    Aero Fit Pics

    Howdy Folks, I purchased an Aero recently and wanted to share with you some of my fits pics and struggles with sizing. Originally, I purchased a Sheene. Thurston Bros. sent me a size 40 Sheene fit jacket. And as you can see in the photos below, I wasn't able to raise my arms without some...

    Aero jacket contrasting stitching question

    Thanks for all your feedback everyone. I've decided to go with black this time around. From what I've witnessed on this forum, it's impossible to own only one Aero, and I'll probably be planning for another in a couple seasons, and I'll probably go with an OD stitch then. BTW, do any of you...

    Golden Era movie recommendations?
