Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
Cheers everybody. Wish I could wear it more often, but it is too warm already, just walked home from a bar in a linen shirt at 2.30am... The centre seam allows for a slimmer fit I believe. Even though I like it slim, I decided to have a one-piece back. Thought it might be more durable...- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
My Board Racer jacket arrived on Monday. I've worn it a few times since then. The weather is already warm and sunny here in the South of England. In the evening it's still a bit chilly – good to wear this with a t-shirt. Here are a few snapshots. Fit-pics will follow as soon as possible.- Bullitt

Now, my Board racer jacket is ready and will be shipped. When it arrives I will post photos. It took a little bit longer, because I made some changes to my order in late January and early February. I am am not in a hurry though.- Bullitt

Aero labels
That‘s good to know. I took these pictures towards the end of my visit and didn't ask questions about the labels.- Bullitt

Not yet, but almost there. Still have to let them know about the lining. Originally I had planned cotton drill, but there are so many great tartans... Will visit the Lochcarron website again tomorrow. Then I will wait for my jacket.- Bullitt

RRL halfbelt: pictured (a terrible ripoff?)
It is all relative. For some people this is not a lot of money, especially in London or New York or any other capital where RRL products are sold. I wouldn’t buy it. I visited the Aero factory two weeks ago and ordered a jacket there.- Bullitt

RRL halfbelt: pictured (a terrible ripoff?)
Saw this jacket at Liberty’s. The quality is good, however I would be able to buy a similar jacket for a lower price. During the sales I would consider it. The benefit of a brand like RRL is that it is readily available in many shops. You see it, you try it on, you like it, you buy it and wear...- Bullitt

Aero labels
When I saw Sloan1874's great Board Racer jacket with the unusual Rock 'n' Roll label, I decided to ask about »label-options« when I visited the Aero factory. Yes, there are many labels to choose from. Great to see them all. I took a few photos and with Aero’s permission I am posting the images...- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
My trip to Galashiels was rather enjoyable. At the Aero factory, everybody was friendly and I could sense the passion they put into their work. Denny took the time to help me plan my Board Racer jacket. First I put on a few fit-jackets and to my surprise, size 42 seemed to fit me well; that’s...- Bullitt

Thanks for the tip, @Fanch, you are right. I will try on stock jackets as well. Dangerous... Can anybody recommend good pubs and bars in Edinburgh?- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
Next week I shall visit the Aero workshop. Being a member of this board, reading about different tastes and looking at photos of great jackets has been good fun and important to get a better idea about what I like. Cheers! Here is what I plan to order: 1. Jacket: Board Racer. 2. Leather...- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
@Smithy: I agree with you. It‘s the same with denim, the models that are designed to age quickly and the pre-distressed jeans are not for me. When I buy a jacket, a pair of jeans or shoes, I want it to last as long as possible and slowly develop »patina«, which is a sign of good quality. The...- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
Yes it is and it's a beautiful jacket. How did you learn about this unusual label; did you visit the factory? Cheers! I prefer the board racer collar. A bit looser, while still relatively slim would be perfect. I would like to wear t-shirts or light pullovers underneath. Thanks! It is my plan...- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
Thanks for all your replies. When I wrote down the list, I already had an idea about some details, but about other options I am still deciding. Here is what I would like my Board Racer jacket to be like: I will wear the jacket in spring and autumn in the UK. 1. Leather: Either FQHH or Italian...- Bullitt

Before getting an Aero Board Racer - things to consider.
I’m planning to have my first Aero jacket made, a Board Racer. Looking at this forum’s posts has been quite helpful so far. I have compiled a list of things to remember and decisions to make before ordering the jacket. Did I forget anything? I’d appreciate your feedback; feel free to add to the...- Bullitt

New Alexander Leather Roadster too tight?
What a warm welcome at the Fedora Lounge. Thanks to everybody who took the time to give me feedback. @breton Yes the sleeves could be a bit longer but it’s not bothering me. @StandBy There is plenty of room in the belly area, which I don’t plan to fill in the next 50 years… :) "if in doubt...- Bullitt

New Alexander Leather Roadster too tight?
Yesterday I received an Alexander Leather Roadster in black goatskin. So far I like the leather and the quality of the jacket. It is an old label jacket and the price was very attractive. Unfortunately I am not quite sure if this is a good fit and I might return the jacket. I chose my regular...- Bullitt
