Whitefeather Aviator

[pipvh]

Anybody seen one of these in the (horse) flesh? http://whitefeathermfg.com/produkt/1930s-aviator-style-jacket/

I really like the small collar (compared to the Bootlegger and those mysterious Block-bilts) and the slightly rough-n-ready look.

They are based in Vienna Osterreich. A compagny to keep an eye on!
I've seen Grizzly jackets on their Instagram profile.

Interesting choice of presentation - looks like they had some body wear it for six months, then trow it on the floor and take a shot! Looksl ike it could be nice. Lapels are soemwhat smaller than the Bootlegger - but at least in this photo less so than you'd think. They have some nice looking other stuff on the site, too: I rather like the look of this - http://whitefeathermfg.com/produkt/cotton-duck-version-of-the-1870s-greenebaum-style-blouse/ . It would be interesting to be able to compare them to the likes of Aero, as EU900 is currently just about GBP712, ballpark for a spec''ed out halfbelt with all the options from Galshiels.

Interesting choice of brand-name, "Whitefeather", with the connotations it has in an industry where much of the market often fetishises the military. I'd be intrigued to know the full story: it seems a very limited range of products for a company which has been around since 1905?

Also rather like the look of that jeepcoat....

Do you know the deal with the 1905 thing? Nice looking stuff, would be interesting to see it in person.

I like the two-tone, though at that price I'd probably go with a *name* to make sure I got exactly what I wanted.

There's some more info on White Feather over at Denimbro. Their stuff looks pretty good.

Name-wise, I'm quite taken with the ELMC Windward but not 100%, and there's that new Aero D-pocket that Mysteryo owns - is that going into production? And of course Norshor. But there's something about the Whitefeather.

Fardin does great work!
I really like the Jeep coat.

That aviator is pretty darn incredible. I love how it stands alone in design, unlike some other d pockets

As for the Whitefeathef line in general, I'm very very close to pulling the trigger on the car coat. Got a bit sidetracked with another GW lol. Fardin has been very polite and patient to work with.

As others have noted, Fardin/WF does good work.

I have known this brand for awhile and like some of the products but have always considered their pricing too aggressive (for the duck and denim blouse).

I like the looks of the 1920s A1 Aviator. Although the styles do have a premium appearance, some come across as an odd design and material to me.

When I first saw this post I immediately thought of another "White Feather" (but knew he wasn't an aviator):

Sorry for the diversion.

Fardin of Whitefeather is preparing a new jacket model, based on a 30's campus/menlo jacket.
I'll be receiving it in a few days, and I can't wait for it!
It's a Vincenza HH, dark brown, with buttons and 2 side pockets, cotton lined.
If I can, I'll make a full review of the jacket.
For those who like to see beautifull things, here are some picts.

Fardin is a sweet person to deal with, and a true passionate!

Going to Vienna in a couple of weeks and plan to drop into the shop. Looking forward to it !

 

[Mysteryo]

Lucky you! Great city, great shop!

 

[Superfluous]

Fantastic jacket!

Dang, their Greenbaum 1870 blouse looks really cool! As far as I understand, they do custom orders only, right?

 

[John Lever]

They also stock Freewheelers. ....
