    info on this schott?

    Really impressive workmanship. Not what I'd expect on a police jacket. Beautiful hide, too.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    FYI this is the OEM manufacturer for Drake's shoes of the same kind which is a big endorsement.

    Vintage Burberry’s Leather Jacket – Lamb Nappa

    It's worthless to us but this style is back so some zoomer might want to buy it.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    I don't know about the polyblend versions (although I expect there's a similar solution) but Nikwax Cotton Proof does the trick for my cotton field jackets.

    They’ll just try to get you in the slimmest thing possible.

    No feelings hurt. No one is missing anything from your lack of participation. But if you find our advice and experience suspect, I don't see what you get out of lurking.

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    Tbh with my experience with Irvins both from the war and repro, I would say it’s a good thing if it’s at least a size big. I regret going only one size up!

    You’re presenting them like an argument when no one here disagrees.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Why are you trying to argue with me? I'm praising Vanson's jackets, have spent time at their factory, talked to Mr (and Mrs) Vanson, etc.

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

    By stacking a coupon on top of a sale I had a pure camelhair polo coat coming for almost half price... Only to get an email saying that my order can't be fulfilled because they were out of stock at the warehouse.

    Huh? I just described the pattern as ideal.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    My experience with Model B and Comet is that the sleeves are cut with a lot of room yet cinch up tight when you do the forearm zips. This is ideal imo.

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    Aero themselves have a children's line. Maybe the biggest child size with length added would actually work.

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    I guess I was in the weird position where I knew enough about clothing that the fit jacket process was mostly pointless (not to mention, though I didn't realize it at the time, they sent me the fit jacket of a different jacket from the one I ordered because they thought it's a better jacket…)...

    New Eastman RAF Fly Weight

    Looks to be the same colour as my Aero merino. Maybe the same supplier? I was a bit underwhelmed by mine, not because of any lack in quality but because the merino colour as of this year was no longer the deep reddish russet of the first batch (which I had been expecting).

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    I've been mostly quiet about this for three years because everyone else has such good experiences, but I would definitely not recommend the Thurston route to anybody. If they are out of executive judgment ordering a different jacket for you than the one you ordered, because they think it fits...

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    This is not what I’m saying… Our unanimous point about fit isn’t that you won’t know what fits well or badly until it’s worn in. It’s that the nature of leather means customization generally doesn’t help; a well developed and established pattern is much more important. I don’t have experience...

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    I honestly have no idea what you're talking about here. What do you mean "after 5-10 years that perfectly fitted jacket would be a waste anyway"? That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that custom jackets are not just not necessary for this stuff. I'm saying that they are usually worse...
