    "Slimming" an Aero

    My experience is the following: I normally would need size 42, I am 178cm & 74 kg. Thus for trim fit, I ordered chest size 40, but length and arm-length like in size 42 (for my Highwayman & 50's Halfbelt). Therefore length and arm-length are correct, but chest is trim fitting. Especially with...

    Oil pull Aero hides

    Dear Jan & Olli, Thanks for posting the pics and the compliments for the jacket. What kind of Jacket have you on order, Olli? I am curious and also think about another piece from Aero. I was always wondering, if it would be a good idea to open an own Aero Thread as a kind of "Aero Library", were...

    Oil pull Aero hides

    The current Oil Pull is much darker than the Jacket of Jan and reminds me on "dark chocolate". Please find attached links to my 1950's Halfbelt, which is now 4 months old. Compared to my other Aero Jackets, the Oil Pull is lighter in weight and very soft right from the start. To me it is an...

    How do loungers deal with extreme cold weather?

    Here in Mongolia the most extreme temperature that I faced was -45 oC during night. At these temperatures I wear a wool cap, my 23 year old B-3, fleece shawl, cashmere sweater, jeans, silk longjohns, camel hair socks, boots with insulating insole and löbster type handgloves. With this gear I did...

    Red Wing 9017 Chukka!! Anyone?

    Hi, I bought them around Christmas and I must say they are very nice in aspect of fabrication, leather quality and color. The fit in my case is outstanding and I only can advice them. When photos are needed, please let me know.

    My new Aero Route 66

    I still think that it is a bit too tight in the waiste, because the straps are just loose in the buckle. See also previous discussion: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showt...ighlight=strap When tightened accurately, the jacket would be too snug to wear.

    My new Aero Route 66

    It's abeautiful jacket! When I see it, on the upper body it fits nicely, but in the waiste it is too tight, because your side-straps are more than 100% open. That's also the reason why it folds up over your waiste.

    Your opinion of Hugo Boss jackets?

    Find it also quite strange to compare Nazi uniforms with nowadays designs and as Mysterious Mose already mentioned: Hugo Ferdinand Boss passed into eternity in 1948.

    Comparable differences between B-3 and B-6?

    Here in Mongolia I wear my already 25 years old Avirex B3 at temperatures down to -45oC with a longsleeve shirt and a cashmere sweater without any problems. Also a dog sleigh trip last year for a few hours at temperatures between -25oC and -30oC were no problem. When I lived in Europe I could...

    Rather ridiculously amazing German motorbike jacket-heads up

    I hardly believe that this jacket is that old. I saw these jackets new, when I went to school in the 70's, thus this jacket is maximum 40 years old

    RAF Gauntlets

    Hi Edward, the temperature in Beijing will be in Winter about the same as in central Europe, thus maybe -10 to -15oC lowest. A pair of A10 should do the job easily. Of course it also depends how long you want to stay outside and on your outside activities. I have some experience, because here in...

    My broken in Highwayman (about 3 months)

    Hi Griff, congrats, this is a very nice jacket. I have the same, but in black just a few weeks old. I have a question: Why are the adjustable side-straps of your jacket completely open? Do you prefer a more loose fit around the waiste? I have the problem that I ordered leather inside on the...

    My new Aero A2 38-1711-P

    Beautiful A2 Hallo Oliver, your new A2 is very beautiful. I have a seal brown FQHH A2 45-1410P from Aero for just 5 months now and it slowly gets smooth and breaks in. I'll post some photos when I have time. I wish you proud & happy wearing of your new "Schmuckstueck". Gruss Uwe

    Help me order the perfect A2 from Aero !

    Aero Bomber Hi Christian, when authenticity doesn't matter that much to you, why aren't you taken the Aero Bomber Jacket? It has the A-2 style, but also handwarmer pockets. http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/5892718 Regards & and good luck with your choice. Uwe
