    Show us your SHOES !!!

    You need to keep looking and you need to know your measurements. Often vintage sizes 11 fit like modern size 10.5. Often listings are without size but with measurements. Also, take a look at Etsy and scan your local Goodwills regularly. 10.5 is about the most common size today. You have to be...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Actually, narrow vintage shoes in size 10.5 are out in abundance. Normal and wide widths are more difficult to obtain. You just have to search eBay regularly.

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    If you want a Highwayman with a decent fit at the waist you might have to get a custom job where it is tapered down below the armholes. The design is essentially better suited for guys who don't have such a high drop between chest/shoulders and waist. I even had to taper down my 30s half belt...

    When and where do you wear your Irvin jacket?

    I used to wear mine only below freezing. After obtaining my Swedish M1909 shearling parka I didn't wear it at all for two winters and then sold it. When it's really cold I want some protection on my ass and legs as well, so the parka is much more suitable.

    Show off the sports coats.

    You are the wrong size. If you were a 38 or 40 you would have plenty jackets to choose from but jackets in 46 are very rare, even if you are prepared to shell out a premium. And I dare say, if you want to spend less than 100 bucks they are pretty much non-existent or totally thrashed and unwearable.

    Aero jackets - sleeve lining cotton AND sateen?

    I used to have a Chromexcel jacket with tight sleeves and both sateen and cotton drill. I found it totally uncomfortable and way too hot. I would go for just the cotton drill. It easy to slip on the jacket and way more durable than the sateen. Both my current jackets have just the cotton drill.
