    New Aero Highwayman

    Sit on it for a bit that'll flatten it out. I think apart from wearing them sitting on them breaks in new Aeros best.

    Darkening a leather jacket

    Don't think people from Georgia like to be thought of as Russian. They were at war with them a couple of years ago. I've used Hide Food on my jackets for decades, and used it on my leather car seats too. It was made by Connolly's who supplied Rolls Royce with leather and rejuvenated RR...

    New Aero Highwayman

    A lot of people just don't know how to measure. If you want the chest measurement then just taking that of the front panels won't help much. The jacket has to be flattened, including the side gussets and the total pit to pit measured. Nice jacket BTW.

    Aero ebay frustrations

    I used to buy a lot of cars at auctions at one time and the last cars in a batch of identical company cars being sold aways fetched the highest prices.

    Don't you hate it when they do that?

    180 odd customers it seems. Not that bad when you consider how long they've been going. I don't know if the price reduction of the sale page stuff is a good sign for them or not.

    Don't you hate it when they do that?

    Yes I got that email too. I just noticed that all those other addresses are there. Bit daft I should have thought. Is it just a mistake or did they mean to do it I wonder?

    Alexander Leathers

    I bought a jacket off their sale page a couple of months ago in black goat hide, which was very nice BTW. So as a customer I got an email today to say that they are clearing their sale jackets for £275 a pop. Don't know how many sizes they have left but they seem to have a few Nebraskas at £250...

    Is Tom Cruise finished?

    I think Alan Ladd usually stood on a box, and in one memorable scene where they couldn't do that they dug a pit for the leading lady to stand in.

    An alternate Aeromarine??

    Okay mid thirties. Not bothered about the date, I just like the look of the civilian A1 with a zip.

    A picture of Amelia Earhart wearing a zip up civilian A1 type jacket in the early thirties.

    Is Tom Cruise finished?

    Hope so. Still, he's always got the intergalactic navy.

    M422a Interior Finish

    I'm a bit surprised that Aero will modify it like this anyway. Particularly the back. I thought they wouldn't do changes like that anymore?

    Aero Highwayman Love and Loss

    I got a good price on a trade in, and they sold it for almost what I paid for it new. Why not send some pictures and ask them what they'll give you against a new one? A lot depends on the condition.

    Menlo Cossack

    I should think the Norman occupiers would have kept a very close eye on you. They'd have had you down as an insurgent in training.

    Stretching fairisle jumpers?

    I agree with the other poster and I've stretched wool jumpers like that. For a quicker fix you can wash it in cool water, then dry it between towels and place it flat and gently pull it out and weight it like that to dry. It will dry in the shape it's been stretched to.

    Vet reunited with A2 Jacket - a $17 Goodwill purchase!

    Can't help thinking that he should have given the charity shop more than $17 for it when he realised what it was. They make good use of the money they earn for good causes.

    Pegasus Luftwaffe

    I don't think anyone is saying there were no issue jackets. Quite clearly there were and I mentioned a couple. But I don't believe there were any issue jackets like these, the iconic so called Luftwaffe jackets of the early war years.

    Pegasus Luftwaffe

    I don't believe there ever were any issue jackets like this, I think pilots bought their own. They started buying French motorcycle jackets when they occupied that country, and because they bought them from different places and also had them made to order they were mostly all a bit different...

    'Angry Days' Shows An America Torn Over Entering World War II

    I believe he started to write it during the first world war but given his profession he was well aware of the themes of Nordic mythology. Which Wagner of course also drew on.
