    Christmas Jacket No 2 - Alexanders Leathers "Donkey Jacket"

    Bought this as a bit of a whim and I really like it - had one back in the 80's. This one is a bit classier with Melton Wool construction and Black Goat reinforcement. Two inner pockets and cotton drill lining. Size is a 42" with 1" off the arms and length. Really nice and light to wear and...

    Christmas Jacket No. 1 - Vanson "Rush" 2012 Tour Jacket

    Stunning jacket ( probably not to the FL liking as it's a bit badged and bling) ... mid weight steer. Really well made and great attention to detail. Much "quieter" in the flesh and being worn than it appears and really neat fit ( will probably send it back for one size up or maybe some...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    interesting opinion HD ... I struggle to see what innocence I'm proclaiming or indeed which house rules I've called into question ....... besides I thought I was on your ignore list ????

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    I don't see any evidence from any other manufacturer .... perhaps a little with regard to JC and Goodwear ..... but then only really in relation to A-2's. I've never seen a post re. "The Goodwear Fanboys", or the "Bill Kelso Fanboys" .. I have however seen many re " The Aero Fanboys" I have...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    I'm not sure what it gets us Seb ... Other than clarity, objectivity and a little bit of understanding. In any case, I thought it a question worth asking, with no malice aforethought, I thought loyalty might be something people might want to declare and therefore that loyalty ( or bias could...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    There are only 2 points in the OP 1. Affiliations should be clear and open ( carrie@insurrection ... There is no ambiguity here, no unintended or intended deceipt .... ) IMHO others have not been as open or clear ( some examples were quoted but by no means the full and extensive list) ... I...

    Aero Chromexcel Steerhide

    Just to be clear .... according to the Horween website CXL is not sanded or shaved.

    Aero Chromexcel Steerhide

    but it's not fashion stuff, Corrected leather is actually one of their major products ( Footwear and "Football" leather) indeed Horween sells more "Top Grain" leather than it does "Full Grain" ( from what I have been told by Horween) .. and indeed many would atest that the shaving, sanding...

    Aero released new Premier Range 1920s Work Coat

    Not sure they are Cliff ... a number of manufacturers are using Corozo buttons ( although perhaps they don't openly advertise the fact) . As well as horn, shell and various other materials use in original vintage jackets. Equally many manufacturers ( Himmel Bros, Bill Kelso and many more) are...

    All bias should be called out ...... but I'll start with the positive bias for a start :D

    Aero Chromexcel Steerhide

    Nonsense Sloanie ..... There is a 2000Te ( or some similar ridiculously high pressure number ) press on the top floor for hide correction at Horween used for the embossing of steerhide and horsehide for a variety of applications ( particularly American footballs) .... equally on the 2nd...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    Perhaps a mistake Superfluous, and if so I apologise .... it's very difficult to identify those with a bias and those not ... without the clarity of openness. There are some which are openly gushing ( like Sloanie) who has written numerous articles related directly or indirectly to Aero and Ken...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    Thanks WDW .. No baiting intended, I just think biases should be open, as oftentimes they actually hinder rather than help discussion and if the bias is known then it helps individuals balance opinions rather than assuming that all opinions are independent. ... Oh and thanks for the one star...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    It seems to be an open secret , or even a secret society ( with top secret communication, pre-warnings about dealing with certain individuals etc. etc. ) .... And those who are tend to post their affiliation openly ( Sloanie, HD, WDW etc. etc. ) In the interests of fair and reasoned...

    FS: Aero Highwayman, brown FQHH brown leather, 42

    Hey guppy ... There looks to be something messed up in your pit-pit measurement as a 21" chest measurement puts this jacket as a 38" at best ? On a std 42" highwayman the pit-pit is about 24" ( I just measured mine ) All other measurements are there or there abouts ( shoulder -shoulder is 19"...

    Christmas Jackets?

    Only trimmer fitting ( my Highwayman is a 40" but my Roadster is a 42" .... both identical in measurements) with a bit more choice in customisation :)

    Aero oil pull

    I've had 2 or three in this type of leather ( an Indy and a highwayman from Aero and a drifter from Alexanders) all three I darkened with renapur with no ill effects and the resultant finish was really durable and highly resistant to wetting and staining. Overall it's much closer to unbuckle...
