    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Please have a look at my Aero 1930s halfbelt specs

    Thanks for your remarks! Concerning the leather: I wanted to express that they should choose the softest hide they have out of the regular FQHH stuff. I've reworked the leather specs (do you think it's clearer now?): Leather - Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide - Leather color: Brown (the...

    Sizing of a Aero 1930s halfbelt

    Thanks for your answer Boyo. I do not intend to use it on a motorcycle (for this purpose I'm using a kangaroo racing suit). As the style of the 1930s halfbelt is intended for use with high waisted trousers: How much body length should I add for use with low waisted jeans? I've measured again...

    Sizing of a Aero 1930s halfbelt

    In order to determine my perfect sleeve length, I've measured several well-fitting jackets. The measured jackets were pretty thin. How much length would you add considering FQHH and probable folding and creasing? By the way: my perect sleeve length is 24.5-24.75".

    What is it about horsehide?

    I've received three leather samples from Aero: - brown heavy steer - brown FQHH - vintage brown FQHH From the samples I got it seems that steer is much softer and more pliable and that its color gets lighter when stretched (which I really like; the both horses do not behave this way). Is this a...
