    In speaking with Stuart he won't admit that the change in stiffness was driven by costumer requests. He is adamant that the change was simply made to make the finish more authentic and closer to the originals.

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    I spent many years with a single leather jacket that I wore everywhere but these days I try to keep it down to five. 1. Short Vanson leather jacket for spring and cool summer evenings. 2. 3/4 length Aero Hudson for work/everyday 3. Heavy winter coat (rarely used here in the pacific NW) 4...

    Well I pulled the trigger and ordered the LW ANJ-4. If my wife doesn't kill me I'll post some pictures in a week or so.

    It does seem very rare to see anything larger than a 40 come up for sale. Most seem to be 36/38.

    Thanks John. I've been corresponding with Stuart but I'm still trying to decide if I should pull the trigger or if I should be patient and hope that a used one will pop up.

    John, What would you say is a reasonable temperature range to comfortably wear the LW ANJ-4? It looks heavier than a lot of the other versions that I've seen so I'm curious what your thoughts are (It looks like you're actually wearing a sweater under it in the photo). To be honest the...

    Water and leather

    I have both a brown FQHH from Aero and a LW in brown HH. While the LW is definitely more bulletproof it doesn't have the depth/character of the Aero FQHH.

    John, In your review on VLJ you mention the zipper being a bit light for the jacket. Is the zipper size similar to the LW B-2 jackets. I have a B-2 (which I think you owned at one time) and while the zip works fine it feels like a toy compared to the rest of the jacket. BTW bottom line, was...

    John, Thanks for the pictures the jacket looks fantastic! How's the waist fit? You mentioned that the waist was a bit big on your previous LW ANJ-4.

    John, You make me want to order one today, although I think my wife might divorce me. Can't wait to see the pics.

    John, If you don't mind my asking, what size did you order from LW ? If I remember correctly you typically wear a 44 which is the size I'm looking at as well. If yours is a 44 I'd like to get your opinion on the fit before I order.

    Who Can Wear the Aero Barnstormer?

    I tried on a Barnstormer before I purchased my Hudson. Personally I liked the look and design of the jacket and I'm only 5'-10". I originally intended to buy a Barnstormer before Aero released the Hudson a few years back and I still think about getting the shawl collared version now and again.

    I did consider US authentic along with Eastman/Aero but US Authentic doesn't seem as highly regarded among the membership. Originally I was budgeting based on Eastman/Aero so the LW is a significant increase. I'll just have to be patient and save a bit longer.

    John, I hope you'll post some pic's when it arrives. Stuart told me he had one 44 R currently in stock and was taking orders for March.

    Thanks for sharing your opinions. As I said I'm leaning toward LW but I'll have to keep saving for a bit longer before I can afford it. John, unfortunately I typically wear a 44 and Stuart recommended a 44 R based on the measurements I sent him. Otherwise I'd jump at the opportunity for a...

    I've been lurking around the forum for the last few years but to be honest I don't generally feel that have much contribute so I haven't posted very often. However I've learned a lot about leather jackets from the folks here and it's lead to purchasing my first Aero (a Hudson) and a nice...

    Temporary adhesive for bonding patches to leather

    Hello all! A friend of mine is looking for an answer to the above question. Is there a non marring adhesive to temporarily bond some patches to a leather jacket? I was thinking something like a rubber cement, but I thought I'd run it past y'all, just in case. I tried searching the forum...

    Carrie, I'll try to remember to stop by the shop so you can see how the Hudson is breaking in. I still love the jacket and thanks again for all your help. Andy
