    Aero Bike jacket.

    Thanks for the photos and info. I don't ride a bike and never will so, in reality, any jacket purchased would be for streetwear only. Have had a look on the Vanson site and am impressed with some of their stuff however, the thought of ordering a jacket from overseas fills me with dread if I'm...

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Buy 2? Any more good ideas? :) Ref the cut following period style, to be honest that's exactly what I want. Said in a previous thread somewhere that the period style suits my shape. 6ft2ins, 43/44ins chest, broad shouldered,33ins waist and low body fat. Trousers, chinos and jeans are...

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Does anyone have any more photos of their Aero cross zip biker jackets? It'd be good to see some in everyday life scenarios rather than go by the photos on their site alone plus they don't usually carry them in stock so may be easier to choose with seeing user photos here . Said in opening post...

    Of course, no worries.

    I might just wear it as it is for a while. If the squeaking drives me nuts I'll have a look at something.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    They are yes, first pair with leather soles for a long time. They didn't have the Dainite in stock. Once my shoe man is back from his hols and gets some Commando soles in they'll be going on. If I was planning on wearing them with a suit then the leather ones would be left on.

    Before I 'add to basket' on the Obenaufs I have some leather oil I used on a jacket previously....Leather Honey Superior Conditioning Oil. Bought it from the US and it didn't appear to do the jacket any harm. Ok to use that?

    Thanks for that info.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    These arrived today...excuse the bare leg but only have shorts on and wearing them in the house to break them in a little. The leather soles are like planks! Good practice I suppose for when my jackets get here :)

    I read somewhere on here a while ago that it's squeaks mainly where the stitching is. If I decide to put something on it should I just do the stitching area or all over it? The other option is to just wear it and let it quieten itself down I suppose.

    Cheers, Should have been ready mid-September but they were unable to get the leather until the first week in October.

    I'm a believer in changing soles to suit. The Trickers Burford only comes with either Dainite or Leather soles. The brown ones have had commando soles fitted and the black ones will shortly follow suit.

    Dragging an older thread up but have just gone through it......it's like torture! My Tobacco Badalassi Sheene should be ready by the middle of next month, has been a long, long wait.

    Already have a pair of these in Marron (Brown to me) but ordered a pair in black. Trickers Burford Plain Derby Boot....ironic as I live in Derby!

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Will already have a Sheene in tobacco badalassi, considered Vicenza for the cross zip but not sure if it'll be heavy enough for my taste in the cross zip style. Apart from the Sheene, it appears I have a thing with heavier leathers subconsciously :)

    That's looking like the favourite.

    Aero Bike jacket.

    As discussed elsewhere, when I go to Aero to collect my jackets I'll be getting sorted with ordering a cross zip biker jacket. Not a huge fan of bright things so likely to go with the nickel colour on zips and studs, just totally undecided on leather. I'll have a Schott cow hide A2, a Sheene...

    On the slippery slope here!

    Well, collection has gone back to approximately mid October. This is absolutely no fault of Aero, more down to availability of leather. Although it was ordered in July, the tannery for the Badalassi was closed for the whole of August as is usual for European holidays. Horween aren't yet running...

    On the slippery slope here!

    Many thanks for the varied responses however, just a couple of points worth reiterating. With regards to getting two jackets at once and preferring one over the other, one is a Sheene which will be more of a fair weather jacket, the other a Windward which will be ideal for wearing when it's a...
