    MY new Aero Arrived

    Looks good. :eusa_clap The length looks good - I've been told that the correct fit is to have the sleeves come down to the middle of the back of your hand when your arms are by your side. James, as you look pretty slim (in the photos of your very nice Lewis jacket), you might be interested...

    Szaszi hats in Vienna - good read

    They're fantastic looking hats, but they're definitely not cheap. :( (The starting price is around 1500 euros, and goes up...)

    AB Deluxe and the Teardrop of the Crystal Skull

    A bound brim is an option on an Adventurebilt Deluxe. Marc charges 449 euros (from memory) for these. If the Euro / Dollar exchange rate is too painful for you then an alternative would be to order a hat from Steve (the standard AB), and post it up to Optimo to get the brim bound ($20).

    AB Deluxe and the Teardrop of the Crystal Skull

    I had a chat to both Steve and Marc about hats, and both were quoting an eleven month delivery time fairly recently. I don't know if the film release (out today over here in the Netherlands :D) will have an effect, but I suspect that getting an order in sooner would be beneficial...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I missed out on a Dobbs Golden Coach on Ebay yesterday: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220234156271 Someone sniped me at the last minute to win the auction. I was probably asleep at the time. :(

    Storm cuffs?

    I agree with Mr. 'H'. Nice looking jacket there, by the way. I've had storm cuffs on my previous three Aeros, and never found that they've got in the way. Number four, which should be with me next week, doesn't have them because it's a Cossack(ish) jacket, but I would have left them in if I'd...

    Dark City

    Incidentally, some of the sets built for Dark City were reused by the Matrix, though I think that this was limited to the rooftop ones.

    Getting a tailor-made suit, part 2

    In general, I've found that the tailor knows best, and will strenuously object to you doing something that he doesn't like. This happened to me when I wanted a four button jacket on my one made to measure suit. I had three of them gang up on me, and force me to lose a button, and shorten it...

    Admiral Byrd from Aero

    Custom Highwayman

    I'm a similar height to you ins0ma, and have owned a couple of Aero jackets. I've asked for 2" to be added to the body and sleeves, and it's worked out pretty well in the past. I believe that the vintage horsehides are slightly thinner and softer than the front quarter horsehide. So if you...

    WANTED: A REAL car... meaning a vintage car ;)

    The Morgan Motor company builds vintage cars with more modern mechanicals. They even built a concept with a fuel cell... http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/ There's quite a long waiting list for new cars, but they should be available secondhand. Being a vaguely modern car, I'd expect them to...

    THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Aero Stockman Review

    Sir Jacket, the Highwayman and standard Halfbelt look pretty similar from a styling point of view on Mark Moye's website, so there's not much to choose from there. I believe that the Highwayman is a looser and squarer cut, whereas the Halfbelt is more closely fitted and a bit longer...

    THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Aero Stockman Review

    Looks good Bob, and will look even better with a bit of wear on it. Rufus, I've just ordered a jacket in cordovan, and now you're making me get cold feet. :)

    Quality of manufacture for leather coats?

    It's my job to make your life difficult! lol Aero's shearling lined Barnstormer is 530 pounds on their website: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/webapp/aeroleather/servlet/AeroViewPage?page=displayproduct&subcatid=38&prodid=704 Their website isn't the best, and it's probably worth...

    Quality of manufacture for leather coats?

    There are a few posts discussing Cirrus in this forum, and the search function will bring them up. Starting a new thread would also attract attention. You've probably already seen it, but Aero do a shearling lined version of the Barnstormer...

    Anyone own a 3/4-length FQHH

    I'm a similar size and weight, and don't find any problems wearing an FQHH jacket. Nor did I have any problems when I was quite a bit lighter. I don't think that you'll hae any problems with it Bob. The weight is distributed around your body, and you won't notice it. And if you do, there's...

    Anyone own a 3/4-length FQHH

    I've got a Hercules (see the Classifieds), which weighs in at around 4 kg. I don't have any problems with the weight of it. But then again, I do have a gym habit, which means that the jacket is now too tight for me across the chest. So now I've got to order a new one, and I've finally decided...
