    The First Step BEFORE Buying Another Leather Jacket - Good Luck!

    DonW - Sounds like you snagged a real bargain, £255 is a great price! You will love Aero's heavy horse, the patina it develops is special - easily there best hide IMO. Don't forget to post some pics when it arrives. Cheers

    The Customer Isn't Always Right...

    milan - we really need to see some pics of your jacket. Can you find someone with a camera and a Photobucket account?

    Help Dating a Peacoat Given a Contract Number

    Mr Peacoat would give the definitive answer, but I'll take a guess that the number -63-C on your tag indicates 1963.

    Are the new jacket prices changing your buying habits?

    "Are the new jacket prices changing your buying habits?" Have to say yes - I find myself searching more and more for used and vintage leathers. New jackets are now serious money!

    My HWM is on his way !!!

    I am 40" chest and my Highwayman is a standard 40". When it was new out the box I thought it was too big, but after the break in it drapes and creases and softens. It is now a perfect fit with a sweater. As you might want to wear your jacket in the cooler weather (heavy horse is not good in...

    I'm sure i'll live to regret this!

    mojoe - First, you can't tell us about a new Aero without posting some pics - it's the law :-) Second - if you think this will be your only Aero, you are sadly mistaken! Enjoy your first! Cheers

    Would love to see some pics dr greg - I'm a big fan of half belts.

    Great pics of leather jackets

    The Nikon Coolpix is a nice little camera and should be fine for Internet quality images. As mentioned, natural light is the key so take the jackets outside an suppress the flash on the camera. Light cloud will give a more even light or find a place out of the direct sun. For a close up of...

    Does Dry Cleaning Remove Mold Spores from Vintage Clothes?

    My vintage horsehide half-belt has a distinct musty smell about it but I can't see any evidence of mold on the outside. What would be the best treatment for this? Would dry cleaning be out of the question?

    50,s Half Belts, new Aero and original:

    Two great looking half belts. I prefer the lower belt on the Aero but there is something special about a vintage jacket - just the history of it. I would wear them both. Oh, great fit too. Thanks for sharing.

    Pea coat opinion

    Agree with Davy, it's only really an issue if you are a collector - it also might affect the resale value a little bit if you want to move it on at some stage. If you look at the photos on Vintage Trends, most coats have a picture of the label next to the coat. There are some that don't...
