Aero listed as a cheap brand to avoid

[navetsea]

most of the time people like this, they just got too successful than what they originally planned/ imagined, overcapacity, burn, and crumble out of control.
they should limit the orders or raise up the price to limit their market

Pretty interesting:

Don't buy jacket from a dude who doesn't even wear their own jacket

From my review of the article written by the guy, the best thing I could say is much of his information is inaccurate. If the guy were to post his impressions on the Lounge, even the super polite members here would privately regard him as a buffoon.

I have an admission. I ghost wrote the Reddit article. I was hoping to drive down the prices for Aero jackets so that I could scoop up a bunch for pennies on the dollar. TFL foiled my plan. Drats!

Styleforum =

"nuff said.

I'v seen it happen. Happened particularly a decade or so ago in the Rocky Horror world; one young lay set up a business making costumes, doing them cheap, and it got out of hand. She obviously had taken in more orders than she could keep up with, then when it all got too much she responded by hiding from people. It got messy - all sorts of threats of legal action and everything, which was sad. She genuinely hadn't been trying to rip people off, she just wasn't good at running a business. I think they worked it all out in the end, somehow. I've heard of other occasions where somebosy was originally legit, then got into money trouble and thought they could cross-fund different activities.... Always a bad idea.

Shame for the folks who lost money on that one, though. Sounds an awful lot like the Lawless thing, but over a longer period.

I think this sentence should really be on Aero's web page:

"A leather jacket can be the fast lane to swagger like you know who, but can also be a fast route to anti-swag."

Some of the hides exalted on Styleforum are truly horrifying. For example:

Fortunately, the horrendous hides are overshadowed by the *unique* designs:

That stuff spooks me. Reminds me of like some dystopian urban novel.

Oh my sweet Lord.
I … er, I'm lost for words. I am agog.

Apparently, these are high end leather jackets! Gentleman, we have been lied to to all along!

My personal favourite, who has never dreamt of pants with a leather crotch?

I suppose it is the same everywhere, like that jacket with chest hair here, or these weird jackets over there,
picture posted, people got jaw dropped WTF... but nobody reach their wallet.

Just think, you also get to pay 4-5 times the price of an Aero for one of these InStyle "fashionable" jackets that you get to wear for 1-2 seasons before its so outdated you wouldn't dare leave the house in it [emoji23]

It makes much more sens to buy a jacket that is 60 years outdated in the first place! If it's not fashionable when you buy it it's not going to be less fashionable as time goes by...

Lololol! This is almost as horrible as that 'cadaver' or what was it called jacket, made from that rotten looking untanned leather that someone posted on s-f a while ago.

Biggest problem with styleforum is that they can be really mean spirited if not downright malicious pricks. Some of the members are incredibly obnoxious in their pretend-elitism and I wonder why are the admins putting up with that sort of counter-productive crap.

Style forum, dressing rappers and cock knockers since 92....

Well, here's a thing. When I look at those Style Forum photos, before I take the mickey too hard I always try to remember... That's what we look like to them...
