    Pike Bros Hunting Pants

    Not two men searching for underwear, of course, but my latest purchase- these are heavy material, solidly constructed and really comfortable. If they made a suit-style jacket out of the same material, I'd probably buy it.

    Tweed Overcoats

    I'd be greatly appreciative if people can post pics of tweed overcoats they own. I have to relocate to the UK in June- perhaps permanently- and I'm gonna get myself a tweed overcoat for the winter. I've been looking at Walker and Slater coats- the House of Bruar used to do one that was...

    Cordovan steer vs Cordovan FQHH... and tumbling.

    I am considering a Teamster in cordovan but I want to avoid the bleeding effect as far as is possible. Does anyone know if bleed can be minimised through a certain hide choice? I'm also thinning out the herd to make room. It's a terrible addiction.

    Anyone bought any boots from Aero?

    I am thinking about getting some of the Town boots- anyone have any experience with these? Would there be any advantage over buying Loakes (who do a very similar style)?

    Brown FQHH develops weird blue dusting in cupboard

    Eh, this was odd. None of the other Aeros in the cupboard got this, but my brown hwm had a fine blue, dusty layer on it after being in storage (in the UK, in a pretty temperate climate). It hasn't damaged the leather, doesn't seem 'rooted' in the jacket- is it possibly the Renapur I treated it...

    Goat Boy

    I got hold of the Seal Goatskin 1950s HB I ordered from Aero and I am immensely impressed with the hide. It's creased up really nicely, is light without feeling insubstantial and has a fantastic grain. I have several FQHH jackets and this is far less... unwieldy. It's the mid-weight hide and...

    Pictures of Half Belts with no external chest pockets

    Anyone got any? I've decided on an order without one and am curious to see what folks have to say or pics of jackets, etc.

    Wabash 'pinstripe' jeans

    Anyone know of folks (apart from Iron Heart) who make these kinds of jeans? Somewhere in the UK would be nice.

    Whitefeather Mfg

    Does anyone have one of these that they've owned for a while (or even purchased recently)? I am considering getting one and am interested to find out what hide variations, colours, etc. are possible (and if some details can be left off [back adjusters and pocket flaps]).

    Rockafella

    Is this jacket fitted or will I be able to get one on my oblong body? I have been thinking of getting one in russet goat...

    Cordovan bleed has never diminished...

    Anyone know a way to stop it happening? I have an Aero lhb which I'm pretty much going to give up on as it rubs off on bags, shirts and trousers. Anything I wear it with needs to go in the wash after a wear. It's a pain.

    Wested's Goatskin

    Has anyone got a Wested in goat? If so, what's the thickness like? Any pictures would be greatly appreciated, as I'm going to have them copy a car coat I like, hopefully in goat. I need something a bit lighter than an Aero but still durable enough to last a bit. I like the pebbling on the...

    Preserving jackets in high humidity

    I'm relocating to Hong Kong and am interested to hear from anyone who has been in a similar climate as to how they care for leather out there. I have previously lived for extended periods of time in very humid weather, and have not had any undue problems with leather shoes, mould, etc. I'd...

    Places in the UK that would copy a jacket in a heavier hide.

    Anyone know of somewhere that might do this in the UK? I'd like to get a vintage leather jacket reproduced in a 2.5 oz HH or goat, preferably in a cordovan or chestnut colour. I'd shoot it off to Aero in a heartbeat, but it's a bit 70's... J.

    Horween Mustang

    Anyone got anything is this? https://www.instagram.com/p/BBYSa-lLh3m/ I reckon a Teamster in it would be the mutt's nuts. Jim

    Teamster length in comparison to Stockman (sz. 40)

    Anyone got both? I'm thinking of ordering a Teamster in tumbled cordovan with modified outer pockets (horizontal, like the Brakeman). I'm tempted to get it in battered tan, but I've already got a cafe racer in that hide. Just want to find out whether there's a significant length difference.
