    Slim-fit khakis, no stretch

    I’ve been on the hunt for some slim-fit khakis or chinos without any stretch material, and they are not easy to find. Bill’s doesn’t do a slim cut and even the guy who started Bill’s, who has now relaunched Duck Head, uses a stretchy fabric. Iron Heart does make a really nice pair of chinos...

    Aero Seven fit check

    The sleeves are only a bit too short when I’m driving, not sure how riding a motorcycle will work yet, but they seem to stay a pretty consistent length. I just wish they were an inch longer. I’m not sure about the shoulders. They look too narrow to me, but everyone here seems to think they’re ok.

    Aero Seven fit check

    I guess I’ll just try and wear the sht out of it for a few months, and then circle back to the soaking idea. I, too, had thought it would stretch a bit over time, but I’ve read this CXL horsehide stretches 0.0%

    Aero Seven fit check

    I got this Aero Seven in brown CXL from Carrie at Thurston Bros. It is gorgeous, of course. The smell is amazing. But I’m not sure it fits me right. The sleeves feel too short to me, just a bit, and the shoulders too narrow. Again, just a tick too small. What do you think? Carrie...

    FS: Aero Cafe Racer Sheene, unfinished HH, Size 40L

    I have actually skimmed down to a 44-inch inhaled chest. Only realized too late.

    FS: Aero Cafe Racer Sheene, unfinished HH, Size 40L

    Sorry, I was confusing the Sheene with the Seven — I have the latter on order right now, and I switched from a PHMN. I’m interested in your jacket but I am a 46-inch chest. What is your chest measurement, if you don’t mind me asking? I think we’re a similar build, as I’m 6’3”, 190 lbs.

    FS: Aero Cafe Racer Sheene, unfinished HH, Size 40L

    Quick question to bump this thread -- what is the main diff btwn a PHMN and this sheene? Just the pockets, cuffs and the hem? Aren't they the same general shape?

    WTB — horse A-2 in 44/46 L or XL?

    I actually just got my ELC RW in 46 XL today. It fits pretty well in the arms now, although I fear they’ll shrink up with wear. The only weird thing about it the collar — it looks like I’m wearing one of those neck pillows people take on planes! I’ll show you fit pics later. i am still hopeful...

    FS Eastman A-2, house model, size 46

    Excellent! My Eastman Rough Wear is scheduled to arrive Thursday and I have an order in for an Aero Bronco in Jerky HH, though I’m tempted to go with the boxier 42 contract...

    WTB — horse A-2 in 44/46 L or XL?

    Thanks very much, I’ll check it out. I do already have orders in at Eastman, Bill Kelso, and Aero though. So three A-2’s incoming, with the ELC literally in the mail.

    FS Eastman A-2, house model, size 46

    @Monitor please list your top five! I love the Eastman “Warhorse” hide but it does seem (to a newbie like me) very, very thin. Would love to hear your thoughts. (And for the record, I have one on order.)

    How black is blackened brown vicenza?

    cool jacket, but i don't dig the blackened brown. the teacore effect on the CXL is way coooler. i hope something like that will show up on the jerky HH, as well. @Fonzie that's the point! he'd been shopping for cars the whole time!

    Brick and Mortar purchase A2 Jacket in Italy? Europe?

    Ok, I’ll have a go at putting something together. I can probably compile a bunch of german, British and Italian stores, plus one or two French. I know it’s too late for this guy, but Italy has a great shop for army originals, check out this instagram...

    How black is blackened brown vicenza?

    Thanks, man. It should say on the tag. If it is a 15142, I’ll order the exact same one because it looks fantastic. If not, and it’s the 18775, I’ve already got one of those on order from Bill Kelso ;) (I have a problem). Off-topic: I once told my shrink that I think I have a problem with...

    Huh. I thought it was the 42-15142.

    F@&$ing nice A-2! Which contract is that? The 42? The sleeves look amazing.

    How black is blackened brown vicenza?

    for the rock n’ roll vibe, I think Eastman’s Highway Star looks killer! Just don’t know why they sew the pockets through the leather like that...

    How black is blackened brown vicenza?

    I have ordered a Bronco A-2 in the dark seal jerky horsehide. Holly said it will fade nicely and I trust her. I also ordered a Sheene in the black CXL because I want what that guy has!
