    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    Good morning, Gents. :) I haven't noticed any hatred towards black leather jackets on here, nor should there be any. There are a number of good reasons why some of us including myself prefer wearing black jackets including: 1) Black is great in terms of "slimming" characteristics...

    Anyone have the Schott 28" Brown Antique Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585?

    I'm not sure if you had a chance to read all the feedback posted on the Schott site for that particular jacket you're looking at but one of feedbacks definitely caught my eye... specifically the one where they say that the side buckles are not really functional (all show and no go). If I were...

    An interesting Aero leather conversation I had today...

    Thanks for your very informative post, my friend. :) Please keep in mind that I wasn't agreeing nor disagreeing with the folks I met who referred to the marketing in your area as word of mouth... I have no opinion on the subject but figured it would be an interesting topic to chat about...

    Perverting Aero's intentions?

    Modifications made are quite a common thing... I definitely don't feel that they "pervert" anything by any means. Look at it this way... you're spending your own money on an Aero product and Aero I'm sure wants to see you and their other customers happy. If Aero had any concerns about their...

    An interesting Aero leather conversation I had today...

    So the last couple of days I've been in downtown DC for a Federal IT conference and had the pleasure of meeting some British nationals who are execs for a particular company that was there. During the course of the conversation the topic turned to leather jackets (I was wearing the same jacket...

    New Vanson motorcycle jacket

    Anytime, my friend. It's nice to be able to chat with you on here now versus on your eBay thread where we first chatted, lol. Where in Florida are you moving to? My retired aunt along with her daughter and her husband and child all live in Melbourne. One of the neat things about Florida...

    Aero leather jacket, not sure how to measure myself

    I remember reading (wish I could remember exactly where) that to measure sleeve length you take your measuring tape and start at the back of your neck at the base, stretch the tape down to the shoulder then down your arm to your wrist. For me that came to 34" sleeve length and this was the...

    Two Coat Questions

    1) What color is the tux and hat? If black then I'd personally go with a black trenchcoat or one of those waterproof microfiber long coats in a dark color to flow better with the dark color of the tux and hat. 2) How about a leather blazer? I assumed when you said no blazers, sportcoats...

    Another Highwayman jacket?

    I see one very subtle difference... the name of that jacket is the "Highway Man", not Highwayman. The Highwayman from Aero is such a popular style that you're bound to see many copies of that style elsewhere from other companies. :)

    Californian Leather "Styled by Ronnie Reagan"

    Beautiful jacket, Baron! On a separate note, it was a good thing that AlanC made the clarification point that he did, otherwise this thread would be flooded with pics of Ronald Reagan. :D

    Aero red cotton drill cloth lining - pics?

    Haha! Either that or the famous McRaider clan tartan (Raider as in American Football Oakland Raiders NFL team with the black/silver team colors). :D

    Aero red cotton drill cloth lining - pics?

    Hi Cooperson... thank you so much for the link... I couldn't agree with you more, my friend. :)

    Aero red cotton drill cloth lining - pics?

    Thanks Nizdar! Beautiful jacket and lining you have there. It's interesting that the lining is called "black watch"... one would think a more descriptive name would be "green watch" given that you see more green than you do black. Nonetheless it's a beautiful lining with your black jacket...

    Aero red cotton drill cloth lining - pics?

    Hello Gents... I've been researching various options for the interior lining for my Aero jacket currently on order (again I'm not revealing the specific jacket since it's something that hasn't been done before (so I was told anyhow) and I want to pleasantly surprise you all) and I read a post...

    G-1's for uniform wear

    Thank you so much for the explanation! Makes sense now to me. :D So G-1's and A-2's were U.S. specific. What about the British military? Do they have similar leather jacket types?

    G-1's for uniform wear

    Welcome to the forum and thanks for serving our country. :) I too have a young infant (4 months) and you're absolutely right... parenthood is definitely a wonderful thing. I used to live in Colorado as well (Englewood)... where do/did you live in Colorado? While we're on this topic of...

    Langlitz Cascade

    Beautiful jacket! You mentioned you had an Aero Highwayman on order... were you able to cancel the order or is it still on order? I thought I recall reading somewhere that once you place an order with Aero then you cannot cancel it. Enjoy the jacket... it looks great on you. :)

    J. Crew's take on a vintage style...

    Great to meet you! Annapolis isn't far at all from where I live. I see you're a vendor... what do you sell? If you're ever in my area please do visit. :) Navin
