    Aero '50's Half-Belt Configuaration Recomendations for a Mild Climate

    It depends which of the tartan weights you choose! there are 3 different weights and the lightest (Reiver) as Butte says is not a warm lining ,very little difference to the cotton but of a nicer appearance and a choice of over 500 different patterns, leather in itself is not warm, I personally...

    Aero Barnstormer

    You can generally make changes up to the time the jacket gets produced usually 2-3 days before you will get it, however I wouldn't leave it that long, give Amanda or Will a ring and tell her what you want they will then let you know if it's OK D

    Aero Barnstormer

    Sloan1874, I have an Aero B6, I love it! I previously had an Irvin replica which I personally found a little too warm for more than a couple of months a year, the Aero B6 suits my needs just fine, I know it may not be as historically accurate as an Eastman(nothing against Eastman, I have one of...

    Aero Barnstormer

    WDW, I have a modified Stockman, my lining is sewn in! When I ordered I asked about a leather inner hem and was told it was not needed as the longer jackets do not rub against the body at the bottom if I insisted they would have done it but for an extra £90 also any repairs to the lining would...

    Belstaff or Aero?

    Sloan, Personally I would visit the factory for every jacket, both I've got are definite keepers! and were exactly what I wanted, the problem is waiting until they are ready!, on the internal hems, Will told me that as well as the extra £90 when the time comes to replace the lining it is also...

    Belstaff or Aero?

    When I got my last jacket ( I went to the factory to be measured) I asked about a leather hem and Will told me that it was not needed certainly not on the longer jackets, and it also cost an extra £90 and made replacement linings much more expensive to fit (double the price if I remember...

    Belstaff or Aero?

    I would have phoned before booking the day off!, other people can measure you but you can talk through your requirements with Will and he will give you the different possibilities and advice some of the others may not be able to, also wear a pair of pants you will wear most often and he will...

    RUGBY UNION!!

    Smithy, I guess there must be a connection, David (also "Fats") must be mid to late thirties now, and during playing days was a mobile, straight running prop who genarally burst tackles and had a surprising turn of speed, he could play a full game without apparently tiring, he also represented...

    RUGBY UNION!!

    Hi Smithy, My local RL side had a couple of Junior Warriors (Aaron Lester and David Fatialofa) come over around 14 years ago and excellent they were too! both retired from the game about 4 years ago married local girls and have settled here. D

    Belstaff or Aero?

    No extra charge for any of over 500 different ones in three weights of tartan, no extra charge for anything else either unless you want leather inside hems which Will reckons arn't needed anyway! D

    Belstaff or Aero?

    I agree with what WDW has to say, Aero is in a completely different league to Belstaff, far superior!, also I have had two jackets custom made by Aero and made a single visit to Galashiels for each jacket, I would phone beforehand to check Will is going to be there (if you are in a hurry he can...

    RUGBY UNION!!

    I enjoy both codes of Rugby (Union and League) and attend as many matches as possible, in my opinion both games offer the finest spectating available, it's probably more difficult to see any Rugby league on the other side of the pond but try and watch a 1963 film "This Sporting Life" starring...

    Specifying an Aero Barnstormer...

    If Will measured you I would leave the length to him, I've been a couple of times for different jackets and they came perfect, believe me trust Will! if you want to discuss it give him a ring. D

    Horsehide vs steerhide?

    I have jackets in all hides however my favourite hide is definitely horse, it looks fantastic from day 1 and just keeps improving with age!, it has a deep lustre and character all of its own, keeps the rain out too! D
