    Question - Leaving for Romania to represent USA for Olympic Table Tennis

    Thanks Scotty!! I agree with you completely... the experience alone in representing an entire country as well as Parkinson's patients on a worldwide level... THAT is my true medal that I've already won. :)

    Question - Leaving for Romania to represent USA for Olympic Table Tennis

    Hello Gents! It has been a while since I last posted and since that time I have become history's first ever athlete to actively compete with Parkinson's Disease on the Olympic/Paralympic level. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Parkinson's at the age of 39 and I was also born with a heart...

    My new jacket and some MAJOR NEWS to share with you all...

    Hello Gents, Tomorrow is the big day. I leave for Barcelona and will arrive in Barcelona in the morning their timezone on the 17th. I'll have a 5 hour stopover in Canada, hence why the arrival is the 17th morning. In case I don't get to update this thread again before I leave, I want to...

    My new jacket and some MAJOR NEWS to share with you all...

    Gents - Some great news... NBC News interviewed me and my coach earlier this week and taped my training session so NBC will be doing a full feature of me on television sometime either the last week in June or first week in July. In case we miss seeing it, they will provide me with a link to...

    My new jacket and some MAJOR NEWS to share with you all...

    Greetings Gents!!! It's been so long since I last posted and for once it has nothing to do with any health issue (for those who don't know me, I was born with heart condition that required 5 major open heart surgeries over the past 41 years, none of which I was expected to survive but I...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    That jacket looks great on you, HD! Ahh yes... I forgot to mention the zipper as a difference too. Route 66 has a centered front zipper whereas the Bootlegger doesn't. Ahh good, I did indeed use the correct "halfbelt terminology" earlier. There is hope for me afterall, haha! :) Very nice...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    Ahh... that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification, my friend. :) It was absolutely my pleasure to help you all out any way I can, and I agree with you that the Route 66 would be a good compromise. I'm definitely loving this jacket... thank you! :) Correct, but also a few...

    Aero Plainsman -- Seal Vincenza Horsehide

    Beautiful jacket first of all and I love your choice of leather too. I just picked up my Aero Route 66 and I'll admit I love the Horween FQHH leather too, but it's nice to have other options and to be aware that there are other options out there, so for that I thank you. I also really...

    What is it about horsehide?

    Thanks for the info! Just to be sure I'm understanding you fully, are you saying the Horween steerhide has an identical smell to the FQHH or are they different smells?

    What is it about horsehide?

    My only experience with horsehide jackets have been the FQHH made by Aero. Believe it or not, it is the stiffness and thickness of the FQHH that attracts me to it. I love the feeling of this hide enveloping my upper torso and molding to it. My NYPD after owning it 4 years definitely feels...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    This is my "temporary workaround" until the creases naturally shorten the arm length. Good thing the inside lining on the sleeves is brown drill cloth and matches the brown FQHH enough that it's not too noticeable. :)

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    Thanks Nick! You are so right... medication is most definitely unpredictable, especially the ones for Parkinson's since people can react completely different to these specific meds. Yeah, I'm seriously loving this jacket and it's leaving me with a permanent smile on my face too as I'm wearing...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    Hey Windward!!! It's so nice to hear from you after so long, my friend. :-) Oh my goodness... horsepower!!! I'm going to have to use that term now as I do more publicity work for Aero in my car endeavors. What a great way to tie in me wearing a car/bike themed horsehide jacket with my car -...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    Great to hear from you, brother!! Thank you so much for the kind words and excellent advice. I'm tempted though to take my time and develop the creases naturally. I'm playing competitive table tennis again (sandpaper and classic hardbat from the Victor Barna and Marty a Reisman era (1940s and...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    One thing I forgot to mention is that I worked out an arrangement with Aero to acquire this jacket at no charge due to a couple of things, specifically a jacket I had in my possession (blue/black goathide limited edition Levi's/Aero Speedway jacket) that Aero was willing to trade this Route 66...

    Introducing my latest Aero Jacket - Brown FQHH Route 66

    Gents, It's with great honor that I introduce, 4 years after my first Aero purchase (black FQHH NYPD jacket), my 2nd Aero Leather Jacket purchase... a brown FQHH Route 66 jacket. Given my interest in anything car-related, I've always felt this would be the perfect jacket for me, and I was...
