    Goat vs. Steer

    The grains of the two leathers could be mistaken at a glance, but the weights are quite different. If you need a spring/autumn weight I’d go for goat; if winter then deer. Here is my goat:

    Goat vs. Steer

    I really like the weight and drape of goat, particularly in slightly warmer weather. I’ve only had one jacket in steer (LVC Menlo), but I didn’t like the weight/grain at all, and sold the jacket on quickly. I’m a massive convert to deerskin: similar weight to steer, but much more comfortable...

    Headwind Aviatrix Amelia Earhart Jacket

    I don’t believe that John has ever released more than one or two test jackets of this model.

    Aero A2 from 1986.. photos

    I’m an only child, but had a sibling of mine punched snaps in a jacket that he’d borrowed, I’d have swung for him...

    Capeskin A-1 Jacket Mold

    Oh that’s such a shame. That’s a nicer cape than John has used in the past. Mould is horrible: that cloying smell that gets into the cotton lining is also awful. Hope the suggestions work.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Brown corduroy Surgeon jacket today. Back from a superb traditional tailor in Bristol. Sleeves fit perfectly after reduction at crown. The corresponding tweed has now been dropped off for the same work.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wearing the FW Journeyman again today in some of the heaviest rain for weeks. No issues: warm, dry, comfortable. Absolutely love wearing this coat.

    Shearling jacket YELLOW thoughts?

    Personally, not a great fan of yellow jackets, but each to their own (it’s a good fit on you though).

    Surgeon’s Jacket (Tweed) by Nigel Cabourn

    It’s a stunning piece of work. I’m a vocal advocate of Will Brown, at Old Town, from whom I buy most of my clothes. The corduroy Surgeon’s jacket is of a similar quality to Old Town, but this tweed is perhaps even a little better. Once the sleeves have been altered, it will be my go to jacket...
