    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Wow... I've been away from the forum for a while now and happened to see this thread today... what a shocker. My experience with Mark years back when I got my Aero NYPD was a very positive one... friendly guy, got my jacket in 10 weeks from the time I placed my order. Sadly people change for...

    Horsehide "bleeding" on shirts worn under the jacket

    Fortunately I have not had any problems of bleeding with my black Aero FQHH jacket.

    My new custom cafe racer jacket arrives as I head in for surgery...

    Thank you so much for the kind words! Thanks for the explanation about pigmented leather. Looking at my jacket I'm not sure whether it has the protective layer of artificial, embossed grain versus leather with a transparent finish. If you have the time I'd suggest going to the website and...

    My new custom cafe racer jacket arrives as I head in for surgery...

    Hello my friends! Surgery was a success!! The surgeon arthroscopically went into my knee, drained a lot of thick blood clots and scar tissue that had accumulated in my knee for god knows how long, then discovered 4 areas in my knee (all capillaries) that were leaking blood so they cauterized...

    My new custom cafe racer jacket arrives as I head in for surgery...

    Wow... very cool that you were on the pro beach tour... congrats! Sorry to hear about your torn ACL. Yeah, my knee surgery is a bit unique here... my main issue here is internal bleeding in my knee, not necessarily a structural knee issue like ACL, meniscus, etc. Doctor originally thought I...

    My new custom cafe racer jacket arrives as I head in for surgery...

    Hey there! Haha... yeah it's definitely blue enough to match my blue car so this is my car leather jacket. :D Not sure about the exact thickness, but I definitely wouldn't use my specific jacket to ride in... I'd feel more comfortable with a jacket either that has armor or is made of...

    My new custom cafe racer jacket arrives as I head in for surgery...

    Greetings Gents, I hope you all have been doing well. Sadly I'm heading into the hospital shortly for knee surgery due to my 3rd episode of spontaneous internal bleeding in my left knee (past 2 times were in August 2010 and August 2011). Doctors don't know why it keeps happening or where...

    Beating up your Aero -- advice sought

    I agree with the others here in regards to just wearing the jacket... my primary method of breaking in my FQHH NYPD jacket was simply just wearing it as often as possible. My jacket arrived in the month of June so it was still too hot to wear it outdoors so I'd wear it inside my house at nights...

    Aero..one more time!

    That's good to know. Actually I've lost about 10 pounds since my avatar pic (8 pounds of it over the course of 2 days due to severe food poisoning) so the cafe racer should fit. :D I almost bought a used Veste de Rallye (I'm digging the longer length jackets in contrast to the shorter...

    Very nice mod, Jan! Love the real buffalo horn buttons. :)

    Aero..one more time!

    Good points! It definitely wouldn't hurt to ask... thanks Edward! :) Haha... good point, my friend. :D

    Aero..one more time!

    Yeah, I'm really digging the checkered lining (it has an automotive style theme to it that I like)... maybe I'll consider having Aero remove the black drill cloth lining on my Aero NYPD and replace with the checkered lining. Is the checkered lining cotton drill cloth as well?

    FS: Aero FQHH HG-5, size 50, Alpaca lined.

    Very tempting... my Aero NYPD is a 46 but modified for extra room in the tummy area due to my abdominal hernia bulge... not sure whether a 50 would be way too large for me. Such a beautiful jacket too. :)

    Aero..one more time!

    Love that checkered lining... may have to order that with my next Aero.

    My Leather Jackets

    Beautiful jackets! I actually like that color of your first jacket... reminds me of the aged tan steerhide that Aero uses. :)
