    I wore one jacket for the whole winter!

    Rare birdy. I've always hankered after a B2, though only Lost Worlds (overly spendy for me in London) and Buzz Rickson (Overly spendy AND I'm not sure they ever made my size) do them that I've seen. I believe Aero could make a cracker of a B2 (the Thunder Bay with the right collar and the pocket...

    What shoes are You wearing during summer?

    Eeps, 46 would definitely kill me! I've been out in Beijing in 39C, and I just wanted to lie on the floor and cry!

    schott a2 jackets??

    Nice score. I looked at one like that a couple of months ago, but got outbid late in the day. Keeping half an eye out. I like the black version. Could be nice for cooler Spring days. I still have a notion for an Aero Wilderness for a colder weather jacket, but not sure if they've canned that...

    What shoes are You wearing during summer?

    I've found the Vans I wear seem to last fairly well. I have one pair of slip-ons that will be going into their fourth Summer this year - don't know if that'll be their last, I'll see. They have been heavily worn (and through the wash a couple of times) and held up well. Four pairs of the...

    Loafers are my go to as well until we hit absolute hellheat, then I retreat into canvas.

    schott a2 jackets??

    Over the years I've also seen a lot of other brands that replicate this Schott style - at least on UK Ebay they tend to sell for a lot less without the Schott brand. A lot of them are very decent as well, though if you do go off-brand and either/and/or/both the removable collar / inner lining...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Looks like they're breaking in nicely. Nice shot of the toeshape on those Brights. I love how they've made an engineer boot with just that subtle hint of Western in the toe shape. I'm also really keen on a pair of their derby shoes with the western stitch pattern on the toe.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    The only real way to knoe for certain would be to try it, but I'd suggest dropping Schott a line, they will be able to tell you which liners fit which models, or whether they current produce one that should fit your jacket.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Nice! My engineers are all round-toed; eventually, I'd like to get a pair with this lower toe style. I don't like them when they're accompanied by laces or other fasteners that them become to an extent about decoration (I also hate those fake buckles on bags which just cover a clip or a...

    How to style a Belstaff panther jacket

    As with any hobby, you always need a place to start and an in. For a lot of folks that's the jackets, then they become interested in the other pieces around them. There's a lot of guys around these parts started with hats and worked downwards - or boots and worked up! It's a project that cam...

    Wearing an AERO HIGHWAYMAN in your actual size

    Ken put the kabosh on that for a number of reasons. The inch strip was something people were buying into to at £50 a go; Ken felt it was ripping them off. I had it in one jacket I bought used, not in others. For me, it made no difference either way - the wear I got on any of my linings was...

    How to style a Belstaff panther jacket

    Photos above are certainly how you'll see these worn in contemporary fashion. If you want a vintage look, I think there are a couple of key options. The English Rocker - denim jeans tucked into a slim, black leather motorcycled boot, with cream boot socks pulled up and tucked over the top. The...

    Modern "Grizzly" Jackets?

    Very nice. I don't think that's the very specific model the SJC one was based on (it had a one-piece mouton panel on the back iirc) , but it's close. I'd be somewhat more careful with it and bag straps and the likes than I might with leather, but otherwise as long as well protected from moths...

    Thoughts on the Thunder Bay from Aero

    I think it looks good - fits as it should, like a warm Winter Highwayman (I somewhat associate the tow as before the TB was launched, I did toy with the ideal of a HWM with a shearling lining and a mouton collar). I should think the slimmer lining is because the jacket has a separate shell. Full...

    Wearing an AERO HIGHWAYMAN in your actual size

    Exactly so. Many years ago in these parts - pre-2012, in the Lauder "anything goes" era - somebody on TFL specced up and bought a HWM that was recut to be a slimmer fit. It just didn't work. The HWM is what it is. It's designed to be boxier. When I bought mine, it was the same size as the 50s HB...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks, I'll have a look at those. The Westeds do the job nicely for now, but always worth knowing what else is out there! For multi-quotes on TFL, if you look at the bottom of the post you want to reply to, there are three options - like, quote, and reply. Just Click on the '+Quote' option in...

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    He's well known for that. In part it's a class thing - these are the strata of aristocracy who refer to "people who bought their own furniture" as an intended insult. It's interesting this repair is visible - depending on what the patch covers, that may be deliberate. A story that has done the...

    Kreosote Boots

    Ugg boots always amuse me. Back in the eighties - long before I'd heard the name 'Ugg' (I think maybe when it was still a generic Australian term that hadn't travelled, rather than a brand), my grandmother got a pair for Christmas, to wear as house slippers and keep her ankles warm in the cold -...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Lovely looking pair of boots. With the right marketing they could sell a lot of those at that sort of price. Hide reminds me of the Horween steer (I think) on the small run of boots SJC did years ago. The deep gusset reminds me a bit of the Lewis Atlantic: Nice socks! Alden Indys are on my...

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Looks to me like it fits as designed. I think tbh there's a tendency to overthink the fit, even over-fit it. IMO, that's never going to have the same results as the way these jackets looked when picked up OTR back in the day, and it's really just looking for trouble with often unrealistic...
