    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    I was wondering why buttons would not fare well with moisture, and that seems odd on an item of clothing, but I suppose leather-covered buttons are not that durable.

    Help with my Aero Hooch Hauler

    Here’s the pic from the TB website to show where the fold is supposed to be. How do you refold a jacket? Warm water and zip it closed?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    You know, I think I'm just not a gambling man. I keep seeing these great deals on eBay (there are several Aeros listed in Japan right now), but I don't trust sellers' measurements. I think my proportions fit fairly well into standard sizing, and a lot of the Aeros seem to have custom sleeve...

    How do YOU break in a new jacket?

    A long-time lurker, I finally purchased my first heavy weight jacket--A Schott 613S. I've been reading and re-reading the posts about breaking in, and I'm still a little horrified that the Schott/Horween Steer isn't the worst to break in. I was going to just wear it in the house, but after two...

    Gustin to make jackets?

    What are people's opinion on the stitching? I'm assuming the pics are of their best work.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I was number 99 on the blackxblack. I'm really looking forward to their arrival. I almost bought a second pair, then decided I ought to wait to see how the first turns out. I'm also curious to see how they wear in. I'm not a fan of not washing denim, or any of my non-outerwear clothing, for...

    Skip the Thurston Bros. upcharge by ordering direct from India!

    As if the first listing wasn't shifty enough... It makes you wonder what jacket you'd actually receive!

    Skip the Thurston Bros. upcharge by ordering direct from India!

    I guess buyer beware, huh? Something tells me you'll get what you pay for (FREE SHIPPING!). http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-ANILINE-SHEEP-NAPPA-LEATHER-CLASSIC-CAFE-RACER-JACKET-ALL-SIZES-/290875460865?pt=US_CSA_MC_Outerwear&hash=item43b9874d01 p.s. Thurston Bros. has already been notified.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Boots to go with all your Aero jackets I came upon these boots from Phigvel Makers Co. today, made in Japan: http://www.hickorees.com/brand/phigvel/product/horsehide-engineer-boots-brown

    re: altering a Aero Highwayman

    I agree that a lot of what we're discussing is personal preference, not "right" or "wrong." With that said, the sleeves look perfect to me--especially if they shorten a bit more with age. I think a slightly longer sleeve looks infinitely better than one that's too short--Kind of like wearing...

    New Alexanders Halfbelt

    So I was curious enough to check out the Alexander website. They're not exactly giving jackets away. Looking at a LHB, we're talking about a 20% discount on a $1000 jacket. I don't know that a couple hundred bucks would swing me one way or another on a purchase of that magnitude. The time...

    Can you identify this jacket?

    The quest for a perfect fitting Aero goes on

    I'm catching up on some old posts... Not sure how I missed this one a few months ago! It's interesting to read through the thing all at once. Anyone who thought the jacket wasn't too large on Boris need only see Wallis' pictures. Most of the custom jackets on here don't fit that perfectly...

    Searching for my first leather jacket……in Japan. Aero? Rainbow Country? (w/ pics)

    Unfortunately, the fit can change as well... There's a mystery ingredient in wagashi that makes your clothes shrink!

    Shearling pea coats

    Coach Shearling At $2400, this coat from Coach almost looks like a bargain! It looks like the slightly shorter coats are the rage... After all, isn't this just an expensive "mall jacket" (not that there's anything wrong with that)?

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    I just broke out my shearling jacket last weekend (I'm a non-biker), but ended up hanging it back up. Apparently 30 F weather isn't cold enough!

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    Sweater weather is finally here... So I thought I'd give this thread a bump and ask where the good ones are this year!

    Hollowpond's Californian/Surrogates Style Half-Belt

    Great Jacket! It looks like it fits as well, if not better, than many of the custom jackets posted on here. You mentioned the size of the jacket you ordered. What do you normally wear, if you don't mind me asking? Large? As far as the side tabs, I'm sure it's a matter of preference, but...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Really? Because I'm quite curious, actually! :-) I'm also happy to hear direct dealings with the company are going well, since I'm still saving pennies for my first jacket!
