It's great to see a Good Wear out in the real world! My only problem is that now I'm spending my time figuring out the differences between chrome tanned seal brown horsehide (from Horween so likely like Aero), veg tanned seal brown horsehide from Japan, and then the other veg tanned goat seal...
Last year they had the Carney (the two tone horsehide) at Barneys. So when it enviably went on sale I saw a few of them going out the door for less then $400. That's still real money but for a rocking cool horsehide jacket? Good deal. Wish they had been in my size!
What I like about the...
What leather is that? Oil Pull Horsehide or is it caused by the lighting?
Quick question on Aero Oil Pull. Isn't all chromexcel a "oil pull" leather? So wouldn't any of the normal Horween leather be classified as "oil pull" and if so what does that make the Aero? Just a name for oiler...
I dig the Aero. It's a clear classic look and with the D pockets it's a step above casual. Thing I've never liked about the A-2 was the darn storm cuffs. I hate them with the passion of the burning suns. So the Indy is attractive because it has many of the nicer parts of the A-2 without the...
Great boots. I picked up a pair of Thorogood Roofers and I'm very impressed at the quality. I think they're better then Red Wings, Chippewa, or Wolverines.
Nissle: In my opinion the moc toes are roughly at true to size. They have a good deal of flexibility as they have a removable insole...
Filsons great. I've got a whole bunch of their stuff and I'm just waiting for colder weather so I can use it! One quick thing to remember about Filson is that they're WAY more then generous in sizing. I'm a 40R/M and I roll with whatever is the smallest I can find in Filson with room to...
I've never had that much luck with Ebay using this method but have had a huge amount of success at secondary stores or consignment places. It's just hard to look through hundreds of leather jackets hoping to hit an Aero! :)
Those all look great on you HoosierDaddy but I think it also helps it illustrate the problem with Aero and measurements. I'm a true 39 so most of my jackets are 40R and most of them are 19.5-21 inches pit to pit and on the leather ones 19.5 - 20 inches across the shoulders. Even my Vanson Buco...
