jaco nice idea…so everyone needs to post the real item names in their wtb list so that everyone who uses the search function can track them down and make it easier to find'em!
or is it possible to just create a "wtb (no chat)" thread without all that chit chat going on so the thread stays clean so everyone can post their list and is able to find things that others wtb a bit easier! everyone's allowed to post their list only "once" though (only can be modified!)…

Monday, how do you like the Bedwin and the Heartbreakers Varsity compared to the Aero/IH Varsity? Was wondering how much better quality you can get than the Aero/IH considering the Bedwin one is twice as much money. Also, what do you think of the fit for each?
-
i got my monies worth on both items.
kind of like denim from Flathead & Iron Heart or comparing footwear from White's & Viberg, they are all great for different reasons. as far as fit, i think both are great considering one is bespoke (Aero/IHUK Forum Varsity) & one is off the rack (Bedwin).
are you considering a Bedwin Varsity? Bodega has them under retail at the moment if that was holding you back from getting one.

Na, I personally wouldn't pay that much for the Bedwin varsity, I like the IH varsity better and I don't think Bedwin makes a size big enough for me anyways. I was just wondering why you had both, if you thought one was better than the other is all.
Also, judging from your fit pics, the IH looks like an extremely better fit in the chest and you even have a hoodie on underneath. I'm sure this just comes down to the IH Varsity being bespoke while the Bedwin is not.

being that I had a small hand in one beinng created kind of tilts the scales for me. Little known fact my name was going to be in the nomenclature for the Aero/IH UK Varsity but I thought it limited the audience and said nah. My wife likes the Bedwin better on me so that is what I wear most. oh and its not much I don't have two of i like well made stuff and honestly am very spoiled

Oh that's sweet. I'd love to spec all the materials and design a jacket for IH. I guess I didn't think anything of it if someone mentioned this was your idea in the varsity thread and that you put work in on the project. Seems there are tons of suggestions on the forum for new products but no one else gets credit for it, which makes complete sense as Haraki is the designer. So I'm glad you opted not to have your name on it. I thought the inspiration for the varsity was from when Haraki visited the Aero factory but I guess I'm wrong. Good job on the collab though, looks good.

Haraki has nothing to do with this as far as i know & i think the someone that mentioned my involvement was Gile$. maybe he was being nice & throwing me a bone
one of the reasons i have one & he has one is because i was kind of there from the start. the PMs are entertaining between me & Giles with me asking for all kinds of chambray & crazy madmonday stuff. if it's okay for me to publish our private conversations in the appropriate thread i might just so folks see the entire process (but of course i have to get his okay first). pretty sure i said i had a small hand in it, but you are right i should take more credit for it.uwm thanks for all the kudos & questions. it feels good to be able to have well made things that you are into despite what they might cost some folks on the retail side, but who knows, in a week i may just sell them both and be over this varsity thing.
wait, was there any more questions?

would be a shame if she wouldn't if you ask me ;)…and thanks for having "a little hand in this"...and thanks to Giles for posting their time with Haraki and Ayumi in england (at the aero factory), cuz that was the first time I/we saw lovely Ayumi in one of the Aero varsities, which I think was the actual inspiration right
