    Cuffed Jeans

    Cuffed jeans or not?? Noticed a little banter on here regarding the practice of wearing your jeans cuffed or not. Back in my Mod days in the 60's, we certainly DIDN'T cuff our jeans - it was more of a bikeboy thing - but we were the ones wearing US made jeans (Levi & Lee). Nowadays, it seems...

    Vintage short wool jackets

    Looks like a candidate for a caption competition... I think the tall guy is saying "Hey man! Your hat looks better on me, even when it's back to front!!" :D;)

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    I'm with you there on the guitars, Edward. when I got my first "proper" guitar back in the mid 60's (a Kalamazoo-made Epiphone Casino with a Bigsby), if I wasn't playing it, I was polishing it! And I still do the same. Jackets though, I tend to prefer to look a little used. Not worn out &...

    Vintage short wool jackets

    Aero have done the "Waterfront" for a while now, but have never expanded this range, so I guess it is not so popular as their leather offerings. I keep fancying one - I'm sure I've seen a red one, which would be perfect.:D;)

    Alexander Leathers "Indiana" jacket

    Here's a pic (which has been on here before) from "Only Angels Have Wings" made in 1939. Maybe someone could make a repro of this one. Similarly drapey, like the Raiders thing, but with a closer fit (not hanging off his shoulders) and much smaller pockets. I suspect that it was real...

    An alternate Aeromarine??

    My word! I hadn't seen that one when I was doing the mods to the Aeromarine. So with a bit of synchronicity, and alot of input from fellow FLers, it turned out quite well... I especially like Edward's suggestion of the buttons & loops on the pockets:D;) The LVC one looks just a tad longer in...

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    So the Simmons Bilt doesn't have a collar like the AlexCo thing after all. It has a shawl collar. So I repeat what I said in the first place. I guess they can't be bothered getting it right. Unlike Himel, Aero and LVC, who can.........:D;)

    Oh yes! A regular wearer. The buttons are much easier now!!:eeek:;)

    An alternate Aeromarine??

    OK, I've taken the suggestions on board. Here's the Aeromarine with curved pockets, complete with buttons and loops........ :D;)

    Nice Himel Check Heron

    Unfortunately, it is made from heavy hide, which really doesn't suit the design so well. Needs to be softer to achieve some degree of drape (IMHO):D;)
