Thx it took me a lot of time to choose the lining, there is so much choice at Lochcarron. Have to take notes and all :D

Great choice of leather and lining - AERO's brown FQHH just amazing.
YES, as Jan already mentioned - take the chance and use the summer for breaking in ... its a bit of "blood sweat and tears" :) but its works well - also my experience.

I also had a look at your post with the surrogates jacket, that one looked smashing as well. Do you know if it's still available online?

I love it speed! I have been curiously researching bi-swing backed jackets, your post could not be more timely. How do you find the bi-swing back? I would love to see more detailed pictures of it. Perhaps a few more pictures in general? The length looks spot on, in both the body and sleeves. Congratulations that HB is a stunner. - O.C.

Looks Good speed! thanks for posting pictures of the back in action! I am getting close to placing an order for a 30's HB with possibly a bi-swing back, so your pictures could not have come at a better time. How do you find Aero's bi-swing action? Does it feel like there is excess material? Do you notice it, ect? Thanks - O.C.

I like those bi-swing, they work like they should be. They're not to deep and so there is so excess material.

I don't notice them because I'm used to bi-swing, most of my jackets have them.

Beautiful! I just am finishing my order. Did you make any changes to your measurements? That is, did you ask for more length in sleeves, etc? Hw do you like the FQHH Brown hide? Looks stiff, but I like that. I'm paranoid about waiting four months and messing up something :)

It only takes about a day to finish the jacket, the 4 month wait is Aero building jackets for all of the orders that came in before yours. I made a few changes to my first aero while waiting for them to finish, with no problems.

I have to make some necessary changes in the measurements I'm a small woman (5ft2) and Aero follow them perfectly.

The leather is quite stiff and the jacket stand on its own but everyone tell that when it is broken the leather is supple.

I love the color the brown is intense and go well with the jacket design.

Don't be paranoid if you have doubts discuss them with Amanda. For your information I have waited 6 month to have my jacket.

Thx speed! 6 months? Wow, that's a long time...I figured 3-4 months.
Thank you for the info. It's a beautiful jacket. Looks great on you. Have a wonderful day!

Six months isn't so bad. I'm still waiting what is it now... at least five years for a custom knife, I should check where I am still actually.

Post Script; Just checked my records I've been waiting since 2004 and my number should come up 2012, I hope before the end of the world.
