Valentines Day?
I'll be spending Valentine's Day all alone. Absolutely alone, without a single living thing to share it with. No dog, cat or mouse. Not even an insect, microbe or hatching larvae... Nothing! Through salty tears of hopelessness and despair, I'll fumble my way to the television, and play Sleepless...- Lear

Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
Can I reply to myself? OK, the programme was called Style on Trial. I've found two links that might help: http://www.lgblog.co.uk/2009/01/30/style-on-trial/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00gkqxl Somebody on SF must surely have mentioned this programme before. If not, I guarantee that...- Lear

The "Pleasing Phrase" Thread
My favourite is when an old-timer says, "The time is five and twenty past." Knowing that this simple little phrase will never return, is sad. :( Lear- Lear

Which decade is the worst in terms of style?
A television programme aired in the UK last year. Each hour long episode looked in detail at a particular decade, from the 1930's up to the 1990's (think I've got that right). In the last programme, the panel of experts had to vote for their best/worst decade. Very well made, with plenty of...- Lear

Who was the ODDest person you ever knew?...
I'd rather not go into the details of the first 'soaking'. She works/worked in an industry where appearance is everything, and for all I know, might frequent these discussion boards. I am at least still on speaking terms with the 'second incident' lady. At this 'soaking' we had simply been...- Lear

Who was the ODDest person you ever knew?...
Well, this was the oddest restaurant chair (that's right), that somehow transferred its oddness to whoever sat in it... About three years ago, I took a stunning woman to my favorite restaurant. The courses kept coming and the wine (for her) was ordered. Everything appeared to be going...- Lear

New to the board and looking for a little advice on a highwayman order
Yep, as said above, OD is cotton. I had it put into my latest Aero coat. I'd previously gone for the standard brown cotton, into exactly the same model coat. The OD feels a little stronger (stiffer) to the touch, with a harder surface. The differences aren't that great. When wearing, they both...- Lear

Ancestry of a slob
Moderator - Would it be possible to move this entire thread to the Display Case? My mistake for posting here. This is the brother of my maternal grandmother. Picture taken in Jamaica. I can't provide a date. After suffering shell shock in WW1, he'd stroll down the Strand, London, believing he...- Lear

Goatskin vs Horse Hide
Just in case you had your heart set on the very thick goatskin, as shown by JanSolo; Aero are trying to discourage the use of this hard to find hefty stuff for the large coats. I'm not sure if this applies to just the larger expanses required for the coats, or the shorter jackets as well...- Lear

New Aeroleather LHB just arrived!
Wow! :eusa_clap Thanks for posting those pics andy richards. I do like the LHB. It looks halfway between a coat and a jacket. One day, I'll post some of my Aero coats in natural light, preferably being worn. It's a very nice piece of FQHH you have there, and you wear it well. Start your...- Lear

New Aeroleather LHB just arrived!
I'm going to have to stop reading FL. Every time a new Aero comes in, I get as excited as if it were my own. Anyway, very nice LHB Andy Richards. If possible, pics of it under natural light would be nice. I think a lot of folk have taken ideas from JanSolo. I also have the OD lining. What...- Lear

Aero cordovan & brown FQHH sufficiently different?
So... I'm not as mad as I thought. EDIT - Actually, I am. I'm wondering if there's a Horween whiskey horsehide. Maybe I'm confusing it with the smaller pieces of cordovan (the material, not the colour) used in shoes. If such a thing does exist, Aero should bring it into their range. That's...- Lear

Aero cordovan & brown FQHH sufficiently different?
I'm pretty much stuck on the Aero Veste coat. I have my size figured and love the style. So... would another Veste in brown FQHH, look sufficiently different to my current cordovan FQHH? The only thing that's putting me off black (never seen it, other than in pics), is that it might look like...- Lear

New Veste de Rallye arrived today (Nov 5 2009)
Don't want to quote everyone just to say thanks; but thanks. Height 6'2" Weight 15 Stones exactly My peculiarity (apart from the fact that I post on FL) is that I have the chest of a 48 (suit), but the shoulders of a 46 (suit). Have been told this by two different tailors. Yes, it was a...- Lear

New Veste de Rallye arrived today (Nov 5 2009)
Your thoughts on this please... The old 48 Veste had a 5 inch strip of FQHH running down each side (shown below): I thought this might be the reason for so much front to rear depth, and the cause of the bell shaped look. I don't think the Stockman has these side strips. When I asked Aero...- Lear
