I have a Beautiful Long HB from Aero in Seal Goat. Lightweight, hard wearing and very water resistant.
Great figure on the leather and with cotton drill lining it can be worn in so many climates.
My old Steerhide HB was relined 3 times because my 1911 kept wearing holes in the lining.
Eventually I asked Aero to put a steer hide strip across the bottom to take the wear. The jacket never sagged and continued on for almost 20 more years like this.
I would definitely recommend a leather...
I love traditional American pattern knives.
Brett Dowell made me this double bladed slip joint beauty. Carbon Fibre covers, orange G10 liners and CPM154 blades.
Interesting that they agreed to a full refund of the August jacket but held the deposit of the other. Did you have some special order or customising on the September order?
Maybe you could post your e-mail exchange with them?
Well done! You have just added years and quality to your life.
4 years ago I went full Keto. I lost 30Kgs and had to sell all my jackets! I was sorry to see them go but it's been fun replacing them. It was a bit scary to see jackets that were tight on me now looking like tents.
Keep at...
I have owned two Barnstormers, one in FQHH and one in CXL. Although they were both great pieces of clothing they were impractical and just not warm enough for very inclement weather.
I wore my FQHH Barnstormer with Alpaca lining to New York City one January and I was just not warm enough in it...
I was in the UK 6 weeks ago. I took the Caledonian Sleeper up to Edinburgh. Absolutely beautiful city and only an hours drive from Aero. There is a train that goes from Edinburgh station to Galashiels.
Have fun!
Excellent gents, thank you so much! I will definitely check out the Seal Jerky HH.:)
Brilliant advice thank you. Opinions from someone who has already been down this road are so valuable.
Although I have not owned dozens of jackets I have had Aero CXL FQHH, and CXL Steer, both of which are...
Thanks for the compliment and great advice. Year 3 of Keto and I am almost 60lbs down! Time for a new jacket.:)
What is your opinion on Rayon Quilting? I like the look. Cape town has cool blustery weather in winter and Johannesburg is cold in the morning and evening. I just hate to have...
Excellent advice, I will definitely follow your recommendation about the inner pocket.
I actually have a '50s HB and I have been yearning for something a little longer which is why I went for the LHB. But I will look at both at the factory. Cheers mate.:)
Thanks for your sage advice...
Great pair.
Amazing when you think that the two guns were designed within the same generation yet today the broom handle is an antique consigned to history.
Conversely the 1911 just keeps on going, refreshed and reimagined for the future.
What a testament to John Moses Browning.
Enjoy!:)
Greetings and salutations on this Easter weekend.
I am headed to the UK and Galashiels in a few weeks to order a new Jacket. I have lost so much weight in the past 3 years that my previous two Aero's no longer fit me and I really miss them.
Having owned a few Aero's in the past my experience...
