Hello All!

I've noticed that Aero has been listing "trainee-made" jackets on thier site from time-to-time. My question to the other loungemembers is, has anyone any experience(s) in regards to what one might expect in the "minor flaws" that they mention? I'd love to hear about good and bad experiences. I'm sure they are not junk, but if it's really off seamwork, asymetrical pockets, etc., then it may be more major than minor!

Cheers!

Thanks,

I appreciate the thread link, thanks! It expounds a hopefull theory, but I was wondering if anyone actually has one of these jackets and can confirm or refute this with actual experience. Anybody out there who has purchased one of these that might offer their opinion?

Hi Fiver,

I did indeed buy one of the Aero Trainee made Jackets ( a Highway Man ) and am very happy with it. I have found no issues with the Jacket and I feel that the quality, as well as the value of the Jacket to be very good.

Thanks for weighing in Kaiser. That's the input I'm looking for. Actual testimonials from those who have purchased them. What, if anything were the "minor faults" that AERO cites?

In my case it was "Wobbly Stiches". If I look close I can find some ever so slight variations in the stichting. For me this is nothing to complain about.
