    Which Aero Jacket looks best in Black ? - Need Opinions / Suggestions

    I have HWM in black FQHH and a Dustbowl in tumbled black. Love both of them. I also have a Pioneer in kudu. I think the choice comes down to what you are looking for from a style perspective. There is a decent amount of styling overlap between the Dustbowl and the Pioneer. If you're looking...

    Breaking in Selvedge Denim - 14 oz. vs 21 oz.

    I started experimenting with selvedge a while back (leather jackets must be a gateway to selvedge jeans). I am not an expert by any means, but the one piece of advice that I would give if you are going to commit to wearing them as long as possible without washing is really WEAR them. I wore my...

    Pegasus Luftwaffe Pics and Review

    Thanks... my jacket arrived in about 6 weeks. I did not have to pay for the extra length in the sleeves. I did ask about adding an inch to the jacket length out of habit. That would have incurred the extra charge. After taking a few measurements I decided to go with standard length.

    Katniss leather jacket desired

    Billy Reid normally does a "Quail Jacket" as part of their fall / winter line. It is waxed cotton rather than leather but does have a poacher's pocket for legitimacy. http://www.billyreid.com/product/quail-jacket-dark-oak.html

    Pegasus Luftwaffe Pics and Review

    I suppose that it is only fair that if I'm going to learn about the jacket from the site that I share some pics. My initial impression is that I really like the velveteen. It doesn't seem to be clingy at all (I should note that the sleeves are still satin). I will be interested to see how the...

    Pegasus Luftwaffe Pics and Review

    Great looking jacket! Coincidentally, I received mine this week too (that I was encouraged to purchase based on your original post on this style). It looks like you saved me the trouble of having to take pictures today. I went with their dark chocolate steerhide instead of the horsehide...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Raw refers to the denim being unwashed / untreated during production. Selvedge refers to the weave of the fabric. Selvedge jeans are not always raw. Raw jeans are not always selvedge. Here are raw jeans 101 and selvedge jeans 101...

    Anyone ever order an Aero midweight horsehide jacket? Or Aero's Sheene?

    Yes... when Aero had the product listed on their site, they described the leather as being like butter and I would say that is accurate. Out of the box, the mid-weight was definitely more comfortable. My HWM is fairly well broken in now... I wouldn't say that it is less comfortable, but it is...

    Aero/Insurrection Dustbowl

    Thank you for the compliments. Fanch, the sleeve length is right at 27". During the order process Wade mentioned to me that their average customer is around 6'2" so the measurements on my order wound up being the same as their stock lengths (26" body / 26.75" sleeves). He did have me double...

    Aero/Insurrection Dustbowl

    Thanks! Unfortunately, we're into triple digits here in the metroplex. I'll need to plan some trips to cooler climes if I want to get any real wear before September / October. Oh the pains of being a coat addict in Texas (or Florida)!

    Aero/Insurrection Dustbowl

    Thank you! I actually need to sell a few jackets. I am officially out of closet space and storing jackets on the bed in my guest bedroom seems like a temporary solution :) Thank you and excellent eye! 25.5"

    Aero/Insurrection Dustbowl

    nabottle, I hope you don't mind me piggybacking on your thread. I thought it might be useful to show some variations on this jacket. I went with tumbled black FQHH. The pictures don't do a great job capturing its character (I was struggling with light in the photos today). It also looks like...

    Anyone ever order an Aero midweight horsehide jacket? Or Aero's Sheene?

    Thank you... I have been quite happy with the jacket. Unfortunately, I don't have a very exciting story about it. The style used to be listed under the "Other Hides" section. It does look like they still have the pattern listed as available in heavy steerhide...

    Anyone ever order an Aero midweight horsehide jacket? Or Aero's Sheene?

    No problem... happened to have a few on file. This will give you an idea of how supple it is: And a few more pictures at this link: http://s867.photobucket.com/user/nwanzenr/slideshow/Aero%20Cafe%20Racer I hope to find time to post pictures of the tumbled FQHH Dustbowl this...

    Anyone ever order an Aero midweight horsehide jacket? Or Aero's Sheene?

    I have a cafe racer in the mid-weight hide (along with a HWM in FQHH and a Dust Bowl in tumbled FQHH). If I had to do it all over again, I would still order it in that hide. It's a nice change up from the FQHH. Out of the box it offers the supple / soft finish that you are looking for...

    Great looking jacket... I have a version in tumbled black en route. You've just made me a bit more impatient with your pictures!

    RM Williams Craftsman for me... although I just noticed that they sold a stake in the company to Louis Vuitton Group.

    New Aero Dust Bowl in rough but not too rough Kudu

    Great looking jacket! I have a Pioneer in Kudu and love the hide (scars and all). To me it feels thicker than FQHH but in a "spongy" way that makes it very supple.
