    For Sale: Aero Highwayman Black Connolly Steerhide Size 46

    And I have a Connolly Half-belt from the same period. A friend of mine recently put it perfectly: "I forgot what a real leather jacket looked like. This thing'll see you through the Apocalypse."

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    I recently read that a group is bringing back the chestnut tree, having found a strain that is resistant to the fungus that wiped them out. They used to be all over this country and were a large source of income for farmers. I still have memories of one I always passed on my way to school. The...

    Where to buy used vintage leather jacket

    Just to whet your appetite, you might want to check out the home page for Aero Leather Clothing in Scotland, particularly their sales page. Then just sit back and watch your addiction grow. Cafe racers are great, but wait till you see what else they've got.

    Seeing this photo my first thought was to wonder if any of the younger guys were later involved in the coding operation during the Pacific war. That was a small operation that had a huge effect.

    Akubra Overload

    I really like the style. Akubra should reissue it and play up its pedigree.

    Aero Buffalo Check Wool and Leather jacket

    This is the kind of info you can only get here on the FL. I stopped off briefly at the Style Forum the other day and was appalled at the obsession with status and lack of real interest in the garments themselves.This place always has threads like this that are knowledgeable and accurate. Thanks...

    Aero Buffalo Check Wool and Leather jacket

    That was my impression. I remember that kind of wool, though, as my dad had a coat made of it. Kind of like loden - very, very warm. In another combo and a different climate? Absolutely.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    That's one of the very few hats I've ever seen for which the name seemed appropriate. I'm a track man myself.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Without a doubt, my favorite ribbon of the year: the green and white combo really reminds me of the late '40's, early '50's.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    As long as I've been into them (I have six now), I still have to stop and admire a CD every time I see one: It's not a fancy style, yet you can wear it with a suit, and there's something rugged, sort of park-rangery about it. Love this style.

    Movie hats

    The great writer Fred Exley (A Fan's Notes) was from there as well. Great book and darkly funny.

    Movie hats

    I remember seeing a photo of a gang of seven or eight American sailors standing on the deck of a ship, and every one of their hats had a different bash.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I don't think it's a case of the U.S. stock being older, as I believe they haven't changed ownership since before they came out with this particular line. My guess is that at some point after the Addison line came out, about two years ago or so, they began to make a cheaper line in their Mexican...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I recently picked up a brand new pair of Frye Addison Engineers for $210.00 on Ebay (originally priced at $450 to $500). Beautifully made in the U.S. of Horween HH, Goodyear welt construction, and really comfortable, with a rounded toe-box. Incredible steal. I noticed something curious, though...
