    Aero vs Simmons Bilt - leather sample - customer experience

    I mean it can go both ways I think.Aero probably has enough orders that they don't want to cut up usable hides into pieces that will get thrown away. SB has less customers I think and are more eager to get new ones.

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    Round 1 was someone's discovery of five star leather which seems to have put Pakistan on to the map . Round 2 is a different factory I have been working with that may or may not make a better leather jacket in the end . I am a German ordering something in Pakistan

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    The more naturally finished hide is similar in temper and feel to vansons horsehide and looks very similar too. If you add a shiny top coat then it looks more like the shiny stuff from Japan .

    Aero Premiere 1930s Half Belt Russet Badalassi- SQUEAKING

    Sometimes conditioners with wax help to minimize it .It depends on the surface treatment.Acrylic top coats create a loud squeak and quiet down once worn off. Wear it around the house

    I have bought a Vanson and a schott .It is not the money.I kind of like the hunt or tinkering around.I know it is stupid. I might buy a aero halfbelt soon . I just need to be able to test fit or send it back due to the small size 34 . I don't know if they have 34 in stock or offer to take...
