Thanks.
It's taken me three shearlings to find the right fit.
I have had two Eastmans B3 then B6 both sized 42 *as per size recommended by Eastman calculator). This one is a 40.
The gloves I purchased a few years ago from Ebay, new old stock Morley 70"s I think but I could be wrong!

I've been doing the same with a down jacket.
Which parka is that? Looks very warm.

It's a b-9 from Bronson mfg. Its really comfy.
No label. It’s old. Probably 60’s-70’s and from Canada.
What type of leather is that ?

Heard they had it on sale now... I bought it for 299...easily Worth that.
Hello. What is that belt buckle you're sporting? I like the look of it and the jacket as well! Thanks
Granted, I'm less experienced with jackets than many here, but.....I would not ever guess that jacket was made by someone other than the high end mfg that get so much love on this forum. It really looks top quality in construction and of course, your leather is excellent as well. Well done, all around.

Insulated Carhart winter jacket....
Thanks! Jacket is an aero highwayman. Belt is a hoof pick belt. My favorite casual belt maker is Narraganset Leathers:
https://www.narragansettleathers.com/HoofPickBelt.html
They make custom belts for a fantastic price.

I think it's kinda ironic.
Aero has been using the "we are the only ones using such thick leather and it is hard to work with" excuse for years to justify their huge needle holes, thick seams and generally heavy handed construction.
A Pakistany company that makes jackets that most people wouldn't hesitate to call "mall jackets" comes along and builds a nicer jacket on their first go, using thicker leather than what Aero uses...
