How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Jacket looks fantastic! Saw a few of them on a documentary about the Battle of Chosin in Korea.

Why the high rise of the prices?

Have people been contact with Aero lately? Are they on holidays or something? I enquired about buying a new Cafe Racer last Friday and still haven't heard back. Or rather, I got a reply from Denny confirming that Cafe Racers have roomier sleeves than the Board Racer and then when I sent a mock-up of an order form for what I'd like I haven't heard back. Seems unusual for a week to go by. Especially when I'd just had a reply.

I suspect this is something to do with having to pay for the costs of the new factory they moved into earlier this year.

I doubt it’ll effect the demand - every time I speak to Rob, it sounds like the factory is working at maximum capacity as it is and demand is sky high!

Just e-mail them again. My last two enquiries went unanswered and I am starting to believe this occurs when the addressee does not respond immediately but further involvement from other people is required. Maybe they occasionally have trouble communicating who answers the mail once it has been forwarded and/or talked about in person.

Brilliant fit man! Now the anticipation for mine has reached apex levels!! Man that collar sincerely changes the whole look of the jacket. I really prefer it to the broader standard HWM collar. Well done!!!

I picked up a Lost Worlds Suburban in thick cowhide. I’ll post a pick tomorrow

Great jackets those Suburban's!!
Similar to the 30's half belt but the half belt fits more streamlined for sure.

Thank you. Me too. Glad I did the August collar.

Should be a nice jacket in cowhide. Looking forward to the photo's

Ouch! You're opening the pandora box with that.

Does BK have a bad name on here? I recently started collecting vintage and higher end leather thanks to stumbling across a Terry Mitchel video a few months ago. Lol!

 

[Alphahunter]

Lost Worlds Suburban in thick cow hide. Very heavy and stiff. She stands at attention on her own. Lol!

I also picked up this sweet HH Vanson/Orvis Ike from FL member lospice1. Love this jacket. Not as heavy as my Areo HG5 but very nice. She stands at attention too.

 

[ton312]

DAMN!!!! Both are super cool^^!!

 

[handymike]

My (then 3 month old) son bought me an Orvis Ike once. Great jacket!

Thank you. I dig your collection. That custom Bootlegger you had made me weak in the knees. That cut would look wicked with their new natural Chromexcel HH.

BK's attitute/statements/ & emails on this and other forums has gotten them a bad reputation. I'll leave it there...

I get it. We’ve dealt with that a lot in the knife industry. Guys that are new to the hobby come in not knowing but after being around seasoned enthusiasts they get educated quickly. Appreciate the feedback.

I apologise because it was actually me who went that route but yes, nothing wrong with their products per se. Just a bit of mystery around who makes them in fact.

I should have skipped work today, my Himel Grizzly was to be delivered today but I was at work...Monday it is, I'm biting my fingers, can't wait!

It has to be the fastest delivery of a package I've ever seen. Toronto to Barcelona in 1.5 days. DHL custom declaration over the phone, payment for customs the following day online while waiting to be delivered. Unfortunately missing the delivery delays the record of 2-3 days
