    Lawless Denim

    I've just read this thread now and what a kerfuffle. These guys should team up with AL. Tweedledum and Tweedledee :D

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    +1 TBH I'm happy that WL got what was coming for him. What has come out in the trial was appalling. I had always kept an open mind about this as to what was going on, as I've never been partisan in some of the jacket maker scraps that have lit up here. I was actually planning a jacket through...

    Aero A-2 'Unknown Maker' 1756 contract

    Okey-dokey, so it's fairly smartish in terms of delivery. Good to know, I was about to do the GW thing but yours has changed my mind. The 2 year wait thing was making for a little bit of hand wringing. Very exciting, shame it's so late otherwise I'd be on the phone to Aero right now...

    Thanks boys, not too long to have to stare at the letterbox!

    Aero A-2 'Unknown Maker' 1756 contract

    What's the wait time at the moment at Aero if anyone knows? Sloan? This thread was perfect timing as I just got the money for the sale of my old Merc back in Oz so I was looking to buy a new A-2. Sometimes the cosmos, the planets and all that malarkey line up and work in perfect harmony ;)

    Aero A-2 'Unknown Maker' 1756 contract

    Fanch I'm sold, I've already decided to splash out the extra 75 quid, it's a done deal after seeing Sloan's new A-2. I'll be calling tomorrow and having a chinwag about sizing, plus I have a little something that I've collected which I'll be asking Aero to add to the jacket ;) The joys of a...

    That is so cool I'm calling Aero this week to order a Real Deal in the same hide. Thanks for posting!

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    There were members putting up emoticons for "popcorn" whilst waiting for the next tidbit of information and others asking whether the next instalment of this case was more looked forward to than the next episode of "Game of Thrones". Bad taste indeed. I think Sloan's trial thread has been...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I am with Paddy 100%. Whilst I hope that the law comes down very heavily on WL for his despicable behaviour, I am saddened by the gleeful mob mentality which has imbued this thread. People putting up popcorn emoticons, comparing this to the next upcoming episode of Game of Thrones. These are...

    Eastman Leather Clothing USAAF A-2 Flying Jacket, Star Sportswear 28857

    Many thanks for posting all of this Charles and I agree, that 10th Star is an absolute peach. I have an idea that Paddy here had an ELC Star back in the day and raved about it.

    Terrible? I see them as worthwhile and stimulating pastimes and hobbies. Sure beats stamp collecting and bird watching :D

    Hey what a coincidence, I see you and me have the same interests :D

    What Are You Reading

    James Salter's "A Sport and a Pastime". Probably the most erotic yet beautifully written novel on lust. None of your "Fifty Shades of Grey" rubbish.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I've got into the habit of having a Gibson every evening which I love. The quest for the perfect martini is a wonderful thing.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Haven't been round here much of late but very pleased that this is coming to an end and that the facts are coming out. I've always tried to be bipartisan in the jacket maker wars and not judge anyone in these matters before the facts come to light. I was planning a jacket through AL in late 2013...

    Real McCoy's are closing down..?

    Sad news and always a loss for buyers when an option ceases to exist. I know they copped it pretty bad with the 2011 Chch earthquake which wouldn't have helped matters. I can see 2nd hand prices for their jackets headed skywards now.

    Inside a real WWII U-Boat!

    THE best war flick about WWII and that's coming from someone who is a mostly plane nut.

    What's For Breakfast...

    Good job Babydoll. So many people give their kids processed, rubbish food. Not only are you giving her good nutrition to make her grow up to be big and strong but you're also instilling in her what is good food and what is good to eat. Sadly so many people don't do that with their kids these...

    Everything in moderation James, you want to eat him not end up looking like him ;)
