    Vanson jacket appreciation

    General question to the Vanson aficianado's - I've seen previous threads discussing the removal of the Marauder badge from the Vanson Marauder jacket... Has anyone achieved this with a nice solution, or is the better bet a cover-up (a la regretted tattoo!) ? thanks in advance!

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    I just checked (as I've been eyeing a B6...) and on the Aero site (i.e. direct), there's no upcharge for adjustments like sleeve or back length, as of today. Looks like its just a Thurston Brothers venture?

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thank you! very clear.... "and as if by magic..." It works! :) If I was back in the UK, I'm sure I'd be looking to get a pair or two more from WL, and I hear what you say about the convenience of ordering from stock. Have to be honest that I came to jackets and FDL via Boots first (if...

    Vanson jacket appreciation

    There are others far more expert than me, but I understand they were made to sell with the Suzuki Marauder, which sold from 1996 - 2004(+/-) so that should give you a ballpark. Others can tell you more from the Vanson product coding…

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Not yet adept enough at the tricks of FDL to insert multiple quotes / replies (where can I find guidance?) - but the Grant Stones do some very nice affordable and quality moc-toe boots (a la Indy) and my view is they’re likely better quality then most Indy’s or Alden's generically. BTW - proxy...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Share the experience that it happens with the Indys, I think mine are the 405 CXLs (?) and have the same issue... if I'm being picky, the alignment of the speed-hooks isn't perfect either. I've got lots of other boots with speed hooks and only get the tongue slip on maybe one other pair? Not...

    Introducing Nama Denim Bangkok

    Yeah, can’t argue - the CS & communication was challenging, but having lived & worked in the region I managed to buy a pair from Europe - though as I recall the shipping was not far short of the cost of the jeans …! Now they have a physical store that would be the best, if it’s an option!

    I have a pair, very comfortable and I think will look even better once I’ve got a bit of wear on them!

    Downsize for aero cafe racer?

    No where near as experts as the previous members, but I've bought both the Board Racer and Sheene (Cafe Racer based) from Aero recently. Super-happy with the Boardracer (FQHH) - following their recomendations, fits exactly as I want. The Sheene wasn't as great, even with a light Vicenza...

    Fidelity Cafe Racer, German Military, Johnson Leather etc.

    Hey @tmitchell59 I would like to buy the fidelity CR. My DMs have gone unanswered. I know you've put it on the bay, but I'm a willing buyer, and can agree a shipping address either to my home in Switzerland or to a US address if preferred and I'll arrange on-shipping. Just drop me a message...

    WLTB B6 Eastman/Aero quality, sizing 44 Long

    As per the title, want to take the plunge into a Shearling jacket, not too warm, not too cold - the Goldilocks variety ;). Redskin preferred. Eastman and Aero seem to be the best balance of quality and cost/value, but not excluding others - open to be persuaded by the many experts herein...
