    Aero highwayman and Simmons bilt roadster

    Hammerklavier, when you're buying a leather jacket like the ones we're discussing and that are the subject of this forum, you're buying into a story, one that will endure for at least the length of time you have the jacket – and the Simmons Bilt story is a seedy one.

    New York, New York...

    I was born in NYC in the 70s. Oddly been back only once and found most of Manhattan resembled a Prada store. But it's still flippin' great.

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    I'm no longer going, sadly. The size 40s are all A-2s and I've got one of those. Some of those boots look fetching, though, and I'll keep an eye out for the denim, too, online. I was also worried about an early doors scrum of leather, beards and hobnailed boots but maybe you're right and...

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    I'm worried about an 8am scrum smelling of horse and beard oil. And storse.

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Sadly wouldn't describe Galashiels as the most scenic town any more, what with rundown high street and giant Tesco, but still tempted to go. Anyone recommend decent B&B?

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Looks like a pretty tempting lineup. Thinking of getting a cheapo flight from London for an overnight stay.

    Wow, cool. Ken is a genuine cultural icon. I designed Suzi Quatro's catsuit! Can't get much better than that in the hip stakes.

    Aero Midnight Blue FQHH

    Lovely colour and very, very tempting. Damn!

    My new Thedi X Thurston Phenix Quilted Cafe Racer

    The green Thedi actually looks potentially very cool. Just needs a bit of scuffing.

    My new Thedi X Thurston Phenix Quilted Cafe Racer

    Agree with the jacket praise. And very nice pics, too – someone knows what they're doing. Looks as though you used lights.

    Very early video about Aero Leather

    The smell of horsehide in their basement room was pretty heady. I suspect a lot of jacket habits were born right there and then.

    Very early video about Aero Leather

    It's ironic, then, because my Aero habit was born at Sam Walker about 20 years ago now. SM seemed to shrink and then disappear.

    Aero Grand Theft Sale

    Planning on going. Do slightly fear indecorous, Ikea-post-Christmas-sale scenes at the 10am kickoff – a kind of leather scrum. Or are Aero aficionados too civilised for such behaviour?

    Hm, I do want an A-1.

    Very early video about Aero Leather

    Wonder if the London shop was Sam Walker.

    Are the shades on display in the Aero showroom?

    Hack/Manufactum leather jackets

    Actually, Manufactum was started by the former head of the German Greens, so their middle-class target market may (or may not) be highly ironic. There's noting intrinsically elitist about well made things. It's just that mass manufacture has made so many goods very cheap but of poor...

    Hack/Manufactum leather jackets

    Yes, thanks for those details, Benproof. I couldn't see myself buying one of the jackets, no; they are a bit mall-y. But otherwise it's a good selection of classic/vintage-leaning. The emphasis is on quality manufacture; hence the Latin, which I agree possibly is a little pretentious.

    Hack/Manufactum leather jackets

    Anyone heard of these jackets before? I have just discovered Manufactum and have developed mild addiction to their beautiful (and pricey) products. Hadn't heard of this leather jacket manufacturer before – I think they are German. The linked one looks like an Aero 30s HB; wonder how the quality...
