    Concerns regarding my Aero Bootlegger

    Thanks for the kind words, randooch. I'm still a long way off from both Conrad and Nabokov, but I get a bit of solace knowing that Conrad didn't even start learning English until his late twenties. Who knows, maybe in another 20 years or so I'll come up with a new "Lord Jim"... Johann...

    Redskins B32 jacket

    I own a cafe-racer inspired fashion jacket by them, which is a couple years old. Great quality leather for a "mall" jacket: very thick goatskin, which has survived a couple of close encounters with the asphalt without any noticeable damage (cycling to work in a city overrun by cars has its...

    Critique my next Aero order - LHB.

    I do apologize for having missed the point of your question. In any case, the answer is still "yes", they will *occasionally* try out a new design suggested by a customer. The only example I know is the new "radjacke", which was designed and "test-driven" by a VLJ/FL member. I think the limiting...

    Critique my next Aero order - LHB.

    Yessir! Aero is very accomodating to custom requests, often with no or minimal extra charge. When ordering my bootlegger, I requested to add an extra strip of leather at the inside bottom hem; to eliminate the breast pocket; to base the pattern on the 1930s halfbelt for a slimmer fit; and to...

    Critique my next Aero order - LHB.

    Cheers for the comments! Jan: ahem, yes - I think you've noticed that I have taken a fair bit of inspiration from several of your designs. Remember though, imitation is a form of flattery! (I still think that the pictures of your Cheyenne are amongst the best fit-pics of Aero that I've ever...

    Concerns regarding my Aero Bootlegger

    Hi Griff, that's a great-looking highwayman. The jerky panel on my Bootlegger is even more dramatic than your sleeves, I think. I'll try and take some pictures of it on Saturday or Sunday - it might take a bit of fiddling with the timer-function of my digital camera though.

    Critique my next Aero order - LHB.

    Hi all, I'm in the process of designing my second Aero jacket. I already have a FQHH Bootlegger with cotton drill lining, which is short and trim, ending right on the middle of my belt. For my next jacket, I was thinking of going for a slightly longer design, with a warmer, thicker lining. I...

    Concerns regarding my Aero Bootlegger

    Thank you for your replies, gentlemen. I must admit that I was betting on two horses at once here, i.e. I sent the exact same questions to Amanda at Aero. She just got back to me with a reply, basically confirming everything posted in this thread so far – that the jerky horsehide is in no way...

    Concerns regarding my Aero Bootlegger

    G'day ladies and gentlemen - long time lurker (about 3 years in fact!), first-time poster. I apologize in advance for 1) the fairly negative tone of this post - I have some problems with a recently-bought Aero jacket, which are making me wonder if I did the right thing spending such a large...
