    Praying for strength . . .

    So........ let me see if I have this right. You have come to the most enabling place in the world to convince you to ....... not buy it? Hmmm, ok then. It's an investment piece, not a daily wearer. Get it before someone else does, NOW!!!!!

    Show us your oldest leather jacket

    Well, my 25 year old Connolly Steerhide highwayman is the closest thing I have to a 'vintage', but next to your stunning examples it seems like a pimply faced teenager. Here's some shots anyway....

    Be honest. What kind of jacket would you want to choose for going on a trip?

    Lightweight, moderate warmth, reasonable weather resistance. Either a waxed cotton or synthetic material is the way to go. Such a shame really as the leather options are all too heavy for serious travel jackets.

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    Thanks for retaking the pictures. Based on your second set of images, I'd suggest that this fit is spot on. The problem with asking for fit advice is that everyone will have opinions, but no one other than you has to wear the jacket. If you're comfortable, then keep it. If you're not, then in...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    Take your hands out of your pockets, let your arms hang naturally & retake the photos. I predict the result will alter the perceived 'fit' of the sleeve length noticeably. Remember that with any measurements, FQHH is a beast of a leather. + or minus 1/2 an inch is within tolerance. So if your...

    Hi Carrie, that's a stunning combination, which tartan is this one?

    Ordering the perfect Aero Sheene: Advise?

    Only thing I would add is that the café racer as the donor jacket has quite a significant taper from the shoulders through to the waist. If you're an athletic shape with a 'V' shaped torso, then that's great, if you're more of a stocky build, you might want to consider adding a little extra to...

    FS; Aero Limited Edition 'Ace Cafe Rocker' Highwayman Black 42

    Here is something quite special, you certainly don't see these pop up very often. If you did, I doubt you'd see one in this condition. It's very lightly worn. Here is the post that I made when it first arrived...

    Am I crazy for not loving my new Aero horsehide jacket?

    Well, I've currently got 5 Aeros. 2 x FQHH, 1 x Goat, 1 x Heavy Steerhide & 1 x Good Old Connelly Steerhide. Love them all but they do all have very different properties. Give it time & wear the heck out of it. The more you use it, the better it will become it really is that simple. It...

    Worth going to Aero leather in Scotland to get jacket made/otr?

    Welcome to the price we pay for living in the best country in the world! By the way, I think everyone here is still searching for the 'perfect' fit - even after years of experience, multiple jackets & many, many dollars.......

    Worth going to Aero leather in Scotland to get jacket made/otr?

    Yes they do. I believe there's a small 'shop' as such where a number of jackets are available to look at and try on. I'd say that it'd be well worth the trip if you're out that way. Just keep in mind that if you get measured there and order a jacket, the delivery and possible subsequent Aust...

    Been doing that for the last 2 years... Could still get away with it which is why I'm really on the fence about selling.

    FS: Aero 'Sheene' 42 Brown FQHH

    Thanks Protein. I even asked Aero if they could retro fit new side panels with +1". Denny's reply was to sell & start again. At this price less international postage, I'll loose 50% of what it cost me. Add the costs of a new jacket & that's a heck of a lot to pay for 2" of leather! Ah the...
