    Early Aero A2 - Cosmic ordering or goal setting? - my latest find.

    As you say it's a gorgeous jacket, I'll keep an eye out for it on if you do decide to sell and see how much it goes for, to get an idea of the eBay value of mine - not that I'm ever going to sell this one it's going to stay a part of the hoard!

    Early Aero A2 - Cosmic ordering or goal setting? - my latest find.

    Let me think about that .... No labels etc. then it's got to be the prototype -so none is the answer- priceless- and if it is then that's fantastic! And if it isn't then it's out there somewhere so I'll keep looking.

    Early Aero A2 - Cosmic ordering or goal setting? - my latest find.

    Hey Rocketeer - What a coincidence - I always wanted a sheepskin flying jacket as a kid too and I finally bought one for my 40th. Birthday in June 1993 from Sherwood Lambskins in Nottingham and got a hefty discount buying a winter jacket as it was Summer. I've still got it and the patches from...

    Thanks H.D. - no there isn't a paper tag - I looked when I read about them in another thread.

    Early Aero A2 - Cosmic ordering or goal setting? - my latest find.

    I'm a baby boomer and true to type decided to put together a collection of jackets I'd have liked to own when I was younger poorer and more interested in lesser things. In common with most of you (perhaps) I started small and inexpensive with vintage Levis, L.L. Bean then moved up to Schott and...

    Staff changes at Aero Leather

    Just a couple of points, firstly I used the words 'be patient' and this does not imply sending a barrage of emails, secondly I understand that the majority of customers order standard designs or just a few mods such as extra length on sleeves and back and so no need for lots of emails, thirdly...

    Reference ordering a new jacket Well although I'm no expert on industry it seems blindingly obvious that any manufacturing enterprise needs a full order book to survive, plan for the future etc. etc. so any talk of helping them by not placing orders seems to be quite illogical. If you want and...

    Leather Jackets & Fine Whisky

    Well my current favourite jacket is a 1980's Schott 125, but this will end when my order from Aero comes through some time after Christmas. I've ordered the new 1920's half belt in Kudu. I like most whisky and whiskey but my favourite is a single malt called Highland Park. I tried it first ten...

    Thank you all - 70's is good- a bargain stylish vintage coat in a brand worn by amongst others, James Bond, various film stars and at least one Mafia boss.

    Thanks for that but I still wonder if it is a bit older?

    Doc Savage

    Doc Savage -the Philip Jose Farmer angle Check out books by Farmer on Doc Savage - a google search will tell you whether you'll find his views on the character worth reading. For what it's worth I really enjoyed them - he envisages links with Tarzan.

    I found this leather coat last week in a retro -clothing shop here in Sheffield and was very surprised when I quickly checked the name of the maker on t'interweb - Sheffield colloquial for the internet. I was surprised for two reasons firstly it fitted perfectly (that hardly ever happens) and...

    I'll be pleased to post a picture when it arrives - it will be my first new Aero jacket and perhaps even the first model of the new design (excepting the prototype of course).

    I drove from Sheffield to the factory on 16th. October to make a final decision on whether to order the 'un-named' 1920s half belt having seen the prototype on the web site. This was in the midst of the changes and I can report that Ken took my order giving excellent professional advice and I...
