    My redone Aero jacket just arrived.

    As Mr.Solo says: please take some shots in daylight. Other then that: great improvement!

    Got my first A-2, is it too big???

    It seems the A2 is the nemesis of everyone looking for the perfect fit. Thank god I haven't fallen for one (yet). That said, I think yours looks fine, except for the sleeves. I would get them shortened right away and never look back. Re the japanese: I've been flicking though an occasional...

    Opinions Wanted on New Jacket Please

    I am usually not crazy about this style of MC jacket, but yours is actually shaking my reservations! I like a a lot of things about it, but they have been mentioned by others earlier. Just two things, one of them minor, bother me: - I don't like it when the waist straps curl up (which is...

    Where to buy a Down Vest?

    Sorry Andy, although you've already set your sights on the Filson, there is one last recommendation I must make: Empire Canvas Works http://www.empirecanvasworks.com/jackpinevest.htm is a tiny outfit from Duluth MN, but they sure know their trade. Great people making dead serious outdoor...

    Where to buy a Down Vest?

    I agree that CG is quite sturdy, however if you are going to wear a backpack with it, I would rather not go for down. Wool is definitely a high tech material, it's just we tend to forget this because it's been around for so long. Finally, I can also recommend primaloft vests. they are much...

    Aero re-lining job. What do you think?

    on two of my aeros the lining was initially sticking out a bit, but with wear it has retracted and isn't visible any more, possibly due to the creases in the fabric that come over time.

    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    I don't think they have them (or many variations at all) on their website. You usually get them custom made, which I went for through Baker Shoes: http://www.bakershoe.com/build-a-boot/ I just told them what I wanted, which was this set-up: 6'' Lace to Toe Smokejumper with: • standard...

    Hi Griff, from left to right: - Farmer/Rancher, double midsole - Smoke Jumpers, composition sole - Packer, composition sole I wish I could tell you what their secret is, but I don't know how they do it. It's certainly a high arch support compared to other boots, but if that does the trick, I...

    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    I also own a pair of those Haferl "Richard" above and quite a number of other shoes, but my idea of what makes for a perfect "tool" for walking has been changed about two years ago. When travelling, I usually walk the whole day to explore a city and as long as it's pavement and not mountains...

    Give me tips on nice leather shoes for the summer

    I have to second JanSolo: Clarks are a good buy. However it should be very easy to find classic deck or boat shoes. They are made for the summer and are not very expensive. Garbstore even has a fashionable and quite competetively priced version...

    *Outdoor pics* New Highwayman arrived today!

    Hi Griff, congratulations! That is definitely one of the best fitting and nicest looking HWYMans I have seen around here. Can't believe you think it's a tad too big though! As somebody said before, I too mostly reach for my Highwayman (and mine is a lot more roomy), because it's the most...

    Iron Heart/Aero Leather Collaboration

    and a pair of White's. I personally also sport a good, but none too fashionable shirt and a TAD Gear Special Service Merino Sweater in the colder months to complete the set up. it works!

    Iron Heart/Aero Leather Collaboration

    Hope this is of interest to you gents. I just found out that two of my favourite brands, Aero Leather of Scotland and Iron Heart of Japan are in the process of producing a jacket together. From what I know Aero has done such special series with selected brands many times before (like Sam...

    Help me choose my next Aero coat for winter

    I own three Aeros, one HWYMan with a cotton drill lining: I wore this for one complete winter at temps as low as -12 C / + 10.4 F. With a shirt and a thick Merino sweater and sometimes a thin primaloft vest underneath, that was all I needed. The only thing is that it's a bit short and doesn't...
