    An interesting twist on my aero after losing weight

    Because the lows are below 30 about 5 months a year here (we live in the mountains with lake effect weather), I travel to rather cold places for work often, I have light weight jackets already, and I really thought the alpaca would be far warmer than it was. The short shearling will be good for...

    An interesting twist on my aero after losing weight

    Here are the original photos. The jacket looks a little bit looser than normal, as I had it made so that I could wear it with thick fisherman sweaters, but Im only wearing a Tshirt in the photo.

    An interesting twist on my aero after losing weight

    I recently sent my Aero steerhide jacket which is a cheyene / highwayman hybrid back to Aero, as I lost about 6" from my waist and 1.5 from my chest and it just didnt fit quite right anymore, even with the straps cinched all the way in. I like my jackets to fit somewhat loose, but this was just...

    Aero 9 months + wait, is this common ?

    He put himself in the middle, he is not part of Aero, he is a completely separate distributor affiliated with Aero as a reseller. He is basically the same as a beer distributor, that is affiliated with the beer company, but simply distributes to the public. The difference in this case is that...

    Aero 9 months + wait, is this common ?

    I didnt say I didnt deal with Mark, I said I didnt buy from mark. His attitude and responsiveness did not impress me, so I went straight to the source.

    Will and Amanda @ Aero

    Will and Amanda always amaze me at their level of service. I have no doubt that I have emailed Amanda 200 times over the last few years and always a prompt response. I have spoken to her and Will on the phone a few times and they have been the most accommodating people, as if they woke up that...

    Aero sizing...???

    Why not just give aero your measurements, tell them if you want it to fit, tight or lose and the largest item of clothing (with additional measurements) that you plan on wearing with the jacket. Aero will just custom make the jacket to you, rather than you trying to fit into a stock jacket.

    Aero 9 months + wait, is this common ?

    I really dont think you can put Mark and Aero Scotland in the same category. Not including the pattern Ive noticed in shipping times. Mark specializes in simple one stop shopping. He will answer a few questions and that is his deal. Aero Scotland custom builds anything you want. I have had...

    Aero 9 months + wait, is this common ?

    I believe Marks orders take substantially longer than ordering straight from the factory. I dont know if that is just that I have only read threads where this comes up, or if he gets deliveries in batches, or what. I have had 2 custom orders from the ground up and seem to get my jackets long...

    Review of Saddleback Leather Briefcase

    Their horsehide is lighter and less stiff, but I dont remember the exact weight. I know their steerhide is 5.50z+, I think their horse is around 4oz. I got the chestnut, I know I'll like the bag, but its not like I had a ton of choices unless I went custom which I just didnt want to do. I...

    Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?

    Im not worried about the job itself. Ive worked for this company and my current superiors for 8 years working my way up the ranks into management. I am well respected and well liked, but no one is calling me up asking me to play poker on poker night if you know what I mean. But, what you...

    Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?

    I think you all may be taking their dislike of ties to a whole new level. No one is getting laid off because they dress to nicely. I guess I just wanted to know if you though Id really stick out or if after a passing comment people would forget about it and move on. I want to be known for the...

    Review of Saddleback Leather Briefcase

    I dont know what type of hide you have, but my heavy steer is definitely thicker and heavier, by a decent margin. I worked with saddleback explained my concerns and they were willing to take the bag back paying shipping and refunding my initial shipping. The major issue that they make the...

    Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?

    I actually am not a fan of bowties, just regular ties. I prefer paisley and stripe ties, simple colors, and 7 fold when I can find them.

    Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?

    Ha! That is what Im afraid I'd feel like if I wore a tie. I have a lot of friends at the office, but fitting in is just not something I do well. I stick out like a sore thumb, not because of my dress, just because....I just do. Im not one that blends, as far as personality goes, so I dont...

    Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?

    I work for a very casual company. jeans and polo shirts with sneakers are about as dressy as it gets for those not in executive management positions. I usually wear a button down dress shirt, jeans, and loafers and get a few comments, but I get by. On the other hand, ties are never worn, even...

    Review of amazing journal

    I recently had this journal made by Renaissance Art that I thought I would provide a quick review on, as it has exceeded my wildest expectations. I type almost everything on my computer, but no matter how good of a typist I become (I type much faster than I write), I cannot listen to someone...

    Straight Razor Advice needed.

    Back when SRP was smaller I used to be a moderator there when I had more time. I can assure you that there is no better place to be for straight shaving advice. I dont log on much anymore,as I always want to buy something new when I do, but its a great place and friendly people. BTW, here is...
