Now look what you did. I had just decided that I won’t buy any more jackets this year, but after reading this thread I placed an order for a Chopper! [emoji51]
They might or might not contact you when the jacket goes to production. For example they might contact you if they think the size of the jacket you have ordered doesn’t match your measurements. If everything is clear you’ll hear from them when it’s completed!
I would hazard a quess that their...
As a business owner and manager I tend to always think of ways to make my products, service and business better by listening to my customers and my employees. Sometimes I forget that there are companies and managers who actually think it’s not worthwhile to do this as ”things are pretty good as...
I personally have decided to avoid buying new Aero jackets with zips. I have quite a few of those already and I notice that these jackets don't get the weartime they deserve because of my dislike for their poor zips.

Ok, maybe I could share couple of thoughts... I have had few barnstormers and I own quite a few car coat, work coat and Peacoat style overcoats. First of all I would like to say that if you want to wear your coat open often, I would choose a single button row style. Two row styles loose their...
Great jacket! I have one made of cotton drill and I’m thinking of ordering one made of leather as well.
Ps.Sorry for my nitpicking, but isn’t this J-23 rather than J-24?
I have moleskin for sleeve lining in one of my Aero’s. I don’t find it crabbier than the cotton drill I have in quite a few Aero’s. My favorite for sleeve lining would however be cotton sateen. Actually that’s a good lining for the whole jacket, if you don’t wish to have any patterns in the...
