So, I've exchanged a few emails with Amanda.
She said to go ahead and send them the jacket in spring and they'll sew on the leather strip.
I'm assuming she won't charge me for it because when I ordered it, Mark told me I wouldn't be charged for it.
We'll see.
BTW, the jacket is breaking in...
Elnico,
Sorry for your unfortunate first experience with Aero.
As for the price increase, I'm sure if you ask, Amanda will honor the pre-price increase price (did I say that right) of any jacket you order, as well as refund your return shipping cost.
As for the jacket itself, no company is...
Griff,
The stitching on your jacket does look wonderful like you say.
I gotta think that Goat is easier to sew than FQHH due to its suppleness.
The stitching on my FQHH Highwayman is good, but not like your jacket.
Some stitches are very close together, others are just right, and some of the...
Johnny,
I shot Amanda an email yesterday asking her advice.
They're closed till the 7th so I'll let you all know what she advises after she responds.
I think your suggestion about bringing the lining up 2" is a great idea.
I also agree that the strip should be de rigueur for all of Aero's...
As promised, pix of me wearing the Highwayman.
The sleeves look slightly short in the pix because I had my arms out and forward.
Plus, the jacket is still stiff so the wrinkles at the elbows don't always relax when my arms are straight.
In reality, the sleeves are perfect.

I remember that Amanda mentioned this to me once via email.
Maybe I'll go with the courderoy too.
At least if I go full width, it won't be too stiff.
Lenny
Coop,
Thanks for your empathy.
I was a bit disappointed when I opened the box, but since the jacket is pretty much perfect besides the leather strip, I'm not that concerned.
It will be perfect soon enough.
BTW, great idea to touch base with Amanda prior to the build. :eusa_clap
Griff...
It's FQHH.
As for pix of me with it on, I'm working on it.
You know how wives are: "Take a picture of you with it on? No, that's stupid" :rolleyes:
If I have to, I'll do the old self portrait thing in the mirror. :)

Just got my new Highwayman.
If you'll recall, I'd purchased one earlier in 09.
It had some aspects which were less than perfect for me, so I sold it and ordered another one thru Mark Moye.
Mark is absolutely the best person in the world to work with.
After thousands of questions, changes of...
Beautiful jacket:eusa_clap
I especially love the lining.
What is it called?
And is it cotton or wool?
BTW, my new Highwayman should be arriving before New Years.
Lenny
This sounds trite, but all I want is for my wife and daughters to live happy lives in good health.
I'd also like an end to all wars, terrorism etc.
But we all know that's not going to happen any time soon. :(
Peace to all.
Happy Holidays.
Lenny
Can't tell you much about the Enfield other than I love the styling.
I do, however, own a CSRX Motorcycle Jacket.
Finishing on it is first rate as is the fit.
Lovely thick, waxy leather.
I never saw their Firenze leather, but it looks intriguing.
