    Just got my SECOND Aero...

    Great looking jacket. What's next on the list?

    Long Half Belt vs Stockman/Teamster photos needed.

    Aero should confirm the standard back length difference, but my understanding was that a 40" Stockman was about 3.0-4.0" longer than the Teamster. My 40" Teamster is 28.5 long, but I asked for that so don't know the standard length for that size, which may possibly be 0.5-1.0" shorter. My...

    Long Half Belt vs Stockman/Teamster photos needed.

    Bob, I examined your Stockman pics in great detail before ordering mine, so thanks for posting back then. Hope your concerns got resolved, one way or another. I think the Stockman pic here is more the way a Teamster should look and fit, but whatever floats your boat.

    Long Half Belt vs Stockman/Teamster photos needed.

    S-J, the second pic is a Stockman, which is normally considered a car coat. I think it's fair to say that the Insurrection guy likes 'em tight, if you look at his other pics. I err on the side of roomy and my Stockman looks totally different on me.

    Arctic Parka Seal

    persnick, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. Aero's a much safer company to deal with now following the management change. I'd have no worries at all in dealing with them, unless you don't like the idea of getting sucked into their evil web of making more than one top-notch jacket...

    Arctic Parka Seal

    Interesting to reread that thread, as it came from the warm and fluffy Aero-love days just before the bombshell. How things have moved on...

    Pea Coat in the UK. Where ?

    Some would say that Schott has a bit of a chav vibe in the UK, and they do like their labels. At least the logo on this peacoat is subtle.

    Pea Coat in the UK. Where ?

    I got mine here https://www.silvermans.co.uk/ProductDetails/tabid/89/Department/Military/Category/JACKETS+++SMOCKS/Description/SCHOTT+NAVAL+DARK+WOOL+PEACOAT/ItemId/3429/CurrentPage/0/Default.aspx It's a nice warm jacket, but I didn't like the way the vent at the back stuck out, so I sold it...

    What is it about horsehide?

    The Teamster seems to be picking up in popularity, which is good as it's my favourite. Will we be seeing pics? No two seem to look the same on people, strangely. I'm sure you're not knocking our Scottish summers any more. Since I got my first Aero in May, almost literally the only days I've...

    Aero to make jackets for new Hollywood WW2 Film, "The Monuments Men"

    That was written by our very own Sloan. He linked to it in another thread somewhere. I don't see Ken as being the Hollywood tie-in type though, but you never know.

    lost worlds

    Like Sloan and quite a few others on this board, I've visited the Aero factory a number of times, had the tour and met a number of the names we all recognise from this board. It's fair to say that this only makes me feel more enthusiastic about them and their products, as it's obvious...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    IH will be as much an unwitting victim as anybody else, unknowlingly passing on potentially dodgy goods. All they need to do is send the questionable jackets back to Aero for examination and then it's up to Aero to sort out the mess. No doubt IH will have been in touch with other potential...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I actually found Alex's contribution enlightening, despite the misplaced invective. Aero must have appreciated it, even if it costs them more than the usual compensation for replacing steer (assuming he ever gets his property back). It's another part of this soap opera that I'm interested...

    Just Received My New Jacket from Johnsons Leather! (sort of)

    Any clues for us what the "project" is, Jack? Is mid-January a definite, as that suggests a confirmed build just after the holidays?

    Merry Christmas from warm, sunny Dallas, Texas ...

    Merry Christmas to you Fanch, and all others on the Lounge. That looks like the perfect excuse to get the HWM on. :)

    The Road to Galashiels.

    John, no I didn't know Pat, but she looks like someone on TV, so I thought she was maybe a celebrity, your girlfriend/wife or maybe even Lydia. Sounds like there was a lot of fun stuff going on down there at that time anyway.

    The Road to Galashiels.

    Very interesting story, John. I take it that's you in the MoS pic? Who's that you're with? It's nice to see the full circle of life for your jacket, now it's back with its maker. This just proves that Aero jackets are so much more than a piece of hide or material.

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Bob, I totally understand your concerns and that you've come to this late, but Aero have been flat out on this since it was announced over a month ago. The staff have gone on 7 day working to deal with this problem and the backlog. I'm a victim too, awaiting resolution, but I don't begrudge...

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    Last I saw weights were mentioned after someone had just come across the big story and started asking reasonable questions. Don't know if anything else cropped up. Hmmm... It's been "cleansed".

    Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

    Am I dreaming or has the Patina thread disappeared too? Hope it wasn't something I said. :(
