    My new Aero Horsehide A2

    Jacket is now on its way back to Scotland. Got a mail today from Denny at Aero, telling me to send it back, They would shorten the sleeves with 1,5". No costs. That's what I call service! But it got me thinking. Back in 1943 nobody complained, nobody asked for shorter sleeves, longer body or...

    My new Aero Horsehide A2

    Thanks for you kind comments, gents. (Also 'bout the garden.) I have mailed Aero and asked them what they would suggest regarding the length of the sleeves. I also think they are a tad too long. 1" - maybe even 2" - off would solve it. I think. Besides that I am really, really happy with the...

    My new Aero Horsehide A2

    It finally arrived. My long waited "Real Deal" HH A2. Now it's just a matter of giving it a lot of use and breaking it in - getting those sleeves folded.

    Two brothers - and very good friends of mine - once rented a gatekeepers house belonging to a rather large estate in the south of Zealand (South of Copenhagen) Several times - and always late at night - when they were sitting in the kitchen, their dog got up and looked straight into the wall...

    IRVIN SEASON OPEN! (Time to get it out Gents)

    Everyday it's just getting a little bit less warm up here in Scandinavia. Everyday one step closer to getting that Irvin out of the closet. I recon I'll be wearing it a month from now - and then it just goes on and on for 5 months. At least. :-)

    What Price Glory A-2 Jacket

    Bugger!!!! I think the same thing happened when they started doing "Irvins" a few of the first ones were actually rather nice - whereupon they started replacing some leather parts with plastic/artificial leather - cutting corners here and there, just in order to earn more on each jacket. Stupid...

    You and Your Leather Jacket

    Irvin owners knows what I am talking about here. Every third time we wear our jackets in public, the question pops up: - Hey Battler Britton, where did you park your Spitfire? I was meet with the same question, when I entered a bar in the city once. - I parked it just right outside! I...

    would you wear a army helmet while firing WWII - Vietnam era firearms?

    What do you wear in the bedroom? A 1700 Casanova outfit or a Batman outfit? Does it feel strange? If it doesn't, go for it.

    New Aero Irvin Pre-war - I love it!

    Just to give you an impression of how the fleece of my Aero looked, before the hot water treatment. And after: They sure have come a long way!

    New Aero Irvin Pre-war - I love it!

    Having had the pleasure of a Aero Irvin once, I can only say yours looks so much better than the one I once had. The fleece is damn nice (I had to treat mine with hot water twice to get that look) so does the fit. Using a lighter fleece makes it less bulky and much easier to wear. I realized...
