New Aero website!

[Rawky]

Much better site, but now I'm a tad confused. Which one would I go for it I wanted one like yours Dav? Is it the Highwayman at the top?

Check out the zipped Highwayman they have in the sale section, it's taken quite a beating, I like it.

Griff got one of these recently didn't he? A glimpse into the future.

The new one in steer is my old one. It is very short.

 

[GriffDeLaGriff]

OMG they have Flathead wheee!

I need money.

The D1 redskin looks absolutely amazing. I gotta have me one. I kinda need it soon also lol

Yes thats the one, mine is a darker brown than the one in the picture, more like the Barnstormer.

I see a few problems with the site. Much harder to see what sizes of their used/sale stuff. And if it's sold, it's still there.

Plus, the jeans (Lee) don't offer a size... you just order a pair I guess and hope they fit?

The pictures are much better to see what you're getting. Considering that old site was at least 10 years old, it is different and maybe better, but not quite as easy to navigate then their old one.

Did they stop making all those patches? I see just like 6 to chose?

Looks like they dropped a bunch of stuff they use to offer... (besides Jackets)

Cheers mate.

Trouble is I've also like the look of:

The Hercules HFQH
1930's Cossack FQH
Cafe Racer - mid-weight Horsehide
And some of the other 'highwayman's'

*sigh*

That's a big improvement, lots more pictures of the jackets. Doesn't help with the cravings, though...

Enjoy the new look and feel of the site.. easier to navigate and includes some new details.. I happen to like the info about the jacket making process.. just wish wish there was even more info. Anyone happen to know how long it takes Aero to make a jacket? or how many jacket they produce in a week?

Regarding the jacket making process, here's a link that has good info on the Chromexcel process for horsehide at Horween.. love the picture of the Highwayman they use.

I wondered that myself so as I have 2 order numbers about 5 months apart I subtracted one from the other divided by the amount of weeks between the two allowing for two weeks summer holidays then divided again by 4.6 the amount of working days in their week and came up with 13.5 approx orders filled a day.
I've no idea if this correct. But it does seem reasonable.

I love the look of this jacket.

We copied it from an original 1930's German bike jacket that I have given to Will as a thank you for making the jacket for me as a one off.

I don't see anything new when I go in on their site.
Only the same old site.

Have they changed the address too?

I wouldn't have thought the Aero factory could fill 13+ orders per day.. The Aero USA website it states they will only accept 16-24 orders a month.. that would translate to about 2 days production and seems pretty low..

John Lever's 'Radjacke' design is now also included as well.

Man, It's about time they updated. I wish Langlitz would do the same. The charm of these old websites wore off for me a long time ago. I always go to the Japanese sites for detail shots of items from both companies. Those folks have a pension for details that rival my own.

The reason I thought 13+ seemed reasonable is that I think they have 22 employees plus I did read of a member here that went to visit the factory some years ago and got a jacket cut and stitched in about 4 hours, can't remember which thread that was in though I'm afraid.
This is a separate subject not the theme of the thread so we shouldn't get to involved with an off topic discussion.
