I decided it was a foregone conclusion that I would own one of these, so I went ahead and put in an order for a large briefcase in dark tobacco brown. I can't wait!
Paddy, I am just curious what the wait time is for other folks so I can try and guess when mine may arrive. I don't really want to bug Mark or Aero, as it really won't make a difference. I think that this thread is just a bunch of guys anxiously awaiting their jackets and chatting here about...
Allyn Scura is another great recommendation. They also make brand new frames under their own label with classic designs.
I have some of these made up as shades: http://allynscura.com/legend.htm
For late 50s / early 60s check out Shuron: http://www.shuron.com
In particular, the ZYL was THE frame from that period: http://www.shuron.com/ronsir_zyl.htm
Shuron invented them and still makes them today.

I'm even the same size as you. I should have just come on down to NYC and nicked yours! lol

I don't think this thread is meant to criticize Aero in any way. I think it's just guys who are anxious to receive their coveted jackets. We are simply comparing notes with other's experiences and trying to figure when we may get our jackets.
I think this thread is a good idea, posting...
My opinion is that your hat is incredible! I'm glad you went for the 2.5" brim, it really does suit your face. That deep bash is beautiful!
Can we get a picture of the inside?
I got my glasses back from the optometrist. They are decidedly G15 and not green. She said that is the best the lab could do. I do like very much the way the tint looks while I'm wearing them, and it does look good with the tortoise frames. So I will keep them. But they are not green like...

I just bought the "Charlemagne" button for my jacket.
This site also has some interesting buttons, but they are expensive...
I bought a new navy blazer today. I'm not nuts about the shiny brass buttons. Do you have any suggestions and sources (namely sources!) for some cool buttons? Thanks
Those are great glasses! Did yours come with stickers on the lenses? If so, what did the sticker say?
I had some Wayfarers from around 1990 and some Clubmasters from around 1995. I'm so upset that I don't have either of them anymore.
