    There's also a German company by the name of Kindermann specializing in workwear fabrics, namely corduroy and moleskin. They have some ultra heavy all cotton cord. They send swatches upon request. I guess their Swedish agent will as well...

    Fragility of wool trousers

    I have a pair of rousers made from 13 oz. Dugdale cloth that shows quite some wear in the crotch area due to cycling. I had it made about four or five years ago. On the other hand I have some German 30s trousers that I have had for 25 years that show no wear in the crotch at all.

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Yes, but it wasn't only due to the sleeves. The jacket was noticeably warmer all over.

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    But not exclusively. I could wear my Chromexcel jacket only up to 15°C while I can wear my goatskin up to 20 or 22°C. Same model, both lined with cotton (the Chromexcel jacket had satin lined sleeves, though, which were an extra pain in the ass when it was warm outside).

    Did you guys realize that Aero introduced at least 40 (sic!) new jacket models since Ken came back from retirement?

    AL - Simmons Bilt!

    This jacket is so wonky they would be better off just throwing it in the trash instead of selling it for a low price. If this is what 262 years of experience look like ...

    1937 Amazing Double breasted w/button fly trousers.

    I would hate to fork out that kind of money for a cream suit and then spill some pasta sauce over it or have my cats snag the fabric. Very nice suit, though.

    1940s Neapolitan tailored Belted back jacket with gathered pleating and 3 bellow patc

    Sweet. If the sleeves were longer I would jump on it right away.

    1927 Summer Suit 42R - 44R

    Looks like Fresco fabric. Certainly very rare, especially in that color.

    Late 1940s or 1950s?? German suit - fairly large size

    I wish this was my size. Great details. Just look at the vertical watch pocket.

    Agreed, without the chest pockets something is missing to my eye. The balance is off. I think my jacket is one of the greatest jackets ever made, but the AL version without chest pockets just ain't cuttin'.

    Big J, that first ones actually didn't work at all. It was a standard size and so wide at the waist that I could wear a watermelon underneath. Not a good look the jacket being so wide at the waist. The second one is custom sized goat and has aged beautifully by now.
