    WTB: Aero Bootlegger (40 or 42)

    Hello, All. From the "no harm in asking" corner, I'm on the lookout for a Bootlegger in 40 or 42 (or possibly 38, if the measurements work). I'm pretty flexible on the leather, color, even condition within reason. This will be my first Aero and while I'm not absolutely limiting myself to the...

    Alexander Lethers Roadster Size 40 (Horween Chrome Tanned FQHH )

    I hear you. It's tempting, but I'm a little over 5'10" and a "normal" 40 is usually about right for me in a highwayman. That 24" back length is probably just a hair too short.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks. The Coventry is the chrome-tanned version, I believe - this is veg-tanned seal.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today is my Norshor A-2, which the more I wear the more I'm gobsmacked by. I was having dinner with my nephew, who just finished C School for the Navy and is about to get his first deployment. He looked at the jacket and said "That makes you look like you have stories to tell."

    Deerskin jackets

    This is an interesting topic to me, because I see lots of very nice-looking deerskin jackets on places like Etsy going for quite reasonable pricing because deerskin is unfashionable for the reasons stated above. And of course the fact that they're "no-name" jackets made by some long-gone maker...

    Norshor A-2 Doniger - Cowhide

    Thanks - here's a couple more pics to show the fit. The hide is interesting - medium-thick and heavy but not stiff, beautiful grain. Never having owned a Goodwear or Kelso Badalassi or the like, I don't know what it would compare to in a modern production cowhide jacket.

    Norshor A-2 Doniger - Cowhide

    Another new one - this is an "experimental" David D. Doniger stand-collar A-2 in veg-tanned cowhide from Mark at Norshor. It's not custom (though unworn) but I think the fit is really good - it has a couple of anachronous features from other contracts so isn't 100% spec to the historical...

    Albert Richard Horsehide Half Belt Revisited

    It does make a nice backdrop for my runway shots.

    Albert Richard Horsehide Half Belt Revisited

    I wish that were true! :D There is some bamboo there, which makes me nostalgic for Japan. Sadly, the other side of the fence is just.... The other side of the fence.

    Albert Richard Horsehide Half Belt Revisited

    Well, it's better to look good than to feel good... I don't know what it is about the styling on that jacket - it's very simple, really. Maybe that's the point. It doesn't constrict my breathing or anything - it's just a bit more fitted across the torso than I'm used to, but then I've never...

    Albert Richard Horsehide Half Belt Revisited

    So, I snagged that 40's Albert Richard from Mr. Mitchell. It's obviously in pretty amazing shape for a 70-ish year-old jacket, and the cut is really something (as you can see). It's special, no doubt about it. My only concern, honestly, is the fit - I'm worried it might be a bit snug around...

    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    From what Michael told me, the new Silvermist isn't quite as thin, and has a bit more blue to it.

    Is that the "new" Silvermist, or the old one?

    Albert Richard Horsehide Half Belt-size 40

    Shame it's too small and you have to sell it... Right???

    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    Thanks. I got a sample of the Silverbelly Michael uses but it was much more in the light blue/grey vein that that, which looks more like a light tan.

    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    Just to extend the diversion (sorry) what shade is the felt in that second hat? I wonder if it's close to Michael's "Bone" felts.

    BILL KELSO ROUGH WEAR 27752 A-2 JACKET size 42 Horse hide

    Just an FYI, after seeing Breton's comment I asked Andy over at BK and he confirmed that jacket is indeed their beautiful HH rather than Badalassi.
