new cold weather wear

[jgilbert]

Yea I know it is the height of summer. However soon it will be time to don that jacket, sweater, coat. So what is on your wish list for later this yr?

 

[Creeping Past]

Aero Barnstormer. Just maybe.

How about a Good Wear Leather A2. Not sure which contract as of yet.

Well I just spent the last two days e-mailing Mark at Aero for a brown LHB FQHH. Should be here by August. Can not wait to test its winter durability.

Heard from Mark at Aero yesterday morning that my new 1756 A-2 has left the factory - just waiting to hear that it has "landed", then it's on its way to me!

For next Winter, I have my eye on an ELC 1940 pattern (four panel) Irvin. I'd also love to have a WW1 style long pilot's coat in brown leather with blanket lining and a wool pile collar, but that will most likely have to wait a few years yet given my budget!!

June 2nd I ordered an Aero Brown FQHH Barnstormer from Mark. I ordered the USA edition so I could get the inside pocket and tartan wool lining (Utah winters can get mighty cold). Just waiting to hear from him that it is finished. Of course the first few months I have it, it will look really nice hanging in my closet, but that's about it.

Im looking forward to getting alot of fall/winter wear out of my two major purchases this year, an original Irvin and my new Goodwear no-name 42-18246-P A-2.

 

[PENSACOLA]

Yeah, saw your GW over at VLJ--AWESOME!!! I have 2 of JC's A-2's...all I can say is, WOW!!!

I was going to go with an Aero Barnstorer, but was persuaded by Aero USA to look elseware for something that was not leather. I think I have decided on a custom Pea Coat from Schott made in the WWII weight and thickness that will extend about 52" rather than the standard 32", I figure that should keep me pretty warm no matter where I go or what Im doing.

 

[RudyN]

Finally made up my mind. I ordered a Goodwear A2-Perry Sportswear in Russet Horesehide.

 

[Jeff Naylor]

Bookster Chesterfield.

 

[David Conwill]

I'm going to make this...

Inspired by Fishmeok's A2 project, I'm going to make myself a casual winter coat from this pattern:

Frenchglen Barn Jacket

I bought this pattern and the material (dark brown twill outer, plaid flannel inner) before I started law school with the intention of learning to sew. Now I'm back at it.

I'll don my sweet and warm dark green Loden coat, which I inherited from my late Grandpa (yes, I am only a youngster, but eagerly exploring the world of classic Men's dress).

EDIT: A coat like this (not my pic):
