    Zara B6 Clone - £89.99

    Haha, too true GHT! Whilst I do love my uber expensive leather jackets, I do unfortunately have to wear "normal" clothes from high street brands most of the time. Maybe one day my entire wardrobe will be handmade, but until then I will have to make do. I've gone ahead and ordered it...let's...

    Zara B6 Clone - £89.99

    I know that discussion of faux leather jackets is blasphemy around here, but I thought it was interesting that Zara has produced what looks to be a very close copy of the B6 in their latest collection. I know it's not 100% accurate, but I've never seen a high street company produce a jacket that...

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    I think I have come to this realisation...my 15142 A2 by Aero is superbly constructed of amazing jerky HH leather, but has just not moulded to my body shape as I had hoped. It's just not the right shape for me...I needed a jacket with a slightly longer body, much slimmer sleeves and broader...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    I've got a B6 on order from Aero at the moment...not sure when it's going to arrive, but when it does I'll post pics :)

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Got an Aero B6 on the way...ordered about 3 weeks ago now, so not sure when to expect it. I think a lot of people must have ordered during the August price freeze, so it might still be some way off. I got made redundant a few weeks ago - luckily I do have the money saved up to pay for the...

    Aero Price Freeze till 31st Aug

    No worries at all Holly! Police/insurance business absolutely comes first. I think I've finally settled on choosing a B6 so I look forward to placing my order later this week! Best, Dominic

    That looks absolutely fantastic! Love the colour scheme...

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Thank you! Wish I could get a fit jacket, but living in the UK means I can't get access to that service. I'm actually really annoyed that I just came back from my holidays in Northumberland - about an hours drive from Aero in Galashiels - but I just never got the opportunity to go. Would have...

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Thanks again, powersci! Sounds like the difference isn't that huge...I'm now left wondering whether to go for a 44 D1 or a 46 B6. Since I'm inbetween a 44 and 46, I'm wondering if the D1 won't be so baggy after all - might actually be quite a neat fit... Finally - I promise there won't be any...

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Thanks so much, your jackets both look superb! I am now torn between the B6 and D1...more than I thought I would be! The D1 doesn't look as boxy as I assumed it would compared to the B6, even in a bigger size. Do you find the D1 has much baggier, roomier sleeves than the B6? I also like the...

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Garry, thanks so much for getting those measurements. I think that should fit me really well, especially considering those pit to pit measurements will take into account the thickness of the sheepskin. Out of interest, has anyone tried a D1? In terms of fit, how does it differ? I believe it's...

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Hi Garry, many thanks for that! Your jacket looks absolutely superb! Maybe a 46 is the right choice after all! What is the pit to pit and waist measurement of your jacket? I too am around your height and was wondering what sleeve length you went for? Do the sleeves tend to crease and shorten...

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Hi there, any chance of photos on how it fits you? Slightly concerned now that maybe a 46 would be too big. I really want a trim fit so seeing how it looks on you would be a big help!

    Aero B6 Jacket - A few questions

    Hi all, So the bug has caught on - I'm ordering a sheepskin jacket for the winter to beat the price rise at Aero! Dear god, what am I doing... :D I'm 99% settled on the B6 but have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help with first: - I was wondering if anybody knew historically...

    Aero Price Freeze till 31st Aug

    I was originally told that my A-2 would take around 8 weeks to arrive, but in reality it arrived in about 1 month. I guess they use quite conservative estimates when quoting delivery times?

    SB ANJ-4 Style Jacket

    I think that's awesome. Love the dark shearling, the whole colour scheme is beautiful. Sometime it's nice to throw historical accuracy out of the window and wear something just because it looks cool!

    My First Aero - A-2 15142 'Real Deal'

    Thank you all for your kind words! I'm enjoying the jacket and wearing it as much as I can. It's already beginning to mould to my shape a little more - it's remarkable how the places where the jacket was a little tight have now loosened up, and the places where it was slightly baggy initially...

    My First Aero - A-2 15142 'Real Deal'

    It's too late...I'm afraid the addiction has already begun! :D

    My First Aero - A-2 15142 'Real Deal'

    Thanks! Yes, it's Seal Jerky horsehide - gorgeous leather. Much more brown in real life than it appears in the photos too.

    My First Aero - A-2 15142 'Real Deal'

    Hi all, Thought I would share some pictures of my new Aero A-2 jacket. It's the first 'proper' leather jacket I've owned, and the first I have purchased from Aero. The process was excellent and much quicker than expected - I got my jacket in about 5 weeks! I am very pleased with the resulting...
