    FS; Vanson Mercury and Comet PLU-3

    Except for the increased length of the PLU-3, and different collar styles and pockets, are not both jackets the same basic pattern? The Vanson website gives identical measurements for both jackets. Also, welcome to the Lounge!!

    Filson Shelter Cloth Dilemma

    One of my standard "go to" jackets is the Outfitter. It is well appointed for hunting in all types of weather, as I have the heavy-weight full liner and the medium-weight vest. The hand warmer pockets are a good height while carrying a long gun and the collar can be turned up quite high, and...

    Zip it

    Ya' know, you guys are causing me to second guess a bit on getting an Aero: having such a heavy jacket and then fiddling with a small, possibly fragile zipper doesn't hold much appeal for me. All of my Vanson and Schott jackets have big, burly zippers. So do the Espinoza's. I've not held an...

    Anorak : Like Pitt wears in "TIBET"

    ^^^In my opinion, other than the fact that this is an anorak, it has virtually nothing in common with the one Pitt wore. It does look like a nice one, though.

    The Fedora Lounge Guide to Mackinaw coats

    Okay, thanks. It appears anything with wool, lacking a hood, having no zipper and shorter than a persons knees is fair game from what I can tell. This outerwear stuff is hard.......... By the way, Dinerman, I really enjoy the images and history you post up!!

    Cuffs or no cuffs

    I used to have a problem with knit cuffs while wearing a watch, which would at some point start to shred the material, and would always seem to prevent the cuff from easing back to my wrist after riding up-and-over the watch when extending my arms all the way. Then I quit wearing a watch, and...

    Gear Patrol - 5 Best Motorcycle Jackets

    I don't know about the other jackets on this list but I've handled the Icon and am of the opinion it wouldn't survive a light tricycle crash in one's driveway. Up close, it looked and felt quite cheap. The Roland Sands design sure looks good!

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Some of these bikes have virtually no adjustment, certainly not enough for the fat Wescos. Back in the old days just about every bike encountered could be rotated an inch or two either direction. The problem with rotating the lever on the ones that do allow this, is that then if wearing anything...

    Is the B3 jacket "too much"?

    Grayland, I can see you are a "fine eats" connoisseur. :D Funny thing, people never want to try it, don't think it sounds at all tasty, and then can never get enough of the stuff. Can you by chance offer a wine suggestion to pair with this regional fare? I would ask locally but everyone...

    Is the B3 jacket "too much"?

    Oh, and I almost forgot: in the B-3, I do look dashing, while holding my grilling tools!

    Is the B3 jacket "too much"?

    I have a B-3 that comes in real handy when standing around while tending the Big Green Egg smokers on days when it is in the 10°s-20°s F and the winds kick up some. And, as a bonus, after cooking ribs, pork shoulder, or brisket all day, that jacket smells GOOD.........
