    Vintage "Bootlegger" on eBay

    Unreal. I don't know if I've ever seen a better jacket.

    Aero Leather Articles.

    Not entirely sure, but I would guess Belstaff is easier to counterfeit than Aero. The name is better known, for one, and in general merchandise that flaunts its labeling (gucci, coach "signature", and...belstaff?) is more attractive from a counterfeiting perspective than a very high quality...

    Hi Deacon, I sent you a private message.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    The consensus is that someone in Texas makes the current models. Julian makes some incredible boots but I think RRL needed someone who could make them a bit faster and perhaps with more consistenty. As for the sizing it's a bit surprising to read that people are finding the Murdocks to run a...

    Belstaff or Aero?

    Either way, we're just talking about undesirable wear to the lining, correct? I'm personally not terribly worried about the lining, since it can be repaired/replaced every few years if needed. Correct me if others have a different experience, but barring some kind of accident, I can't imagine...

    Aero's off-the-peg

    I would imagine the scarcity, or perceived scarcity, in sheepskin would have more to do with increased demand (such as China buying it, as Butte mentions) than decreased supply.

    Vintage Cafe Racer Jackets

    Vintage Brooks cafe racers are really nice, esp. if you get one from the 60s. You can date them quite easily from their labels (I used to have a link to help with that but can't find it at the moment). They do seem to be getting a bit more expensive on ebay, last I checked...selling at auction...

    Belstaff or Aero?

    Interesting. I've been considering the leather strip on an order I'm putting through. Would a corduroy strip prevent repairs in the same way, or would that be easier to work around?

    Belstaff or Aero?

    Love that P Diddy story. Wonder if he ever did a factory tour?

    Aero's off-the-peg

    My therapist recommended I get an Aero HWM (in brown fqhh).

    Comments on fit, please.

    Great looking jacket and perfect fit. Consider yourself lucky...You could spend a lot of time and money trying to achieve that fit even going the custom route. Enjoy wearing and post pics in a few months when it's breaking in.

    New Aero 20s HB

    Nice looking jacket. Looks like you'll need to be quite thin to pull it off.

    An Eastman RW B-6 Custom - ordered Monday, built by Thursday, posted Friday!

    Nice. That B-6 is a perfect fit and looks awesome.

    So whose boots are cooler, mine or my wife's?

    Yeah, I have a similar problem, billyb, though perhaps not quite to your extreme: smaller ankles, wide up front, and high arches which adds volume to the space my foot occupies. I stay away from narrow toe-boxes, period. It hasn't left a big hole in my life. I've learned not to size down on...

    Belstaff or Aero?

    From what I've read, people have different experiences with the amount of bleeding of the cordovan fqhh. What seems consistent is that it eventually 'bleeds out' and then your fine.

    Belstaff or Aero?

    Man, if you live just a short trip from the Aero factory, go to the factory! No doubt you'll learn a lot and probably end up with a stunning jacket. If you end up going with Belstaff, go vintage. The older ones are better jackets.

    Aero 15142 (PICS & measurements)

    Brettafett, do you wear a highwayman and if so, what size?
