    Interesting convo and 4k HH jacket

    I have heard that Horween isn’t really tanning the hefty stuff that much anymore. Demand just isn‘t there as it was ten years or so ago. You can still get them, but orders are in slots and - apparently- at a premium price.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I‘ve tried to find a Harro straight zip in my size for years. Love their bold designs! I’ve pretty much stopped searching. The used market only shows tiny sizes. I even have one laying around I could use as a Bolero jacket.

    Interesting convo and 4k HH jacket

    Wow. Hadn’t noticed that. I guess, the demand for ultra-thick, non-breathable hides has gone down from when I first started lurking here.

    Interesting convo and 4k HH jacket

    To each their own. Lost Worlds adds extreme charges for minor alterations to sleeve and torso length, Simmons Bilt now charges extra for their old standard hide (CXL HH), and the upcharge at Lewis Leather for their veg tan cow is not for the faint hearted as well. The list of extra charges at...

    Yes, they are. Good eye! They must be 3-4 years old.

    Cold and sunny. What else would I be wearing?

    Nothing wrong with a seasoned Panther. An iconic British look! Mine is just past it’s 20th birthday and still going strong.

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    But that is exactly the point: TFL has members from all over the world, bringing all their cultural backgrounds of negotiation (or lack thereof) to the table. Nothing worse than a cultural trap to stumble into out of naivety.

    Celebrities jackets

    I didn’t know that. AFAIK, the original jackets were made by Belstaff. The “Mutt” jacket was then commercially available to the general public. At that time, Belstaff had turned into the fashion company it is today. Quality kind of okay but vastly inferior to what is the norm in our parts. I...

    Pictures of aero highwayman or premier HM

    Not that I know. For a contemporary look, I would always size down one size from my normal Aero size (two down from my Premier Line size). That creates a visually slimmer look which will not be as restrictive as the Premier model (which has super high armholes). A well fitting Highwayman is as...

    Thank you for this! I will give the jacket a lot of wear in the next weeks and play around with the variations. I have taken off the belt for the moment as the flopping buckle gets on my nerve with my Schott. I may put it back on as the belt is much stiffer, so no flopping, and it does change...

    This is one great jacket! The navy colour sets it ever so slightly apart from the sometimes brutal black variants. Also, the CXL looks killer. Hope the knits are up to it in the long run.

    Some of my Aero collection

    Very sound collection! The Longshoreman looks juicy. A style rarely seen in the wild.

    ...unmistakably. My wife makes snarky remarks from downstairs as she hears me squeaking while I claim to be working.

    Thank you. I am setting at my desk, wearing the jacket. Don´t usually do that in the house, but I am really honeymooning with this. Starts to drape too.

    I should perhaps add that I found the size chart on the "DudsbyDel" page both helpful and accurate.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This is a size 42. Here´s the thing: Vanson´s sizing is very inconsistent between the different models in their lineup, with some of them (Model B; Enfield to some extent) running pretty large, while olthers are on the slimmer side (Model E, Chopper). I was worried that the "C" was small on...

    haha, thanks much! Can´t wait to break it in. So far it wears me more than the other way round...

    Just unboxed half an hour ago. Vanson/MrFrown C2 in Cognac Badalassi. Still has the shape of the box rather than my torso, but I am so pleased I had to share immediately. I was pretty worried about sizing, but no way I could do one up. Hide is absolutely utterly gorgeous, and the hardware...
