    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Up until now I have only worn Red Wing boots (except for some italien made dress boots I purchased while being in italy). But reading through this thread I am getting intruiged by the Viberg Service Boot in the 2030 last (or the ones looking similar). Now I am wondering which size I would...

    Looks beatiful, but I don't like the fact, that it is a teacore leather. I prefer them dyed through.

    I ordered the leather hem anyway, so I might be fine. But if possible will change the lining you to be shure. Thanks for the pictures!

    Field Leathers

    I forgot one thing: Zippers. I ordered Talon No. 5 assuming Greg wouldnt offer nothing but the best. But lately I am reading horror stories about failing repro Talons. What is your take and what would chose? Reliability is important but looks as well - I don't like the look of a No. 10 but...

    My FL jacket is due to be made in just a short while, so almost no time left for changes. Reading another thread ("What is the allure of japanese leather jackets?) I came across somthing that was new to me. Since many folks are using this thread to inform themselfs about the options Greg is...

    I just recieved my mock-up and a couple of leather samples to choose from. 3 shades of black and navy-blue. My particular examples differ in thickness also full aniline black and navy pigment being the thickest at 1.2 - 1.3 mm and both teacore and semianiline pony at 1 mm. The former are...

    @Tom71 Thanks for your helpful remarks! I also had a very useful and detailed conversation with Roman,the owner of that jacket, and I would like to share the things he experienced regarding my questions above. Maybe they are useful for some of you as well. 1) Inner pockets According to Roman the...

    I got a mail recently informing me that my number is up and I should provide my measurements and my wishes for my jacket. I am going for a modified Route 66 with a dress collar and without sleeve zippers and without breast pockets. Like this one...

    Help! Unbranded jeans feel crushing my balls

    What model did you choose? I am looking for an alternative for my APC Standard which I find to be too short in the leg.

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    I cant really compare all three leathers but I must say that I don't find my example to be boring at all. Vicenza russet :

    The Cap Faction

    You should use hot stream and then stretch gently. Sehen you are satisfied just wear it until it is dry and cold again. No need to soak it completly. I got this advise myself from Hanna Hats, Donegal, Ireland, whose caps I hold in the highest regard. Good luck, Daniel

    Field Leathers

    A question towards the owners of the Idaho model. Does the center vent have a real function or is it more of a design choice? I think it looks great when not fully in action so to speek, but I am not sure if I like the look of basically a large gaping pleat. Is there any mechanism to pull the...

    Aero Premier Highwayman - does it fit?

    Thanks for this advise. I will talk to Greg about this when it's my turn to get one of his famed bespoke jackets. I have read though this thread and I am intrigued but then I am afraid of ruining the jacket. I think I shall postpone this until the honeymoon is over. ;)

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    Aero Premier Highwayman - does it fit?

    Thanks! Good advice. I live in Germany, so light layering is necessary for 6 - 7 months. I usally wear a shirt and a thin jumper (John Smedley). It works with the hwm but just so...
