    Aero Highwayman, help!

    Glad you mentioned that. I have been preparing for two trips and totally blanked on that one. Thought I asked but apparently I did not because I checked my old emails. This shipping fee issue is the one drawback to the whole ordeal...will report back when I find out what they can do...

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    I just wanted to follow up and say that I am very pleased with my communication with the folks at Aero. They have been extremely helpful and kind! Looking forward to getting the jacket back soon. Barry

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    Yep, that's the one. The leather is in 100% great shape. It is one heck of a beautiful jacket. It is by far the nicest jacket I have ever owned. It didn't go through any undue stress that I know of. It fits well and I wore it a lot. It actually split from the bottom a few days prior to the...

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    Paddy, Thanks. I appreciate it. I sent the jacket in to Amanda, probably should have gone through Mark though. It landed in the UK last night. I guess it will arrive at Aero today or tomorrow - whenever it clears customs. I am not too upset. I might actually order a half-belt next...

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    I noticed the same thing. The leather, designs and stitching are all wonderful but the zippers & buckles seemed to be so-so. If they were producing thousands and thousands of jackets (maybe they are, I dunno) I could understand it. Either way - if I'm going to spend what I spent for one of...

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    Shipped to Scotland this AM. It's still under warranty. Shipping was crazy expensive. Barry

    Aero Highwayman, help!

    :cry: I was sitting on the bus this morning and looked down and noticed that the zipper on my zipped up highwayman had come unzipped - at the bottom! It basically split. Once I got home I tried zipping down and reconnecting the zipper but it didn't work. After a four hour struggle I said...

    Remove your hat?

    I always take my hat off indoors. The only time I didn't take it off indoors was when I was going through chemotherapy and didn't feel comfortable without it. Barry

    Advice on Hat Stands/hat protection?

    I needed extra closet space so I purchased two narrow wardrobes from Ikea. Since I am single and things could change within the next couple of years I didn't want to sink a lot of money into a super fancy armoire/wardrobe. Anyways, one of my warddrobes has about 6 shelves in it - each shelf...

    Whippet - 7 5/8 Oval (on Ebay)

    No worries, apology accepted. In retrospect, posting it wasn't a good idea. I actually had second thoughts about doing it myself. I should have looked back through the other postings of E-Bay auctions - if I had I would have realized that for the most part after the 6th or 7th posting...

    Whippet - 7 5/8 Oval (on Ebay)

    I was about to feel all sad and sorry that I posted that message until I read one of your other posts (http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=5828). If the mods want to delete my thread, fine. The damage is done at this point. However, I will not post anything else about larger size...

    My Next Jacket?

    Salv, Which distributor in did you go to? I'm trying to find that 2-Tone Gab jacket and having a heck of a hard time getting a response from the shops that carry it. Thanks, Barry

    Anyone in NYC who could give me hat tips?

    I will be in NYC and Brooklyn towards the middle of the month. I was going to go this week but I was sick. I will be in Sheepshead bay for an afternoon. I'm coming from Manhattan but I will be sure to stop by Bencraft when I'm up there - I just need to figure out which train to take. My...

    On Gentlemen

    This brought back a bad memory that I can now laugh about. I remember one unusually cold fall Wednesday night after 6th grade hebrew school I was standing outside the synagouge along with some other students and a girl kept glaring at me. I finally asked her what she wanted and she screamed...

    Getting first hat. Suggestions?

    Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I had no idea. They did have a number on display - I live basically up Wisconsin Avenue from the store (I'm in Glover Park). Do you sell finished hats too? I plan to buy a Montecristi for the spring / summer. Barry
