I am not an expert on these matters yet.. but when I first spoke to Will at Aero on the phone about these jackets he told me it is a really good quality wool Gabardine..very tough ..... of which he has a very limited supply.. like he said "when its gone...its gone... and no more.. ." hence the...

You're very welcome! and it means a lot to have such nice comments from all you guys who truly have an eye for these things.. Thankfully I have kept my lovely Highwayman..as it did not reach the reserve so I am now the proud owner of 2 Aero jackets... my lady was not so happy but I now have...

Thank you very much..I must say I feel very lucky with the Fit as its a standard 44... I requested the exact measurements off Amanda before making the decision and found that they were exactly the same as my custom made Highwayman: 25" shoulder to end of sleeve. 21" shoulder to shoulder and...

It Only Cost £125 + shipping ... a true bargain for Aero Quality!

With the alpaca wool lining running right through to the end of the sleeves this is the warmest Aero that I now own....

Can't be too bad when your Wife is your bank manager ... She could sort you out a loan ... or extend your overdraft for a fee...say... washing the pots for a week maybe? .. or at least loading the dishwasher!:D

I think it was Allen that I spoke to... and he was adamant that they would not and did not produce the jackets without the decal.. and it was their policy.. without a reason. I think that what got to me the most was whoever it was I did speak to's attitude of 'that's just the way it is' ...

Yes.. somebody here must know... does anyone from Eastwood contribute to this site? I do hope the authenticity issue is what has moulded the policy... The B15 and the B10 available at Eastwood are the Roughware issue.. but I am not an expert on when this was produced or if they all had...

Good thought... but from my first conversation regarding a possible order the representative stated they would make a jacket up to my required measurements and it would take up to two weeks,,They gave me the impression it would be custom made without actually saying such.. For the price and...

Hi .. I just wondered if anyone knows why Eastman has a policy on not supplying their Roughware B15 and B10 jackets without the US airforce jackets? It cant be a case of authenticity as apparently as many originals were produced without the decal.. Its just that I really love the style and...

Spoke to Amanda this morning... seems like business as usual...

Thanks Peacoat... well, as you all already probably know it just missed the reserve... Maybe its a little too close to Christmas now for the discerning gentleman to splash out on an expensive leather jacket .. and the arm repair probably put a few potential bidders off....Anyway I'm pretty glad...

As the last few hours pass towards the end of the auction I must admit I am now starting to get cold feet about letting it go...especially if it only just reaches the reserve! Could any gentlemen here reading this please comment upon how you think the jacket fits on me from the photo's...

I Just used a a tailor's tape measure on my chest ... expanded dead on 46" and relaxed dead on 44" Aero wanted to take the relaxed measurement when helping me size up this jacket .. it was custom made for me. Not off the shelf as you would expect from Aero... Just to be clear.. This jacket...
