    Highwayman with detachable fur collar?

    I was down there on Friday and had a good long discussion with Ken, and for us mere buyers it's a case of "The King is dead, long live the King". There's nothing for us to worry about, as Ken certainly knows his onions and is very passionate about his business, just as Will was. Ken couldn't...

    Plain Teamster

    Looks great on you Dav. Very different to my standard Teamster, but in a good way.

    Leather U-Boat jacket advice please?

    I had the leather Schott for about 12 years before I sold it on, which I now kinda regret. It aged quite nicely, particularly around the arms, and didn't seem to stay glossy for long. I didn't like the non-zipped inner pockets though. Pricewise in the UK the Schott's nearing Aero territory...

    Aero Cafe Racer in brown oil pull horse hide

    She's probably replied by now. Be aware that Aero are closing tomorrow for a week's holiday.

    Lewis Leathers Roadmasters vs. Belstaff Knockhill Trainmaster?

    I had the Belstaff Panther, which is the fashion equivalent of the Trialmaster, but the Panther now retails at £1,200 or about $1,900, so that Trialmaster is supercheap. The Belstaff pictures make the leather look very thin though, and nowhere near as robust or well-made as the Lewis. If I...

    Barbour Wax Jackets

    I really like the Belstaff Che Guevara wax jacket. http://www.lineafashion.com/store/mens-belstaff-jackets/belstaff-new-che-guevara-mens-replica-jacket-10085.html. Of the four Belstaffs I had before I discovered Aero, this is the only one I've kept. It's quite a heavy weight of cotton and...

    Adapt an Aero today...

    Where do you think Aero got the inspiration for their linings from? :eeek: Actually, that takes me back to my formative years, when even the guys liked BCR, although they'd never admit it now. Happy days!

    Adapt an Aero today...

    I had the LHB in cordovan and didn't notice any bleed. I also have the HWM in cordovan and had a little rubbing off on the inside collar, but I've rubbed that a lot with a dry cloth and it seems to have stopped. I'm getting a Stockman in cordovan in two weeks, so I guess what I'm saying is...

    Adapt an Aero today...

    It's so easy to get carried away, but I second smoz in keeping it simple on your first order. I ordered quite a few relatively basic mods on my first order, an LHB, then unfortunately after all the fuss, 3 months wait and 2 months wearing I decided I didn't like the long zip style after all, so...

    Leather Jacket Recommendation

    Good. I'll be in Germany next month and was hoping to take an Aero. My experiences of October holidays in Bavaria is that it's often quite warm during the day, so we're hoping for cool and fresh this time.

    Aero Barnstormer

    Dav - "The Cheyenne that I own isn't open at the bottom" Thanks guys. Wonder why the Barnstormer doesn't get sewn linings then?

    Aero Barnstormer

    As the Barnstormer length is not dissimilar to the Cheyenne or Stockman, it would be interesting to know if they also have open hems. I'm awaiting delivery of a Stockman which I think is normally longer than the Barnstormer and asked for a cord hem on that and no-one said it wasn't normally...

    Aero price increase! Again? (Sept,2012)

    If it's any consolation, much over-hyped (and over-priced) Belstaff have increased the price of their flagship Panther by over 20% to £1,200. Aero's equivalent and infinitely superior Barnstormer isn't much more than half that. While we're on, Holly, are any more new styles coming out...

    Aero price increase! Again? (Sept,2012)

    Saw that last night. It would be interesting to know what the percentage increase is to see if it's worth the effort ordering early.

    Belstaff or Aero?

    You won't get that sort of gossip when you buy Belstaff off the rack in a department store

    New Aero 20s HB

    I was wondering what new stuff Aero might be coming up with this Autumn/Fall, but the subtlety of this description passed me by until now. It does nothing for me, but should appeal to those looking for a slim fitting jacket.

    Belstaff or Aero?

    Graemsay, thanks for the info. Nice story. Edward, the colour on that Bootlegger is fabulous. Is that a real photo of you wearing it or some advert shot? I hope my cordovan HWM and Stockman look half as good.

    Belstaff or Aero?

    I'd phone to check if Will's going to be there, as he's part of the experience just because of the passion he has for his work.

    Belstaff or Aero?

    That is one serious and fine-looking coat. What are the specs?

    Flashy, did the briefcase turn up? If so, what do you think of it?
