bobjones said:#1- Aero are the best people I have ever worked with in a retail environment. If you can find a better group of people to work with than Will Lauder, Amanda, and Mark, you tell me, because I'd like to meet them.
#2- Aero is absolutely NOT "out to make a quick buck," as Will has a long-term view and wants to build his customer base through quality sales and service, period.
#3- Aero took 6-8 weeks to make a customized version of one of their jackets for me, and finished on time and did a superb job.
#4- Aero's FQHH is purchased from the same tannery as Lost World's AFAIK, and both use 5 oz. FQHH that is chrome-dyed. I have samples of both next to me, and they are equally tough.
Seems like you misunderstood my tone in the post. I find all the people very friendly to deal with at Aero especially Amanda and Will. I think though that because they are so friendly that they tend to make promises that sometimes they can't keep. Their prices are also fair and reasonable, but I was merely pointing out that when companies do custom work the normal economies of scale principles do not operate.
