    OMG Aero trashtalkin'

    I find it funny and in all honesty anything that gives Lost World a little bit of marketing sounds like a good idea to me. I'd hate to lose one of the few companies in the world (not to be to dramatic) that is actual competition for Aero. Goodness knows Lost World really needs to rethink it's...

    Survey: Your Favorite A-2 Jacket (Original or Repro, Expensive or Cheap as Hell!)

    I've never been all that big a fan of the A-2. They have a tendency to balloon a bit and make a person look a good deal thicker then they are in actuality. The following is the only one I own and I bought it at a resale shop for a price that I just couldn't refuse. It's made in America from a...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    That boot is nothing short of amazing. I've been kicking around the idea of a two tone with Black Horoween Upper and Brown lower but you've taken it up a notch. Just one heck of a nice boot and I'm thinking of blatantly copying you. On a unrelated note. Anyone have a nice picture between...

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    I'm down with Indy (forgetting the new movie) but it's just to close to a costume for me. I'm a fan of traditional clothing but....

    Vote for a Tweed!

    The Stirlings great. Great color, contrast, and I think warmth. Tartan is so much more individual and it's one of the strengths of Aero. In my recent order I went with the mustard Harris Tweed example. It's the very same tweed my wife knitted me driving gloves with and with all the...

    My Aero Highwayman after 6 months wear

    That's a great jacket! The fits spot on and I think it still needs breaking in! Love the oil pull leather. I went with the seal jerky MM horsehide on a recent order but for the inevitable next jacket I'm seriously going to think about that one. Mid-weights just so much more usable even...

    The falling dollar and leather jacket prices

    Lots of American choices. Lost Words and Schott out of New York, Vanson in Fall River, MA, and of course Goodwear in Seattle.

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Bootlegger

    That's a heck of a jacket. I've been jumping back and forth on if I should make the jump. I'm a big fan of the bootlegger. Just a classic look but not so overly dramatic as some of the other Buco styles turn into. Totally agree with the zips that's the way to do it.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    That's an awesome boot. Bulls-hide upper and a rough out lower?

    Leather Police Jackets

    That's a great jacket. I've been thinking along those lines myself but haven't taken the plunge. To difficult to find quality and fit was often ignored. In terms of modern jackets. Lost Worlds makes a version very similar to that. Aero does as well even though it's a different style...

    My first Aero order (Highwayman)

    I was just thinking about ordering a jacket like this. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

    Lost Worlds Ryder: Just Arrived!

    Not to hijack the tread but I'm wondering if anyone has a Ryder in a 42R? If so could you do a quick measurement for me? I've put getting a Lost Worlds HH jacket on my to do list but am having a bit of difficulty figuring out sizing!

    Red Wing 9017 Chukka!! Anyone?

    Those are lovely. They're not just whiskey but whiskey cordovan. I think there is a certain amount of symmetry to walking around with horsehide jackets and boots both made from Horween Leather. I'm also a fan of: and Thing is with that level of Alden you're looking at 600+ new...

    The Filson Thread

    Not to get to political but I'm honestly hoping that some of the few high quality clothing manufacturers will rethink their outsourcing methods. It's just such a long list of people who have become disappointing. LL Bean, Lands End, Patagonia, Hunter, and North Face are all companies that once...

    Aero web site

    I'd second some of the previous posters. Highly detailed closeups, jackets on some standard person to get an idea of look, and more importantly a greater degree of access and details to the numerous special options available. Cuffs, zippers, tailoring, all sorts of strange modification would...

    The Filson Thread

    I'm becoming a fan of Filson. Purchased one of their briefcases a few months ago and I'm just continuously amazed at the level of quality in every single part of its construction. I'm heading up to Seattle and am looking forward to taking a look at some of their jackets!

    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    Now that it's deep in the heart of winter I thought I'd post another American made old fashioned boot. It's not the toughest, nor made with the highest quality skills or materials, but it's light, good in the rain, and a little bit distinctive. It's not as nice as they used to be but.... Use...

    Question about thickness of sheepskin jackets.

    The skin itself is usually reasonably thin sued. Sheepskin can be surprisingly tough but it isn't in the same league as horse hide or top grain cow. That's why you see shearling lining.

    Iron Heart/Aero Leather Collaboration

    It's certainly nice to see Aero getting a chance to expand its business. Anything that allows these types of niche companies to survive sounds good to me. Sounds crazy but for those of us buying from Aero, or others like it, directly this isn't all that big a deal. Many on this forum have...

    Obama's A2 ?

    You'd be amazed at how little control the President has on his day to day life. Everything from his shoes to his food is essentially assigned to him with only a little bit of choice on casual wear. The jackets are an example. Every President gets at least two. The leather version which is...
