    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    saw Tom Selleck as a bald moustacheless Ike Eisenhower in a recent made for tv biopic...nooo even he couldn't match a geriatric Harrison Ford with creaking leathers.....and I am not too happy with 'Marion' ...the evil Dr Rene Belloq pronounces it 'Marianne' ...much more reassuring.....

    shrinking aero anyone?

    Not wishing to add to your angst but in the absence of extreme leather or steroid abuse I think you should contact Aero if only to quell the rising panic amongst the Aeroites on this forum. All I can say is that my non Aero jackets are not shrinking but then again I have never bought 'true to...

    Heaviest leather jacket?

    Depends on which model vanson .. I have the stallion which took a mere 7 years to break in and I have the Highwayman style E which is extremely heavy and definitely not a social jacket and may never break in!

    New Angel in the skies movie Trashes original IRVIN JACKETS!

    The average theatre goer is totally unmoved by authenticity..sergio leone went to great lenghts as regard historical accuracy of his prop fire arms ..but no one cares except film buffs and anoraks lol so it is with low budget films with dodgy names..low budget means exactly that and accordingly...
