    Who Can Wear the Aero Barnstormer?

    This seems like a lot of jacket. Need you be big and/or tall to wear it? Do you think there are some people who might not do well with it. Is the double brasted aspect a problem for some people? Is it too warm? I was checking out the photos and it looks great on some people but it is a...

    Your Opinion on Aero Battered Horsehide

    I was looking at the tan battered horsehide specifically. How does the battered HH compare in terms of breaking in and developong character. It seems already soft and to have lots of variation we typically associate with character in a jacket. How does it change over time or doesn't it?

    Do You Match Jacket Color and Clothing?

    I swore there was a thread on this topic but I couldn't find it. I am a bit color blind and have no color matching sense so I need some help. Do you think it is at all important to match the leather jacket color to the rest of what you are wearing? All my jackets are black but much of my...

    Leather Overcoats

    I am looking for a style of leather coat that is meant to be worn over a sport jacket and will completely cover my butt and of course the length of the sportcoat. The Aero Veste de Rally, if I am to judge by the pictures posted, is too short. Will I need to go to a full length overcoat, past...

    Johnson Leather Fit?

    Can anyone tell me generally how Johnson Leather jackets fit? Are they looser , as I and others here have found with Schott? Are they tighter like Aero? It has been said that American manufacturers make jackets for beer bellied guys and the overseas companies make them more on the slim side...

    Help With Linings

    I am a bit confused and bewildered looking at all the linings offered by Aero. Can someone help me sort this out. Which are the coolest and warmest? Which add bulk to the jacket that is noticeable? I currently wear a Schott 141 with the fur lining. How do the Aero linings compare in warmth...

    Schott 650 or Aero Long Half Belt?

    I am having trouble deciding between the Aero long half belt and the Schott 650. I want to go with a longer jacket and these are the two options I like. The schott 650 looks incredible to me but I have not seen much enthusiasm for it here. If anyone has this jacket, could they give me some...

    Aero Vintage HH vs Aero Regular HH

    I have seen the threads showing the two types of horsehide together and I don't see all that much difference in the look in the long run. Aero vintage leather jackets seem to age like regular FQHH only they have a head start. So, for those of you who have both, what are the differences, or...

    Jacket From Movie Joyeux Noel?

    Can anyone identify the jacket in this picture? It is the one in the middle that appears blue-grey --to my colorblind eyes--with the fur collar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyeux_No%C3%ABl Thanks

    Lexol Cleaner For Naked Cowhide?

    I was given a used Schott 141 in naked cowhide. The previous owner used some Lexol conditioner on it. I can't tell if it did any damage or not but I would like to clean the conditioner out. Would the Lexol cleaner work? Thanks Steve

    Lining for Aero Highwayman

    I am trying to decide on a lining for an Aero Highwayman. The heavy Alpaca wool is out, as I don't want the extreme warmth. I usually wear a t-shirt under a jacket in the winter time and I don't get cold easily. This leaves the cotton, which is basically no lining at all as far as warmth is...
