    Aero Sheene became too tight. Need advice ;-)

    Ultimately only you know if you're going to be comfortable in a jacket.These pics however don't appear to be small in any way at all. In fact, the cut seems somewhat generous. Note that most of the bi-swing shoulder gussets are not that functional and don't add a significant amount of...

    Aero Bi-swing back vs. Shoulder Gussets

    Because this thread is several years old & Photobucket lost the plot over that time. They used to be a reasonable platform to share pics, but changed their t’s & c’s and became a 4th rate platform.

    Aero Sheene vs Cafe Racer

    The 'Sheene' is technically a Thurston Bros special. It is a cafe racer with the Highwayman collar - so the fit is IDENTICAL in every way. So called after Barry Sheene, a British professional Motorcycle Racer & World Champion; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Sheene

    Anyone tried Aero beeswax or similar?

    Generally speaking, chrome tanned will provide substantially better water resistance to veg tanned hides. what about a tumbled cxl fqhh?

    Buying a used jacket from Australia..are there Import taxes?

    I’ve sold a bunch of jackets to people in the USA. Whilst I can’t speak with certainty about import duties on that side of the pond, none of the people I’ve sold to have ever complained about import duties.

    Goat vs. Steer

    I doubt anything of even middling quality, hand made in Australia would be “very cheap”.

    Goat vs. Steer

    Out of curiosity, which Australian tailor? I have an Aero goathide jacket & it’s one of my most comfortable to wear. I love it as a hide. It does show character, just not the same as horse does.

    Vicenza vs Goatskin

    Well, I’m probably not the most well-educated here in regards to tanning methods. Basically though, a veg-tanned product will not have the water repellent properties of a chrome tanned equivalent. Vicenza is a veg-tanned hide, whilst the goat is (I think) a chrome-tanned product. I’m sure that...

    Aero Leather is only a Business...

    Simple, don’t cancel your order. Rather ask them to leave it on hold & reinvigorate the order within the next 12 months. I’d bet they’d be open to something along these lines.

    Vicenza vs Goatskin

    I’ve got both. The first observation is that hides of any variety (FQHH, Goat, Vicenza etc) can ALL vary significantly from batch to batch. I had a goat slim half belt years ago that felt like cardboard. Pretty sure it was an anomaly (or perhaps the prior owner did something to it). the goat...

    Aero Cafe Racer Without Bi-Swing Back (Shoulder Gussets) -- Good Idea?

    The cafe racer pattern is quite unforgiving. why not consider the boar racer based ‘Seven’? Carrie at Thurston will be able to talk you through the differences & whether this will meet your needs.
