    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    We've just had 5 minutes of sunshine and the depth of colour is great. The lining is the Minto tartan.

    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    With me being a newbie to leather jackets it's difficult to say. The only samples I have handled are CXLHH, CXLSH and Badalassi and have since realised the similarity between the samples and the actual jackets is poles apart! If there was a scale of stiffness with 0 being like lambskin and...

    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    This has just arrived. Tobacco Badalassi Sheene. Fresh out of the box so it needs to settle a bit but impressed with it. Not the best photographer so pics are what they are. 2 pocket only and an August collar. Oh....and I squeak like a new leather sofa :D

    Windward is here!

    Update on the info on the label having mailed back and forth with Chloe. As said elsewhere my original order was for CXLHH however, at the time the jacket was to go into production Horween weren't overly sure when they'd get some HH out of the door with all the disruptions with the lurgy and...

    Windward is here!

    The original order was for HH however, when it was due to go into production Aero were struggling to get some from Horween so decided to go for SH which they had in stock. Jacket has a FQHH label in so some must have just arrived in time.

    Aero Windward is here at last. FQHH with Alpaca lining, absolutely wonderful thing! Fits beautifully.

    Aero Bike jacket.

    This....now this is my idea of style!....without the throat latch though so, it's time for a bit of plagiarism. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-natural-cxl-hh-j-106-kotr-indian-mix-biker-jacket.97528/ I knew Aero did the odd bit of customization here and there but no idea they...

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    Yay.... Just had a mail confirming I'll be able to collect the Windward on the 4th October!. Anticipation now in overdrive. It's been a long 4 months.

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    Update time!....and a post praising Aero. A few mails back and forth with Chloe@Aero today. I suggested we might have a change of plan if the delays in them getting the leather went beyond the first week in October and suggested having my Sheene in Cordovan CX SH instead of tobacco Badalassi...

    The Flat Head vs The Real McCoy's: which jacket to choose?

    oops.

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Thanks for the photos and info. I don't ride a bike and never will so, in reality, any jacket purchased would be for streetwear only. Have had a look on the Vanson site and am impressed with some of their stuff however, the thought of ordering a jacket from overseas fills me with dread if I'm...

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Buy 2? Any more good ideas? :) Ref the cut following period style, to be honest that's exactly what I want. Said in a previous thread somewhere that the period style suits my shape. 6ft2ins, 43/44ins chest, broad shouldered,33ins waist and low body fat. Trousers, chinos and jeans are...

    Aero Bike jacket.

    Does anyone have any more photos of their Aero cross zip biker jackets? It'd be good to see some in everyday life scenarios rather than go by the photos on their site alone plus they don't usually carry them in stock so may be easier to choose with seeing user photos here . Said in opening post...

    Of course, no worries.

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    I might just wear it as it is for a while. If the squeaking drives me nuts I'll have a look at something.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    They are yes, first pair with leather soles for a long time. They didn't have the Dainite in stock. Once my shoe man is back from his hols and gets some Commando soles in they'll be going on. If I was planning on wearing them with a suit then the leather ones would be left on.

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    Before I 'add to basket' on the Obenaufs I have some leather oil I used on a jacket previously....Leather Honey Superior Conditioning Oil. Bought it from the US and it didn't appear to do the jacket any harm. Ok to use that?

    Thanks for that info.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    These arrived today...excuse the bare leg but only have shorts on and wearing them in the house to break them in a little. The leather soles are like planks! Good practice I suppose for when my jackets get here :)
