How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Here it is the completed 3-in-1 Field Leathers modified Manhattan J24 with leather togs back/sleeves and detachable black&brown mouton collar. Greg is super cool and lovely to work with. The extended wait time is worth it for me

This looks so nice! It came out really well and excited to see how it looks once you have it. I wasn't the biggest fan of the J-24L that McCoy's does mostly because of the collar but both the black and brown collars on your jacket look great! I think the brown shade is much nicer and the black is a nice option to blend in
Forgot to post pics f my Good Wear B-6. I was able to wear it a couple days, but now we're getting 90F+ days here in Seattle, so next wear might be after the summer...
The jacket looks great! Out of all the military shearling jackets the B-6 is the one that always catches my eye. It seems to me to be easier to wear than a B-3. May need to pick one up before next winter

Looks fantastic! I'm sure it will also be a great fit.
Thank you! It will be trimmer in the waist/hem so I hope it's not too tight there lol but still not as trim as the five star light deerskin so I'm hopeful!

Thanks man. The project was in great hands. Greg was eager to tackle the design changes with how to make them blend in to one pattern and the added challenge of making a detachable collar which is a new task for him. I agree the brown fur is so much for interesting and the black fur looks classic.


Perfection once again!
Thank you kindly. Greg sets a high standard for himself and his work and he is very detail oriented as you know!

Now patiently (sort of) waiting for 2 AeroLeather jackets..

1 x Sheene in tobacco badalassi with a few modifications and 1 x Windward in brown FQHH also with a few modifications.

14 to 16 week wait!
Post some pics when they arrive. Particularly the Windward. I’m curious about the mods!

I will do.
On the Windward I stayed with the alpaca lining and storm cuffs but added an inch to the length and added an Irvine collar, making it more of a Winter jacket.
I ordered the Windward once, had to return it as it was comically short despite the extra length i had requested. Real shame, I love the design.

I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Aero and try one on.
All my trousers,chinos and jeans are high waisted and wide legged and the additional inch to the length meant it covered my belt when I leant forward.

I think the main difference between the originals and the Aero model (apart from the collar) is that Aero doesn’t have a front drop on their pattern. I think it really adds wearability to this design. Gettig fitted in person is the key I think- you can adjust the specs to your liking and your wardrobe.

This is the primary reason I sold my blue HB. The blunt cut raises the front too much. Even a 1” drop negates the front rise but none of the 50’s patterns from Aero I’ve tried have it. I should’ve asked for that.

Not a jacket, but I’m thrilled to have picked up these Vanson Sportrider pants. Took a bit of a gamble on the sizing (I’m 34 waist in most pants) but the fit on these guys is perfect. Only drawback is there’s no armor in the knees, might see if Vanson can add it.

There should be pockets to hold the knee pad Vanson sells knee pads separately
