    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    The Grizzly feels nice to wear. Well balanced with the weight of the FQHH carried over the shoulders and arms. The mouton give a light feeling around the body and very tacltile to touch and quite warm. It is a short jacket so one has to be comfortable with the style and look. Is suitable for a...

    That's makes sense, he probably had little to lose. But in the long run if he admitted at least making mistakes it would be more helpful for him. Would find it hard to regain trust if he tries to come back to the business.

    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    I am a big fan of the Aero Grizzly. My first Aero jacket. IMO the best interpretation and wearable style of the Grizzly available. The Japanese versions are mostly too fashion jacket looking or overly expensive. The Lost Worlds and Himel Bros too hard core. The AL lacks balance of proportions...

    Thanks, defiant and unrepentant to the end it appears.

    A-2 colors

    Something ingrained in me by my parents who thought wearing black looked too fascist and bad luck. Several of my relatives were fascists including my grandfather and they met brutal ends. A personal thing and nothing against anyone wearing black or dislike of the colour. Just makes me feel...

    A-2 colors

    I can agree with that, my Dubow A2 is dreadful quality but has time honoured pedigree and age. They were there and repro's were not. Repro's have to value add to compensate. Personally I am not a fan of black. All my jackets are browns of sorts. Black jackets look good but I am superstitious...

    At sentencing did WL have anything to say? Did he still maintain innocence or offer an apology? Or was he just led away?

    For Sale - Aero 1920s Work Coat, 40", Cordovan

    Paying by PayPal as a gift is not a good idea especially for expensive items. Buyer loses all PayPal protection in case something goes wrong. I know well, I learned the hard way. Better to pay an extra 4% to cover PayPal fees for Goods & Services instead. You can't complain to PayPal if you...

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    Very funny, if that happened to some of my relatives, the shop would be in danger of burning down.

    I did see Paddy's post and it was truly bizarre and very un moderator like.

    This is like draining the Thames River and picking through the mud. So much lies under there.

    Is he the guy who was trashing Aero recently and at the same time bought an AL bat wing grizzly and gloating about it?

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    The jacket scammers. seem to target different demographics. The scammers are not gypsies or usual tourist trap types. I got accosted in a boring middle class suburb where nothing much happens. They target locals in their home environment and not naive tourists. A reason why I might have been...

    His wife's pay was made up for in other ways and she didn't have to work. I wonder if she received a severance package?

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    Well this guy only got me to touch the bottom corner of the jacket without taking the whole jacket out of the cellophane wrapping. He was moving and grabbing different jackets real fast along with fast talking to keep me distracted from giving them a thorough examination. He also had some suede...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    If as suggested WL was planning to poach the staff for AL then a petition would have been another manipulative tactic to help compromise the staff and back them into a corner. If your boss puts a petition in front of you, it would be hard to resist. No one wants trouble with the boss if they...

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    Yes, I googled similar tactics Trying to make one feel obligated for accepting such valuable merchandise. They have a very well practised pitch and have several different approaches.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I recall past threads where AL apologists were painting KC as some sort of obsessed control freak ogre who ran a sweatshop like business and that he drove the staff away. Have said this before but the opposite appears to be true. He had an almost complete hands off approach after he retired and...
