    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    The Waxy's a definite possible. If this is Aero, I'm down on Monday and will check It out. It would be nice to branch out.

    Speaking of travel bags, murses and such ...

    I can only pray they're 20cm wide to fit the low cost carriers. If not, then I'm sadly out.

    2013 Cordovan Aero Cropduster

    Schitzo, your best so far. I'd have to say 2.4 kg.

    William Lennon Derby Boots - Black

    They do leather soles, no doubt very solid, but I don't know about thinner rubber ones. That would be nice though. I compared them to the "vintage" Doc Martens I got a couple of years ago, which technically are the same price. Needless to say, the Lennons are far superior. The good thing is...

    William Lennon Derby Boots - Black

    Just been checking their leather samples and they have one, slightly pebbled, which is a very close match to both Aero's Battered Brown and Cordovan hides, which means even better value for money.

    William Lennon Derby Boots - Black

    I've just received these, 7 weeks after the order. They're the Derby, but modded with Horween Black CXL, commando soles and leather linings. My first impression, not having seen Lennons before, was that they looked and felt like boots must have done before mass production. They have a raw...

    Alexander Leathers

    There are enormous threads galore on Style forum about leather bags, but I just didn't feel enthusiastic about any. I ordered a Custom Hide, but they c*cked up the order and after reading more reviews I was glad I was able to pull out. The Saddleback spin sounds great, but there are...

    Alexander Leathers

    Trouble is, finding a truly decent leather bag or briefcase is no easy matter. I dipped my toe into that water, had a bad experience and just gave up as nothing seemed to be ideal, no matter what the price was. I gather that Filson is pretty good, SAB much better but about £1,300 and...

    Aero Shackleton Explored

    Thanks guys. Xenophon, I'm similar to you. 5'11" and a 39 chest, usually taking a 40. My Shackleton is a 40. It's definitely a pretty tight fit, but it's meant to be. The actual waistcoat measures 20" pit to pit, so a world away from normal Aero sizing. I like it a lot and think it allows a...

    Puckering on leather jacket from water?

    Yeah, considering guys here have stood under a hot shower wearing their jackets with no significant effect, your damp cloth points to the leather being the issue.

    Name this Tartan ? and Suggest Others

    Ha... not just Scotland. Did you notice the Singh tartan? I'm sure they'd make a Butte one if you asked nicely.

    Name this Tartan ? and Suggest Others

    Butte, well done for lasting 10 minutes. That site did my head in. There must be a better way to display hundreds of patterns than that. Even if they did it by predominant colour.

    Aero 50s Halfbelt

    Looks like a perfect fit all over. Nice bright lining too.

    My Collection ...so far. Cafe Racer, Detroit & Teamster

    Great selection. The Teamster's a great all-rounder and it's good to see it become more popular over the last year or so.

    Seeking Help on Choosing a Civil Version A-2

    Very true, Sloan. I think every site visit to any maker posted on this board has been very positive and can only have been a great advert for the manufacturer.

    Bill Kelso Star A-2

    No doubt that Carrie's doing an excellent job on behalf of Aero and even Vanson, but the flipside is that the forum does have something of an Aero fanboy vibe at times. That suits me fine as I'm a big fan, but I'd be interested to see the likes of BK also get their stuff up there, as their...

    Which Aero Jacket looks best in Black ? - Need Opinions / Suggestions

    Fanch, all this talk of brown has got me thinking. I'm not a brown person, but I think I'll need to take advantage of an upcoming visit and have a good look at it. As for your wife, just get Aero to mark the box as containing shortbread and haggis and tell her you're collecting for Burn's...

    Raw Selvedge Bleeding

    I spoiled my RW Hawthorne IRs with selvedge. Got most of it out, washed the jeans and same thing happened again. Now I can't be bothered cleaning the boots and am unable to wear them as God intended.

    Which Aero Jacket looks best in Black ? - Need Opinions / Suggestions

    Windward, both look good, so impossible to choose. It just depends on your mood on the day. I'm soonish about to get my second Stockman, as I just like it and fancy a different colour for my mood swings. As for the Teamster, Fanch's looks great, but I'm not sure what the difference is...
