    CX FQHH or CX Steerhide?

    Well one thing I have learnt is that it's more the tanning process than the leather. I'd always assumed that steer would be softer and a bit more 'floppy' but I now know better. Some of the jacket photos on here are outstanding. Personally I prefer the feel of a heavier weight jacket and the...

    CX FQHH or CX Steerhide?

    Hi and many thanks for your reply, very helpful. The 'suit of armour' comment meant I don't want to end up with a jacket that doesn't have any give in it. On the same hand I don't want one that hangs off me like a pair of cheap curtains :) It's clear I'm new to this end of the market when it...

    CX FQHH or CX Steerhide?

    Off up to Aero in a few weeks to get measured etc and have been researching here re leather differences. Despite looking and looking I can't really find an answer that would make me jump one way or the other. Looking at a Hudson and also a Windward jacket. The Windward would be done with a...

    Anyone been to Aero?

    Update time.. Spoke to a lady at Aero yesterday re booking a visit. Turns out the showroom isn't open until 1st June so, appt made and will be there then. She asked me re sizing etc and suggested that ideally I go there and they can measure me so there aren't going to be any boo boos. Said it...

    Vehicles owned by Outerwear members?

    Mine is a Renault Clio V6...19 yrs old now and as mad as a bag of monkeys. Apologies to those who know what they are but, for those that don't Renault built some for a one make race series in the mid 90's then had the madcap idea to make a wound down version for the road. Instead of rear seats...

    Anyone been to Aero?

    Was fairly undecided between a Hudson or a Northeaster. Then I found this...decision made! .

    Anyone been to Aero?

    That's great, thank you. I'm hoping that within a few months we might be heading back towards reality. Time will tell.

    Anyone been to Aero?

    Sometime in the next 3 to 4 months I'll be looking to get an Aero Hudson. Rather than throw £800ish on-line I'm the old fashioned sort who likes to see and touch expensive (to me) clothing which leads to the question in the header. On their site it mentions a showroom. I know I could call and...

    Wearing leather jackets in the rain

    Interesting to read the comments on this as have always tried to avoid getting any of mine wet. No logical reason I suppose and I might change my mind and not worry so much about it.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Currently away from home so had to 'borrow' an internet pic. When home these are my go to boots. Trickers Burford.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I'll be the first to admit it's nothing spectacular but I've wanted one of these for a while now. Made in 1998. Picked it up for £120.

    Cross zip nation

    Realising I might need my flame suit on for this but here goes.... Not a true aficionado when it comes to leather jackets, yes I like them a great deal and have a few but nothing really off the mainstream. Decided I fancied a cross zip so decided to go for the Wested one. Yes, cheap and...

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    Have spent (or wasted) a fair amount on a couple of pairs of TRM chinos. One pair is the US Army Officer ones and have just ordered the full cut work ones. I think these should go well with leather jackets and, as the OP says, will make a nice change from jeans.

    The Real McCoy jeans,

    Thought it maybe worth an ask as looking to pull the trigger on a pair of these.... https://therealmccoys.com/collections/bottoms/products/joe-mccoy-lot-900?variant=34963788988577 Has anyone had any experience of them? I suppose it's more of a query re the quality of the denim they use...

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Wore it with a thickish sweater underneath and it felt fine. I wouldn't honestly class it as a very cold weather coat though.
