    I know BK has plenty of Russet in stock. I have been waiting 3 weeks for my my Russet jacket. I do not have the feeling it will be coming any time soon. Read some where BK have quite a long que. I think 2-3 months more likely, sooner would be good but 2/3 months is ok too.

    Bill Kelso's New Californian half belt, a new release I think.

    Agree guys, the proofs in the pudding so to speak, they make beautiful jackets no question. Perhaps showing BK jacket pics will be all the promoting they will need.

    Bill Kelso's New Californian half belt, a new release I think.

    This is probably me being paranoid but do you think this will have some negative impact on us guys who are awaiting jackets?

    Bill Kelso's New Californian half belt, a new release I think.

    I'll miss his input, he (and Andy) added a bit of spice to both forums (it also made for a fun read!). I imagine it may not do their business much good though. Shame. I hope they maybe allowed back in some time.

    Bill Kelso's New Californian half belt, a new release I think.

    I believe its 3.5 staff; Platon, Andy , part time cutter and some one to sew them up. My experience with BK has so far been a positive one.

    Bill Kelso's New Californian half belt, a new release I think.

    I have a BK Waldo Pepper on order. Andy has been great answering my questions and very accommodating with customizations too. I reckon BK/Andy are just very busy and subsequently emails to customers are like buses none for ages then two/three turn up! well that's been my experience so far...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Thanks Schitzo, BK Andy told me their veg tanned leather is sprayed with a top coat that protects the leather, however, Andy says this top coat will eventually break down with wear. He did not say what will happen after this? I thought perhaps Carrie and BK's sourced their leather from same if...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Carrie, I have a BK russet veg tanned jacket on order. How might your veg tanned leather differ from BK who rate theirs as amongst the best available. Just curious as this will be first venture into veg tanned leather. Any tips on its care would be most welcome. An area I am quite nervous about...

    Bill Kelso Star A-2

    I am in the process of buying a BK jacket and so far Andy has been great with me. I find myself appologising every time i send an email in part cos i do not want to be one of them 50 email guys, that would drive me insane too. So far its been 4/5 emails the next should be the final order. I am...

    What is it about horsehide?

    I love my FQHH HWM, calling it garbage I find almost offensive not to mention ridiculous. The fact it is heavy & stiff (until warmed up a bit) is part of the appeal, you are constantly being reminded you are wearing an awesome quality item.

    Bill Kelso Aeronaut A1- Which Lining Should I Choose?

    I nearly went for the Aeronaught but bottled out not sure I have the confidence to wear that collar but it does look cool. I'm now going for the Waldo Pepper. I'd go for a plain lining, easier on the eye. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    Thanks guys seems BK is the one to go for. Thanks for the offer Dr H, could I just settle for your opinion and thoughts about your A1, particularly the collar? What's an Admiral A1 Schitzo?

    Excellent point Vespizzare and doesn't Redford look so cool in that jacket. Cheers.

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    Thanks Vespizzare, love to see some pics of your Waldo. I am cursing myself at the moment with fresh doubts! A tad uncertain about the collar on the Waldo, looks ever so slightly awkward, like an after thought. Given the price it's got to be right don't you agree? Anyhow my attention is now...

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    Thanks guys, the russet capeskin is really lovely Nick123. I missed that, didn't scroll down far enough. I have heard Capeskin (sheep skin?) is a bit fragile and prone to tears and the like. Good to know Thor & Dr H that your experience with BK has been positive. I am still awaiting a reply from...

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    Hello Loungers I have succumbed to the urge to add to my humble collection of three jackets. I have an agreement with myself that any new jacket I purchase must differ from all the others that I own. My current collection consists of a Highwayman, A2 & an Irvin. This time I fancy some thing...

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    I'd like t second that, we need to be careful not to get too full of ourselves. There's a place in every ones wardrobe for a bit of mall gear..and some of it is fine in my opinion.

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    Hi Worf, just curious, I have a Bose, i'm no hi-fi buff but I always Bose were pretty good! On the subject of leather I agree, Timberland often produce some very nice jackets at crazy prices, £700 up! But not a patch on my Highwayman in my opinion.
