    Leather Police Jackets

    I've been keeping my Aero jacket that's currently on order with an arrival date within the next few weeks a surprise, but after seeing your post here I'll "spill the beans" somewhat... yes, my Aero jacket to be is in fact the Aero NYPD jacket but heavily customized to make it even more unique...

    New Aero Veste de Rallye in black FQHH

    Beautiful jacket, Lear! My Aero jacket should hopefully arrive within the next few weeks so I can finally join the ranks of you and the other Aero jacket owners here. :) Few questions... how do you know who made your jacket? Does Aero put a tag on the jacket... in your case, "Made by...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    Don't think of it as you bugging him... you're not bugging anyone... you're a paying customer and you're entitled to follow up with the vendor for status updates. As far as I'm concerned he's a nice guy and I've contacted him frequently over the last few months... he doesn't seem like the kind...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    In my case, because my particular Aero jacket wasn't listed on eBay i contacted Mark... also I would never shell out that much money without talking to the seller first which is what I did and was then told I had the option of putting down a deposit which I did. I understand your point about...

    New Highwayman too short. Help me correct this.

    I agree with HoosierDaddy... 3" should definitely suffice. Wow... I had no idea that their steerhide was stiffer than the horsehide... I always assumed horsehide was stiffer than steerhide. I learn something new each day. ;)

    New Highwayman too short. Help me correct this.

    I have no problems with opening ourselves to criticism but there is a proper way to do so without being rude or offensive in the process. That is one extreme whereas the "candycoated nice" approach is another extreme... which I'm not favoring either. Bottom line is that the OP realizes why his...

    New Highwayman too short. Help me correct this.

    I already did... please refer to mine as well. As far as I'm concerned we're all friends here and deserve to be treated with respect by everyone including you... sadly your post didn't come across in a respectful way towards Griff. Your loss. Griff... I hope you get things worked out...

    New Highwayman too short. Help me correct this.

    Tony, I too deal with contractual things daily and I'm certainly not asking you to comment on anything that you don't wish to. My point, which you might have missed, is that perhaps your comments to Griff were a little on the harsh side... he feels bad enough that his jacket didn't turn out...

    New Highwayman too short. Help me correct this.

    Tony, based on your comments which I bolded above, are you implying that GriffDeLaGriff didn't trust Amanda and basically played the role of tailor himself? After reading this thread carefully I don't feel he did that at all. Take me for example... I have an Aero leather jacket on order and...

    New Highwayman too short. Help me correct this.

    I'm sure the hide is usable... it will just take time for it to break in and feel more supple, that's all. If you're going to put sunglasses in your pocket you might consider putting them in a hard case first then putting them in your jacket pocket, assuming it's big enough of course. I...

    The Few

    Welcome! I've never heard of this company but the jacket in the link you provided looks great. I laughed though at the typo on their site... "Japanese Hose Hide"... my area of specialization in IT is in quality assurance so I tend to pick up on typos rather easily. :D

    Just bought a cotton B-15 jacket

    Nice jacket! Love the hat too. I know absolutely nothing about hats other than the baseball style caps I've worn throughout my life, but I did manage to venture into the Hats subforum here and was quite attracted to the Akubra Federation IV but in the gray/carbon color. I have so much to...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    That shouldn't be the case with me... my jacket is heavily customized and I've been repeatedly told that my jacket should arrive in June - exactly 12 weeks since I placed my order.

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I ordered directly from Mark versus eBay... that way I didn't have to pay the full price up front and I could pay him a deposit.

    Pops Leather Jackets - Any Good?

    Thanks for the info! I just noticed that their U.S. store is located about a half hour from my in-laws home in Pittsburgh... I'll definitely have to visit that store the next time I'm up there. :)
