    Sewing machine used to make flight jackets during WW2...

    I stumbled upon this photo and caption on the website of a veteran who makes leather wallets and such. I found it interesting to envision A-2's being churned out at wartime speed on these simple little machines: The old sewing machine I use came from a factory that manufactured leather flight...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just went and read about it, and it's even cooler than I realized. What did you do with the 'chain stitch runoffs'?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey Sheepdog - are those two pictures of the same jacket? If so, then it's amazing how dissimilar leather can look in different lighting - they look like two different jackets! The leather in the second one is top-notch beautiful.

    Sou'west Chunkies Sweaters

    Oh my gosh, that IS a nice color - rich, royal, and warm! How does the wool feel against your skin? How does it compare, in that regard, with your Harris Tweed jumper?

    Help me choose my next Aero

    I second jacketjunkie's suggestion of the Royale. Aero should be able to make it long enough for you. But here's another idea - the 1950's College Jacket. Notice that they make it: "in our high grade split calf suede perfect to recreate classic 1950s leisure wear jackets" Being split calf...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    These are cool. I like the look of boots that have been well worn, broken in, polished over and over, and become shaped to your particular foot:

    Just judging from the pose, I'm guessing ton312 got a new sweater...

    Anyone else has creases on the front of the jacket

    Try Botox, Prednisone, and obesity.

    Anyone else has creases on the front of the jacket

    I'm sorry I wasn't clearer, onstar - I wasn't telling you to move on, as in 'get over it' or something, I was telling you to move your jacket on... for your own peace of mind. The pictures above were just meant to be light-hearted humor. ;)

    Post Pics of Your Cafe Racer Jackets

    Yes, I totally agree about the jackets, and that is a great analogy about singers. But, also, some of the charm of the old originals is that they acquired a bit of character because they had a life... they were worn and lived in. Every rule has its exceptions... if you close your eyes and...

    Anyone else has creases on the front of the jacket

    Yeah, get rid of it. It obviously irks you enough to keep starting threads on here about it... move it on and get some peace of mind. It's only a jacket.

    Anyone else has creases on the front of the jacket

    How can she even go out in public with those vertical creases?? Sheesh. And this guy - if you look closely, he has 'em on both sides! Dang, if it wasn't for the name tag, even the King of Cool would have them on both sides: OMG, tell me it's not so! I guess you just can't fight them:

    Thanks for beginning to share this process, I look forward to following every step. I feel like I'm going on an adventure with you!

    I really like their 1485 wool jacket, and their chukka boots - which I see are made by William Lennon.

    Aero modified redskin D-1 (pic heavy)

    THAT... is a beautiful jacket. It is the one I would get if got a sheepskin jacket. And to think, it's labelled a "mechanic's jacket"! Can you imagine getting one of these all ripped and oily and greasy!? It would be kinda like wearing an Armani tuxedo to wash hogs.

    It is very kind of you to say this, and it reveals your good character. But you have nothing to apologize for - you were graciously polite, and didn't say anything out of line. But, Thank you!
