    Have you seen this rubbish?

    Also, I think that an old guy in an old, well-worn jacket in the pinnacle of cool. You look at them and wonder what adventures they have been on and where that jacket has been in their lifetime. An old guy in a brand new jacket isn’t necessarily bad or wrong, but maybe a little more jarring...

    Have you seen this rubbish?

    The thing that’s surprised me the most this season is the number of people asking me if I have a motorcycle. I’ve never connected leathers and motorcycles that closely. Most of the people I see in leather jackets are more punk rock or vintage workwear inspired and most people on motorcycles are...

    FS: Aero Rockafella Size 38

    One bump and then I will accept the fate of the Gods, that this one was meant to stay with me.

    I’ll give this thread one bump before I put them back in the closet.

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    I tend to think of big wale cords as more dressy, suiting a traditional slash pocket, chino cut. Fine wale is a bit more rugged and suitable for jeans. I like moleskin but there is a big difference between the brushed twill we get in Australia and the one-sided velour style moleskin that seems...

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    I’m on the look out for some good quality, fine wale 5 pocket corduroy jeans in tan. Something better than the sweatshop mall brands and definitely no elastic. Straight leg with a higher rise preferred. Also thinking about getting some 5 pocket moleskin in jeans, as well. Maybe I’m a dark green.

    Big Boot Bonanza!!

    Wesco’s are sold! Their current MTO price is ridiculous. I’m surprised they sell many at those prices.

    Big Boot Bonanza!!

    Dayton service boots (9.5EEE). Cordovan domain. These are the heaviest boots I own. Incredibly over-built and solid. I’m on the fence about parting with these and will probably possibly withdraw these from sale. $330

    Big Boot Bonanza!!

    Hi all. I’m considering downsizing my boot collection. Feel free to ask questions or if you would like me to try measuring with a tape. I am a 10 to 10.5 EEE on the Brannock, and all of these fit me well (with the exception of the Mason boots, as noted below). Shipping CONUS: $25 per pair. I...

    FS: Aero Rockafella Size 38

    Overview: I’m considering selling my near-new Size 38 Aero Rockafella half-belt in blackened brown Vicenza with wine sateen lining. Made by the superstar Julie L., received September 2022 and worn a half dozen times. It’s hard to capture in a picture, but there is the slightest hint of brown...

    What is wrong with me?

    I’ve been buying more tailored clothing lately- stuff I can wear to the office. Maybe more ‘practical’ in that looking professional is arguably good for one’s career. Maybe more ‘dressing my age’. Or maybe just rotating my hyperfixations that are all somehow rooted in old insecurities...

    Aero leather choices/options (End of 2022)

    I have two BB Vic jackets and am a big fan of the that hide, but I’ll add that the current batch is the best I’ve seen - wonderful thickness, grain and perfect degree of brown ready to poke through.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    My wife has a pea coat just like this in a deep red wool. This might be her entry into the world of leather outerwear.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I really like this one. If it were me, I think I’d like it enough to pay to get the waist/opening taken in a bit.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    If these other brands made boots in my size, I’d definitely be interested. For me, the big advantage of the good Indonesian makers is the custom fit - even for my wide feet. I do understand that that is also a two edged sword as many have been unhappy with the fit they received.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Very happy with my horsehide Benzeins. Yes, I also have some chunky Wescos which are undoubtedly sturdier. But there is no way I would have found a sleek/dressy engineer boot like these that would fit me for less than three times what I paid for these last year.
