    A2 Advice

    After looking at the jackets, I'm thinking of John's Aero design- the Acme 18775. I really like the look of the OD green thread and Aero red knits. What do you guys think?

    A2 Advice

    I'm already in line at Goodwear. Originally, I was going to go with the Buco J-100 repro, but my wife said I have too many motorcycle jackets!

    A2 Advice

    I'm interested in an A2, but to my untrained eye, they all seem to be the same :D I asked John at Goodwear for a suggestion for a A2. In terms of size, I'm 5'10, 160 lbs and I would like a trim fitting jacket. John suggested the Dubow, Werber, Perry, or Aero. For you A2 experts out there...

    UPDATE: New Aero "Stuart" from Insurrection Vintage: NOW FOR SALE in classified

    If you look at the pics of my Langlitz, the sleeves look exactly the same as yours http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?46442-Langlitz-Cascade&highlight=langlitz Someone mentioned that the sleeves looked too short, but the sleeves when pulled down, came to my knuckles. It's just the...

    Aero & Lostworlds Horse Hides

    Just throwing in my .02 ;) I had avoided the FQHH from Aero because of reading comments on how hard and stiff it is. People writing how they had developed bruises from wearing their jackets kind of scared me off! As I stated on another thread, I saw a halfbelt in FQHH and decided to pull...

    Need opinions on fit of Aero Cafe Racer Jacket

    Hector, I've had an Aero that needed alterations and it was kind of a pain. No charge for the alteration, but shipping and (accidental) duty charges. My alterations turned out OK, but not perfect. I think it's hard to communicate exactly what's wrong in pictures and words- you really need to...

    Need opinions on fit of Aero Cafe Racer Jacket

    Like Jan said, hold off on the shower until you break it in more! As you break it in more, the sleeves will shorten up. Yeah, looking at the pics, they probably won't take it back ;) Looks like you did beat on it a bit! Goodwear leather has a sweet looking J-100 repro. I believe the back...

    Need opinions on fit of Aero Cafe Racer Jacket

    I think the length looks spot on. I would be very wary of taking it to any tailor who isn't well versed in the style of the jacket. If you have anyone work on the jacket, let Insurrection do it. Carrie (one of the owners) makes her own line of jackets and would be the one to talk to. If you...

    Please critique my Aero Long Halfbelt order!

    I agree with Doublegun, 3 pockets is overkill. You don't think that adding a pocket is going to do anything to the drape or weight, but each pocket affects it. I would go with one vertical or one map pocket. Also, pass on the Alpaca under gabardine. It's just going to make it bulkier. I have...

    1930's Aero Slim Halfbelt from Insurrection

    I remember reading that the button cuffs can be tight. However, these cuffs are pretty loose and there is no problem slipping your hand through or wearing a big watch. They are not so big that the sleeves pull past your hands. The actual sleeve length goes to my knuckles. I suspect that the...

    1930's Aero Slim Halfbelt from Insurrection

    Thanks for all the comments guys! I think Edward is right concerning the jacket sizing. It really depends on your body shape on how the halfbelt is going to fit. I'm 5'10", 160 lbs, 40" chest, and 32" waist. If I had 3 more inches in the waist, I probably would have went for the 40, because...

    1930's Aero Slim Halfbelt from Insurrection

    You mean downsize, right? I normally wear a 40. Pit to pit 22", sleeve 25.5", back length 24"

    1930's Aero Slim Halfbelt from Insurrection

    So, I've been thinking of a halfbelt for awhile, but I didn't know if I could do another 8 month wait. Also, I have two Aeros and I was pretty happy with the finished product, but I never really felt that they were quite right. My Cheyenne had to be sent back because it fit like a bag. The final...

    aero goathide lengths

    When I asked for my Cheyenne to be goat, Amanda told me that they didn't have a hide long enough. The best thing to do is just email Amanda and ask her.

    AeroUSA: Put down $200, pay the balance later!

    I've ordered from Mark before and from Aero directly. Never had a problem with either. The one downside with ordering directly from Aero is that when I had a problem with my jacket, I had to pay for the return (50 bucks), plus UPS dinged me twice for customs (50 bucks each time). They should...

    Aero B3/B6/Customization Options

    Wow, I wouldn't think that you could wear a B3/B6 in southern Cal. I wear my B6 a handful of times in Seattle, but mostly I wear it if I travel to somewhere really cold. The B6 is super warm, the B3 even warmer. The modern equivalent would be a heavy down parka. Do you ever wear a jacket like...
