    Highwayman what kind of leather to use

    Badalassi creeks so much I hated every minute with the jacket I had.

    CRUSH ON RETRO REVIEW

    I'm a firm believe that you get what you pay for and expecting perfect engineers for $400 isn't realistic. The return policy on their website is very clear. Return Conditions Items must be: Unused and unworn In original condition Complete with all parts Free from dirt, creases, or marks In...

    Thoughts on Aero Wayfarer as Riding Jacket

    I've seen dudes wearing just shorts and sandals on a bike and you're worried about a particular style leather jacket looking out of place? lol

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Sole and Heel Repairs

    Full resole is what I'd do with a leather insole but I'm not a mini lug fan and much prefer V bars.

    Kreosote Boots

    @jonbuilder I think you misunderstood me. I don't have a problem with the price or wait time. Paying full price up front for such a long wait should be a red flag because you won't get that money back if the builder (any builder) has financial or health problems where he can't deliver.

    Kreosote Boots

    I don't think any Parkhurst are made in Mexico. GYW in Spain. Stitchdown in Portugal.

    Looking for a Duffel bag

    How to contact aero successfully?

    Maybe you offended her by not spelling her name right? Just kidding. Chloe has always replied to me quickly. Aero's first few emails and order confirmation did go into my spam folder.

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    I follow Jake's channel and from everything I've heard him say (in nauseam :D) the length of this jacket is spot on. Musicians do this too so their basses and guitars don't get beat up.

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    Good. I mostly wore it unzipped but it zipper no problem and wasn't tight on me. 39" chest. Size 38.

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    I had a 689H for 6 months bought new. The leather was stiff as a board until the day I sold it. The wind flap drove me nuts and was the reason I didn't keep it.

    Alternatives to Aero "Hooch Hauler"

    I think the increase was 15%. Make sure you select rest of world and not UK when browsing their website unless you live in UK.

    Aero Horween horse hides

    Dude that's awesome! I never thought of doing that. I tried the Canuck Panda test with my Vicenza (Aeron30s Highwayman). It was stiff as a board at first like your CXL FQHH then folded over a little like CXL SH Aero. I'm OK having a stiff jacket at first and think I'll break it in rather...

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    Custom fittings are free at his workshop? I wouldn't expect that to be a free service from any maker.

    How long does it take to make an Aero jacket

    Literally on every MTO jacket page.

    Kreosote Boots

    His engineers look great but no way would I pay $2k upfront and wait 4+years. A lot can happen in that time. I saw on YouTube that he only makes about 30 or 35 pairs a year.

    Aero Horween horse hides

    Thanks for the responses! I haven't 100% decided on the pattern yet. I know I want an offset zip and I'm leaning towards a J-106 though may get a Bootlegger again (the Badalassi I moved was a Bootlegger), Hooch Hauler or Vincent. I bought a leather sample set after making this thread to at...

    Aero Horween horse hides

    Not in the 3 leather choices here (unless you count steer CXL boots) but I have 3 Aeros. A Vicenza, goat, and Badalassi that I just moved on. I have a Himel and Schott P571 too. I like Aero and want this to be a Horween HH of some sort and that's what I'm getting. I know there's a placebo aspect...
