    Any good suit recommendations?

    I would push back strongly against the suggestion of Suit Supply. And I think linen is being unfairly dismissed however it is likely irrelevant because one's only suit shouldn't be linen. I'm not sure what you mean by "well fitted and classy looking". You mention Tom Ford; the brand's standard...

    Anyone know (roughly) how much it cost to ship a jacket from the US to the UK?

    Not to worry. EMS is the most expensive option.

    -15% at Aero, but only this week.

    There's been a significant jump in RoW prices too, by a couple of hundred pounds in most cases. Even the unlined suede jacket that was introduced a few months ago as a more affordable jacket at the 500 pound price point is now nearly 800.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I don't think it would even cost more money, given that he'd have to pay the cost of shipping his Barbour across the world, and a jacket like this would cost quite a bit in leather and patterning. So in this case Goldtop takes the work away and lets him focus on the product.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Five Star is usually very good at duplicating a garment but there are a lot of moving parts here with a jacket this complicated. I'd suggest going to Goldtop route since they've done the work for you. (They are themselves another of the older British motorcycling brands, revived a few years...

    Aero Hooch Hauler Thread 2022

    I know many people here have had good experiences. In my case I paid a considerable premium over ordering direct from Aero + got a completely different jacket from what I ordered (by design, not accident, because they're philosophically opposed to people getting the short 50s cut motorcycle...

    Aero Hooch Hauler Thread 2022

    If you're going to go the Thurston route for Aero, be prepared to push back hard; otherwise they are likely to get you into a much slimmer jacket than you should be in. It's possible they don't do this for Vanson so I can't say.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Not longer as a standard offering (I believe their horsehide supplier was the same tannery that burned down) but special collaborations have featured it. For instance, Butterscotch in LA did a 2mm Horween horsehide jacket with them.

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    It genuinely looks better than the $1100 Buco repro that post-Schott Legendary put out.

    STRUM LEATHER ?

    Honestly the heroin-chic Hedi leather jacket look is really passé at this point. People here will often say things like "unlike you TFLers I'm fashionable and wear SKINNY JEANS" or some other thing that's been out of fashion for a good five years or "unlike you TFLers I'm not obsessed with...

    STRUM LEATHER ?

    What do you mean by purists? The stuff there just looks bad and I'm not sure what about it registers as dressy to you. If anything it looks even more casual than a motorcycle jacket with the bag shape. For the price of one of those hideous jackets, you could a number of great things. Forget...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Not actually the wrong side of the forum because I’m wearing an RRL chambray shirt. (Also the lounge suit itself was originally workwear!)

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    Sounds like cost-cutting to me.

    Technically isn't it a multi-piece back given the side panels? ;)

    Where YOU can buy heavy overcoats today (28oz-32oz)

    It depends. It's easy to find pea coats and Mackinaws used. In their own way, hyper formal outerwear like opera capes are also fairly easy to find in good condition. Wool coats that are in between, like polo coats and Ulsters, tended to have been worn hard and will be considerably damaged from...

    Where YOU can buy heavy overcoats today (28oz-32oz)

    I realize it's a bit unusual to describe full-price RL as a deal, but nevertheless I think I've found a deal. It wasn't immediately accessible on the RL site; I actually found it by accident via a Google search for something else, but they have a polo coat in a beautiful tweed custom woven for...

    First cool post here in a while, haha.

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    If you do it you shouldn't without a pocket holster. Especially a striker fired gun; Glock belly doesn't sound great. The pocket is sized for a 1911 so it's actually way too big for most things lol. A good chunk of the models do, except the cafe racers of course. But as mentioned above...

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    To be honest, this part baffled me when you first mentioned it. By asking them to do this, you lost the advantage that came with them duplicating his original. Yes they can grade patterns but 46 and 44 are so close, let alone vintage 46 which is more like a 42! Why not go with the sure thing?
