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

    Schitzo, to be honest, when you see the hassle and expense that some of the US guys have if they have a problem with Aero, if I was you I'd be very tempted to take the chance to go up there, have a good look around and get your order and measurements absolutely right. It's probably cheaper to...

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

    Fanch, definitely will do thanks. She deals with Dallas every day, so here's hoping. Apologies to Schitzo for the hijack. Back on topic, I quite like the look of the Short Teamster, although I think it needs a fourth button. That would have a narrow front, but with the nice V-shaped back, so...

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

    Fanch, I just edited my post. It's handy being close to Aero, but it's not like I need to go often. There are so many great places that people here live in, particularly in the US, that I'd happily trade proximity to a good leather factory for the chance of living somewhere like that. Funnily...

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

    That puts things into a bit of perspective. I knew Texas was big, but it sounds like the whole UK would fit into it. For me it's 39 miles and 50 minutes to Aero, which can be handy. Having said that, I'm really jealous when I see some of the great locations people live in on the board.

    New Aero Pioneer in Kudu

    Insoma, Aero have said the kudu won't work on longer jackets due to the size of the panels, so you'll need to choose from goat, mid-weight horse or something else.

    Shipping Back to Aero from the U.S.

    Thinking this through, it might have been better for Aero to do a few bulk returns through Insurrection, as that way the US customers deal inland, Insurrection get a few dollars for their trouble and Aero save a packet on individual postage costs. :cheers1: Holly - all I ask in return for this...

    Shipping Back to Aero from the U.S.

    Maybe Aero made a mistake and now decide that Frank's jacket really is horse. Problem solved - no carriage fees, no waiting for another jacket and Aero can make a profit on the one they had earmarked as a replacement. Who could tell otherwise if they change their mind? Presumably they're...

    Shipping Back to Aero from the U.S.

    I suppose the point now is what reason or evidence you or anyone else has to doubt the current Aero management's word. I have personal experience of them righting the previous wrongs (at their own expense), so would trust Holly with no hesitation. I doubt very much if I am the only one.

    Very impressive and a great fit.

    New Aero Pioneer in Kudu

    Very nice. I like the longer back on that one, compared to the usual relatively short HBs.

    Aero Come Good - TWICE

    The time has come to close off this circle, which started at the height of the storse controversy. Despite what I said above, I handed back my steer replacement HWM a week later as I wanted what I'd thought I was buying in the first place. I've just received the genuine FQHH replacement and am...

    New Aero back designs

    Agreed. The triple looks neater.

    Is the Aero 40th Halfbelt no longer available?

    I'd love to see the rough kudu come up again, but that seems to have been a one-off.

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Looks great. At last the saga draws to an end. My replacement HWM arrived today, although I won't see it until I get home tomorrow.

    My new Peacoat advice. Too big ?

    I'm no peacoat expert, but that looks fine to me. I wouldn't change it.

    Heavily Modded Veste de Rallaye

    Worf, I think sleeves are a personal thing. We all need to go for what feels right for us, rather than what other people tell us. I think yours are fine and preferable to short ones, but I totally accept you feel different. I've seen sleeves on here I'd say were definitely too short, but...

    Heavily Modded Veste de Rallaye

    I have my Teamster like that. Maybe a half inch longer than ideal, but it'll wrinkle up some more. Nothing to worry about, IMHO.

    The Aero has landed:

    Looks great on you and you couldn't get a better fit. It was a long wait, but worth it in the end.

    Made in America. Stayed in America.

    Boringly back on topic, I found Butte's link really interesting and look forward to visiting AE in NY later in the year to see the shoes for myself. I'd love to see something similar for jacket making.
