    Breaking in an FQHH jacket

    What's the difference between brown FQHH and "vintage" brown FQHH? Would it make any difference how long it takes to break a jacket in?

    New Aero Highwayman arrived

    I noticed that Fayed's "Byrd" jacket has what appears to be an Alpaca lining. His comments about being comfortable in the Arizona (?) desert were interesting. Mark Moye told me that the wear against the FQHH should be considered when ordering a lining. Still, I REALLY like the looks of your...

    Admiral Byrd from Aero

    This Lounge is killing me. Now I am starting to have secong thoughts about ordering a Long Half-Belt. The Byrd jacket is "dressier" but still extremely rugged looking. And I am NOT going to order both.

    New Aero Highwayman arrived

    BTW - I really like the lining you selected. I keep going back and forth on what to order for a lining. I want something practical so I can wear the jacket 3-full seasons/year. I am concerned the Alpaca will be too warm and I can always throw a sweater on under the coat if I need additional...

    Breaking in an FQHH jacket

    How about throwing a new jacket in the dryer (with the heat off) with some dry towels? Not quite as much fun as unleashing the kids but it might be a good way to do it. Regarding your jacket. I covet an Aero Half-Belt more and more every day, however every day I hear/see things Loungers...

    New Aero Highwayman arrived

    Wow. I have not even ordered my jacket, but I can't wait to get one. Thinking about how to loosen up new heavy leather jackets, how would zipping up the zippers and putting the jacket in the dryer (WITH THE HEAT OFF) along with some dry towles? Also, why did you work directlywith Aero in the...

    What color hat for navy top coat?

    Just put the winter coat (Burbury Navy Wool) in storage for the summer then I started to wonder what the appropriate color hat to wear with a navy topcoat. I have been wearing my dark brown Como, tying it in to the navy coat with a brown and navy scarf. Suggestions?

    GREAT AERO half belt thread.

    What's the most versatile lining for a Half-belt (long)? I would like my jacket to be a true 3-season jacket.

    Leather jackets?

    Reading back over my original post I realize that I did not phrase it very well. I certainly did not mean to imply that Aero jackets look cheap (although I admit that is sounds like it from my post). What I was really getting at is that I don't want a jacket that looks like a department store...

    Aero russet colour

    Thanks, Jan. So, basically it looks like the leather on the old fleese lined bomber jackets? Almost a deep chocolet brown? Mark Moye characterized it as "redish brown, almost a brick color." Seems to me that would be on the lighter side. I did send Amanda an e-mail requesting a sample. (I...

    Aero russet colour

    Thanks, Daniel. It is really hard to tell from the photos. I am not going to order anything until I nail down exactly what I want but could you post photos of your California? And when you get your HB post photos of that? How long ago did you order your HB? Thanks

    Aero russet colour

    Anyone own a Long Half-belt in the russet buffalo? I can't tell from the pictures how light/dark it is. Thanks

    Leather jackets?

    For years I have wanted the perfect leather jacket. Not too short, but not too long. I have also like jackets that have a belt across the back and are adjustable. Pretty much exactly what Areo offers in their Long Half-belt. However, what I don't want is a jacket that looks cheap because the...

    How will the Campdraft (Tawny Fawn) be to wear in the summer?

    Anyone make repro civilian leather jackets with back belts w/ 1 or 2 vents?

    How about a shot of the front of the jacket? Thanks

    Calling all Aero Bootleggers, 1930s slim halfbelts, and Herculeses...

    I can already see how hanging around this forum is going to get expensive. Couple of questions: once you settle on a size and configuration, how long does it take Aero to deliver the jacket to the states? Also, can anyone give me a rough conversion of pounds to dollars? Cheers

    WTB: Flasks (Hunting/Fishing theme)

    Ah, Skeet, thanks for asking the key question. I am looking for liquor flasks, not flasks to keep my powder dry. (My powder it already too dry, hence the occasional need for liquor). Thanks, JDG

    Khakis - which ones?

    I have purchased several pair of these Khakis and I really like the look and fit (although the damn buttons are often lose). They look and feel EXACTLY like the khakis my dad brought home after WWII. I also have a couple of pairs of Bills and I'd take the Orvis (at half the price) any day over...
