    Buying a really short utility jacket

    Hmmm. Given that I tend to have a longish trunk (i'm 74.5 in. tall, but I only have a 34 in. inseam) maybe I should reconsider the short jacket. :eusa_doh: Paul

    Buying a really short utility jacket

    Hello- I’ve always liked the idea of a really short utility jacket, but I’m not sure what I’m gaining/losing. Here's an example: http://www.kentaurus.de/montgomery.html Would I have to have really long legs to make it work? Would my shirt always be showing? Would the wind blow...

    Now I remember why I hated the 1970's

    All- I was surfing for nice Aero utility pics when I found this. http://fox.hokkai.net/eztrading/special/detail/6%20Pocket%2070s%20Jacket.html IMO, they should stick to the 30's - 50's ;) This is more to my liking: http://www.kentaurus.de/route66.html Paul-

    Sizing Help

    Hello- I remember the days when I was always trying to put on weight! I don't know about the Aero skinny half belt, but I've owned others and they worked fine 'one size up'. I have an overcoat that's two sizes up and it does look funky without a heavy sweater. As for the timing, I would...

    Aero Bootlegger or Cropduster, what do you recommend ?

    Hello- I have a bootlegger and I really like it. I just sold a Cossack to fund a highwayman I'm going to order next week. If your still undecided, I really like the Route 66 http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/webapp/aeroleather/servlet/AeroViewPage?page=displayproduct&subcatid=38&prodid=1713...

    Vegetable Tanned Leather Break-in

    Ray- The fastest way to break in a jacket is to 'wear it wet.' Some people sponge on very warm water. I prefer to wear my jackets in a drizzle. Please note, however, that you can over do it. I've heard jacket linings shrinking when the got too wet. Paul-

    Ultimate EASTMAN (ELC) flying kit thread.

    Hello- Here are a few comments. Most will agree on some points. Others will want to saw off my head and send a video of the event to my mom. The good: Attention to detail (stiching is the correct color and material - even if another material would be more durable.) Very nice...

    Leather usage marks

    Hello- We forget that soldiers lived in their flight jackets. When I wear a leather jacket, I wear it from the house to the car, where I place it on a hanger, I spend 45 min in the car driving to work, where I wear it into the building, and then I place it on a hanger again... If I wore my...

    Lining for Aero Highwayman

    Speaking of grain, right about the time I bought my FQHH Cossack, Aero came out with a very grainy FQHH. http://fox.hokkai.net/eztrading/shopping/leather/aero/horsehide/detail/GrainRichCossack2.jpg I think they call it "Vintage Black" now. Does anyone have any experience with it? I seem...

    Lining for Aero Highwayman

    Hello- IMO, leather all by itself doesn't offer that much warmth. I personally prefer a jacket with a light lining. I live near San Francisco and the winter temps range from the 60's down to the 30's. Most of the time I wear a leather jacket with a minimal lining. If I'm watching a ball...
