Golly, eggcarton that looks fantastic. The anticipation must be killing you. I will be really interested to read your review of how it fits and the Vicenza hide.
Many thanks to all the members who have responded.
It will definitely be something mid-weight this time. I very nearly went with Don Tomaso's suggestion of Oil Pull for my current jacket but changed my mind at the last moment.
I love the look of FQHH, when it has worn in some, and I also love...
Thanks Fanch.
How do you find the brown veg tanned goat? Ideally I would like some wear to show, especially a reddy undertone that I have seen on a few jackets. Are either of your goats showing any wear?
Aye, Sloan I have been within a few hours drive a number of times in the past two years but could not convince my wife and daughter that it was a good use of their holiday time. I was not really in the market either and did not want to call to the factory to kick a few tyres.
I think I will...
@theeggcarton, that sounds like a great order. Hopefully you will post some pictures of the work coat as I am seriously considering one. I am also very interested in the comparison you will be able to make between Vincenza and FQHH. I am looking for an alternative as I have tried to break in a...
Fanch, I mentioned in another reply that I have tried but it has not panned out. I might free a day up and take a day trip. It would add to the cost of the jacket but if I end up with one I am content with, that would be a good outcome.
Guppy, thank you for your insight. When I see it written down it makes little sense. My house is closer to Scotland than where I work. I have tried to engineer a trip several times, between work and holidays, but it has not worked out. In my defense I would say that the choices of hide would...
Superfluous, many thanks. The Vincenza hide does sound interesting. I could talk to Aero to find out if they have an exclusive deal with Thurston.
Fanch, thank you for dropping by. Another member I had hoped to hear from. You and I have similar tastes. There was a picture you posted of when...
Damo you are right. This one needs to be it. Because you can trade in to Aero, or sell on eBay reasonably easily I would say it has cost me approximately £2500 over the last 10 years.
Sloan and Plumbline's descriptions are pushing me towards goat.
Does anyone know how the new Aero goat...
Many thanks Sloan.
Another member I had hoped to hear from. I am hoping to post up some pictures in another thread and would be interested in your view of sizing between styles.
Didn't you pick up a shinki jacket. Do Aero have any in stock?
Goat is definitely on my shortlist (again)
Many thanks Plumbline. You were one of the members I was hoping to hear from. Extensive experience.
I loved the Seal jerky barnstormer but prefer no belt. The Seal Brown HH you mention sounds interesting.
I have been dropping in here for years and am a serial Aero buyer but have not got it quite right yet.
Aero 1
Second hand steer Barnstormer. Sold as too small. It had been relined and the size label was missing.
Aero 2
Brown FQHH Long half belt. Size 44, 0.5 inches added to sleeves. Very...
