RP McMurphy said:There's also Schott. ... but some of their motorcycle jackets look alot like Aero's.
My understanding is that Schott basically invented the ubiquitous "biker jacket" as we know it today - as in the design sported by the likes of Brando, Dean, and later Vicious and Ramone. To the best of my knowledge, the jacket worn by Brando in The Wild One is a Schott Perfecto One Star, a moel still in production. Aero also produce a jacket designed to replicate the Brando jacket, based on the jacket they were commissioned to produce many years ago for the Brando-as-Johnny waxwork in Tussauds here in London. Last time I checked out prices, the Schott Perfectos were in and around the same price as the equivalent Aeros, though less available in horse, if that's an issue for you.
