A little teaser from Aero

[nick123]

Hi Nick

Ken told me that it is named after the Aeromarine Plane & Motor Company, of Keyport, NJ., who built Seaplanes and Flying Boats, beginning in 1914. I think alot of the guys flying those planes will have had a jacket very much like this.

Ken also showed me the vintage original jacket in his showroom

Wow. Huge day for the Fedora Lounge. Nuff said.

Major,

are the pockets useable in any real sense? I would think they might look awkward if stretched out.. If you wouldn't mind telling us your size and the jackets measurements as reference.. looks Great BTW

 

[schitzo]

Haha, glad you like it. This isn't even close to being my favourite personally.

Deleted some messages Majormajor.

So which is your favourite Holly? What say you

 

[cloudylemonade]

To be honest, I've not learned all the names yet... too many! One of my favourites is the Thunderbay tho, which some of you might remember having seen samples of a while ago.

I think you're going to have trouble getting me out of the factory tomorrow, Holly...

Hi Boyo
I only really use jacket pockets for my phone. I always specify no inside pockets too (this one doesn't have them as standard). So the pockets are fine for me.
Because I wanted a close fit, I downsized to a 40 (I'm a 42 in many jackets).
I'll measure it when I get home.

 

[Sir Jacket]

Holly, are you going to name one after your most devoted customer -- the person who's bought the most Aeros? I wonder who that would be. SJ

I have to agree Holly. I liked that a lot when I tried it on last week. Lucky for me winter's almost over or that would probably have been an impulse buy.

You mean the guy that had 150 Aero jackets in the closet? :eeek:

Lol...

Well Rocketeer had the oldest one, so maybe he could be commemorated!

 

[Sloan1874]

He's still alive, I think...

 

[ButteMT61]

Ha, don't get me started on untucked shirts...Scott! Scott, are you there?!

Lord knows, he might even have cuffed jeans too Ian! Hell, he might have voted for Thatcher :eeek:

TBH with the profile of this style of jacket, or an A-1, a slim wallet (which, as a jacket buyer, you'll have already) or a mobile is about it without pockets bulging and looking odd.

In Scotland? Are you barking mad? :-0

Like voting Democrat in the Midwest or Republican in New England.

Oh yes. Commemorate is the wrong word. Honour?

Holly, what band is that on your avatar?

Looks like an early shot of Pink Floyd to me (but I have only looked at it on my phone).

 

[Sloan1874]

It's Pink Floyd circa Syd Barrett period.
