    Help needed, which A2 maker?

    Well, no idea about A2s, but last time I looked both Greece and the UK were in the EU, no matter what Mr. Cameron says, so as far as I know no import taxes are to be paid when you order from a company in Greece. When ordering from the US, taxes will be due.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    You're quite right and I agree Maxwedge had a point here. Most members of TFL are by no means "blue collar types", quite to the contrary. Blue collar workers simply couldn't afford the toys some members here own and they'ld call us insane to spend that kind of money for boots or jackets. But we...

    Veg v. Chrome Tanning

    There are many fields in which such a "naive" way looking at it - pure = best, blend = less - would simply give you a nonsense result, so I call this a weak point. See, I can argue with that.

    What do you say to your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

    My girlfriend actually encourages me to get things, like shoes, jackets, hats, watches. For one, she knows it makes me happy, and then she also likes me well dressed and gromed. We have a bit of a banter amongst us, as she likes buying stuff as well, and each uses the own money, so why sneaking...

    Aero's Button Sleeve

    On my Pioneer the button is mere decoration, so, yes, buttoned.;)

    Bill Kelso A2 Arco 18775 after 6 months (perfect!)

    Great jacket and fit. Would be even better with the shirt tucked...;)

    Lost Worlds

    Well, LW seems to have solid business, so what? I could imagine that quite some folks dig that super-manly attitude and buy because, not in spite of.;)

    Dealing with "Buyers Remorse"

    Ah, c'mon, you only spent money on this, ok? Money, nothing else. Clean up the closet, get things to the bay or some charity, and then get yourself a nice, cool leather-jacket. Fight fire with fire, y'know.:)

    You say these haircuts have been caused by too hot washing? Quite fascinating. :)

    Aero jacket length comparison

    AFAIK are the LHB, the Hercules and the Teamster all the same length and the same overall cut, with action-back, halfbelt and side-adjusters. I have the LHB in FQHH (sometimes I wish it would be the Teamster, definitely like the style!) and, albeit it's heavy, I manage...;)

    Aero Oil Pull Leather - please show pics!

    The Kudu is much more grainy, I have the Pioneer made of it:

    Long Half Belt

    The LHB was my first real good leather-jacket and my first Aero. I seriously love the thing, have it with no mods, only an inch longer in the torso. The fit is roomy, shoulders are sagging, the flap-pockets are bulky and the action-back too busy, but as it is, it works. :) It's my...

    The Onion is just plain great. Have it in my favorites. :)

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Wolverine 1000 miles are beautiful, I fell in love with them myself. So far the Price of 400,- Euro in Europe is a bit prohibitive... ;)

    Thedi Leathers, thoughts?

    In Germany it is pretty easy for someone living outside Germany to get the VAT back, you only need the tax-receipt. Then you simply apply for refund once you leave the country, usually at the Airport. Don't they have tax-receipts in Greece, nowadays? ;)

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Will, you're right, these are rugged boots, ok. But then, they are quite expensive boots, too. I mean, if I want boots to wear on the construction site, I go to the hardwear-shop and buy a pair for 100 bucks and no matter what they look like. But like most other, I asume, I wear these things...

    You know, polishing shoes is not generally regarded as inferior task...;) No, honestly, leather needs some maintenance to hold up. You will be rewarded by longer living, nicer looking and better wearing shoes, believe me.

    Alexander leathers Denim Hunters new article

    Funny! An article about AL without mentioning Aeroleather even once? Not to stirr the pot, but anyway...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Received my first pair of Red Wings yesterday, the classic 8111. First resumé: Very nice shoe, supple leather, tough and rough but actually quite comfortable. True to size. My girlfriend loves them, she wants some for herself, but alas, no such small sizes available.;) The only point of...

    what kind of shoes with a leather jacket

    Normally some nice full-brogues in a tad lighter shade than my LHB in brown or a bit darker suede chucks. This week I hope to do a transition to Iron Rangers in Amber Harness, though. ;)
