    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    The ( now discontinued) Californian was my go to jacket for about 12 years and over 1 million air miles :) The VDR is also a longtime favourite and is equally at home with jeans and boots or trousers, shoes and a shirt and tie.

    have 2 with a cord hem ( LHB and Barnstormer) and shearling liner and have had 2 with a leather trim ( HBD and Highwayman) with shearling liner. The leather strip works well with a shorter style ( HB/HBD/Highwayman) as the leather strip is only about 2-3" and as such doesn't add too much...

    Aero Branded Zippers

    If I remember correctly the "Big A" Aero zippers were actually made by the Aero Knitting Needle Company .... I had them on my "lost" Brown Highwayman. It was a muckle beast ( the zipper and the jacket). Not sure who made the 2 way one above .... but I like it. The YKK zippers branded "Aero"...

    Bill Kelso dark seal Liberty horse

    If it fits with his view re. free speech ... and fits with how he feels .... then good on him ( I don't think he's likening anything to a terrorist massacre .. more a challenge re. free speech) .... and I don't find it tasteless at all, I think it's a little bit witty TBH I have to say...
