    Aero B-15

    I know that more than once I had emailed Amanda and after no response emailed her again only to find that for some reason she had never received my initial email. As far as B-15's I have one from Alpha that I use as a packable winter coat when I fly up north in small planes. It has been...

    Wow quick jacket production by Aero!

    It took us 8 weeks to iron out the details and they told me that it would take 4 -5 weeks but then they told me last week that they were charging my card as they were going to making my jacket this week. I was pretty shocked to get the email. I wasnt sure if they were slow or perhaps Will was...

    Wow quick jacket production by Aero!

    I placed an order on 10/25 for a highly customized B3 and I got an email notice today stating that it had shipped. I was expecting a month or more for production. I cant wait to see what they came up with...I sure hope it fits right (it better with all the measurements I gave them).

    Squadron Patches

    IMO putting on any markings for real military units you were not part of is just plain disrespectful to the point of being insulting to those who served. If you didnt serve, dont fake it, you need to earn the right to be able to wear those markings. If you must put something on a jacket...

    Placed an Aero order

    I just finished ordering a very customized B-3 / ANJ-4 combination jacket from Aero. Hopefully I will get it by xmas. It will be interesting to see what Aero comes up with. I too cannot wait to open that package and smell that leather!

    Time for an A2 - Help me Guys !

    Aero will let you customize just about anything on your jacket., I found ELC to be much more interested in sticking to the authentic designs when I spoke to them about a highly customized jacket. So, if customization is of importance then I think Aero wins hands down...otherwise I cant help...

    WPG B-3 jacket question

    Just out of curiosity, what made you choose Aero over ELC? I like the Aero B3 better for several reasons...but I find I'm one of the very few that prefer Aero to ELC.

    Exchange Rate?

    The charge came through 500 GBP = $798.41 USD I was pleasantly surprised. Not the lowest its been lately, but certainly not bad.

    Exchange Rate?

    I just got word that Aero charged my card today, but I dont see the charge online yet, so Im not sure how much it cost in USD.

    In search of a newsboy / 8 panel cap with a younger look

    Brett emailed me today and let me know that the shirt material will work as a hat. I cant wait to see what he comes up with :)

    In search of a newsboy / 8 panel cap with a younger look

    Some photos of the shirt Here is a close-up of the label of the shirt, I would love if this could be put in the liner somehow, but I doubt it is possible (the color looks darker in person): This is exactly the color of the shirt in person: Here are two photos of the whole shirt...

    In search of a newsboy / 8 panel cap with a younger look

    I talked to Brett at B!wear and he is having me send him the shirt. The shirt is a nice velvet blue flannel color that was handed down to me by my father, but no longer fits. Its a perfect color and Im asking Brett if he could incorporate some of the stitching of the shirt into the hat (its a...

    In search of a newsboy / 8 panel cap with a younger look

    It came to me in the middle of the night. I think what I want to do, if it can be done is to turn and old heavy flannel shirt into a newsboy. The shirt has a lot of meaning to me, I love the material, and being a men's L/XL it doesnt fit anymore. I'll have to see if its enough fabric and...

    Thanks for the info and photos MK. Do the B!wear hats have snaps or not? They look very comfortable.

    In search of a newsboy / 8 panel cap with a younger look

    Here are the caps I have seen online that are of interest, I would appreciate your opinion of comfort, style, and quality if possible. New York Hat Co. - Distressed leather - I like this one, but I dont know anything about the company New Era EK - Plaid - I like this one a lot, but I...

    In search of a newsboy / 8 panel cap with a younger look

    I love hats, but have tried on pretty much every style and fit of hat and I simply do not look good at all in hats other than baseball caps (of which I have at least 40) or a russian trooper hat. However, I would like a hat that is more grown up than a baseball hat a d not as warm as a russian...

    Do I need to put any protectant on a new aero B3, or should I just wear it as is?

    I will post photos when I get it (I just finally placed the order last week after over 40 emails back and forth with Aero. I cant promise you will like it though...its basically an ANJ-4 & B3 hybrid with a lot of horsehide overlays and a much larger collar and windflap than usual.

    Do I need to put any protectant on a new aero B3, or should I just wear it as is?

    Do I need to use some sort of treatment or protectant on a new aero b3 before I subject it to the rain, sleet, snow, etc? I plan to use this jacket as daily winter wear, so it certainly will not be a closet queen by any means. I want it to last for many years to come...anything I need to...
