CP - I know what you mean, definitely a bit of tightness around the arms, when bending them and across the backs of the arms and shoulders when driving, but I still love it! The fascinating thing for me, is that initial feeling of tightness seems to just fade away as my body heat warms the...
Hello H. Johnson - Thank you for your advice. I'm am finding it fascinating how a single item of clothing can generate such lengthy and heated debates :)
I can only say that I am very happy with the way my Aero both looks and feels.
On to more interesting matters, after owning 10 to 12...
Great looking coat matei and a perfect fit on you. Leather looks a lot darker and richer in the outdoor pic. I was considering a Mariner for the winter, because I wasn't sure about a belt, but I think the stormer definitely has the edge. Thanks for showing us another great Aero.
Wow! that's one serious coat Matei, truly superb! I can't imagine how it feels to wear it - and I think my new Highwayman feels heavy! I would be interested to hear how easily it breaks in. Any chance of a pic of you wearing it to see the fit? (I'm toying with the idea of a longer coat for...
Thanks Johnny. With the pics I really wanted to show what brand new heavy front quarter horse looked like in natural light - thought it might be useful for others who were thinking of buying one. I was a bit concerned by the flat waxy look, when I pulled it out of the box, but it's amazing...
Very nice jacket Tommer. Yes, I'll never be frightened to help a jacket along it's way again. Let's face it, heavy leather will get there eventually anyway, but, unless you wear it all day every day, you're in for a very long period of discomfort when you could be out enjoying it.
Hi cloudspotter - I first tried just wearing it and flexing my arms to stretch the back, shoulders and crease the arms but after about an hour it was taking the skin from my elbows! The front panels, sides and back were like amour plates and I literally couldn't even sit in the jacket in any...
Superb jacket AEH, great design and very nice looking leather. I'm with you on breaking leather in, life is too short to suffer years in an uncomfortable jacket, but each to his own I suppose.
Thanks again for the kind comments guys.
Hawk_Eye - One of the main things I liked about the brown 'Common Riding' was how soft it felt compared to the other linings. I was a bit concerned that is might not wear as well, but Will assured me that even though it feels soft, a wool worsted is...
bobjones - Bob, I really wouldn't worry too much about the size, Will at Aero will sort it for you I'm sure. Sorry, I may have mislead you by saying I was a 42" chest (that's how I always see myself for UK jackets). The measurements I was asked to give and my actual measurements were as...
Thanks for the comments guys.
blethook - I'm sure your slim half belt will be fine once it's broken in.
bobjones - I have a 36" waist and 42" chest and the fit is perfect. Just give Aero the dimensions they ask for and trust them - they definitely know what they are doing regards sizing...
This is my first post so a big hello to all and many congratulations to the owners and moderators of this superb site.
A bit of history - I have been searching for the 'ultimate leather jacket' for many years and have owned and sold quite a few in that time as they have never been just right...
