I am an Aero civil jacket fan at TFL, and just have no interest in military jackets. IMHO Aero makes the best leather jackets, period, plust their cust. svce is excellent, so it isn't surprising they have a big worldwide following. I bought a Hwyman last year when it was 425 pounds, and locked...

Hi Van. As I said over on TFL, great jacket, perfect fit. When I spoke with Will at the time of ordering my Hwyman a few months back, he said as an option "they had found some very old FQHH that was about 9 years old, down in the basement." He also said it was darker than the current regular...

Sperry topsiders? Ugh, that's a look I cringe at even at the Florida Century Village centers... Get canvas sneakers, like these for crying out loud: http://www.endless.com/s?ie=UTF8&dept=2 ... f_rd_t=101 Anyway, as for Stu/LW, who is about 10 minutes away from me, I am a native NYer, here in...

I believe that "scrawny kid" is the son of the owner, Will Lauder.

It doesn't matter what age - only a person lacking confidence and brains would rely upon a dishrag like GQ for opinions on anything.
