    Aero Half -Belt Long in russett goatskin

    At last my HBL arrived. As usual when I've bought a new leather jacket, I open the box and my heart sinks. Too clean, too new, no character and stiff. I took a few photos out of the box for posterity. (These I'll add later if there's interest). I then make the decision to do or not to do a...

    Levi's button

    I've got a couple of pairs of Levi's 18 something or other jeans. They have suspender buttons and the rear cinch strap but no belt loops. Sometimes I do wear suspenders with them.

    Hi All, I could do with a bit of advice from Aero jacket owners please. I've had several FQHH jackets from Aero but always ended up selling them on as they were too heavy and very inflexible when cold. I also found them cold in winter.
