    Aero Leather D1

    Great jacket Insmnia. How do you find the thermal qualities and the hide in general? I have a B6 in the same sheepskin on order with Aero and I'm hoping it's not too toasty for the average 10 degree temps of the Australian winter. Garry

    My new AERO B-6 Shearling Flight Jacket

    Sorry for digging up an old thread but ig Gancho is still around, can I ask the length of your B6 as it's the perfect length in my opinion. I have one in redskin on order and I've requested a 28 inch back length (I'm 6'3) and am hoping its a similar fit to yours. Regards Garry

    Aero B6 and D1 standard sizes.

    Hello all, having recently bought a 1970 MGB roadster, I now have the justification to buy a sheepskin of some sort for those winter drives. I'm 6'3 and generally wear a size 44 or 46 jacket and i'm wondering the what the standard Aero lengths are for B6 and D1 jackets in those sizes. Being...

    New Aero A-2 42-18775-P

    That's a belter of a jacket Crocker! Can I ask what chest size you are? I'm generally a 44 chest but have sized up in my order (the one I ranted about earlier.....!). Being tall with quite a long jacket, do you find it bags up a little with the waist knits? Garry

    Aero Wait times.

    Hi All, Anyone else found that their wait time for an order has blown out? I ordered a 42-18772P A2 in Seal Vincenza two months ago and was advised a wait time of 6-8 weeks which is what I expected and was happy with. I then emailed them about a month ago to see if we were looking good for...

    Pike Bros N1 Fit Question.

    Hi Peter, I used the instructions on the Barbour website which suggests just warm water. It cleaned them but not overly well. I think it may be because some of the marks are indigo dye from a pair of gustin jeans I had just bought so you might get better results if it's just day to day marks...

    Pike Bros N1 Fit Question.

    Hi Xopher. We are a similar size, I'm a 43 chest. I bought a PB N1 in large and wished I had gone a size up as its a pretty neat fitting jacket. If you are more 42 than 43 I would go large, if 43 I would be inclined to go XL. It does have a pile lining which adds to the neat feel and that will...

    Aerial Star gone?

    Back at Xmas I was trying to place an order with him and he advised his stock of hides was low and it would be around a month before he could take an order however after that date he would be ready to go as would his mythical half belt he had been working on. I left it a month and tried again...

    Visiting Aero Leathers

    Harris, Don't forget The Shore in Leith which is a 20 minute taxi from your hotel and it a great waterfront spot for cask beer (Deuchars IPA being a personal fav) and great food. Fishers on the Shore is a great wee up market but unpretentious eatery if your after Seafood although you may...

    Visiting Aero Leathers

    That's what happens when big supermarkets move into town Sir Jacket. They suck the life out of local retailers. One off shops can't competed with the buying power of the likes of Tescos. It's a story I'm sure you've heard before. It's is a beautiful area tho and Gala is still worth visiting I...

    Which Aero A2

    Hello gents, It's that time when autum/winter is on the horizon and true to form, I start thinking of the new leather that will end the search, this time it's an A2. I've been close to pulling the trigger on a Bronco in russet or seal jerky HH which I was measured for in Galashields but as per...

    Best Manly Sweater

    I can vouch for the North Sea Clothing products. I have a "Blitz Motorcycles" Service jumper and a Victory Shawl Neck. Both are well made and a great product. The Service Jumper is a seriously tight fit tho. I am a 43 inch chest and the 44 Service is skin tight but very comfortable once on...

    Cleaning a waxed Pike Bros N1

    Hi All, I bought a beige waxed N1 earlier in the year. Unfortunately the indigo dye from my jeans and general grime has gotten into to waistband area and onto the sleeve underarms where they may touch other surfaces. I've tried the cold water cleaning routine which was a bit of a fail. Does...

    Is my Aerial Star jacket too short??

    Nick, I've been in contact with Chris about making my slash pocket A2 and I mentioned the interest on here about his half belt. He had built one for a customer and is planning to start marketing it soon. He said he will forward me some photos and I will past them here with his permission. Garry
