Some members better block their wives from seeing this.

Are some Men really that afraid of their Wives. I see these remarks from time to time. Makes me think some consider their Wives more like their Mommies and they enjoy it.

I'm on about nine Aero, three Eastman, and about half a dozen one ofs (Schott, LW, Taylors, Wested among them). About half of what I have needs to be sold on to fund the wish list. Only keep what I wear. Got my eye on a few, mostly Aero, and a couple of bits from the History Bunker guys.

 

[Khilij]

I have one jacket. It is a Vanson.

#1 Vanson - 1 Jacket.

 

[Coriu]

Don't think I have seen mention of a Bates or Lewis Leathers yet...

I had one Bates but I've placed them into the first category. If I was to list every maker whose one jacket I've had, list would be never-ending.

Had three Langlitz jackets, too.

It was a joke.

 

[tmitchell59]

Hard to say, they are all very, very different jackets in many ways. I don't have a favorite maker, but I do have favorite jackets. I just updated my list with 2 Bill Kelso jackets.

I have so many it is hard to recall.

 

[Tusche]

#1. Aero: 36
#2. Eastman: 5
#3. ( Tied ) LW: 4, Thedi: 4, SB: 4, Y2: 4


And a couple of more from Himel, Real McCoys, Addict, Orgueil, Buzz Rickson, Finecreek

I think it’s really time to sell some of them

 

[Harris HTM]

#1. Aero: 36

WOW!

It was a joke.

There are some old words of wisdom..."If momma ain't happy, then no one's gonna be happy." There are likely some married men out there who can relate to this.
