    On the slippery slope here!

    Er..... I can assure you there is no underlying issue. It's more a case of over the years trying to find clothes that I like that wasn't easy especially in the pre-internet days. Over the last 12 months and a great deal of searching I found I can nail down where I can get what I want quite...

    On the slippery slope here!

    I agree with you there however, with being 68 in 2 months pacing may not be to good an idea :). The idea with the Sheene and the Windward joining an A2 and a flying jacket I already have was to try and cover all options. If I decide I like a biker jacket on me I'll hold off until next Spring...

    On the slippery slope here!

    Not overly surprised it's happening so not complaining! Only started off looking at a Hudson from Aero....ended up binning that idea and ended up getting a Sheene and a Windward that should be collected next month. That then grew to having a pair of Border Patrol Shearling boots put to one...

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    Interesting thread and have only just seen it! Size wise I'm a 43" chest and a 33" waist and also quite broad shouldered. Most of my clothing is sized either L or a 42. I like stuff to fit as opposed to hanging off me although 'fit' doesn't mean the 'sprayed on' look. To give an example I have...

    The Plan

    I had a plan. Then it went out of the window. Finding the sort of clothes I like, be it trousers, shoes, shirts,coats or jackets on the High St is impossible. The beauty of the lockdown meant spending hours on line looking for stuff....which I managed to find. My only leather jacket was a...

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    Oh I agree, the black is very nice without a doubt. However, when I went up to Aero I had the tobacco in mind as already have a black A2. On seeing the tobacco it was definitely going to be that. I feel it's worth waiting the additional 3 or 4 weeks as until mid September it'll too warm to...

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    No, it's more of the old fashioned way of fitting this type of sole (according to my local shoe man anyhow). The soles are Goodyear welted and I think it's more of a throwback putting the screws in. The screwheads are in the bottom of the treads.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Have a pair of these sat up at Aero to try on when I go up to collect my jackets, if they fit then they'll be coming back home with me. According to the blurb they're made from exceptionally heavy Chromexcel Steerhide so should be quite substantial.

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    A slight hitch... Turns out the only Badalassi for the Sheene they have in stock is black. The tannery is closed for August so unable to get any tobacco until early September. In the meantime the Windward is under way and the lining etc for the Sheene will also be prepared. What I will say is...

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    Thank you for that. Spoken to Chloe this morning and with having everything needed in stock it should indeed be a couple of weeks.

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    Has seemed like a long, long wait however, just had a mail from Chloe @ Aero asking me to confirm the measurements. Once I have sent confirmation the jackets will be forwarded to production. She said they cannot give a precise date when they'll be done so have asked for an approximate one...

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

    I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Aero and try one on. All my trousers,chinos and jeans are high waisted and wide legged and the additional inch to the length meant it covered my belt when I leant forward.

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

    I will do. On the Windward I stayed with the alpaca lining and storm cuffs but added an inch to the length and added an Irvine collar, making it more of a Winter jacket.

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

    Now patiently (sort of) waiting for 2 AeroLeather jackets.. 1 x Sheene in tobacco badalassi with a few modifications and 1 x Windward in brown FQHH also with a few modifications. 14 to 16 week wait!

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    At last, the day of my visit to Aero arrived! The drive was in the region of 6.5 hrs so travelled up to just North of Newcastle last night (for the benefit of UK residents), stayed overnight and arrived at Aero at 0930 this morning. What a place! The welcome was great and the way they look...

    CX FQHH or CX Steerhide?

    Less than 2 weeks to go until I get up to Aero! The Sheene is quite firmly nailed on I think, just need to see, feel and try on to decide on the leather, I like the look of the tobacco badalassi although definitely going up open-minded and will decide on the day. Aero sent me a couple of...

    wash your jeans?

    This thread makes me smile, simply as it makes me think back to early this year when I bought my first ever pair of raw denim jeans. I bought myself a pair of RMC 14oz denim wide cut, high waisted jeans. To be honest 14oz meant absolutely nothing to me, I just liked the cut. Anyhow they arrived...

    CX FQHH or CX Steerhide?

    Well, I'm sure I'm not the first to go down this route however, how many of us know what we want then change our minds somewhere along the way. New(ish) member here so learning fast! On Aero's IG page the is a pic of a natural HH 'modified cafe racer' as they've called it, have spoken to them...
