Aero HB with shoulder gussets is the only way.

Does Aero have a design which can incorporate shoulder gussets or full bi swing back(other than cafe racer/board racer)

I am interested in the 1930s halfbelt, but I don't think it can be ordered with gussets

Good call. Without them mobility is really pretty limited. Not sure how anyone did any actual work in them during the 30s. Look great in a walk, Just don’t try and scratch your head when zippered.

Ok, no halfbelt but slim fit

Horween Pinnacle? I think it’s same price as CXL. Only Vicenza and Badalassi has a surcharge. The Raw horsehide Comipel used to be base charge too but I guess they figured out the cutting is very limited on those and now is charging Vicenza price for it.
Use the select leather later option for stuff that’s not on the website yet.

Pretty spiffy attire for changing a tire - always the pinnacale of style regardless of the situation.

My old Stockman is on there

I almost bought the battered tan Teamster, but I have enough bloody jackets now.

Although....

How many jackets do you have?

How many jackets do you have?

Currently I have 6 (with two on the way). Now if you ask how many I’ve had…hundreds? I’m not a collector. I love ‘em and leave ‘em, with very few exceptions.

Nice, I find it hard to part with them after I love them. But for practical reasons I'd like to try to keep the number somewhat limited.

Is that 6 leather jackets or 6 in total. I can't even think of how to get down to 6. Everyone needs a black and brown leather jacket, then there's the rain jackets for summer and those for winter, then there's the coats for weddings and funerals, then there's the jackets for working outside, nearly forgot about sports jackets and denim jackets. Damn, I think I've just talked myself into getting another one ......‍

I should have been more specific. I always mean jackets zippered when i make a comment. I know that probably puts me in the minority. Probably partially geography and partially i run cold.

Just leathers. Wools are a different subject!

I've been eyeing the Fair Isle sweater vest for a few months now, but I still don't know if it's worth it considering the shipping already costs half of what the sale price is. The sale is a better deal for those buying jackets, right?

 

[TartuWolf]

Partly because of the #5 main zipper I'm also seriously considering the Moonshiner instead of J106 or Hooch Hauler. But I've seen only one thread on TFL where someone had the moonshiner (in Kudu) and I got some photos from Canuck Panda of his Moonshiner.
Why is it such a rare model? What do you think about it?
Canuck Panda's one looks incredible, especially in that black Badalassi.

@Canuck Panda
How much have you worn it in total? What do you think about it in general? Do you regret getting it?
I remember you said it has a very tight hem and very slim sleeves and a very V shape.

Other examples I have found online:

Just on this point, I wouldn't worry about it.

It's only an issue with CXL, and even then you can get around it by getting the Universal zipper rather than the repro Talon. Still has the authentic vintage repro pull, but the reliability is that much better.
