    Five new jackets my recent jacket rotation responding to loosing weigh

    Very nice collection of styles. I remember seeing that Barnstormer in the classifieds, a real tour de force! Best wishes for your recovery.

    Burgundy Leather - Nickel or Brass Hardware?

    Antique brass for me, every time.

    How is the length of this jacket?

    I'd be very surprised if the jacket gained length, in my experience it's more likely to loose 1/2" as creases form.

    Is it possible to safely stretch heavy steerhide in length?

    I managed to stretch the sleeves on a vintage horsehide Halfbelt and gained 1/2". Soaked the leather right through with warm water then hung it up on a padded hanger, the trick was then to fill two large plastic pop bottles with water and slide them down the arm holes until they wedged at the...

    What do you use to shave?

    When I have enough time in the morning, this is me: Edwin Jagger DE & Badger, Astra Platinum blades and my all time favourite TOBS cream 'Mr Taylors' - just love the smell of this stuff!

    Leather Jacket Referb

    20 years should be nothing for a quality leather jacket, could you give details of the make and type of hide?

    Goodwear Monarch Light Russet fit

    I'm not really qualified to comment here as I've never owned an A-2, but I do appreciate the appeal and the style - I might even be tempted myself one day. That being said, if I ever do get into the A-2 thing, I'd want a trim fit rather than a baggy one any day. I'd say yours is about right.

    ^ That's a beautiful half belt!

    RL Half Belt

    I'm a collar man myself, if they're not right it drives me crazy. Been asked if I have any better photos, took a few today in better light. Don't know what breed these Chinese cows are, but they've got some grain going on:

    RL Half Belt

    BobJ, ProteinNerd, LOfielectronic, pauleway - Thank you chaps. Roma - this is a centre pleated back, others will correct me if I'm wrong but I understood the bi-swing is the type you see on the Aero long half belt or teamster? Edward - I've no idea what the full retail would've been on this...

    RL Half Belt

    Sloan1874, Superfluous, HD, ton312, Monitor, pawinguy - Thank you gentlemen. I've had more than my share of eBay disappointments, especially vintage half belts, this will probably be a keeper. technovox - the back pleat works a treat, like my Pioneer. The buttons on the cuff straps look...

    RL Half Belt

    Cheers thor, like I said I would never normally look at fashion jackets but this one isn't half bad - good enough for gardening in :-)

    RL Half Belt

    Ok, so I know it's not a good idea to search eBay jackets when you've just got back from the pub, but I spotted this Ralph Lauren half belt at a very low 'buy it now' and before I knew what had happened I'd bought it. Although I've never been a fan of fashion leather, this had so much vintage...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't our Mr Lauder a heavy smoker? Just wondering how jackets that were stored for years in a smokers terraced home could be classified as "smoke free all the way"? Some buyers might not be sensitive to such things but, for some, jacket odours can be a real deal...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I'm up for a bargain with the best of them but, given how leather readily absorbs odours from its environment, I would want to know exactly where theses jackets were stored and for how long. I've had some bad experiences buying jackets from the homes of smokers and those that store jackets in...
