Greetings my friends!
My thanks to Carrie at Thurston Bros and Ken at Aero Leather for making this project of mine a reality as I was told this is the first time they have ever made a jacket in this combo... a Wayfarer Jacket minus the sleeve straps (from the front) combined with a Sunburst...
Thanks Van! I've seen pics of the olive thread contrast stitching on the battered tan horsehide and it looks fantastic but for what I'm doing for my jacket, olive unfortunately isn't enough contrast and Carrie agrees with me as well. I'm thinking the light tan thread color will be what I'll...
Thanks Will! I'm grateful to use my story to make a positive impact on the lives of others, showing them that a positive attitude is the catalyst to enable our dreams to come true in spite of the daily struggles we face in life.
Great to see you on here, Brother! My apologies for being away for so long... doing that in the long run probably saved me money in not buying more jackets, lol. Yeah, I've seen Van's Teamster... beautiful jacket and color. I also saw Cooperson's Battered Tan jacket which looked amazing on...
Gents,
I'm truly excited right now... 10 years ago I ordered my first Aero jacket - an Aero NYPD jacket in black front quarter chromexcel horsehide, which I still have and wear in memory of my police chief grandfather, and now today I ordered what will be my second new Aero jacket purchase.
In...
Beautiful jacket and best of success on your sale! I just acquired an original Windward and posted in the Outerwear forum. I absolutely love these old Windward jackets! :)
Hello my friends!
It's been a while since my last post and an even longer while since my last leather jacket purchase, but I recently acquired this beautiful Montgomery Ward horsehide Windward with the original belt, which I removed as the belt lies on a painful area of my abdomen, that is...
Hey Joel! Great pics you posted! I'm actually quite into the classic version of table tennis played from the 1930s thru 1950s and is making a comeback today. Google "hardest table tennis". These are pimples rubber table tennis bats with no layer of sponge between rubber and wood so the game...
Thanks, my friend! Much RESPECT to you on your diving efforts!! The fact you were able to give it your best effort, you succeeded no matter if you made it or not. I feel the same way about table tennis. My best game comes when I eliminate winning and losing from the equation. I've already...
Hey Guppy! I did post a picture of my special jacket (the one my youngest daughter had made for me). Were you not able to see it on your screen? I'll definitely post some updates of the Aero jacket shortly... with my Parkinson's, it's tough for me to type for too long.
Hello Gents!
It has been a while since my last post and life continues to get more amazing by the second. Last year I proudly represented the USA for an Olympic level competition in Romania, and I wound up doing great in beating my opponents from Japan and Russia before losing to a tough...
Great to hear from you, my friend!! God Bless your father in law. Feel free to share with him my feature articles if they help to inspire him. My goal is to help fellow Parkinson's sufferers to realize that staying as physically active as possible can help slow the progression of the disease...
