    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Hi Salv I'd love to pop by but it might be a bit late for me to get a sensible train back up to the Frozen North. Our head office is in Brentford and I'll be passing through central London on my back to Euston, but it takes 4.5 hours to get back door to door :( . If I don't get the...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Ah, if only! I'm in London that day on business so I'm having to ask my girlfriend to wait in for it - she's very patient with me! It's going to be like pulling teeth waiting to get home on the train that night...

    Well, in true ParcelForce fashion, they did me wrong.... They tried to deliver it today while there was no-one in, but instead of leaving instructions for re-delivery, they left it at a random Post Office way over the other side of town :rage: As I don't drive it was going to be a major...

    A-2 Choices, Flightsuits vs. Flightjacket.com

    Hi there - I'm coming late to this one, but I got a seal brown hh A2 from US Authentic towards the end of 2004 and it's been great. I went a size up so I could get a thick jumper under it and I must admit it's a bit long in the sleaves because of it. Apart from that it's been great and is just...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Hi there, I should have mine Friday at the latest and I'll post some pictures over the weekend - hopefully that'll help you make up your mind which colour to go for, although it should look like Bagger's (his is the one that pushed me over the edge!). If it helps any, Amanda at Aero said the...

    Well, I got an email yesterday saying it's on the way.:) The bad news is there isn't going to be anyone in to recieve it until Friday!

    No word yet, I'm getting to the stage where I want to give them a ring but as I asked for some non-standard things like the change of lining I suppose I should be patient. Hopefully it'll be this week!

    Hi Baggers - I saw yours on the COW site and was very impressed, I think that's when I started wanting one. If my girfriend asks why I have to have one, I'm blaming you!

    Looking good! No word yet from Aero on my order, apart from the usual automatic order confirmation via email. Hopefully that means all the measurements/specifications are ok and they're getting on with it.

    Well, it's ordered! Brown FQHH, brown cotton drill lining and an inside pocket. I'll ost some pictures (weather permitting) when it arrives. Thanks again for all the advice!

    One more thing I meant to ask, how does the Barnstormer look with a Fedora? I've got an Adventurebilt on the way (should arrive next week) so it'd be nice if they complimented each other.

    Hi guys - thanks for all the cool advice, I'm going to do the deed this weekend and order a Brown FQHH Barnstormer with the cotton drill lining and an inside pocket. I'll let you all know how it turns out! Salv - hope the wearther cools down there in the South for you so you can get the...

    Hi Paul, I did the same thing last year. Same jacket, same colour! I like the black, but just fancy a longer jacket.

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Hi Salv Thanks for advice! I must confess I was leaning towards the cotton drill but Amanda said the alpaca was the most popular so I had a few doubts. How's the cordovan look? I've been playing with leather samples Aero sent out all weekend and have finally chosen the standard brown HH...

    Aero Barnstormer - Advice Needed! Hi everyone, I've planning on buying a brown Horsehide Aero barnstormer in a few days and, having read a few posts here from people who have them, wondered if anyone has advice as to which lining to get. The standard Alpaca wool sounds great but I'm a bit...

    The A-2 from flightjacket.com & Aero Leather edward-bay store?

    I'd agree with all of that, except that I found Shaul fine to deal with. His answers were to questions were often brief, but always prompt and the tone was fine.:)

    The A-2 from flightjacket.com & Aero Leather edward-bay store?

    Hi there - I got a custom A2 in Seal Brown horsehide from US Authentics (flightjacket.com) last year and it's been great. I wanted something that looked authentic but also had the practical side covered by adding inside and handwarmer pockets. Now I'm aware that may seem like a mortal sin to...

    Tilley Fedora...Replaced for free

    I've got to say I like my tilley hat for hiking etc., it's not very stylish but does the job. Also, their customer service is second to non, I recently bought one of their blazer style travel jackets and had a problem with the sizing being marked wrong - they fell over themselves to sort it...
