    The Filson Thread

    I for one don't automatically connote made overseas with lower quality. I do, however, believe that if you want to see the USA become trampled under the Chinese economic engine, you should keep buying stuff that's made over there. We are becoming a 2nd rate country, economically. And we're...

    Help With First Aero Order

    Actually, I believe that they want your measurements in normal street clothes. Then tell them that you plan to wear a sweater or whatever underneath. They know how to build in the appropriate extra room based on this method. When in doubt, discuss it with Amanda. Lenny

    "New" Hercules FQHH Jacket

    Nice find. Sorry, I can't help you out with the buttons though. You know, you're obligated to show pix of you wearing it when it arrives! Lenny

    Aero web site

    Much better. Only suggestion I have is to use more images of each jacket, including closeups of stitching, features, various linings, etc. Lenny

    Custom Enfield arrives, fit info, etc.

    Bonneville, Congrats on a great jacket. I love mine and it's just right for riding my Speed Triple (ya gotta love them Triumphs) As for stretching, my FQHH Highwayman's sleeves were a tad too short for my liking. So, I went for a walk in the rain and got it completely soaked. While it was...

    Show me your favorite jacket

    Vance and I have a lot in common. (sorry if I just offended you Vance) But I love both of these the same. Each has little things I like better than the other. Lenny

    The chronicle of my A-2s

    Nice chronology so far. BTW, what is "sleeve tunneling"?

    I don't know if I should thank you guys...

    Steve, Welcome to the forums and Merry Christmas. Thanks for serving and helping protect us all back here. Even though most Americans don't say it often enough, we all support and love our soldiers. Your decision to get a HH jacket is a great plan; and Aero probably uses the best FQHH...

    Action shots of you in your best leather...post 'em up!!!

    Best looking Harley I've ever seen. For that matter, one of the best looking Cafe Racers I've ever seen. Nice job on the build. Lenny

    Windward jackets by Montgomery Ward (and copies)

    Nice one Windward. Let's see some pix of the lining. Lenny

    Which is the best A2 manufacturer you can order from and get a jacket right away?

    WHY?? They seem like a good deal. I'm not looking for a 100% authentic recreation of an A2. All I want is a reasonably priced A2 with nice FQHH, decent fit, and well made. Where do the USA jackets fall short? Lenny

    Sears Hercules Halfbelt

    Wow! I absolutely love that jacket. Way to make a grand entrance Forrest. Good luck with it and welcome to the forums. Lenny

    Who makes a good pea coat these days?

    Here we go again. If you want the absolute top quality in a peacoat, buy vintage. See this thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?35824-PEACOAT-DATING Also, a search of this forum will turn up more than you'd be able to read in a week. Lenny

    Show us your Vanson Jackets

    Like Peacoat and CodeRed, I also own an Enfield. It's an awesome jacket. Very thick leather that is graining up nicely. Every stitch is straight and evenly spaced. The whole thing just exudes quality. I like it even better than my Aero Highwayman in some respects. Lenny

    Alternatives to Vanson Enfield

    I have an Enfield and it is hands down my favorite jacket. I don't think anything styled like that comes close for the price. And as mentioned above, why not have Vanson customize the collar? It'll take some time, but all things good come to those who wait. I wear mine on the motorcycle and...

    All right, it must be asked: Why the unflinching dedication to Aero HH?

    Sorry to hear of your bad experience with your Aero. And I do recall mention of the Cordovan color staining clothes. My Brown Highwayman doesn't. It also doesn't have a strong chemical odor, just a nice pleasant horse hide aroma. The more I wear it, the more "worn in" it looks, and I just...

    FQHH: Ridden Hard and Put Away Wet

    Thanks Griff. I knew I wasn't crazy! Lenny

    FQHH: Ridden Hard and Put Away Wet

    I'll try to get some pix tonight. But that might not be possible. FQHH has the amazing ability to heal itself of all but the deepest scratches. The constant rubbing against car seats etc has a tendency to buff them away. Has anybody else noticed this? Lenny

    Please talk me out of buying a Fislon #86 wool packer coat.

    I've always loved this coat and the Double Mackinaw. But I must say I'm surprised to learn that it's a lighter weight wool than my Post WWII Pea Coat. I have one of their wool vests, and it's nice and thick, but not as dense as the Pea Coat. Lenny

    Opinions please...German wool overcoat.

    Interesting design, just not my style. It does look high quality though. And Boiled Wool is great stuff. It's huge though! I've never seen a size 60 anything. Lenny
