    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

    My PHMW fits more or less the same. The regular pattern just doesn't work with some body types. Hope to get it right on the next attempt with some drop waist (just can't give up, hah). That tailgunner looks amazing, BTW.

    Aero Dustbowl - CXL FQHH Brown - Fit / Impressions / Thoughts

    I think Dustbowl is meant as a slightly shorter jacket. I really like mine (size 38; bought from the user wild_balls). Only wish the arms were a little slimmer.

    The Detroit is in CXL steerhide; the J100 is in epsom.

    Opinions on tapered belt length button up jackets

    Can’t comment on Detroit as I’ve never owned a Bootlegger, but SB J100 is not based on BR. It has a very different pattern and fit.

    Opinions on tapered belt length button up jackets

    I have a jacket in black Epsom horsehide. The leather is similar to CXL FQHH in terms of look and feel, but it’s lighter and easier to wear. I prefer it to the thin version of CXL FQHH, which I found a bit too light. As for SB, I got two jackets from them, Detroit and J100, both excellent jackets.

    Opinions on tapered belt length button up jackets

    Do you think that kind of a taper could be requested for PMHM as well? It’s exactly the roomy mid-section/lower back area that bothers me with the standard PMHM pattern. The bottom hem of my PMHM is identical to my other jackets and fits great, but the waist area is a mess.

    Get out the goats!

    How come no company (Aero, SB, etc.) offers burgundy or maroon goathide? It’s always black or some variation of brown for some reason.

    Aero CXL FQHH

    Is the thinner CXFQHH always so grainy or did you specifically ask for an ultra grainy hide? I was offered this option as well, but I prefer cleaner hides. Perhaps it would be a better idea to wait until they stock regular CXFQHH again?

    New Aero Website looks Great!!!

    Anyone know what's going on with their customer service? Have an order pending, but barely get any replies, e-mails are ignored and only answered after a second attempt, if that. I believe I sent my last e-mail a week ago and still no response. It will be three weeks soon without any progress...

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

    Now I suddenly have a feeling that the chest pocket on my premier highwayman may not be approved either... Odd though, as their new website allows choosing a chest pocket when you go through the customisation process.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    SB J100 in Italian HH.

    Which leather for an Aero Premier Halfbelt?

    Agreed. The plastic feel and the printed (or grain-corrected) look of Vicenza are quite off-putting. I recently ordered my premier-jacket in CXL FQHH. Hope it will turn out good.

    Hooch Hauler vs Bootlegger STF

    Is there anyone who has tried both of these models? Are there any difference in sizing? I remember someone saying that Bootlegger STF has wider sleeves, but I couldn’t find the post any more. My usual measurements on a similar cross-zip: 20.75"–21" P2P, 18" shoulders, 18-19" waist. Would either...

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    Is the Hooch Hauler even trimmer than Bootlegger STF? Is it heavily tapered as well?

    Anyone else still waiting for jacket weather ?

    Agreed. Summers with 14-15 °C weather and rain are absolutely dismal. No leather jacket will change that, I’m afraid.

    Simmons Bilt

    Not just the elk and Himeji. There’s also Clayton vintage, Horween Milan/Lux (Aero doesn’t have either of them), and the Italian Epsom horsehide, which are all spectacular leathers. As for custom requests, they didn’t even charge me for some small modifications that I have asked and everything...
