    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hi Marc - that looks really great! Which Urad product did you use and how would you say it differs from Pecards, if you have had a chance to compare the two?

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    I have also been thinking of a pair of thee for the winter months for a while now - if you could post a review after a bit of roadtesting that would be really appreciated. They do look amazing I have to say!

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    This is exactly my experience of the black badalassi - it is really special and I was so impressed with it on my last crosszip that I placed on order for a follow up with the same hide in a Wayfarer pretty much immediately! I was told they will be adding it to their regular line up so hopefully...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Yes - I find it amazing how nonchalant folk were in those days about such things - compared with our risk-averse modern world - here is a shot from my grandad's WW1 scrapbook of one of his “slight miscalculations” as an example!

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Yes - Tricker's are one of my favourites - and they do have a sale on now - well worth the money and they are both smart and sturdy. Not as dressy as Lobb, Cleverley or Edward Green and I think they work better with leather jackets as a result, especially given their long history in making...

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    Thanks! Yes, I was experimenting a bit with different moto/aviator combos - the blue one was first and that had button cuffs, no snaps on the lapels and a plain back with a kidney panel - the black one has zip sleeves, snaps on both sets of lapels, epaulettes and a single Western yoke on the...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    I have also posted this photo in The Front Parlour, but thought it might be of interest here too - my grandfather was an early aviator who was taught to fly by Orville Wright, and he took this photo of a couple of female aviators circa 1914/15 on one of the training biplanes at the Wright...

    Any suggestion for B3 Ladies manufacturers?

    I thought this might be of interest - my grandfather was an early aviator, who was trained to fly by Orville Wright - he took this shot of a couple of pioneer female aviators at the Wright Brothers Flying School on one of the first training machines with dual controls - this would be around...

    Aero long half belt - goat skin and shearling

    Maybe a “peagoat” might be more feasible than a “trenchgoat” given the limits on hide size….that would be interesting with a contrasting outer vs a shearling lining and collar…

    Aero long half belt - goat skin and shearling

    Yes - I think CXL is good in the wet but gets too stiff when it starts to get really cold, so goat seems the better bet for dealing with the rain with shearling lining for the warmth.

    Aero long half belt - goat skin and shearling

    I like the sound of a “trenchgoat” - I wonder if such a beast exists among the FL members…? It would be the perfect hide for the drape. I have a goat A1 that I cannibalised (cut off the bottom knits and rehemmed by hand) that I think has the best drape of all my jackets - it looked awful in...

    Aero long half belt - goat skin and shearling

    Many thanks John! I will drop Aero a line to see what they recommend - I have a CXL Wayfarer with the small zip like the one you have and its very fiddly in cold weather when in a hurry so will ask if they think YKK might be worth a punt for this one. Cheers!
