    FS: Aero Cafe Racer Black Custom Collar

    Nice jacket. I think that model (Cafe racer with traditional collar) is now called the Sheene.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I thought it was to make them easier to remove if they fell overboard - as wet clothing adds a lot of weight. I recall some Army water survival training I did where we were taught to remove our pants, tie the legs near the cuffs, hold the pants by the waist and "throw" the pants over our head to...

    Aero Shackleton Explored

    I really like the look of the Shackleton vest but I don't see the value. It's about half the cost of a new Aero jacket, but it's only leather on the front. While I'm not skilled in using a sewing machine, making a vest seems as though it would be pretty easy. I would expect the cost to be lower.

    Vintage 1940s Knopf Goatskin jacket

    I should've snagged this one when it was available state-side.

    SOLD: SZ 40 Sugar Cane Repro Californian 30's Barnstomer Horsehide Coat

    That is beautiful! Like the brown mouton so much better than the white/ivory. Very tempting.

    Help I think I ruined my Aero Premiere Half Belt

    I hate to write this as my heart would be broken if it were my jacket - but that jacket is ruined forever. The oil stains are never going to come out in any meaningful way and will show no matter how dark you stain it.

    FS: Aero Long Half Belt - Size 40 - Burgundy FQHH

    Very nice, but isn't that a Long Half Belt - not a Half Belt Deluxe?

    FS/FT Aero Cafe Racer 38/40 Brown Horween FQHH

    That is easily the best grained CXL FQHH I've ever seen.

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    When I bought my Aero J-100 through TB, Carrie sent me a sample jacket that was navy Vincenza. Beautiful color and much more manageable than my previous Aero CXL FQHH. I didn't see much in the way of color variation though. I ordered my J-100 in tobacco Badalassi - not because of any serious...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I ordered an Aero Buco J-100 through Thurston Brothers. Since I had mine made with Badalassi (which is steerhide), I was told I couldn't get the Buco label. Guess it has to be horsehide for TB to use that label.

    FS: Field Leathers Half-Belt Jacket in Shinki Brown Horsehide 40/42

    It is a very nice jacket, but I can't imagine a 20.5-inch pit to pit fitting a 40, let alone a 42.

    Aero 1920s Work Coat Collar...

    I recall when that coat was introduced by Aero. I thought it would really be a top seller as similar-styled jackets are usually Japanese and are much more expensive. Doesn't seem to be a very popular model. Not sure why - I think it looks very nice.

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Literally just took delivery of a Bronson N-1 (3rd Type). I'm a pretty solid 40 who usually wears medium. I bought a L (40) in Bronson and it is a perfect fit. I haven't tried it with a sweater/sweatshirt underneath yet, but the initial fit seems great. Haven't even worn't it outside yet, but am...

    I recall this Block Bilt thread. Pretty sure the OP was previously known as Schitzo (who spent some time in China): https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/for-sale-full-aniline-veg-tan-italian-hh-block-bilt-cross-zip-40.95009/

    The Best Raglan Coat?

    t's a first-class coat and I also like the descriptions. I really pondered the buy. It isn't cheap and, while the measurements were clearly listed, the suggestion was to buy TTS. I'm a pretty solid 40 which would equate to a Medium in the SEH Kelly coat. I spoke with a few people wh said it ran...

    Help me sizing the Aero 1950's long Halfbelt please

    I'm 5'9, 170 lbs. 40-inch chest, 33 waist. I have size 38 LHB. Fits me very well, maybe a little tight through the torso. I could wear a sweater underneath.I think the issue for you is going to be that your waist isn't much smaller than your chest. You wouldn't come close to zipping up a size 38...
