    Q1 2015 Jackets 2 of 5 - Eastman ANJ-4 (44) Warhorse

    2005 ANJ-4 from Eastman with Seal Warhorse Facings. This is my second Eastman ANJ-4 ( the other being a Fenland One which is a very different sheepskin) No modifications other the Warhorse ... pretty much a stock Eastman .... in terms of the fleece the coating they use on this is more mat and...

    Q1 2015 Jackets 1 of 5 - Aero B3 (42) Fenland Sheepskin

    I had been after one of these for a while ... for those that are aware of the ( now closed) Fenland Sheepskin Tannery, they produced possibly the finest sheepskin for jackets that I am aware of. I have an Eastman ANJ-4 in the same hide and it is wonderful stuff with a very soft hand, amazing...

    repairs to my 1944 Denison Smock

    Many years ago I was given a 1944 Denison Smock by Colonel Ruridh Rutherford .. this had belonged to Colonel Rutherfords mentor and had been used during WW2 ( I have fiull provenance but that's largely irellevant and not particularly exciting) When it was given to me there were two areas of...

    Christmas Jacket No. 3 Alexanders "Roadster" in Oilpull Steer

    Bought this on the "Outlet" for £300 to replace my 44" Highwayman which was too big .... I had an almost identical jacket to this in 2005 ( and I mean "almost" identical even down to the hide ) the only difference was it was lined in "Grant" flannel cotton and was a Highwayman. This is about 2"...

    Christmas Jacket No 2 - Alexanders Leathers "Donkey Jacket"

    Bought this as a bit of a whim and I really like it - had one back in the 80's. This one is a bit classier with Melton Wool construction and Black Goat reinforcement. Two inner pockets and cotton drill lining. Size is a 42" with 1" off the arms and length. Really nice and light to wear and...

    Christmas Jacket No. 1 - Vanson "Rush" 2012 Tour Jacket

    Stunning jacket ( probably not to the FL liking as it's a bit badged and bling) ... mid weight steer. Really well made and great attention to detail. Much "quieter" in the flesh and being worn than it appears and really neat fit ( will probably send it back for one size up or maybe some...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    It seems to be an open secret , or even a secret society ( with top secret communication, pre-warnings about dealing with certain individuals etc. etc. ) .... And those who are tend to post their affiliation openly ( Sloanie, HD, WDW etc. etc. ) In the interests of fair and reasoned...

    30 Year Old Aero M/C Jacket 44" ( more like a 46")

    Aero Collectors - this is what a 30 year old Aero Motorcycle Jacket Looks Like. I haven't seen one this old in 25 years of collecting so it's a rare beast! The Aero Motorcycle Jacket ( following the 1987 commission from Tussauds ) became something of an icon .... however Aero was making M/C...

    Aero Collectors - this is what a 30 year old Aero Motorcycle Jacket Looks Like !

    The Aero Motorcycle Jacket ( following the 1987 commission from Tussauds ) became something of an icon .... however Aero was making M/C jackets before 1987 but few ever come up in good condition. So imagine my surprise last week when one ( very badly described) one came up on ebay .. it looked...

    Red Wing Heritage 4515 Beckman Boots - size US 9.5 ( UK 8.5, Eur 42.5)

    These fit like a UK 9, Eur 43 ( I'd say they fit a 1/2 size large) I bought two of these when I was last in Houston at the Redwing shop just of Katy Fwy. I also bought a pair of 9017 Beckmans ... in Cherry Blackstone .. I'm keeping the 4515's in a 9 and the 9017's so these are surplus and...
