    A2 Maker/Contract With Biggest Collar?

    I can't find the Cooper on GW's site. Or am I being dense?

    A2 Maker/Contract With Biggest Collar?

    I didn't know that GW made a Cooper... I fear, though, that a GW jacket will always be beyond my reach.

    A2 Maker/Contract With Biggest Collar?

    My theoretical choice, at the moment, is a toss-up between the BK RW 27752 or Arco 18775, or the new Eastman H.L.B. Corp (if they ever make it without the Tiger Sharks insignia) - the latter is very nice indeed. Not being an A2 purist by the remotest stretch of the imagination, my main interest...

    A2 Maker/Contract With Biggest Collar?

    Is the collar stand a comfort issue, then?

    Aerial Star Vintage Leather Jackets - Official Affiliate Thread

    Ah, so that's why it looked familiar. I agree: spot-on (minus the diamante...). Reminds me of an old Norwegian police jacket I have somewhere.

    What are my choices for vintage-style wool jackets?

    Johnson Woolen Mills in Vermont does an unlined double-cape jacket: http://johnsonwoolenmills.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=122 I have one in plain red. It's a classic.

    A2 Maker/Contract With Biggest Collar?

    A quick question for the human A2 encyclopedias here at the Lounge... I'm edging towards an A2, but it's early days yet. I particularly like those jackets with a large, non-tapered collar. This may well mean a Rough Wear 27752 but what are my other options? Does the collar stand make a...

    IDing M422 jacket

    Or the Foster G-1 55J14, but I think Thor's right: the pencil slot looks more G & F. Nice jacket!

    Help me choose a perfect Perfecto

    How about doing something for Balkan relations (speaking as a part-Greek whose great-great grandparents lived in Serbia) and checking out Bill Kelso in Greece? A couple of their new models - the Duke and the Westfall look good from a biking point of view (but then again I don't ride). And I...

    Unexpected windfall $

    I'd have a hard time choosing between one of John Chapman's USN offerings, one of Bill Kelso's new models or an Aero Speedway. Then I'd also need a pair of Russell Moccasin engineer boots and a custom civvy hat from Diamond Dave...

    The Road Champs. ...and the Heron.

    Nice new Filson Lined Work Jacket

    That's interesting. It looks as if a bit of the Black Label/Filson Italy sensibility has seeped back over the pond. Cool and practical design - I like the pocket configuration.

    I'm sure they'll only come in size small...:(

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    We're alone in the crowd, I tell you! No, I think I was trying to say that though there are a lot of selvage addicts on here, they're surprisingly few and far between out there in the real world (or at least in my admittedly out-of-the-way part of it). But anyway, what could be more ruggedly...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Subjectively, high-end jeans, like most high-end things, look better. They don't look cheap, mass-produced and they don't look like what everybody else is wearing. If these are criteria you value, then obviously your $40 Lees are perfect for you. But as you are posting on FL, the assumption has...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Currently wearing a pair of Edwin 47s in 13.5oz Japanese denim - just rinsed them after about 6 months wear. Absolutely beautiful. Picked them up for under £70 on ebay. The heaviest jeans I've owned were Sugar Cane Union Stars which were, I think, 15oz or thereabouts. I'd love to try some...

    Cuffed Jeans

    Your cuffs look great, man - but to hell with the jeans, what about that bike!?:eusa_clap

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Selvedge jeans are just jeans as they used to be made, before flimsy cloth, Third World sweatshops, synthetic indigo and vast markups even on a £30 pair of trousers, and before brands became more important than quality.

    Please help

    The glasses look like Persols. N1 jacket for sure. I thought it was Jack Nicholson at first glance...

    " KING-O FCC - The Hunter" - Thedi Leathers

    Looks like a loop to hold a fly rod - in keeping, I suppose, with the hunting/shooting/fishing aesthetic. Superfluous, though, peut-etre?
