    Custom 11" Wesco Boss, US11/UK10, D Width, Burgundy

    I had these made about 3 years ago but haven't worn them more than 15-20 times, and not at all in the last year or so. I found them to be slightly tighter across the instep than my black US11 Boss and Jobmaster boots, maybe because the harness toe makes them a bit narrower, so wear the blacks...

    Original Style Gustin Trucker Jacket - Oxblood, Large.

    This is the version with the large patch side entry hip pockets and small patch pocket on top of the right hand one. There is also an inner pocket which is large enough for my quite big LG G5 phone. It's a canvas outer with cotton liner. In very good condition with no marks or tears, I'm...

    Need boot ideas

    Iron Rangers now come with the Vibram 430 sole, so quite an improvement. As for Tricker's, if you can get a Stowe boot with Vibram-like commando soles, they cover all bases, being smart, casual and practical. These treads have more than twice the thickness of the 430s.

    Custom Aero B3

    Great fit on you, @SpeedRcrX, and the colour is fantastic, so much better than the test one.

    New Aero Jean Jacket 557XX Type III

    Thanks @Monitor. These new pics show how much the contrast stitching really pops. I'd definitely take that option.

    New Aero Jean Jacket 557XX Type III

    I like this version just as it is now, and would buy it in a shot. What's that leather though, and how does it age? Any pics elsewhere?

    New Aero Jean Jacket 557XX Type III

    Very nice indeed. A huge improvement on the old style.

    Aero 101J Leather Jacket

    That's very, very nice indeed. I was pleased to see that Aero are moving into the leather jeans jacket scene, as that's what I feel I'm missing at the moment. They seem to have started putting the stitching over the Type 3 pockets now, rather than having patch pockets, which looks a lot...

    STF Aero Bootlegger Loadsa Pics (inc's new sneak preview of new designs and a mug!)

    Very nice indeed. You did well, and no wait!

    Worth going to Aero leather in Scotland to get jacket made/otr?

    The idea of putting your name down now to get in the queue seems sensible, if that's allowed. You could then go asap on your arrival in Scotland and hopefully have it made up during your few days there, as long as your timeslot was scheduled and your leather is available. Then you get the...

    The Humble Anorak.....

    @Mr. Godfrey, that's another film I wasn't aware of. I'd say my smock is closer to the girl's in style, but the army ones look OTT for my needs. I'm also hoping for a James Bond vibe in OHMSS, my favourite Bond film. I've always liked his smock worn during the Piz Gloria assault, and feel this...

    The Humble Anorak.....

    I didn't know of that film, but I like his look, even though he's no Kirk Douglas. I very much like the B&W pics above. I'm now going to try to order big woollen mits to add to the look. Not sure about trousers, but I quite fancy going full psycho retro hiker if I can get the gear right.

    The Humble Anorak.....

    Ha. Right after I get that chiselled jaw I ordered.

    The Humble Anorak.....

    As an update, I've now received my Ventile smock, 6.5 weeks after order. It's a nice, solid, classic bit of kit with a 40s/50s vibe. Nothing fancy, nothing cool, but I like the utter simplicity and robustness of the double layer Ventile. The hood's larger than I expected, coming well over the...

    An Aero 'car coat' as first quality jacket?

    I have to agree with @Sloan1874 regarding the weight issue. I have a couple of 4 or 5 year old FQHH Stockmans, size 38, and whilst they're quite heavy to hold (2.7kg/6lb), whilst wearing them they're barely noticeable. I don't wear them more than once or twice a week in the cooler months...

    Well done. That works really well on you.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    A Ventile Heroes of Telemark smock for when I want to look rugged and manly.

    ELC international shipping problem

    I sent a 2.5kg jacket to Europe with Parcelforce. With full insurance to £500, buying online, I paid £76. Big mistake. Even the post office guy said I was stupid to buy online, as you pay the full amount for the weight band, as opposed to actual weight. This week I did the same using DPD...

    Aero Board Racer Comparison Size 40 v 42

    I'd go with the 42. I think it fits better and will be a bit more flexible.

    Aero relaunch of Brando On The Waterfront jacket

    This is now live. I didn't think I'd like it, but I do, especially with the perfect pattern matching. Very tempting...
