    Non-invasive shoulder pad modification?

    i pulled the shoulder pads from a late 70s early 80s deerskin shirt jacket recently. was an easy job for two reasons padding was foam bonded to fabric and just cut the pad along the seam that connected the shoulder to the arm and pulled the two respective pieces off also helped that the lining...

    Aero lining with corduroy

    ill back you on this plumbline admittedly one of my favorite jackets has more then a touch of A-2 but i cant stand the knits everywhere and the general hang of the A2. but on the general discussion of this thread corduroy lining sounds like a brilliant plan in the body at least

    Aero Barnstormer on eBay

    hmm i don't know what the lounge "consensus" :D is on sleeve length these days but in Panacheland they would be sitting an inch plus short of my wrist considering he measures those sleeves at 17in from pit to cuff and what i have in my closet ranges in the 18-19 range all broken in. still very...

    I saw this and almost broke my no new jackets for 2012 pledge and jumped on it. its my size, color, every thing except the sleeves which are at least 2 inches too short for my orangutan arms.

    So I have a big head...

    London retro shops recommendations?

    its not that rocket is bad ive found some cool stuff there a few times its just for me most times when i go in i spend more time searching then ever finding. If you have time to spare go for it there are some goods to be found but if on a truncated timescale you may want to skip it

    London retro shops recommendations?

    depending on the decade your looking for and the day you are looking i can recommend a few areas if not many stores some of the other loungers may be able to help with specific shops Camden market- go any day, but week days avoid the crowds. it is full of tourist trap stuff but there are a...

    Lincoln Potter's Leather Jacket

    Its holding up well. when i got it was a size large which was a size too large on me partially due to weight loss and due to Petermans habit of excessive sizing i had it taken in on the sides by the folks at wested who did a bang up job its still a little long in all the right places and has...

    Aero London Stockists

    Are you sir questioning the validity of my statements? Oh I get it this is that British thing you folks call winding someone up. Well played sir. I can assure you the jackets in question were without a doubt Scottish made aeros in steer-hide and were of tip top quality. why they were so...

    First Aero: Highwayman or Stuart

    My vote goes with the stuart. It is the more interesting style and as such may have more character. Not to say the highwayman is boring just a little safe. but like the other punters have pointed out it is perhaps the more flexible jacket style. as far as leather choices go i cant speak to much...
