Just discovered this via the Aero Facebook page. Interesting premise - and a refreshing change from the combat-fixation of most WW2 era pictures of recent years. (Cue howls of protest that Brand X A2s are so far more accurate than Aero's offerings, and that the film will be rubbish as a result... lol ).

It will be interesting to see if Aero put out any specific models / lines relating to this, in the same vein as ELC's Pearl Harbour jackets and Red Tails bits.

That was written by our very own Sloan. He linked to it in another thread somewhere.

I don't see Ken as being the Hollywood tie-in type though, but you never know.

One doesn't like to blow one's trumpet , but, yes, I did write this. Ken mentioned rather casually that they were doing this - we had been talking Aero about doing costumes for the new Bladerunner, though I'm not sure that's happening now - and it seemed perfect for a stand-alone story.

I also heard that Ken is under contract to play the lounge singer in the new flick.

A nice article.

The film is due to premier in the US just before next Christmas, so a bit of a wait yet

I'm sure Aero will come to hate the words: "Do you have a Clooney jacket?"

 

[Sir Jacket]

Puff Daddy?

Well, at least Aero appears to be making jackets again...

They never stopped.

Very cool read, and I can't wait to see the movie!

 

[Sir Jacket]

No, I'm just an Aero junkie who's been waiting for his latest fix for a very long time.

Thanks for your articles, Sloan. Been enjoying them; I speak as a fellow hack.

 

[Sloan1874]

Thanks! They're very game for indulging my interest at a time when they've got their hands full. I'm sure Ken wouldn't have thought twice about saying 'no' if he'd wanted to.

Maybe you could say you're Clooney's stunt double and need an A-2 ASAP; they'll bump you to the head of the waiting list!

Whoa! Heck of a cast.

 

[Sloan1874]

You can just see it, the first day of shooting:
Clooney: "Hmmm, is this really the right contract?"
Goodman: "Gee, I'm really not sure."
Damon: "Hey, Clooney, how come you've got a Bronco? I wanted that!"
Clooney: "Damon, is your name at the top of the bill? No, that's why you don't get it"
*Daniel Craig quietly admires the stitching on his jacket*
Craig: "Can't I just wear my Highwayman?"

And the best perk to being one of the actors is they get to keep their jackets!

 

[Sloan1874]

I think Craig has a special Aero wardrobe...

 

[Boyo]

Was there any indication about the types of jackets to worn by the cast? ( made by Aero) Will it be only A-2's or can we expect some period civilian and German jackets as well?

 

[Sloan1874]

As far as I understand, at the moment Aero are just making A-2s.

Here's Mr Craig in his HWM....

 

[Sir Jacket]

I have much bigger nose than George Clooney.

I presume these guys aren't getting special treatment and also have to wait.
