    Show Your Patina

    There is atleast 25 years of patina on this jacket: The most extreme area is around the collar. I don´t think this jacket was ever black, but insted it was made to look like it had been black from scratch. So the collar was probably about the same color as the rest of the jacket when new.

    FYI: Eastman and Aero including undisclosed upcharge on overseas sales

    FYI: Eastman and Aero including undisclosed upcharge on overseas sales

    I know of a couple of different things I can do to avoid the 40%. All of them are grey areas. Flying back and forth will cost me about £270 so its really not an option. This 40% only happened on my last jacket that came with DHL. All my other jackets came with UPS and there were only about...

    FYI: Eastman and Aero including undisclosed upcharge on overseas sales

    Wait, so does this mean that I already buy stuff "without VAT" in the end? Menaing that if they had to change the policy to include or subtract the VAT, then my jacket will cost more since its overseas? As i said earlier, it isnt just 20 or 25% anymore for us overseas, the total package comes...

    FYI: Eastman and Aero including undisclosed upcharge on overseas sales

    The problem is that by law a company have to tell us what the price is and what the VAT is. They also kinda have to deduct the VAT if a customer have to pay it in their country. Offcourse a company can refuse to sell you an item if you are "bothersome". I dont have any problem at all with Aero...

    FYI: Eastman and Aero including undisclosed upcharge on overseas sales

    As a customer of 4 jackets this has become a problem for me. All serious companies do reduce the VAT if you ask them because we in the Nordic countris pay 25% on everything we buy from outside the country. On top of that there is fees and stuff and this has escalated lately. On my latest...

    Product advice for a new Aero HH jacket

    If strangers advice doesnt wage so heavily, then take the makers word for it: From Aeros homepage: Treating The Leather This is even easier. Do nothing, absolutely nothing. Do not oil it, don't treat it with hide food - even ours, this is for old steerhide jackets and dried up old vintage...

    The price of leather jackets

    Someone said that the average US wage is now $63000. If the average is calculated between all from junkie on the corner to bill gates then its not an accurate number, but since noone complained I took it as a genuine number. In the "north" a normal working mans wage is about $52000. Almost...

    The price of leather jackets

    I think comparing prices is tricky. A top-of-the-line computer cost the same today as it did 20 years ago, but much is different inside, it is better components, but we demand (and use more complex OS´es) better aswell. That amount of money was worth more 20 years ago, but we also make more...

    New 30´s jacket

    I have handwarmer pockets on the Highwayman and only use them when its cold - wich is when I use the Highwayman, and I agree that its very very nice to put the hands into the moleskin lined pockets. Since this is a "summer" jacket i went for no handwarmer pockets, inspired by my CaferRacer since...

    New 30´s jacket

    I am happy about the length now. It works. And it makes the jacket less warm wich fits how Im using it.

    New 30´s jacket

    I also want to add some closeups of the leather. For a medium weight leather, this is absolutely amazing. Its light in weight so I can use the jacket in the summer, but it also have kindof an oily feel to it. The color is very rich and interesting but what is truly amazing is how it ages. This...
