    Eastman A-2 help

    Hi Greg, First I enjoy your glider photos (ASW 19? 21? Twin Astir?). Both Aero and Eastman make great jackets, use great HH hides and provide great service and support.

    Which Aero Leather is the softest of them all?!

    My ( not Vincenza) Aero HH A-2 42- 15142-P, became butter-soft after three HWT and approx. 1 liter of Pecards vintage leather balm. In a few intensive wearing months no difference anymore with a WW2 issued Aero A-2 ...I guess...Can only recommend HWT's...
