    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    If one chooses to associate with pigs, they have to put up with the smell. IH has not been forthcoming in presenting their side of the story as yet.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    It is very easy for staff to have misplaced loyalties to corrupt bosses who manipulate them. I can recall a situation when I was a union rep. There was a hospital facility manager who was stealing and scamming everthing he could. He corrupted many staff including even senior depatmental...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Although perhaps stating the obvious. How long does it take to set up a factory? Many months for sure. Perhaps at least six. A factory has to be found. Machinery bought. Suppliers engaged and stocked with materials and many other time consuming details. It appears that when all this blew up, AL...

    Possibly because he was a hearsay witness or with no link to the specific crimes that WL was actually charged with. All sorts of damning things come out in court.

    One wonders why so many staff went with WL. No doubt many were cultivated, misled and corrupted.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Never around when this first blew up. And I read talk that KC was some sort of overbearing control freak and that's why everyone left. Looks like the opposite. He had too much trust and left total control to someone who has zero integrity. I am now convinced that a lot of disinformation may have...

    This is all sounding out like some mafia style hijack.

    Is This a Real Trolley Type?

    Here in Melbourne, Australia we still have a complete mature tram system and the largest in the world. No co-incidence roads and districts served by trams are the most vibrant, popular and people friendly areas of the city. Resists the traffic sewer and community degrading effect evident in...

    m422a jacket

    I think ELC should ditch that size calculator. it doesn't work for me because I have a 39in chest and just below average height.. And the language used gives the impression to some that ELC does not cater to their sizes. This is partial reason that led me to Aero when buying a jacket last year.

    Custodial sentence usually means locked up in prison, juvenile detention centre, mental hospital or rehab depending on the situation. I think prison is the option here.

    Real McCoy's are closing down..?

    All well to sneer at Chinese made but there are a lot of seriously good textile and clothing workers there. Many skills being forgotten in the West are in over supply there. Give them good materials and guidance, they will produce the best.

    Real McCoy's are closing down..?

    I guess Eastman are selling these time worn(pre digested) jackets because there is a market for them. For many, modern living means everything has to happen easily, quickly and with less effort. A shortcut is the new quality.

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    From my POV, after owning high quality jackets from Aero, and GW, I cannot see myself going back to a cheaper brand. There are many good cheaper jackets around and I thought my Schott's and Avirex were the bees knees when I owned them but now owning Aero's, GW and Norshor products I could...

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    Buying the best one can afford is the right sentiment. I did this to get get to my current jacket collection and it took me a couple of decades. As for the Corvette, I would take the 57 in a blink for the style and cool factor alone. Use it for Sunday drives and drive a medium Mazda for...

    False Valor/ Walter Mitty

    I don't feel comfortable wearing jacket with squadron/group patches, name tags or any military insignia. Makes me feel like I am trying to live in reflected glory or attention seeking. My repro jackets are all bare. I do have an original patched A2 but the patch is of the nose art of a B17...

    New Bill Kelso - Custom Aeronaut In Russet Liberty Horsehide

    I joined facebook. It lasted for about 4 months. Deleted my account. Not the way to live. Too pervasive and intrusive. I am having problems with some of my staff that are addicted to it. Work performance taken a nose dive.

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    Been to a few deserts. Can get extremely cold at night. Suitable attire for evening and early morning wear. Also the best light for cool photography at those times.

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    IMO sizing has a lot to do with the look you want. Do you want it trim fitting and tight, more regular measurement perfect or baggy and loose? If you look at old photos of A2 during the war you will see all sorts of fits. Look at this clip for the long looser baggy look. The correct look is...

    A bit of levity.... what jacket is this...?

    He looks like to have trimmed down in the past decade or so but still a solid lad.
