Welcome!
As the others have said, if your funds are limited, a good new hat is the Akubra. I don't personally own one, but know folks who do, and have handled them. I don't own any vintage hats, as I don't have much time to hunt thrift or vintage stores, although there are a few in town...
I have never visited the store, but in 2000 I mail ordered two different jackets from them, a black cowhide A2 and a brown goatskin G1 with leather collar. Maybe they've changed since then, I don't know, but I was not impressed. The leather quality was mediocre at best, the collar snaps on my...
Yes, still available.
Since you posted measurements of your size 40, I wanted to point out that even though this is tagged 40, it fits small. The shoulder to shoulder on yours is 19", but on mine is only about 18", maybe 18.5". If your interested, make sure that will fit you. I'm selling...
I have one FQHH jacket from Aero, a Barnstormer. I also have an A2, and although the quality is incredible, it's a bit too small for me (it's listed for sale in the classifieds, hint hint.) I like the seal HH so much I ordered a halfbelt in seal HH, it should be here soon. I am also...
I understand completely.
I actually had an Adventurebilt Raiders style hat for a while. It was a very well made hat. I love the first Indy film, love the hat in the movie, love seeing pictures of Indy hats here and COW. But you know, it just didn't look good on me. Since I bought it...
BigSleep, that reminds me of a story about the famous gunmaker John M. Browning. He always wore a "distinctly worn" brown fedora. He had invented a new gun which was going into production for the military, one of the 30 cal machine guns used in ww2 if I remember correctly. He was invited to a...
Aero (Scotland) 1940 contract A2(this model has a collar stand)

I stand 5'10, weigh 170 lbs.
Measurements (as best I can tell):
Shoulders 18.5"
Sleeve to...

Has anyone owned one? I bought the WPG version last year and sent it back, it was much too coarse and itchy to wear. I felt I was rolling shirtless in a...
I might have mentioned it, but it's worth repeating. Its a standard 50's halfbelt, but in seal brown jerky A2 leather instead of FQHH, with A2 patch pockets instead of slash pockets, cotton lining. This is to be my lighter weight, fall / spring jacket.
I suppose the modifications are...
I'm 2 weeks away from a 6 month wait on my jacket, ordered and paid for April 6th. As people who ordered in June are getting their jackets, I am becoming slightly disgruntled. In two weeks it will be cold enough here to wear a jacket in the evenings. A few weeks ago Mark told me "Hopefully...
They will make it out of either the front quarter Horsehide (fqhh) or, if you like, you can have them make it out of the lighter weight A2 leather. You will probably have to contact them direct, as it is not an option on the website. I am currently waiting on a halfbelt in seal brown A2 horsehide.
I emailed them and asked, and they replied that it was Boden. I looked Boden up, and saw no turtlenecks on their website. [huh]
I've been looking for a while for one in wool with no luck.
