    Simmons Bilt Jacket Underway

    All the venom aimed at SB is based on the assumption that they are still using the patterns that Will took. This is an important point - anybody know the answer? They obviously are good pattern makers themselves, have come out with some very original and creative patterns, and are adept at...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Like Butte, I don't mind some history embroidered on a jacket, but that one is to bright and distracting. I had something like it once, and took a black marker to the bright yellow embroidery to give it a more subtle effect. You could still remove it after that if you want.

    What's ya'll opinion/experience on Lewis leathers sheepskin?

    Sheepskin is tougher than lambskin - Johnston & Murphy use it to line their shoes, even the insoles.

    Simmons Bilt jacket advice

    That is a damn good-looking jacket! It fits you perfectly and seems to suit your style. And it will do nothing but get better and better with the years. If you grow to love it over the next year or two, you're going to love it even more in thirty to forty years when you have a lifetime of...

    It's not actually a jacket, but it's definitely not for the fainthearted:

    Areo Quartermaster's Type A-2 Store sale

    Did you ask them that in an email, or find it on their site? I can't find descriptions of their leathers on their site, and was always under the impression that the Jerky HH was veg tanned. Thanks.

    Aero Cafe Racer question re: gussets

    Your expertise and brilliance, in this obscure back alley of human knowledge, has had more effect on my life than Stephen Hawking's theories on black holes. And I thoroughly enjoyed his "A Brief History of Time" - even wrote to him. But, unlike you, he never responded to me. :(

    Advice on Aero jacket

    That is one sharp looking jacket! I never really paid much notice to that style, but seeing it on you makes me wonder why we don't see more of them around here. It's distinctive without being busy or overdone. And the fit couldn't be better. I really like the pattern of that Harris Tweed, I...

    Aero "Black Soft Steerhide"?

    Brother, you nailed it! That jacket looks like it was made for you! I've seen guys around here spend years flipping jackets and not get one that fits that perfectly or looks that good! Sleeves, shoulders, length, width... you won the lotto! Take that tag off! :D
