How to remove bad odor from a suit
I did that once with a jacket. I soaked it with mild wool detergent over a period of eight days, rinsing several times. At first the water was a dark brown and reeking very badly, then turned to brownish yellow. When no funk came out of it anymore I let it dry and then had my tailor iron it back... -

Russet Goatskin: untouched and monkeyed with
I wonder if they have switched completely, because the new goatskin comes in seal, black and mid brown, but not in russet. I imagine that they still need russet for A-2s.- Rudie

New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt
For me it depends on your usual style. If you wear vintage with high waisted trousers, I would prefer the shorter jacket. If it's just modern clothes for you, then I would stick with the longer version.- Rudie

New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt
Stop it, Schitz! I am all for shorter jackets, but Cooperson has a different preference as clearly demonstrated by his specs. You are spoiling a great jacket for him. 0.5" deviation from the specs is normal. You just can't work more precise with these heavy leathers...- Rudie

Alexander Leathers Roadster Planning
You can't go wrong with a good goatskin. I would favor goat over FQHH anytime. I love the way the Horween Chromexcel ages, but once you have it on your back goat can't be beat.- Rudie

1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers
I would rip out the tag and then wear it. A suit like this in bad condition and for a small price would be perfect to take to a tailor for copying. Why is this suit for sale again and again? I wouldn't shell out this kind of money for a suit that doesn't fit.- Rudie
