Aero Teamster in Goat

[Tony B]

No camera so no pics but I have an old goat uboat jacket from 1961 which has had a bit of wear and the buttonholes are in very good condition but they are the double welt type buttonholes rather than the sewn edge type that aero use.

Goat is a tough leather so i shouldn't imagine lifespan would be an issue fo any well made garment using it.

Goat is #2 in toughness scale behind 'roo. It's incredibly rugged.FWIW, HH is #5

Hey Butte, so what else is on the toughness scale? (i'm imagining Chuck Norris has gotta be in there somewhere)

 

[eClairvaux]

I hear they hope to use Chuck Norris' skin to grind diamonds, should he ever choose to shed it.

 

[ButteMT61]

Chuck has stones of steel. High carbon steel. lol

Hi there Equality
That's a beautiful jacket you've got there, I've just placed an order for a Teamster myself and already have the sizing jitters, could you tell me your chest measurment and what tag size the jacket is please?
Thanks.

Dav, that will not be a problem. Checking my emails this is the relevant information I gave Aero.
- chest: 35.5 inches, (36 inches inhaled). I also gave this statement
- "I don't plan to lay under the jacket as I'm generally a warm person, I would have a long sleeve shirt on at most. I am after trim fit but not tight."
- My suit size is euro 46 or US 36
- I'm thin/fit build

Of course with all my other measurements. The jacket is a labeled as a 36. Hope it works out for you. I'm wearing mine right now actually .

 

[Dav]

Thank you, I'm 41.5/42.75'' chest and have ordered a 42, so all sounds good.

 

[Edward]

Thank you, I'm 41.5/42.75'' chest and have ordered a 42, so all sounds good.

Inhaled / exhaled? That should be grand for Aero's standard 42. All my Aeros are a 42 and while a couple of them are definitely at the neatest end of what I can get away with (Thirties Halfbelt and AN6552), they're all fine on me. You look like you don't carry all your weight round the middle (as I unfortunately do) so you should have no worries at all.

 

[Dav]

Thanks Edward, the fit I'm after is the same as Equality' so I just wanted to check weather he had size down or not, as he hadn't I feel confidant now that what I've ordered will be fine!

Dav, one last thing worth mentioning, following Jan Solo's advice I told Aero to,"Pattern should be based on a Long 1930s slim fit Halfbelt".

Thanks, I'll enquire about that with Amanda!

Saw this photo by Disfarmer and thought of this thread:

 

[Sir Jacket]

The jacket on the right is to all intents and purposes an Aero Stuart -- or should that be the other way around?

Any updated photos of this jacket? I'm planning on getting a custom teamster and leaning towards goat.

 

[Highwaymanman]

If yo udon't mind my asking are you Hollows of Hollows leather?

Teamster in goat sounds intersting. i've often wondered if the heavier, longer coats might work well in goat.

 

[hollows]

^I am! I creep around all kinds of message boards, but with a possible Aero purchase looming, I thought it might be time to sign up.

 

[Highwaymanman]

Well met, man! Believe it or not I was reading an interview with you the other day which I found quite inspiring. It was the one in which you said "Tandy is your friend'. I had been thinking about starting leather crafting just as a hobby and it was actually that interview which made think, right, let's make this happen.

 

[hollows]

That's awesome, glad to give you a little push. It's really fun, if I wasn't doing it as a job I would certainly be doing it as a hobby.
