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

    Carrie, compared to Chromexcel FQHH as well as to Aero's new goat, how heavy and stiff is the Vicenza? Is it significantly lighter and more supple than the Chromexcel?

    New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt

    The new collar design is much better than the old shapeless collars. I would prefer a leather facing, though. IMO it would look better and eliminate the risk of rain being wicked inside.

    Balmoral Boots

    The first pair belongs to hbk, the second one is mine. Unworn and custom made. Mine have a bevelled waist, yes. The instep part of the sole is wood pegged. They are size 11. Unfortunately they are so narrow that I can't even get my feet inside. Like a AAAAAAAAAAAAA width. Believe me, that was a...

    Balmoral Boots

    I am not so crazy about Balmorals, especially the more dressy ones or two-tones. What I would really go for are these generic derby boots: I am a real sucker for those and would certainly order one.

    Hair cuts

    I started with Murray's Superior and Dax Wave & Groom 26 years ago. Back then the only places to find pomade in Berlin were afro shops as well. I switched to Black & White and Royal Crown only a about six years ago, but these days I rarely use pomade. Since I stopped shampooing and just use...

    Aviation Leathercraft Irvin v New Aero leather models

    At these temperatures a leather jacket with just a wool or cotton liner will probably serve you much better. Or get a D-1 or B-6 and wear it with a t-shirt. An Irvin should be nearly unbearable at night and totally out of the question during the day, unless your fridge is large enough for you to...

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    I used to have a navy SB 3-piece suit with a waistcoat just like that. Sadly, I don't have it anymore.

    Conversion of Red Wing sizes US to Europe

    I usually wear EU44.5 (which is UK10 and US10.5 or US11, depending on manufacturer). I have the Beckmans in EU43/US10/UK9. The Iron Rangers fit differently and when trying them on size EU43.5/US10.5/UK9.5 fit best. So from my experience I would say size down half a size if you buy Iron Rangers...

    Sloan, that belt looks nice. Where did you buy it? Any chance of a better pic?

    Solution sought for uncomfortable as hell Red Wing boots

    Maybe you should find some boots with a double sole instead of a triple sole. How about William Lennon boots? You can customize them.

    Solution sought for uncomfortable as hell Red Wing boots

    Your feet are probably not used to real shoes and need some time to adapt (remembering your Crocs and sneakers). You should get a pair of clogs and wear them for a while. Afterwards the Red Wings will feel like walking on clouds. ;)

    How on earth did you find Bulgarian fabrics in Down Under? Another stunner indeed. How many caps do you have by now?
