Fanch, I am currently in the Marines stationed in North Carolina.

I had a great deal of contact with USMC pilots years ago when I served as a US Naval flight surgeon. Thanks again for your service! Semper Fi!

Now that the Aeromarine's been announced to great appreciation, will that be available in May too?

I sense a rush of US orders coming, especially with the fast delivery.

Yes it is...looks great!

That brown CXL hide is unbelievable.

I like the clean look of the Maxwell, which could even be worn with slacks, dress shirt and tie to the office.

Carrie, let's have some more of those hot Maxwell shots! I suspect that jacket will do well.

Is the length that Ben is wearing it at the length you had in mind when you guys kocked the jacket up? I had in mind a short coat sort of thing.

We specify our Half Belts at 25-26 inches body length, which turns out pretty nice. The jacket Ben is wearing is a 25 inch body length...

Carrie, do you guys carry gloves? Vanson gloves?

And approx. how tall is Ben? If the jacket he is wearing is 25" body length, I'm guessing around 5'7"- 5'9".

(BTW, andy idea where he got his hat from?)

 

[HighandDry]

I have a slim fit halfbelt from Insurrection.

It's marked a 38 and I think it's a perfect length at 25". I'm 5'11"

 

[ChristianM.]

Is that Aero´s regular brown chrome tanned steerhide? Or something special like tumbled brown etc.?

Hi, Jeff:
I'm 5'8", so you're right on with that. The hat comes from a small company in Oregon called Hat People. They have a website: hatpeople.com. Good folks.

 

[Carrie @ Thurston Bros.]

No, we don't carry Vanson gloves...sorry!

This is Aero's regular brown Horween C/X Steerhide, which we consider to be one of the nicest leathers Horween makes!

.. The hat comes from a small company in Oregon called Hat People. ....

That's what I suspected. I have several of their hats.

Good news!

Aero Trade Week was a huge success and Insurrection/Thurston Bros. will, in all likelihood, take on more production slots for North American Aero customers. Effective immediately, this means an increased Aero production allotment for Insurrection/Thurston Bros. for the month of May! Aero is a company that prides itself on Golden-era design AND customer service, and Aero sees Insurrection/Thurston Bros. as an important relationship in extending a high level of customer service to a growing North American Aero client base. This level of customer service means that we offer warranty repairs, alterations, custom fittings, off-the-rack sales, fit guarantee, etc. to our own Aero customers.

In order for Aero production to be efficient and to keep wait times low, our Aero custom orders have to stay within the features that are unique to each Aero jacket style. Standard modifications are Insurrection/Thurston Bros. pattern options, arm length, body length, liner choice, hardware, interior pockets, hide selection and leather color. With 16 new Aero jacket styles just announced (and many more styles in development!), this is an exciting time for Aero, Insurrection/Thurston Bros., and both new and returning North American Aero customers!
