    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Thanks for the info, tbirdfan. :) Audi's are beautiful too... I got quite a number of friends in the Audi USA car club and a few Audi guys I know from the car shows I compete at. Someday I'd like to get an Audi R8 in silver with the carbon fiber blades on the sides of the car. As you...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Good morning, Fletch. Feel free to post the jacket pictures here if you like... assuming of course that the jackets have a bi-swing back. :)

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Good morning, captain. That would be my first inclination too... about the excess wrinkles being due to over-sizing, however you would think that when I'm not wearing the jacket then the wrinkles/folds go away... they don't. Also when I bought this jacket at a flea market (spent only $20)...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Hi Gancho, I did see a few pictures on the Aero leather USA site of jackets with the bi-swing back but I really wanted to see pictures of these styles of jackets on the people wearing them. Hope you're doing well. :)

    My quest to find a Conmar Conmatic zipper for my vintage leather Irvin Foster jacket

    :( Ugh... I feel like crying. So I found a vintage 50s suede jacket on eBay for $25 plus about $10 for shipping and prior to buying the jacket the owner indicated that the Conmatic zipper length is 22.5 inches. I received the jacket a few days ago, used a seam ripper to carefully remove the...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Great pics, Andy!! Your bi-swing back, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't appear to be a "shoulder bi-swing back". In other words, a shoulder bi-swing back starts at the shoulders and ends at your armpits, however your bi-swing appears to extend farther down your back. The reason why I'm...

    For your consideration:

    Excellent point that Captain Caveman made about expecting a price break if it's imported from China, Pakistan, and I'll add India to that list too. :) I like the leather color of that jacket... not crazy about the interior lining color though.

    Gonna order Aero Highwayman

    Hey Andy! Haha... it's all good, bro. I know from personal experience how early morning-ness can affect us in so many ways. :D

    Gonna order Aero Highwayman

    Hey! Thanks for your message... congrats to your family on your daughter's wonderful accomplishment... I'm sure you all must be very proud. :) Someday I hope to see my birthplace... I remember about 15 years ago while I was in college I met someone from Tucson who moved here to Maryland and...

    Warm Weather

    My co-workers think I'm crazy... 80+ degree weather here and I've been wearing my vintage Irvin Foster leather jacket everyday now since I got "reunited" with it a week or 2 ago (reference my separate thread for more details). Surprisingly with that jacket on I don't feel hot wearing it...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Wow! So are you German of Indian descent? Are both your parents Indian (look Indian) as well? Very cool. :) My native language is English since I was born and raised here in the USA, however my family is from the southern part of India so we speak mostly Tamil/Kannada. I took a Hindi...

    Gonna order Aero Highwayman

    ^^^ Andy, I think you meant to say, "Mark", not Mike since Mark is the Aero USA representative. :) Too much coffee - congrats on making your decision! I too have an Aero leather jacket on order thru Mark... he's an absolute pleasure to work with. He keeps in constant touch with Amanda and...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Haha! No problem, Gancho! I figured it was probably just a typo on your part... no worries. :D Wie heissen "Olugabatta" auf Englisch? Sorry my Deutsch-speaking skills are a bit rusty... I haven't studied German language for 18 years so I've forgotten quite a bit. :)

    Hopefully if you wind up getting this jacket you can post up pictures of it... sounds like a beautiful-looking jacket. :)

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Guten Tag, Olli. :) I can't see your pictures at all... I'm wondering if my work site is blocking the website where you've hosted your pictures at. I'll check out your pictures when I get home and comment on them... I can only assume that your Cafe Racer looks "sehr, SEHR gut!" Oh, and my...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Danke, tbirdfan. Your jacket is BEAUTIFUL!! At first glance, I can't even see the bi-swing back on your jacket... unless you told me it's there I would have assumed your jacket did not have a bi-swing back. Is your bi-swing back a shoulder one where it starts at the top of your shoulder and...

    Why & when do we love the A-2 & other leather jackets?

    I don't know what's more cool... Phantom posting such an amazing picture or Silver Dollar's post that ended Phantom's quest so fast. :D Prior to joining this site a month ago I didn't know about the existence of A-2, G-1, etc but Phantom's picture really makes me like the A-2 jacket. I'm...

    Picture request... Aero leather jackets with bi-swing back

    Good day, Gents. I've seen a picture or two on the Aero Leather USA site of jackets with bi-swing back and did a search on the forum here to see if I could find more pics but didn't see anything. I'm curious to see pics of Aero leather jackets with the shoulder bi-swing back preferably...

    My quest to find a Conmar Conmatic zipper for my vintage leather Irvin Foster jacket

    Hey Andrew! It does help... thank you. :) If both the main zipper and the upper chest pocket zipper were both Conmatic zippers then I'd be more inclined to say that I must have the replacement main zipper be a Conmatic as well. But since the upper chest pocket zipper is different...
