    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    An Aero Aeromarine incoming around early March. Looked at a natural leather but chickened out and chose Cordovan Vicenza.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    After what seems a silly length of time trying to find a pair of pull on boots that I like, and what'd fit as I have a high instep, I've decided to go for another pair of these....Trickers Burford boot. Currently have a tan pair and a black pair with leather soles however, not a fan of leather...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Oh it's definitely cool. but just not for me.

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    I appreciate what you say however, being 'chilled' about an expensive (to me) jacket not ending up as I like isn't going to happen. Also appreciate that if buying on-line a jacket might get sent that doesn't fit as expected etc. I'm fortunate that as stated, I can go up to Aero and in the 6...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Update on leather choice, Have been having a play with the samples, tried neatsfoot oil, tried beeswax / neatsfoot oill mix..not impressed with either result. I could try Pecards but have to order from the US however, one thing is putting me off the unfinished leather more and more and that's...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Well, the deed is done and an Aeromarine has been ordered. Samples arrived today and the leather is beautiful stuff, which will only improve once it gets a bit of sun on it. My 2 main passions are cars and clothes and when it comes to clothes I'll openly admit I'm one fussy old sod when it...

    With already having 2 x Sheene, 1 x tobacco Badalassi and 1 x black Badalassi I'm leaning towards the Aeromarine. I'd skip pockets altogether as never use them and, in my eyes, they can spoil the line of a jacket.

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Is that a single coat of Pecards from new? Looking at the Pecards site there are a few types to choose from, which did you go for please? It's looking perfect.

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Well on the way to pulling the trigger on an Aero unfinished horsehide jacket, just need to decide between a Sheene or an Aeromarine. However, whilst appreciating the leather will change colour naturally my concern is getting it to do so evenly e.g. if we go out in the sun we're not going to...

    Aero Windward or Montgomery??

    As said above the elastics are not noticeable at all once the jacket is being worn. I was initially dubious about them but don't even notice them now.

    Well, it's been a long, long wait!

    With a bit of luck and a following wind these should be fine. With being pre-washed as part of the treatment they state very little or no shrinkage. I'm afraid the references re Good Wear have gone straight over my head :oops:

    Well, it's been a long, long wait!

    Around 6 or 7 months ago I saw that was, for me, the perfect pair of jeans on the RMC site. Being a very fussy old bloke when it comes to clothes they looked, and going by the description, absolutely perfect so having ummed and ahhhed at the price decided to buy them. Clicked my size only to...

    No sorry. It’s long gone.

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    Only my opinion but I feel the Sheene looks better if it just covers your belt.

    Vintage WW2 Irwin Jacket for daily wear?

    Sorry but if you went out and about wearing that it'd look as though you lived in a skip. As already suggested, just get a good repro.

    What is wrong with me?

    I can see where you're coming from on this! Only been on the leather wagon for a couple of years now and ended up with 6 x Aeros. 1 xWindward, 2x Sheene, 1 x Happy Days, 1 x Cross Zip and 1 x Hudson. I appreciate I may be missing out on stuff from other makers but Aero have nailed my fit...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    J-106 / KOTR hybrid, black Badalassi.

    Aero Hudson size 44

    Reduced to £400. No low ball offers thanks as it's already below half price and, as stated in the OP it's as new. If it doesn't go then it'll just stay in its cover!
