    Aero summer jacket in deer skin!

    I think there was an updated white elk hide thread very recently, but not Aero. Nice to see something different, though. I just wish Aero would get a move on with releasing the new designs, especially given the six-month wait.

    Aero Stuart - no more!

    Interesting. Any more sneak peeks of new designs, Carrie?

    New aero 1920's halfbelt pre production arrived!

    Thanks for that. Interestingly relatively narrow in the shoulders, and trim in the chest for Aero.

    Aero FQHH vs Vintage FQHH

    Totally with you, Fanch. My original Stockman sleeves came in 1" less than specced and I didn't feel comfortable at all in it. Aero kindly rebuilt it and that extra 1" was the difference between wearing it and not. It's now my go-to jacket and I still look at the sleeves and think how...

    Aero FQHH vs Vintage FQHH

    It seems there's no one answer to this, as peoples' experiences differ. I have both vintage and regular and in my case the vintage is seems marginally thinner but noticeably stiffer, particularly in the arms, although that may be down to the specific sections of hide used. Vintage looks better...

    Urgent A2 question: how much length should I add?

    Yeah, don't hang about. I had a similar thing last year BC and by the time I emailed later in the day the jacket was made. Naturally it was too long and was a real hassle to get sorted and remade.

    re: altering a Aero Highwayman

    I think the standard length for a 42 would be 25.5 Max. As a matter of interest, when did you place the HWM order? I'm kind of surprised it went out the door under the current regime if they knew your height.

    re: altering a Aero Highwayman

    Without knowing Layman's height, I'd say that was possibly deliberately specced long. Normally a HWM would sit above the back pockets, I think. FWIW, a 40" has a standard back length of 25", as I understand it.

    leather jacket porn for fetishists and zealots

    I suppose a hem strip adds more effort, time and cost, so won't help the backlog, and all for no return. I could see it maybe being a chargeable option to new orders, unless there's an outright ban.

    leather jacket porn for fetishists and zealots

    I thought the cord was also to prevent the lining from sagging under the hem, which some people used to complain about. That was my thinking when I got it.

    leather jacket porn for fetishists and zealots

    I especially like the Herc, Schitzo. I'm also curious as to the shoulder widths and pit-to-pits for each, if you don't mind.

    My First Aero!! (Insurrection aero 1930s Halfbelt - Brown FQHH size 42) PIC Heavy

    Jl, it's just natural, probably more so with stiffer hides. I suspect long sleeves somewhat self-correct by being forced back and wrinkling, possibly partly due to resting against the hand. I'm sure there was a thread about it with some really extreme wrinkles.

    My First Aero!! (Insurrection aero 1930s Halfbelt - Brown FQHH size 42) PIC Heavy

    Definitely wouldn't worry about the sleeves. Just checked my Teamster with the double cuffs and they've lost an inch since I got it in June.

    Very nice. It's a keeper, and hassle free too.

    Question on stockman vs cheyenne vs veste

    I wouldn't let weight worry you. My Stockman weighs less than a pound more than my 1.75" shorter Teamster, which is a cross I willingly bear. As it happens, I'm finding I wear my Stockman more, although reducing the length to 30" probably helped. Fanch - surely to goodness your Teamster...

    are there any trim aero jackets besides the 30s halfbelt?

    Absolutely right Fanch. I'm not struck on the open chest pocket on the Stuart, but the 4 button look is definitely preferable to me. My standard Teamster has a relatively narrow front, which is why I think it might meet Schitzo's requirements on a shorter version. That could be very tempting.
