    New Aero D-Pocket Ridley-Blackened Brown Vicenza

    I'll see if I can get some pics soon. I really enjoy this jacket in part because it so different from any other leather I've worn. In terms of the blackened brown aspect, its quite resilient, not seeing any real wearing of the top coat. I don't have a macro lens but I'll see if I can get some...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    That Monarch is beautiful, and the lining really sets it off. Nice one all around.

    Engineer boots sizing, Chippewa, Wesco, Red Wing

    I've got the Red Wing 2268/2972 (whichever has the steel toe) and three pairs of Wesco MP bosses, all in 10.5. I have both the D and E width in the bosses and find both widths comfortable. The width difference seems to me to be less than the volume difference from wearing different socks. I...

    Wesco Jobmasters (10D) and Wesco Morrison (10.5D) and Red Wing Beckman (10.5D)

    My brannock is 11D, wear 10.5D/E in all the boots I have. The jobmasters here are a little too snug.

    Thoughts on The Real McCoy peacoat vs the Private White VC peacoat

    I recently picked up Private White VC's Field Coat and its pretty much top notch. Construction is superlative and the details are both functional and aesthetic. Love the copper two-way zip. Either option here is great. RMC is definitely in the high end repro game while PWVC has a legacy making...

    Aero Sheene- Fit Advice and Creative Guidance

    No special treatment, I just quickly form it whenever I put it on, kind of a collar check if you will.

    Nope, this is Chromexcel black horsehide.

    Aero Sheene- Fit Advice and Creative Guidance

    I got a new camera and took the Sheene out to get some sun. Still figuring out the camera (so much to learn) but thought it did a deednt job of capturing the wear on the black CXL. I've had this jacket for about 18 months now and wear it as often as possible, pretty pleased with how its breaking...

    Backpack For Schott Perfecto

    I would avoid going the leather and canvas backpack route, they weigh significantly more which could make the wear on the jacket much worse. I would find a high quality textile backpack that is as light as possible and modify the straps instead. The best approach would be stitching something...

    New Sheene version 3.0

    Looks great, Sheene gets my vote as Aero's most wearable jacket. The August collar is a nice touch here, it works well with the cordovan and the tartan.

    Thedi! Thedi! Thedi!

    Exactly. I bought the Thedi below from the classifieds here and find the pocket construction perfect. I think the same construction would look a lot more elegant in place of the large single welt design. You could still get the contrast between the welt leather and the front panel (like the...

    Thedi! Thedi! Thedi!

    I was referring to the shawl collar, farthest right on the last picture. The grizzly on the left of the same picture has the same issue for me, but less obviously.

    Thedi! Thedi! Thedi!

    Thedi's designs are always fun to look at, and he's really carved out a creative space for himself. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the single-welt hand warmers that show up on a lot of his designs. They just seem so out of place on otherwise sleek pieces. That olive and black hair-on-hide...

    Aero Bootlegger in Brown Steer

    Really wanted to be the one to keep this jacket but its just a little too big for me. It works well for layering but in Texas there's isn't enough opportunity to wear so I'd rather someone else enjoy it. Really incredible take on the bootlegger. Notable details are the Aero Camp label, front...

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    I have handled a lot of Wesco's waxed domain leathers and they are incredibly nice across the board. I think they use the Seidel tannery for their waxed leathers. Their stock leathers are more in the vein of Red Wing's non-heritage work boot lines--tough leather but not great aesthetically. The...
