    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Good to know. Buy the way I emailed Mark Moye, and he doesnt have any photos of the jacket on a real person. Im just trying to get an idea of how it looks. The way the jacket is built, it looks like it would make even the most slender of people look a bit round.

    No, I havent ever worn horsehide...you think it would be quite stiff in the colder temperatures?

    No I hadnt thought of that. I'll give it a try though, thanks.

    In search of a tough as nails shearling jacket, advice needed.

    I posted a thread a few days ago requesting photos of people wearing Aero Shaw FQHH Barnstormers, but didnt get any replies from anyone. Seems like many people hold a very high opinion of these jackets...any idea why I cant get any photos? I want to see how they look on a person and off of...

    Weird...with all the people that seem to love the Aero barnstormer, I would have thought someone would have had some photos to share. [huh]

    Aero Shawl Collar Barnstormer FQHH Photo Request Ive seen this jacket on the Aero website http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/webapp/aeroleather/servlet/AeroViewPage?page=displayproduct&subcatid=38&prodid=704 and on the aero USA website, but I have yet to see photos of it on a real person.

    What is Shearling meant to be like?

    I see...I was assuming that they tried to use this as a selling feature as if stating: "the german airforces use it, so the quality must be exceptional". What did she say about your concerns? I know some shearling shedding is pretty normal from what I have read. Are you comfortable enough...

    What is Shearling meant to be like?

    But it sounds like this company is speaking of the quality of their items as if they are put to the test in battle. I have seen their ebay ads, I just have found it a bit misleading. It really doesnt say anything about the quality or ruggedness of the jacket. The only way an item (at least...

    What is Shearling meant to be like?

    I saw that photo too floating around...and Im not trying to rain on your parade at all. The one thing that struck me as odd though, in cramped jets, where arm and shoulder movement, fine motor skills, etc are so critical. Why in today's society with lighter, flexible, and more rugged materials...

    What is Shearling meant to be like?

    The jacket I was referencing previously was the cabelas b3. Its great for a knock around jacket and daily wear and is about the cheapest new shearling you can get. If your working around heavy equipment, iron, steel, sharp objects, etc. its just going to get destroyed. For a cheap jacket its...

    Is there such thing as a moth proof / cat proof / travel proof garment bags for coats

    Will those citrus air fresheners harm the leather in any way? I have also seen these for sale, I was thinking they could protect against moths and claws. http://www.homestoragewarehouse.com/product_info.php?products_id=914

    What is Shearling meant to be like?

    It looks soft and cheap like you had described. I have had a shearling like this in the past. It lasted a fair amount of time for the cost, probably 6 or 7 years of light use and it was warm, but I had to watch everything I rubbed up against because it would scuff and tear very easy compared...

    Is there such thing as a moth proof / cat proof / travel proof garment bags for coats

    Its all wood flooring. In our apartment we did the use double sided tape, but it really destroyed the wood, I dont want to do that in the house. We will be getting a dog in the next year or so too though, but that will probably just give the cats more incentive to get into the closet to get...

    Is there such thing as a moth proof / cat proof / travel proof garment bags for coats

    Too important to get rid of, thats for sure. I did find childproof locks for sliding doors that will be able to keep the cats out. I also saw a bunch different heavy canvas garment bags online that can protect the coats while hanging in the closed from the chance of a cat slipping in...

    What is Shearling meant to be like?

    I am absolutely no expert on shearling, but in the past when I have wanted thick shearling but was on a tight budget, I have gone with jackets that use more panels rather than pay for larger more uniform panels to be used. This brings the cost down significantly. It may not be as pretty, but...

    Is there such thing as a moth proof / cat proof / travel proof garment bags for coats

    I meant actually for my good leather coats, not linen garments. As far as the cats, actually Ive moved since this incident, so its a new closet, but still the same issues with the sliding doors. He has gotten in there twice, but I have gotten him out both times fairly quickly. He is a...

    Is there such thing as a moth proof / cat proof / travel proof garment bags for coats

    I have a closet just for my coats. However, every now and then someone accidentally opens it a crack and one of the cats squeeze in. One time one of my cats got trapped in there for about 24 hours and climbed up my coats to try and escape, then urinated on the coats that he manager to knock...

    In search of a tough as nails shearling jacket, advice needed.

    I have to tell you, that surprisingly (to me anyway), I definitely like the regular brown better, the color seems to have more depth.

    Custom Aero Cossack

    When I told them the size of my arms, I was told that "Whilst we cant change the patterns, we can make more room in that area when cutting the leather and taking smaller seams whilst turning to give more room in that area..." I took that to mean they could make adjustments, but not...

    Custom Aero Cossack

    I have the same problem with ft! I have a similar chest size and a waist size that is about 2" larger, but Im only 5'9" which makes sleeve lengths about impossible in standard size jackets. I wear a 50 or 52 as well, but the main problem is my arms and shoulders more than my chest . Im most...
