    Aero Leather is only a Business...

    My thoughts exactly. I'm a long time Aero customer, a good one I dare say, having bought around 20 jackets directly from them. Most of them from their sales page, but maybe 7-8 as custom orders. I've never been asked for a deposit or a prepayment. One time I decided to cancel a custom order...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Worst thing about losing weight is finding out that your old favorites have become oversized for you. LW Downtown Back to storage goes the Downtown. Good thing about the weight loss is that you can fit in something that didn’t fit you last time you tried: Aero Long hb

    Aero Cafe Racer Without Bi-Swing Back (Shoulder Gussets) -- Good Idea?

    Of course Aero's team are the experts, but I'll give my 0,02€: Tight fitting jacket without any gussets or action back usually restricts arm movement up and especially forward. One way to work around this is very high arm holes like I believe Aero's board racer has. In general I would say that...

    Aero Jackets for big guys

    Yeah, that’s what I thought. Actually bootlegger or it’s straight zip sister the Route 66 would be my recommendation for anyone with more muscle in the chest/shoulder area.

    Aero Jackets for big guys

    I would discourage any lifter to go with the premier range. I believe these have quite narrow shoulders even when compared with ”standard” 30’s patterns. Of course if the lifter in question avoids bench presses and overhead presses and does mostly squat and deadlift it might be different...

    Aero Jackets for big guys

    Oh and I forgot to mention that if you have large taper from chest to waist you might want to discuss with Thurston about changing the taper of the jacket from standard pattern. For example Size 48" chest measurement but size 46" waist measurement. But as said, Thurstons folks are pros, just...

    Aero Jackets for big guys

    Hi @Dennis M and welcome to the lounge! I am 6'2" weighing around 255 with 49-50" chest and I too like to lift as a hobby. I have a collection of Aero jackets and I've found it hard to figure out their sizing system. Let's say that I've learned their sizing by the hard (=expensive) way...

    Don't buy a new jacket until you watch this

    Are you guys sure his advice is meant for heterosexual males? Just watched few minutes of the video in OP and for me this guy is giving huge gay vibes. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with that, but maybe many of us here are not in his target audience? I'm not an expert, but I have the feeling...

    New Lost Worlds Suburban in navy blue fqhh

    At the time I made my order Stu had only one thickness of navy and olive hh, which he said was 3 oz. For me that's really nice weight. It feels substantial but doesn't require extensive brake in period to feel wearable. Also, Please note, in real life this navy hh is darker than in that photo...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    To answer the question: no, I could not. First of all I enjoy too much rotating my jackets and wearing a different one every day. Secondly, up here in the north it gets rather cold outside in the winter time and we tend to keep our houses quite warm. This means that wearing (same) jacket both...

    I think that collar is rather cool and 700 pounds is pretty much the minimum you will have to pay for such a coat.
