    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    great minds are alike lol :) I'd not subject my jacket to sea water though!

    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    I just thought about a new way of breaking in a new jacket - in a totally natural, authentic, original way - jump into shallow water (lake preferred otherwise a shallow pool and preferably when no one else is watching), swim a bit, get out then enjoy the sun with jacket on if it’s summer, or...

    Heaviest military wool coat recommendation

    Thank you very much guys - much appreciated all your inputs. Re great coat, I also remember this Crombie version https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276737757842?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=FaExNbVhTsC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FdECUgLpTcK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I actually saw...

    Heaviest military wool coat recommendation

    So for a change I’m not asking questions on leather jackets! I’m a sick of the cold rainy weather in London - for work, I wear a Paul Smith mohair overcoat everyday - with a big backpack on it (yes I know it’s not good for the coat.). I’ve been doing this for over a decade and this nice coat is...

    Thanks that may be too tight for me as I wear 58cm Tilney hats.

    EASTMAN B2 WINTER FLYING CAP. Size: 7 1/4

    Hi what cm size would this fit please? Is there a Eastman size chart for inches vs cm?

    Eastman ‘crack’ appearance https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335671945053?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DSNG0b2WR7e&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FdECUgLpTcK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    This is a great discussion. I’m not overly fussed with leather material but I do prefer it on the heavier side. One thing I want to ask is - how do jacket makers coat the suede side of sheepskin and why Eastman ANJ4 would appear ‘more cracked’ than say LW version? Is this something we can fix by...

    Thank you very much! This should fit me OK. Let me sleep on this. Still trying to justify if shearling is too warm for London winter

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    Thank you very much for saving me £££ and also peace of mind! This morning is warmer in London and I just had two fleeces on for school run (on foot) - after 20mins walking I had to open the outside fleece to cool down. What did you think of Eastman ANJ4? It is the one in your photo above? It...

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    Thank you @arahat and @Hide'n'seek I actually saw on aero website there is an ANJ4 though the waist is too wide for me. There is also a Geiger M445 in classifieds which should fit me. Or B2… Given this jacket will be worn very infrequently I can’t justified buying a new custom one. So will...

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    Thanks saw the LW B2 but it has alpaca lining not sheepskin/shearling though. So how does to differ functionally from say an aero jacket with alpaca lining and mouton collar? Is it B2 has sleeves lined with alpaca too? Hope it’s not a daft question!

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    On eBay, there’s an Eastman ANJ4 44 for £995 - just way too big for me. I actually plan to get 38 for my 40 chest, as can’t think of layering anything under that shearling - a thin long sleeve hemp top would be my preference to regulate temp and sweat

    ANJ4 jacket - Aero vs LW

    Today I wore a high loft fleece inside a Rab alpine down jacket to work, with hat on etc, and still felt a bit cold. Yes when I was on the train I felt like inside an oven and had to take off the down jacket, but once off the train and the cold wind blew, I felt I needed something heavier over...

    Fit Check Vanson Slim Fit Oxford 42

    I have the same issue with a 42 Vanson Enfield I bought lately - sleeves and shoulders and length perfect but baggy chest /armpits. I layer it over a very thick alpaca cardigan with Shaw collar and it’s a perfect fit. Because I wanted a winter jacket that allows layering I’ve decided to keep it...
