Very nice. Similar look to the Lewis 935s that were worn by James Caan et al in the original Rollerball film, but with a few tweaks that make them very classically Aero, such as the American-style buckle. These look like they would be criacking for riding in. Did you order them direct from Aero? Couldn't find leather trews on the website recently, I wondered if they'd either stopped doing them or just revampling that part of the site.
Thanks! Yeah, got 'em directly from Aero. They're the 60's UK styled jeans, same as LL or Belstaff was making in the 60's. I think they go perfectly with Ken's 60's policy and Aero has reproduced them perfectly.
But yeah, sadly, they're no longer making leather trews - or rather, they are but only for returning customers who know exactly what size works for them as there's been a lot of returns. Enough to scrape them off the site. But I can see why as buying leather pants would be a lot trickier than jackets and not only 'cause of the fit issues but also, many people think it's a great idea until the trousers arrive and then they realize oh my God what have I done...
Anyway, these were a return as well, a 32/34, already made and all so got 'em for a good deal. If I had to wait, don't think I would've went through with it but it just happened a pair in my size was lying around so I got them. They're fantastic, insanely heavy (seriously, heavier than most jackets) and fit great. The problem is I want classic jeans now, too.
