoy in the sleeves? Doesn't that make it difficult to slip your arms in? Lenny

    vintage peacoat sizing?

    I'm pretty much the same size as you, with 5 more lbs. I bought a 40 from the mid to late 60's, and it fits perfectly. These were meant to fit slimly, so buy your size. Mine is actually a little tight across the shoulders and back when driving. But, when standing and walking, it's perfect, and...

    Made in America. Stayed in America.

    I consider myself a knife user more than a collector. I've owned 2 of the Victorinox soldier knives as shown in your pic above. I've owned Sebenzas, high end Spydercos and Benchmades, etc The Soldier's I've owned have been every bit as good fit and finish wise as the high end knives I've owned...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    No, single midsoles and full Vibram 100 soles with the 1/4" lower heel. These should be comfy and slightly easier on my flat feet. Lenny

    Vanson leather - Chopper jacket

    OK, I'll throw my $.02 in too. I've had a few Vansons in their competition weight leather (currently an Enfield) I can't imagine any other leather being as thick and tough as this stuff. It's the only leather I want on my body in case I go sliding along the tarmac after a quick get off. Now, I'm...

    Thanks gents. I think I'll go with the lower heel. Lenny

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I hate to hijack this thread slightly, but here goes anyway. (besides I didn't want to start a new thread for a simple Nomad question) I'm about to order a pair of Nomads. I have very flat feet, so I asked Kyle at Baker's if he thought reducing the heel by 1/4" was a good idea. He said yes, so...

    using the coat hook strap on the A2 ok?

    Damn straight Peacoat. I got a nice fat hanger for my peacoat too. Lenny

    What' the Scoop on (Filson's) Wool Vests?

    Oh yes, Ibex. I've worn quite a few of their bicycling jerseys throughout the years. Nothing like Merino Wool to keep you dry and stink free. Plus, it lasts a long time considering all the falls I take on the trails. I also have one of their boiled wool jackets. Definitely not the same...

    What' the Scoop on (Filson's) Wool Vests?

    Interesting, the exact opposite is true for my vest. Lenny

    Just throw it on the floor. Best way to store leather. Lenny

    What' the Scoop on (Filson's) Wool Vests?

    I've got a black and grey Mackinaw that I love. Quality is awesome as you'd expect from Filson. I like that it's thin as I also wear it under my leather jacket when riding on colder days. My only comment is that my med is a little tight on me. Lenny
