  1. Sir Jacket

    Horween and other leather companies

    Aero makes its jackets in Scotland, where labour (and manufacturing premises) are relatively cheap for the UK and Europe more broadly. These are the kind of high quality items that (thankfully) just can't be manufactured by sweatshop labour in China. SJ

    Help on Finding the Right A2: Military Cut, Dark Seal, Red Knits

    I'd go for this, the slimmest Aero A2: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=90 I just ordered one in exactly the hide and knits you describe. Sounds like a question of priorities: what could you sell in order to fund your jacket purchase? SJ

    Leather Jackets & Fine Whisky

    Jacket's a 38 A2 in jerky seal with rust knits. I just sold my M422A to fund it. I'm hoping that, after the measuring, this will come close to the perfect jacket of legend. I guess a trip to the factory is a bit like visiting Mecca for Muslims (although I'd hesitate to compare Galashiels to...

    Leather Jackets & Fine Whisky

    Funny this post should come up. I just returned from an Aero fitting in Galashiels with a one-litre bottle of 12-year-old single malt. I agree the leather and the whisky/key are natural partners. I shall soon have to spark up that fat Nicaraguan cigar I've been saving, too. SJ

    Stylish WWII Aero M422A jacket with olive knits

    Bump. Reduced to £350. This jacket had a lot of interest on ebay and even a buyer -- who withdrew after sale. SJ

    Lovely piece of hide making an an equally lovely jacket. I want to own one of these myself, now, but would have a very hard time justifying it. SJ

    New Teamster Pics

    Aero explains the origin of the name here: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=369 The only mod I'd be inclined to go for would be to lose the bi-swing back, but I have a mania for simplicity. SJ

    New Teamster Pics

    Excellent. Worn very well. And I'm very tempted, if it didn't likely man bankruptcy. Thinking of the very same, too: a cordovan teamster. What size jacket and what's your height, by the way, wdw? SJ

    Stylish WWII Aero M422A jacket with olive knits

    Up for sale is this stylish and barely worn version of an Aero Clothing M422A leather jacket -- the classic WWII US navy predecessor of the (vastly inferior but better known) G1. The modifications comprise oil-pull leather rather than goatskin, olive green knits (for which there are historical...

    Best A-2 picture threads?

    If anybody can recommend any on the forum, I'd be grateful. Yes, yes, I know: I shouldbe able to search but unfortunately the search system tells me "A-2" is too common a term. I'm trying to make a crucial leather/knit decision. Thanks in advance, SJ

    Pictures of your goat (and is it right to use FQHH for an A2?)

    Cheers, chaps. I take your point, Graemsay, but I'm increasingly realising there's a reason why a particular jacket is made in a particular range of hides and why you should be wary of modifying the specs too much in case you end up with a jacket that just doesn't work. SJ
