    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's rainy and 10 degrees Celsius out right now. Wearing my "indestructible" Aero 30s half belt with a hoody for warmth

    My New Aero Seven and my 4 year old 30s Halfbelt (lots of shots!!)

    I don't notice them when I wear them. But I had them for the last 3 years:D. I find that my Redwing iron rangers are more comfortable and seem to break in faster than the Beckmans.

    My New Aero Seven and my 4 year old 30s Halfbelt (lots of shots!!)

    After about 10 weeks of waiting (7 weeks to have the jacket made and 2-3 weeks waiting for Canada Post Strike Threats to subside), I finally received my Aero Seven Jacket in Russet Vicenza. All I can say is WOW! It feels great, smells great and I feel the fit is spot on! I believe Carrie at TB...

    My New Aero D1 Shearling Jacketm

    Got my Aero D1 jacket today from Thurston Bros. It was the size 38 Seal with Russet Vicenza trim featured on their stock page. The measurements looked like it a good fit for me. I was debating on getting another B3 (I have an Eastman Redskin B3 size 44 - too big or me now :( ) or an Anj 4...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    :D:D:D Thanks Carrie:D The jacket looks awesome. And the russet hide is gorgeous. Also the nickel hardware has nice contrast without it being too bright. Great suggestion over the vintage brass I was initially thinking about!

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    That buffalo hide looks so nice and the contrast stitching just pops! Is the hide as thick and supple as the Italian horsehide model? If I didn't have a custom Aero seven ordered already (part of the July allotment batch) I would have seriously considered another Thedi in the espresso! Hopefully...

    Aero Steerhide

    Mike D, I have a quick question... When looking at the BR fit jacket and the final seven jacket, the zipper length seems shorter in the fit jacket compared to the final jacket. In the fit jacket, the main zipper ends at or near the top of your belt buckle. In the final jacket, the zipper seems...

    My Aero Board Race/Seven Fit Pics

    I just got recommendations from Carrie regarding body and sleeve lengths. She stated that shortening the body and the use of Vicenza, the back should drape better and would not have that bulge. The fit jacket is heavy steer thus the stiff drape and bulge. She suggested 1-1.5 inches shortening of...

    Thanks for all the recommendations :) I'm planning on getting an Aero Seven in Russet Vicenza with OD green stitching, 4 pocket config all zipped, buco j100 back - maybe make it a one piece back rather than the two piece back. All antique brass hardware. I'm just putting a plain cotton drill...

    Questions about duty fees for Canadians Ordering from Thurston Bros....

    Hello, I just received the fit jacket for my Aero Seven order (pics to follow in another thread :) ) from TB. I paid about $130 for duty, GST and handing fees for it. I'm returning the fit jacket and plan to order a custom Aero seven. Once I receive the custom jacket, am I going to get charged...

    Looking for opinions on pocket configuration for an Aero Seven

    I agree it is really an attractive looking jacket. However, I already paid for my fit jacket through Thurston Bros. No refunds allowed once the custom process has started so I'm committed to Aero right now. Thank you for all your responses.

    Looking for opinions on pocket configuration for an Aero Seven

    How did you find the handwarmer pockets? Did they feel bulky? I'm leaning toward the 4 pocket config for balance and I plan to have the handwarmer zip pulls close toward the hem. If you don't mind, what were the other reasons you didn't like the jacket? Since I own and really like my Thedi...
