Ok........ It’s really hard for me to consider letting most of this stuff go, but I’ve become more interested in watches of late and this is one way I can get closer to my next piece.


Aero Premier Work Coat, modified back panel, seal Vicenza Italian veg tanned horsehide, navy Melton wool body lining, sz 40 (fits 42): $800. I purchased this new from Thurston Bros back in 2017. I may be wrong but I think I may be the first to specify this pattern with the more traditional back panel generally seen on work coats vs the half belt which to me looks really wrong (no disrespect to those that disagree; just my dumb opinion). The leather is the best IMO. Have owned three in this hide and this is top of the lot by a country mile.

WESCO x Iron Heart collab Morrison smooth side burlap pecos boots w/box, sz 9.5E (fits 10D): $275. These were a very small run for IH. They look close to the veg tanned leather collab boots with Ship John, albeit lighter/less orange. Purchased second hand a number of years ago. There is very slight separation where the heel meets the midsole, but should be a snap for a cobbler (have been in this condition since owning).

Mister Freedom NOS Chambray (green) work shirt, sz L (fits M): $85. Good condition, nice cut and color.

Cordova flat cap, vintage wool, sz 7 5/8. $90.


All prices include shipping CONUS, payment via PayPal plus 4% (if applicable). International sales welcome, but will have added shipping costs (actual or thereabouts) depending on preferred shipping method. Most of these items will not be able to be parceled via first class mail due to their weight, so it’ll likely be Priority International or Express Priority International (which is about $10-20 more). First come first serve. More may be added, but will start with these items and go from there- my lone GW A2, and Aero Aeromarine are staying put tho;)

If I may be of service....
RUN AWAY FROM WATCH FORUMS AND COLLECTING
You could buy the finest jacket to ever grace TFL for $2500. That doesn’t get you a seat a the table with watches.
Jackets to watches is coffee to crystal meth

My $.02 on that model is to shy away from the newer models with gold numbers. I may be wrong but the crystal seems to lack AR coating. Everytime i would check the time the sun would reflect off of the 3/6/9 and i couldnt read the hands.

Sz 7 5/8 Cordova flat cap added.

Dropping price on jacket to $750. Any lower and I begin to feel foolish ;)

Shoulder seems to be a bit narrow for a 40? How comfortable is arm movement as there's no shoulder gusset ?

Do you have measurements for arm width and the cuff ? thanks
