    Problems with Aero Jacket and Talon Zipper

    Hi everyone! This is an interesting thread. I have just recieved my long awaited A2 in heavy CXFQHH from Aero a few days ago. Maybe I´ll show it to you in a separate thread one of these days. The jacket came with the typical Talon Zipper, and I have had problems with it basically from day one...

    A2 Restoraiton Projece

    Hi everyone! Indeed, paint and dye are two separate things. As I got it, a dye will go inside the leather and colorize the material itself, while paint only adheres on the outside of the leather. I used this one: (Not the red one for the jacket, obviously… ;-) ) As mentioned, I applied...

    A2 Restoraiton Projece

    Hi Peacoat! Yes, the jacket definately looks better than before, which, to be honest, was not hard to achieve. My expectation is that the paint will start to wear off in the typical areas like along the seams and so on. If it does, it should result in a nice used look. If it comes off in large...

    A2 Restoraiton Projece

    Hi Guys, sorry for my late reply, but I did not get back to my PC earlier. I also thoght about wether to dye or paint the jacket. I looked around on the Internet quite a bit and came to the conclusion that dying a large piece of leather seems to be a delicate task. It seems to be quite hard to...

    A2 Restoraiton Projece

    Hi everyone, this is a kind of a "project" that I would like to share with you: A few days ago I came across this - let´s say "used looking" A2 on a classified website. It turned out to be an older Aero Leather A2 model made from goatskin. It is not a remake of a certain contract. A search on...

    Eastman A2 Slender - Collar fit?

    Hi Garry, I guess it is mainly a question of the general design of the jacket. A while ago I had the opportunity to try a Aero "Bronco". It also hat a high collar, even without the collar stand (as far as I remember). Thank you and best regards, Stefan.

    Eastman A2 Slender - Collar fit?

    Hi Gerry, thank you. I have seen your post in the classified. The Eastman "Slender" definately does not have a collar stand. But I am not sure if that is the only reason for the collar to stand or lay flat. From my experience, Eastman has tailored their jackets (at least the regular ones) quite...
