I"m thinking of grabbing the "Randall" model in the natural color. I have a 36 chest and would get the size 36 based on MF's measurements. However, my only concern is that the sleeves seem a little loose and blousy compared to what I'm used to wearing from other brands like Aero. Does this...
Thanks for all the great feedback, guys! The weird pocket angle on the Californian would be a deal-breaker for me since I often use the pockets to keep my hands warm. Another model I've been considering is the ELMC Highway Star. Anyone own this one?
Gentlemen,
I'm in the process of deciding my next leather jacket. I already have the Aero 1930s slim fit half-belt in brown FQHH that I purchased over 10 years ago. I'm debating between the ELMC Californian and another Aero slim fit half-belt. The color will be black and if I choose Aero, it...
These shoes really don't need any introduction. They are about as classic and timeless as it gets. Here is a beautiful and well maintained pair of Alden color #8 shell cordovan longings (975s) in size 6.5D on the Barrie last. They will fit you if you normally wear a size 7D as the Barrie last...
Here is a beautiful and rare Lost Worlds Ryder jacket made of front quarter horsehide in a gorgeous russet brown. The sleeves have a woolen storm cuff for keeping out the cold. The jacket is in excellent shape with not rips or stains. It has been lovingly taken care of from a smoke free home. It...
Gents,
Looking to add a CPO shirt to my wardrobe this fall. What brands/retailers do you all recommend? I'm currently considering a Buzz Rickson model. Any others? Thanks for your recs.
Just got my Whites over the weekend! I'm very happy with them. The black cherry color looks more like a dark brown. The fit is great; still getting use to the arch support. Going down 1/2 size was the right decision. Sorry for the poor lighting. They forgot to include the leather laces, but I'll...
Yes, I did send my measurements and foot tracings to Whites. They felt confident with the 6.5D sizing. I was on the border between a 6.5 and a 7 but since the arch support brings the toes further back, they felt that a 6.5 should be fine.
Daizawaguy,
Thanks again for your feedback. I placed my order directly with Whites. I read somewhere else that someone placed an order through Baker's and they screwed up the sizing and would not honor a refund. Therefore, I ordered directly with Whites in case this happens. Here's what I...
Could someone post a side by side comparison photo between the standard and the swing last? I'm planning to order a pair and am trying to decide which last to get. Is there a difference in fit between the two or is it just aesthetics? Thanks!
Great looking jacket. The 42 is definitely a better fit than the 44. I didn't know you could specify the number of panels to be used to make the arms. Did you specifically ask for 2 panels or did it just come that way?
For sale is my like new Lost Worlds A2 Flight Jacket in a size 36 in russet brown horsehide. The jacket has only been worn a few times. Lost Worlds jackets sell for almost $1000 on their site: http://www.lostworldsinc.com/A-2_Flight_Jacket.htm
Measurements (inches):
Chest (pit to pit)- 20...
The jacket looks great.:eusa_clap The hand pockets seem rather high up; which is probably inherent to the design. Is it comfortable keeping your hands in there? A picture with the jacket zipped and your hands in the pockets would be much appreciated.
Very nice! I have one on order too in russet aniline horsehide. Whats the advantage of the leather band on the bottom? Is it for durability? I may have to ask John to put one on mine.
Gents,
I'm considering Aero's Route 66 jacket for my next purchase and wanted to get some feedback from owners about this jacket- pros/cons, likes/dislikes, changes you would have made, etc. I'm thinking of getting it in vintage black horsehide for wearing while riding my motorcycle. Photos are...
