I'd not want to take this thread off-topic, but I was just reminded of this

Brave how? He had the jacket in his hands before he paid a dime.

Just a comment about Giles. apart from the drama. I was looking for IH/AERO collab, but aero was not making them anymore, Giles offered to sell me an aero cafe racer he had that was used as a prototype, used very lightly, I agreed to buy it and he sent it to me without seeing or getting a penny. I payed soon after but it was in my possession well before that. Class all the way.

you can buy my old cafe racer now!:eusa_clap

Enough is enough is when YOU stop trolling every thread you post on.

PLEASE leave it alone:eusa_doh:

You're a very brave person then.

How so?

Hello!

I dig out this thread to show my new Highwayman - yes, and this time it is horsehide. I love the leather, its smell, and also the fit is perfect! Customizing of the back length and the sleeves's length worked perfectly and much better than under Will's and Amanda's "management".

Many thanks to Holly and Ken and to the rest of the Aero's staff. You did a great job:














I sized down from #38 to #36 and had the length of the body and the sleeves customized. So this is a jacket to be worn without a layer, just with a shirt.

No storm cuffs, brown cord stripes 2" at the waist and 1" at the cuffs.

Aero did a great job!!!

Kind regards,

Johannes

Looks great. At last the saga draws to an end.

My replacement HWM arrived today, although I won't see it until I get home tomorrow.

Yes, it is. Wonderful hide!!!

 

[Lungomare]

The zip fastener goes a little bit heavy - don't know the correct word, maybe I'd say firm or severe. Know what I mean? Any idea, like applying a little bit of soap or oil used for sewing machines?

Thanks,

Johannes

Very nice Johannes, I like that a lot! My replacement is being made at the moment, so should be with me soon.

 

[ForestForTheTrees]

Looks fantastic.

Years ago, Langlitz suggested that I use some paraffin or solid beeswax to rub along the teeth of my zippers. Works great.

Great fitting jacket..!
Try rubbing a little candle wax..or beeswax on the zipper (soap may work as well). Careful with any oils that can stain the HH..zipper tape..or lining.
Nice Highwayman!

I'm supposedly in the queue for my replacement. Holy mentioned early Feb for completion, but that sounds a bit optimistic at this date. Still not sure what my out-of-pocket cost will be with return, VAT, or any other issues. Looking forward to a hopefully happy ending. Frank

I agree. I have a small block of paraffin wax which I use from time to time, it has lasted me 20 years and always makes the zippers move more freely.

We sometimes use a bit of chapstick on zippers.

Just make sure that Aero ships replaced jacket as 'return'...or 'repair'..so no U.S. (new jacket) 'duties' will be charged. Shouldn't cost you anything ..unless you've added additional customization.

Jacket looks fantastic. I'd rub a candle up and down a few times, that'll loosen the zip up.

 

[frussell]

Thanks HD.
