    Eastman Roughwear fit

    Fit looks really good. It's unusually good, in fact :)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This looks like a good solution - I will ask a tailor for options as I need a couple of shirts, anyway.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This is an excellent idea - the jacket itself is a really nice piece of gear, but it's weird without a lining (I wouldn't repeat the experiment...).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Rogue Territory Supply Jacket arrived. It's a nice thing, but I should have got the lined version. Unlined feels a bit insubstantial even though it's a really tough material.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This Café Racer in battered seal. I've smashed the hell out of this over a few years. I need to lose a bit of weight, though, as it's getting tighter... The tan steer hide one is the same size, so now I have two reasons to lose the extra...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Aero Café racer in Blackened Brown Vicenza. I still prefer brown leathers overall, but this is a nice change and Vicenza is great stuff.

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    Get Universal zips Get D-Rings OD/contrast stitching Troy blanket lining Opt for mid-weight hides or goat unless really needing a full-weight jacket Size up on 30's patterns, size down on 50's patterns. For me, two sizes up on Café Racer.

    Black rough out jacket recommendations

    I think that would look great. A trucker style, especially.

    Schott 689HH Fit Check.

    Provided you don't mind it hitting at the belt, it looks fine.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's a nice hide - I should have got this jacket a size up, but I could always exercise more :)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Tan steer hide Café Racer jacket. This hide is one that Aero seems to get in quite rarely. It's thick, heavy and has taken longer to be really flexible than any other jacket I've owned. I'm wearing it whenever I can and trying to soften it up. I'll probably give up and wear the Work Coat...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Aero Plainsman in black jerky HH. It's a nice hide and very flexible. At first, I thought it would wear through to russet-ish, but it's much paler (as in the cuff edge). Over time, this darkens a bit. Overall effect is interesting, although it's a matter of wait and see. The Plainsman...

    Yep, about 3-4 weeks seems normal. I'm just about to pull the trigger on a Drifter in Blattwerk Mahogany with the pocket flaps curved slightly differently. SB have somehow nailed the neck-shoulder fit really well. The Klondike I bought in goat is really comfortable.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Highwayman in brown FQHH. Still the best thing I've ever bought.

    What do you look for in a Custom / Bespoke / MTO / MTM jacket?

    It really depends. Extended travel and I'll look for practicality (lots of pockets and medium length, so not a CR, probably a Long Half Belt). Day to day a goat half-belt works well, or a CR. In really cold climates I'll be in a hoodie and anything in heavy hides. Price is a big factor (I...

    Yes, and it is really nice. It's so nice that I'm ordering a half belt in the Mahogany Blattwerk.

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    If it is, then style is a factor. I doubt that browns or suedes could get you into trouble.
