    Double leather (leather lined) cuffs

    The Teamster has double leather cuffs. They're definitely stiffer and wrinkle more, but no big deal either way.

    The new Eastman B-3

    That's one fine looking jacket and a good fit. Looks great on you.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Fantastic jacket. How does the sizing compare to other jackets and could you choose the sleeve length?

    Aero offers olive gabardine again

    Rather than a different material or overlayering in the sleeves, why not just use whatever sleeve liner Aero recommend? I have a brown cotton material as standard in my sleeves and can't see the need for anything different. More mods = more delays = more scope for problems :)

    New Buttoned Aero Leather??

    I'm thinking either no breast pockets, with two inner, or maybe two breast pockets, no inner. How about a pic with 2 pockets, if poss, majormajor? I'm also thinking that the top button would be more for show, like the Stockman, so the very top would realistically be folded back on each...

    New Buttoned Aero Leather??

    I'm with Fanch in that 22.5" seems too short. Compared to a standard HWM, that would sit above the belt.

    New Buttoned Aero Leather??

    Having just checked out the nicely plain Radjacke back, I reckon I would definitely go for a straight buttoned style like the latest proposal.

    My Aero 50's Half Belt 36 fit opinions

    As Aeros are so customisable there's no guarantee that you've got a standard size. My bet is that yours is smaller around the pits than the standard pattern, for whatever reason.

    My Aero 50's Half Belt 36 fit opinions

    I would have thought the pit-pit would have been 40 or probably 42 around for a 36 50s. I know the 30s Half Belt is slimmer, but 38.5 sounds very unforgiving for even that. Did you ask for it to be a slimmer cut?

    My Aero 50's Half Belt 36 fit opinions

    38.5" around the chest seems very small for a 36" 50s. I take it that doesn't include the side panels?

    Aero Highwayman / Sizing

    Why don't you just ask Aero? It's probably 18", as the 40 is 19 and I think the 38 is 18.5.

    Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?

    :bored: Can we please just leave the VAT issue alone now. :deadhorse Aero have made their position clear and it's up to the prospective purchaser whether they buy or not.

    Insurrection Aero stock...

    I'm not in the US, but at the risk of offending those who think you're spamming, I'd actually be interested in seeing pics of the new stock, as It's always good to see real examples.

    schott 740n leather pea coat

    My quote from a similar thread: 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...

    A Life in Leather: profile of Aero founder Ken Calder

    So you're the John mentioned in the article? Then that has a nice closing-the-circle touch to it. I look forward to your write-up. What I like about Aero is the fact that we can all interact with the people who design and make the jackets, something a million miles away from the high...

    John, which is your old jacket and what's the history?

    Nice and interesting piece, Craig. I read it over cornflakes this morning.

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    The experienced machinist who made my hybrid is still there (I met her recently), so I think that other than any already implicated and let go, nobody noticed. I actually discussed this specifically with Julie the lead machinist yesterday at the factory, and she told me, and showed me why...

    Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?

    Surely raising the hide issue is a clear indication of honesty. Aero could easily have dealt with a very few individual cases on the quiet and this board would have had several hundred less generally negative posts. All Aero have done by being honest is subject themselves to expensive rebuilds...
