    What Aero lining in the summer

    I have a few samples of Aero lining that Amanda was kind enough to send me. I chose the wool worsted 'Common Riding' for my heavy horse Highwayman and it's a good choice for cold weather - nice soft wool but like the alpaca, a bit too warm for your summer jacket. For my new medium weight...

    Californian... Aero or Good Wear?

    Just got an email from Amanda, my new Aero Californian is on the way! I wanted to try one of Aero's medium weight hides this time, to compliment my heavy horse Highwayman, so I have gone with the russet jerky horse. Will has sized it a 38", which sounds a bit lean to me as my Highwayman is...

    Arrival of Aero Cheyenne in heavy goat

    Very nice Griff. Goatskin does seem to work very well with this style of coat. I like the even brown color and the stitching does indeed look perfect. Look forward to seeing it on. Enjoy! Cheers

    An Introduction

    Welcome aboard. Aero brown FQHH is a beautiful hide that only gets better with age and the LHB is a classic design - a great combination.

    Any Aero brown heave steerhide pics?

    Why not email Amanda and get her to send you some samples. I did and I ruled out the heavy steer immediately. I couldn't believe how heavy, thick and inflexible it was. I can understand why Jack didn't keep his heavy steer Bootlegger. If you think HFQH is heavy, you wait until you get your...

    New Aero Highwayman in the House

    Very nice Highwayman Lenny. The hide looks good and I see you stayed with the Common Riding lining which I think looks great with brown leather. It's a shame about them missing the bottom leather panel off, I know how important it was for you to get the perfect leather jacket this time - it...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    It was a 38R , a popular size I suppose. The dimensions were about right for me, but I sort of lost interest when it went over the $300 mark.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Unfortunately for me, it was ebay.com (USA) and it still went for over $300. With shipping costs to the UK I would have been looking at around $366! Having said that, it was listed as unissued so I guess is was a pretty rare item. Cheers

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Peacoat prices Was watching an ebay auction for a mint condition WWII Peacoat - it just went for over $300 :eek: Wish we had them over here in our UK charity shops (thrift stores), looks like there is good money to be made if you can find them! I'm waiting for my second 60's peacoat to...

    60's US Navy Peacoat 40R

    Just listed on ebay.co.uk. Searched long and hard to find one as clean as this and waited a long time for it too come over here too. I was gutted when I put it on and found it was too big for me. Any UK forum members - save on the shipping, VAT and handling cost from the USA, I already paid...

    Aero Highwayman Custom

    Very nice indeed. I would also be interested to know if you had the side panels reduced or just the waist band. I'm not familiar with the lining pattern - is it a type of Grant? Would like to see some pictures of it being worn. Many congrats and enjoy! Cheers

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Yes I'm very familiar with Peacoat's sitcky, he has also been kind enough to help me quite a few times with dating coats during my ebay searches. It was this old thread that I hadn't seen - a lot of images no longer showing but still an interesting read. Cheers
