    Pictures of, or thoughts on, the Aero Teamster?

    Yeah, I may have forgotten to say: I changed the back to a one-piece on Will's suggestion to minimise "waisting", but I agree the false half-belt is cool. Not a big fan of the byswing back.

    Blethook, here are some less-than-brilliant shots of the Stuart with a little wear. [/IMG] Sir J

    Pictures of, or thoughts on, the Aero Teamster?

    Blethook, I've worn it in early winter but I wouldn't wear it any later than that, unless you asked for a wool lining (I don't see why not). I've been wearing mine for a little over a year and it now fits to my body beautifully. I see it as a versatile two-three season jacket. One thing to note...

    Blethook, I have a Stuart. Great Jacket, and I have posted pics here at the FL before, but they have expired. I will try to remember to repost them. If I happen to forget, feel free to PM me.

    Questions from an A2 novice (please do post your pics)

    Thanks, guys, for the solid advice. I'm also trying to track down this jacket, the ANJ3, here modelled by one JanSolo. I believe Aero at least used to sell one but I can't find it on the site now.

    Many thanks for the thoughtful comments, Splitcoil. Sir J

    Questions from an A2 novice (please do post your pics)

    Fellas, I've been buying Aero jackets for years now but have always steered away from their military jackets: I guess I just found them a bit too "dad-looking", for want of a better term. Anyway, whether it's my age (38) or just my all-round Aero addiction, I am now strongly drawn to an A-2 -...

    Thanks, Jan. The longer halfbelt, presumably? I'm after a slim-fitting, buttoned longer Aero and am not quite sure how to go about it. I don't want any extra horse on one of those big babies! Sir J

    Pictures of, or thoughts on, the Aero Teamster?

    I hadn't seen the model before it appeared on the new Aero website but I must say I rather like it as an example of a longer Aero jacket for winter. Horsehide can be so heavy that I, ahem, shy away from the bulky longer models. I think if I added a Teamster to my collection, though, I would...

    What type and color Aero leather is this?

    Yes, a nice Stuart, Jake. I'm also very attached to mine. Sir J

    The 50s halfbelt has landed (but too short?)

    Mr H, yes the brown, not the vintage brown. Thanks for all the comments, chaps, I have approached Aero about a tweak to the jacket! Sir J

    The 50s halfbelt has landed (but too short?)

    Loungers, after a long wait (ordered in November last year) my Aero 50s HB (pic here) has arrived. It's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, as Aeros with rare exception reliably are, but I'm wondering whether anyone thinks it's too short: I in fact ordered it one inch longer and I'm not sure...

    Black or brown, that is the Aero question

    I find the rust ever so slightly garish. I think I would go for mid-brown.

    Black or brown, that is the Aero question

    You make a very strong argument, Peacoat. The other question then becomes, what colour mouton with the brown? I would argue the rust is the most stylish.

    Black or brown, that is the Aero question

    I would go black without question, were it not for my fear that brown in Aero just carries a lot more potential character. SJ

    Black or brown, that is the Aero question

    Thanks for the suggestion, Trout. Regarding the wait: really? Is it taking longer than the standard six to eight weeks? Trouble is, I already have a cordovan Stuart. A man needs a black leather jacket, doesn't he? Sir J

    Black or brown, that is the Aero question

    Fellows, I am close to ordering a slightly modified Aero halfbelt with mouton collar for winter - or at least I would be if I could decide upon whether I should get it in brown or black. A simple question, I know, but not so easy to answer. Indeed, it is incapacitating me. I lean slightly...

    Arrival of Aero Cheyenne in heavy goat

    It is a great jacket, Griff. Do you find it heavy to wear? Sir J

    My latest 1930/40's ? leather jacket: Cycle/Luftwaffe style

    What a beauty. Sir J

    Of mouton collars...

    I have just received three mouton samples from Aero (very prompt, I might add). They are mid-brown, rust and dark brown. They are all very beautiful and feel even softer than I expected. I would happily order one jacket with each collar, but I can't. For me, I feel the "rust" could be a little...
