    Aero Battered Tan Horsehide

    I really love the character of this hide. It is a little light in colour for my liking, but I can certainly appreciate it for what it is.

    Dry cleaning jackets - yes or no?

    I'm curious, has anyone had experience with having jackets dry-cleaned? Are there any strong cases for or against, out there? Contrary to a lot of people's beliefs, dry cleaning is still a wet process. I guess I'm looking for guidance as to whether or not wavy zips, shrinkage, damage to the...

    Question regarding custom order

    It really depends on a number of things. If the maker is first class, they will know what they're doing and would be unlikely to offer a solution which would put a sub-standard product into a new customers hands. If for instance, it was a side panel which simply needed a little more width, I...

    Aero 20-something year old Zip Sleeve Highwayman

    Well, most of you probably saw my recent post about being excited to receive a 25 yo Highwayman, only to have it stolen in the post. During that debacle, Denny from Aero reached out to me to see if he could help at all. Given that I was excited to receive a vintage item, he thought there could...

    Weather Proofing Goatskin

    Goat's seem to be ok on the side of hills when it rains. I can't recall reading about them shrinking or getting wrinkly, other than through old age.......

    Aero Sheene - What did you learn from your order?

    I thought Denny came on here some time ago and dispelled the myth that there was such a thing as slimmer arms (a.k.a Japanese arms)?

    Consider Teamster for my first aero, have some questions.

    Well, I happen to really like your mock-up. A very classic and neat looking jacket. I say that if Carrie / Aero say this can be done, then go for it. Remember, Aero are simply NOT going to make a jacket that will ruin the original design. It's their brand and reputation on the line & it...

    Aero Sheene - What did you learn from your order?

    Well, that's just opening a whole can of confusion right there PN! There'll be as many opinions as there are options. For what it's worth, I'd order the hand warmer pockets WITHOUT zips. They just make the pockets uncomfortable against the wrist. NO internal pocket - it shows through NO...

    Aero 25 year old Highwayman

    Thanks again for all of the support. I am happy to let this thread now close out, although I thought that I would actually upload a couple of pictures of the jacket - for my local Australian friends. If you see this jacket, or one that looks similar on any of the usual buy / sell sites in the...

    Aero 25 year old Highwayman

    Thanks one and all for the kind thoughts, it's quite cathartic actually. Let's not dwell on this negativity any longer, it's happened & gone. I'm sure karma will kick in & the thief will get what's due to them. On to the next, more positive thread.......

    Aero 25 year old Highwayman

    Well, the video clearly shows a female who I am unfamiliar with, who is not a postal worker. Hopefully that'll give the police something to work with. Evidently, unless the parcel is sent with specific instructions that ONLY the addressee can sign for it, pretty much anyone else can. All you...
