    Aero sleeves -- I can't sleep at night

    Still can't get myself to like the look of a tie with a leather jacket. Else the LHB is a true beauty and fits you very well, as are the boots. I'd too like to know who made them?

    Q's from first-timer ordering '30's-style Aero Half Belt

    here is a slightly better version of that photo (focus): that leather is of course not brown FQHH but seal "jerky" A-2 mid-weight horsehide and the green is a stronger contrast. My brown FQHH Highwayman has matching brown stitching and that's fine too.

    My new Aero Cheyenne

    Hi folks, thanks for the friendly comments everyone! @Cooperson: 11 weeks @JanSolo: again, I would have missed out on half the goodies, if it weren't for your advice! I have to admit the sleeves are very tight on the wrists, but I'll do my best to stretch them... And the jacket was made by...

    My new Aero Cheyenne

    Hi, after seeing JanSolo's superb Cheyenne I could not resist. I considered the Mariner, but finally decided for the Cheyenne. Jan helped me a lot with his suggestions, thank you very much!! Thanks also go to southerwayfare and HoosierDaddy. Your advice is truly invaluable gentlemen! I would...

    White's Boots Custom Options

    forget about the japanese pricing. Prices in the US are not what this importer asks. I was just linking to this site because they have pictures galore, not to encourage ordering through them.

    A new Highwayman and the freezing rain debacle of '09

    congratulations, very nice jacket! I already have a brown HWYMan and a black Cafe Racer, but the black HWY starts to work it's magic on me :-)

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I have a number of shoes from Schuh Bertl: The Monaco (obviously) Haferlschuhe Sanders scotch grain NOS shoes (metal plates removed) and a pair of Bertls 2003 boots. The shoes are the among the best I have and the shop is a beauty. You should really stop by there, if you happen to be in...

    Absolutely stunning jacket! Thank you for sharing!

    A-2 fit

    (stellvertretend: alles bestens verständlich. Nur "interplay" fand ich etwas ungewöhnlich :-) I think the jacket looks as good as it gets with an A-2 on you. As various others have pointed out in earlier threads, a lot of those jackets are worn by people today, that don't quite have the...

    My new Aero Teamster

    very nice one and great fit too! GA (the shop) has an old black 42 Teamster hanging in the back, which I really liked. However, I am not a fan of the busy back in the HB and similar and decided to go with another style with Aero #3 to arrive in November.

    Yet Another Highwayman Advice Request

    On my HWYman one inner pocket shows a bit on the outside and the "frame" of the chest pocket shows as well. On my cafe racer neither the inner nor the outer pockets' frame make a print or dent visible from the outside. I personally don't mind it, but just to let you know this can happen with...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    hi, given it's a teamster and that you are from Bavaria, I guess you got it at Gasoline Alley? Can you post a few pics of your new aquisition? I have been considering this model too and there aren't too many pictures around. Thanks!

    I sincerely hope I did not provoke you, I certainly didn't mean to. My apologies!

    New ELC Hartmann

    I agree that it is not a reason to feel guilt, but it is a chance to take responsibility and prevent history from repeating itself in that respect, in whatever form (it doesn't make it easy for you, by delivering the exact copy to alarm everybody) I think within the context of this forum...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    I believe the main difference is that the travellers have a lower and 90 degrees heel, which will make them more versatile style-wise and also another bit lighter. Regarding the upper construction they seem to be rather similar. btw.I would recommend getting the rolled top, but I feel the...

    New ELC Hartmann

    I would like to add something from my vantage point of a German born in the sixties, that any clothing that would link myself with Nazi Germany would be an absolute no-go for me. Not even as a hoax, much less as a fashion item. Still, I am absolutely fine with Hawk_Eye or JohnnyJohnny...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    As promised my white's. Brown Packers 10", Farmer/Rancher Red Dog double sole 6" and brown 6" Smoke Jumpers. The smoke jumpers weigh in at 1.4 kg per shoe, or 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs) per pair.
