    Need Aero Premier Highwayman customization advice

    I have both heavy and light wool in my Aeros (all FQHH) and I honestly don't find the heavy much warmer or all that difference when it comes to warmth. I do like the heavy wool's finish; it feels slightly more robust and substantial and slightly coarse. I also have cotton drill in in my Vincenza...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Can someone please advise with sizing of Lofgren Engineer boots? I wear a 8D in Alden's Barre and Tru-balance lasts. I measure out an 8.5 D on a Brannock device. I just want to make sure before I order a pair from Japan. Thanks

    FS: Redwing 9011 Beckman (Black Cherry in 9D)

    **Sold** Redwing 9011 Beckman in Black Cherry. 9D USA / 42 EUR. Excellent condition. I've worn these a little bit and there is some wear at the heals and a few minor marks near the toe. Mostly these boots just sat on my shelf for a few years as they are just too large of size for me (For...

    Aero Cafe Racer vs Board Racer Size

    Do both the CR and BR flare slightly out at the bottom of the jacket? It appears that it's most prominent when the jacket is unzipped. If so is the flare about equal on both jackets? Thanks.

    Hope our friends at Thurston and all the Firefighters are OK

    Yes, that's Intersection's front storefront window and red sign. Hope everything is OK at the shop.

    Aero Maxwell

    I've had some bleeding on a black FHH on leather car seats; my BMW has especially high bolsters and when I get in and out of the car my elbows/arms tend to rub against the grained seat leather. It's probably due to a combo of how I get out of the car/the seat bolster position, and it probably...

    Aero Highwayman / Sizing

    To achieve a slim fit downsizing a Highwayman in size and adding length to the body and sleeves is what Thurston has advised me and it came out perfect. For reference I'm 5-11, 165 pds with a 39.5 chest and I wear a size 36 Highwayman (with added body length and sleeve length). For reference I...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Thanks very much! I'm quite happy with it. The Premier slim fit version fits my body perfectly although I'm pretty narrow at 5-11, 165pds, and a 39 chest. Carrie suggested a size 40 with a little extra length in the arms. Other than the zip sleeves, the only other options on this one is an...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    I have a Premier Bootlogger with zip sleeves as well. I think it gives the style a much more motorcycle jacket vibe and it makes the sleeves very sleek and narrow. Mine is Brown FQHH (extra dark requested) with brass zippers, and weathered green lightweight wool. Carrie posted some pics of the...

    This one was just delivered to me the other day and it's wonderful! Perfect fit and stunning FQHH and liner. This is my first Strome lining and I'm happy I went with the Highland Granate Blue. Thanks Carrie.

    Aero leather water resistance

    Thanks all. I agree goat is very nice and a great choice but I already own a beautiful goatskin Star G-1 Navy that John Chapman (Goodwear) made for me. I like goat for its toughness and wearability on all weather conditions, but what draws me to horse or steer is the patina/character wear marks...

    Aero leather water resistance

    I'm about to order my next Aero jacket and I'm trying to decide which leather to choose; I currently have a dark seal Vincenza, and one in Black FQHH. Though I feel fortunate to live in Seattle (home of Thurston Bros and Goodwear) it tends to rain quite a bit here. Of the Aero leathers...

    My latest buy: Aero M422A Jacket

    P JC's Navy jackets are the best out there... I have one of his GW Star G1's. BTW- because of the complexity of the design, John spends about 3x the time to put together a Navy jacket compared to the time spent on an A2. Go with a Goodwear Navy...they are really amazing jackets.

    Good Wear vs. Aero?

    +1 yes. I feel fortunate to own both GW and Aero, as well as having Thurston Bros and Goodwear local to me. Being a Seattle resident and a Thurston/Goodwear fan has its advantages (allows me to see and inspect the jackets first hand, be on a first name basis with John, etc...) as well as a...
