    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Always impressed when I see people take this sort of project on. Well done!

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Nick, mate. When you are going to post up your new Aero black fleece!?

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    As far as I'm aware, Andrew has withdrawn to the sanctuary of the Irivn and A-2 Facebook pages he runs. I think there was a spat on the VLJ that ended with him quitting the forum, and he never had very much time for the Lounge, so it probably wasn't much of a hardship to let it go.

    Aero has natural CXL from Horween!!!

    It does darken, though nowhere near to the same extent as the raw leather. The Vicenza starts off as a more honey-esque colour compared to the clotted cream of the raw. But it's got a top coat, which I think limits the effect the elements can have on it and the amount of change you'll get.

    Aero has natural CXL from Horween!!!

    It's a bit softer, I suspect because it hasn't got a top coat, but equally dense. I've not worn mine out yet, the weather here has been pretty chilly, but it's looking good for this week. Looking forward to watching the colour change. Oh, and I would go with the raw or Vicenza over the Horween...

    Good Wear-abouts

    Two and a bit years, I think. It arrived in September last year. By all accounts, it's a beaut: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/good-wear-a-2-dubow-20960-contract-pic-heavy.94635/ I've got an Aero depot respray on order. Probably won't see it before the end of this year, but I've got...

    Good Wear-abouts

    Has to be said, by now anyone who is a member of this forum knows the state of play with Good Wear. You pay your money and you make your choice. Personally, I love my Dubow, it's a work of art and the pleasure I get from wearing it will last far longer the memory of the palaver getting it in the...

    Aero Wayfarer, Raw Horsehide - Pic Heavy

    As a reporter covering the street party for more years than I care to remember, I used to layer up so heavily for the event that I looked like the Michelin Man!

    Help out an Aero newbie

    I would always ask about available leathers. The website options do not always reflect all the options and combinations of offer.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    That's the nicest thing I've seen from Lost Worlds. Outstanding!

    Aero Wayfarer, Raw Horsehide - Pic Heavy

    Honestly, I try not venture north of Aviemore, at the most, between October and April. I still have memories of trying to dig the office transit van out of a snow filled ditch in the teeth of a snow storm. Pitch black, snow whipping me in the face while I hacked at the ice, and my friend, who...

    Aero Wayfarer, Raw Horsehide - Pic Heavy

    A lot of people do, but the isolation and hard, hard winters can become too much and they have to move back.

    Help out an Aero newbie

    Aero does offer goat in a few shades. If I recall, there was at least one Bootlegger on here made of it. Looked very cool.

    Show your natural leather

    Thought about doing this, but to be honest a 60 watt bulb has more heat and strength than the Scottish sun at the moment.

    Aero Wayfarer, Raw Horsehide - Pic Heavy

    That's the thing about Scotland. Even when the sun is out, it's rarely ever really that warm! I've been caught out in London a few times: left a chilly April Glasgow dressed appropriately, arrived in beautifully warm weather, immediately regretting my choice of jackets... It's like taking a...

    I Thanks, Benny. I reckon you'd get it to a golden turn with just an afternoon's walk in the park!

    Aero Wayfarer, Raw Horsehide - Pic Heavy

    It's a 36, so no chance of that! I'm very happy with the fit - it's still pretty much box fresh, so it'll settle down and mould to my shape with wear.

    Aero Wayfarer, Raw Horsehide - Pic Heavy

    Right, fit pics! Apologies for the delay. Weather was horrendous and then my computer went into a massive sulk for the whole weekend. Anyway, here you go. It's finally warmed up here, so hopefully I'll be getting some wear shortly and the project can begin...

    My Simmons Bilt CXL Steer Drifter

    Basically, this is like sitting at a restaurant table and speaking to another person in a language that no one else sitting at the table speaks, it's poor form. If I was you, I'd use the DM function to speak to the other person. Otherwise, Google's translator function is your friend.

    Aero A-2 Bronco W535AC29191. Russet Vicenza.

    Fit and colour look fantastic. Having tried on an original Bronco, that's very close to the original look.
