I'm now temped by the corduroy strip, very temped. It sounds like a good alternative.
Seems so. Never had one (Ken originally made them available as an option to wean folks off the leather strip!), tough I'm going to have one added to my Bootlegger to hide a few moth nips.
I'll talk this through to them. I tend to wear Iron Heart jeans with a mid/high rise, and due to the size of my arse I couldn't wear modern style low rise jeans/trousers if I wanted to. The added length is just to compensate for my above average length torso
Definitely talk to them, but the best is absolutely to visit the factory and try in person.
Trying options on does seem the best bet. Shame it's a 9 hour drive away...
Well worth it, though.....
I've seen one custom aero with a pocket in the lining, but this could have been the old regime doing it.
Fairly likely - I think they did a few of those in the early days of Alexander Leathers as well.
Drill is sounding a good shout. Is the tartan cotton as durable?
Never handled it. I hear it's lighter than the drill, but I'd assume it's still decent, or Aero wouldn't be putting it out there..... I'd think it's at least the weight of the lining on an A2.
I have pretty think arms, but I like the look of as snug a fit as I can get away with. High arm holes on suits I always found gave a better range of motion. If three piece makes the sleeves any bulkier than they have to be, perhaps it's best I avoid it.
Thanks for the great reply!!
No worries. I wouldn't worry about three piece making it 'loose' - don't forget the Japanese market caters to folks who are much slighter than we tend to be on average.....
I just looked at the link again, and there's actually a close up pic of them pulling the seams on the back apart to reveal the gusset
Yeah, must be a custom option - the original definitely doesn't have it: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=2213
