    Aero lining - Tartan or Cotton Drill...?

    Nice!!! Very helpful indeed, thank you. How would you describe it, does it feel particularly robust or delicate by any chance?

    Aero lining - Tartan or Cotton Drill...?

    Thanks everyone so far. Sloan, that's the kind of thing I'm after really - real life user experiences after a few years. Holly mentioned that the Tartan might not hold up as well as the cotton drill with a heavy leather. Now let's be honest, the cotton drill is (almost) bullet proof, so that's...

    Aero lining - Tartan or Cotton Drill...?

    Hi all, I'm well down the path of creating my next jacket with Holly & the final decision is the liner. It will be a FQHH Brown hide & I am tossing up between the light weight Black Stewart Tartan or an Olive Cotton Drill lining. To be very honest, there's not much in it for my mind and I...

    Droopy shoulder/rotated sleeves

    I understand the necessity to have a form fitted suit jacket tailored like this, but is it as important with leather? I ask as I would have assumed that leather, over time, will actually 'mould' to the wearer much more so than a tailored, structured fabric jacket surely.

    Aero Horsehide Samples

    Ah, I love this place.Discussions have a way of veering off on a tangent sometimes. Although I guess technically speaking discussing various tanning methods is all ralated to the original topic ;) I'm curious though if my experience with these samples echo's others when it comes to the Tumbled...

    Aero Horsehide Samples

    Interesting question. Note, I grabbed the sample and intentionally dragged it along the brickwork to damage the top layer. In my opinion, the colour layer on the FQHH seems to be thicker & more durable. As mentioned though, this was intentional & they are ALL very sturdy pieces of horse...

    Aero Horsehide Samples

    Actually, I was wondering whether there was enough leather in a sample to make a watch strap.......:D After I've made my decision of course!

    Does washing/soaking leather jackets substantially harm them or weaken the leather?

    Well, this resurrected thread encouraged me to 'wash' my aero half belt this afternoon. Have to say that there is a little extra colour loss on the edges around the collar, but nothing too worrisome. Other than that, all is very good indeed. It even seems to have shaped better after wearing it...

    My new Aero LHB

    I assume that's a 'before' and 'after' shot? Look at the drape on the second shot, just amazing!!

    Vicenza Italian HH now available for all Aeros

    Thank you, this is what I'm particularly interested in. I read this so often here that it make me ask whether this is also a feature of the Italian hides? I'm 6'2" & almost 100kgs with an athletic(ish) frame, so wearing a solid hide won't bother me too much. The depth of colour is critical however.

    Vicenza Italian HH now available for all Aeros

    A bit like WDW above, I'm well aware of it, but just haven't paid any real close attention to it. I'm considering a jacket right now & am lening towards the FQHH in brown mainly due to the way in which everyone talks about the beautiful deep rich colour of this hide from Aero. How does the...

    Mobile version sucks

    Yes there is, but how do you set this as the default, rather than having to select it each time? I am aslo getting directed to this new version & frankly, it sucks.
