    Aero Windward or Montgomery??

    As said above the elastics are not noticeable at all once the jacket is being worn. I was initially dubious about them but don't even notice them now.

    Well, it's been a long, long wait!

    With a bit of luck and a following wind these should be fine. With being pre-washed as part of the treatment they state very little or no shrinkage. I'm afraid the references re Good Wear have gone straight over my head :oops:

    Well, it's been a long, long wait!

    Around 6 or 7 months ago I saw that was, for me, the perfect pair of jeans on the RMC site. Being a very fussy old bloke when it comes to clothes they looked, and going by the description, absolutely perfect so having ummed and ahhhed at the price decided to buy them. Clicked my size only to...

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    Only my opinion but I feel the Sheene looks better if it just covers your belt.

    Vintage WW2 Irwin Jacket for daily wear?

    Sorry but if you went out and about wearing that it'd look as though you lived in a skip. As already suggested, just get a good repro.

    What is wrong with me?

    I can see where you're coming from on this! Only been on the leather wagon for a couple of years now and ended up with 6 x Aeros. 1 xWindward, 2x Sheene, 1 x Happy Days, 1 x Cross Zip and 1 x Hudson. I appreciate I may be missing out on stuff from other makers but Aero have nailed my fit...

    Aero Hudson size 44

    Reduced to £400. No low ball offers thanks as it's already below half price and, as stated in the OP it's as new. If it doesn't go then it'll just stay in its cover!

    It's strange how on forums such as this we rarely, if ever, get to meet other members yet a connection can still be felt. RIP Van.

    Aero Hudson size 44

    Back length from the collar seam is 30.5" It's the only pic I have of it and you can see how poor the camera is on my phone! Exactly the same as this and, as said, only worn twice. I'm only down the road from you in sunny Derby. https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/mens/hudson/mto029

    Aero Hudson size 44

    Have only worn this twice and decided it isn't really me. Have mailed Aero to see if they want it to stock as a used jacket but they're closed until 5th Jan so thought it worth posting here. As title, it's an Aero Hudson in tumbled CXL Steerhide in Cordovan colour. P to P is 24" Shoulders are...

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

    This arrived today from British Sheepskin. I went down to Somerset to see Gary (the owner) got measured up etc, had the length reduced to my preference and the pockets lifted almost to where they usually are on a parka and left him with it. In my eyes he's nailed it big style! B3 style but...

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    Height: 5'7.5" Chest: 49" relaxed, 50" expanded. Stomach: 53" (Ughhhh...) Waist: 49" Sleeve: 24.5" Desired jacket length: 27" Ok, may feel like a whack on the chin but it's anything but! Where you're intended weight loss comes from is something you can't decide. When it comes to fat loss your...

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    If you were to buy an off the peg jacket from any maker you'd likely have some part of the fit you wouldn't like. If you were to speak with the manufacturer re sizing and listen to their advice then you'd nail the fit. No experience with SB but have 6 Aero jackets and fortunately I live in the...

    Pre-war Irvin or AN-J-4, which one to choose??

    Hi, I'm afraid they won't. I asked the same question and they keep their military patterns period correct which is fair enough although frustrating.

    White D-1 Jacket and Aero Refusal

    Exactly this. I spoke to Aero regarding having an AN-J-4 made with the ginger/ brown wool skin they use on their RAF jackets. Was told they like to keep their Military jackets as original as possible which I saw as a fair point. I have 5 Aero civilian jackets all bought within the last 2.5...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    First time wearing it out and about today. Aero Hudson in Cordovan CXLSH. Looking at the pic quality I really must get a new phone :)
