Nice Highwayman Lungomare and a good even brown color too. If it was mine, I would spray mist the collar just to put a bit of a roll shape in it - but that's just a personal thing :) Thank's for posting the pic, always good to see jackets after a bit of wear.

I know what you mean, but I myself like the collar without the roll shape (which will appear a little bit with long wear anyway) but a more accurate and sharp style.

I agree with that. I like the collar somewhat sharp on that jacket (and some others).But it's all personal taste. Do what makes you happy - you look sharp friend.

Hello Johannes, Excellent fit!
What is the label size of the jacket? Just interested as I think I'm roughly similar build as you.

Thanks, George

Gee, is gold really $24K/lb? So my Hercules' weight in gold would be worth around $190K?
I am not *that* enthused with it.

But you do have nice jackets.

Hi Johannes;

Your Highwayman looks very good on you but your 1950s Flight Jacket takes the prize. Nice looking jacket and perfect fit. Wear them in good health. That town in Austria that Butte brought up....check it out and, now that I'm single, see what what a time share apartment would cost me!!

Regards,
coffee

Really like this one..... After your mods, looks pretty much the same as Aero's Happy Days jacket? Had my eye on one of these before I picked up my Highwayman.

Yes, it is now very similar to the Happy Days Jacket by Aero. I decided to get the 1950's pattern because I know it from the 1950's I had had before and sold (because I didn't like the "bomber pockets").

As fas as I am informed by Amanda the pattern of the 1950's is generally quite similar to the Happy Days.

Regards,

Johannes
