    Heavily Modded Veste de Rallaye

    Looks great. Shorter than my Veste, but the shoulders, sleeves seem similar. You could tur those sleeves into anything, maybe even keep a bit long with snap cuffs or something.

    How do you know when a jacket is broken in?

    The other aspect of broken-in is what sort of mobility do you expect and compromises to get it? Some jackets, I want total (midweight highwayman; Langlitz cascade, North Beach shearling, LW goat Downtown, any goat or lighter hh A2); some I accept limited mobility (LW Suburban shearling, fghh...

    Alexander Leathers

    Major knows his stuff. I shot about 50 rock videos back in the early 80s....quit too soon, before there was money in it....and, I know this sounds insane now, but the documentary shot in Telephone of DH putting on her eye make-up and looking in the lens was ground-breaking (and curves or no...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    Peacoat, I like those stories. Mine comes many years later. 1994. The first time I was in the Pac Northwest I was shooting something in King County (south of Seattle). After I finish I ask if there's anything to do there and a grip tells me nothing: except Hendrix's grave. As it turns out it is...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Seems to me you two guys have to pick up the phone and call each other and talk this thing out in private, so you can tell each other what you each want out of this, without public agendas getting in the way. I think you'll come to a resolution pretty quick.

    I had to go wikipedia for that one....and well worth it.

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    Whoa...You feel ashamed of me? For thinking people might be interested in discussing a jacket on a jacket forum? Ha! I like that. (Joe Pesci: Are you talkin' to me?) Do let me know when I am behaving more to your liking. Because I probably never would want to. Yep, I do get why Aero may not be...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    I think once the AL jackets start appearing--like the one today!--discussion will turn to the jackets....and sooner or later we will all be not unhappy that there are more jacket-makers/companies/designs out there....whichever you favor or don't or whatever reasons. After all, we've had...

    Aero lhb project warm lining advice

    I agree. The alpaca is not as warm as it sounds. While the drill is even less warm it does hold up great. I believe the wool may come in different weight wool liners....

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    It may sound like more of a last resort, but if the jacket(s) turn out not to be what you thought, you might still make a good deal with Aero for a new one that is, and what you want now (size and style)....and sell these on the market for what they might bring. There are some (me included) who...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    (staying OT for a moment): I've soaked through my FQHH HWM more than once (once walked 2 miles in serious downpour, as you said), so it happens. Just laid it on the floor, still damp right through next day, just wore it, eventually dried out. No adverse effects I can see/tell.

    Indy, Iron Ranger, White's or ???

    If you don't go the custom route (White's or Russell), the W.1000 you can return to any online retailer (some pay shipping both ways). They do run a half-size large, at least on me. And they do break in quicker than the Aldens, which is a more "substantial" boot. Chippewa makes some more...

    Question About Jackets with a Belt Around Waist

    On a trench I've had belts and usually tie them. I once got a short leather bike jacket with a belt. The good thing was it did hold the waist. Everything else was bad, and I sold it after about 10 wears. If I didn't belt it, the buckle really clanked. If I belted it, it took time, and meant you...

    Anyone have any experience with Schaefer Ranchwear?

    I have a pair of 15oz sand-colored jeans. Tough and good, cut a bit wide in the leg but I like that for outdoor work.. Also a jacket from them, dont know which, sort of for bad weather, with drawstring at waist inside and front yokes. Again, super durable...although their sizes run large and I...
