    Linings

    Hoosier, possibly because the nylon doesnt breath as well as the cotton? Im not a fan of their cotton drill either, it felt like it conducts cold from the leather through to your skin. As far as the nylon will be ok with the FQHH. I have an extra heavy steer jacket made and was interested in...

    Linings

    I was told that it was very warm. It might be too warm for what you want. I guess it depends if you are going to be taking wind chill into account on a bike. Also are you getting steer, FQHH, or goat? The weight of the steer makes them wearing of using certain less durable linings. The...

    My new furry non leather jacket (we call it the Yetti Jacket), its ok to laugh!

    LOL! I know what is going to happen with my jacket and the wife Phase 1: Wife:"Good lord what the hell is that?" Phase 2: Wife:"I cannot believe you actually paid money for that, as if you really needed another jacket" Phase 3: Wife:"You look so silly in that jacket, I cant believe you are...

    Linings

    I had the alpaca under cotton lining in one of my jackets that I had planned to wear in temperatures similar to your and I am having it religned with sheepskin. I still want proof that there was really alpaca under there lol, Im sure Will put it there , but I was not all that impressed. I...

    Linings

    Well you can get, cotton drill, a really nice nylon, about 100 different styles of wool patterns, alpaca, sheepskin, corduroy, or a quilted lining. I think thats everything. You would be best served by letting the people here know the temperature range you are thinking about and what your...

    My new furry non leather jacket (we call it the Yetti Jacket), its ok to laugh!

    I go snow tubing with my wife in the winters. I could only imagine the looks I would get in the full suit. If I had the extra cash, that alone would get me to buy the pants just for the laugh factor, but unfortunately money is too tight to buy $150.00 pants to use 3 or 4 times a year, even...

    Aero 9 months + wait, is this common ?

    Mark has started charging shipping for his jackets. In light of this fact, I see absolutely no reason to buy from him unless he has the jacket in stock and ready to ship. The customs charges are so minor compared to the overall cost of the jacket. Especially given the level of service and...

    Natural - off white - bone leather

    I dont do light colors. I tend to stain and permanently mark them up to easy. Of course, Im also one of those guys who avoids wearing white out to dinner for the same reasons....so YMMV

    Aero e-mail address?

    I talk to Amanda quite a bit over email periodically throughout there year. We were just talking last week and the week before, but I received no reply today. They are not on vacation, but Im guessing she isnt in the office today. If you dont hear from her in a few days email her again...

    My new furry non leather jacket (we call it the Yetti Jacket), its ok to laugh!

    LOL @ that poor cat! Edward, I thought the pants would be really comfortable to wear around the house or whatnot, but the jacket is SOOO warm (like B3 warm) that the pants would be quite uncomfortable unless only worn outside when its very cold and you arent moving much. As far as the...

    Ever seen AN6552 M442 or G1 with sheepskin D1 or B3 type collar like in this photo?

    Thats entirely possible, Im not really concerned with the price he may or may not have paid, I just want to know who makes such a jacket (if anyone). I think it looks awesome, but I am a bit unorthodox in my jackets.

    My new furry non leather jacket (we call it the Yetti Jacket), its ok to laugh!

    Its funny you mention that, because these are sold as hunting clothing. What a dumb outfit. "Look, a bear wearing an orange vest!, shoot it"

    My new furry non leather jacket (we call it the Yetti Jacket), its ok to laugh!

    I think it comes in a black. It does look funny, but I have to give credit where credit is due. I was not at all expecting this, but it actually feels almost identical to real fur and like I said its the most well made non leather jacket Ive had, the stitching, lining, zippers, everything about...

    My new furry non leather jacket (we call it the Yetti Jacket), its ok to laugh!

    Yup, you got it. I would have designed it without the rifle butt pad, but I like the pocket there.

    New Eastman B3!

    So you've got me curious. Hopefully Im not prying and I understand if you prefer not to answer this question, but Im going to ask it anyway: That is one hell of a gift, what made you decide on getting this person a B3 out of all the gifts you could give? Is/was this person in the military...

    Ever seen AN6552 M442 or G1 with sheepskin D1 or B3 type collar like in this photo?

    Its just weird that he would have a flight suit with what looks to a reference to the medal of honor reference (blue / white stars) and be wearing a non repro jacket. It seems unlike him. On the flip side, Ive never seen any type of repro with that collar.

    Ever seen AN6552 M442 or G1 with sheepskin D1 or B3 type collar like in this photo?

    Im sure its not military issue. However, since he always wears militaria in his book cover photos, I did expect that it was a stock repro with added hand pockets, or a custom repro with those options. Lord knows, he has the money to have whatever he wants made.
