I personally like wearing a Bakerboy or a Gatsby with my Aero Barnstormer. With either style, they seem to be period correct. I also drive a 29 Model A roadster, and now that the weather is cooling down, I have a leather aviator's cap to wear while motoring. I also have a Aero Hercules FQH...

My barnstormer I wish I knew how to post a picture with my reply, however...:eusa_doh: If you go to Mark Moyers home page, and go to the Barnstormers, you will see mine, it's the Russett Jerky Horse hide, with the drill linning. I love it. Mark was fantastic to work with. It fits me...

In the North Dakota museum of aviation, there is a full length leather jump suit worn by the early flyers. It was a chocklate brown in color, and it has a zip front and fur collar. I could not see what the lining was, if there was in fact one. But it was one worn by flyers of the 20's and 30's...

Scotrace Is that a Norfork in your reply? Now that I really like!! Tell me where, and I'll try and get one myself. Nirvana

COLD plain and simple. Nights down to about -35 wind chill, real tempature -5 F. Days, high +7 F, wind chills been around -20's. Friday night so windy could hardly keep a jacket on. Winds 35 to 45, with gusts over 50. Nirvana

I got this from the leather store, where I take some of my good in for repair. He suggested using "White Vinegar" to wipe down my leather goods. Especially my jackets. I am a smoker, and I tried it and to my amazement it did work. To be sure, I did smell like white vinegar until I could air out...

"I prefer pure petroleum jelly for stiffer leathers, belts, hats, etc. and unscented baby oil/mineral oil for leathers I want real soft. Mineral oil on a Brooks saddle is magic." HMMM...That's one I haven't heard of, but I don't know why it wouldn't be just fine. I just bought a pair of...

I wear a tie, SOMETIMES.. In my line of work, FAA inspector, Some days I wear my Black PERRONE leather black jacket, This is the style that Alaska Airlines pilots, and SouthWest pilots wear. I modified mine slightly, in that I had the cuffs made leather without a storm inner elastic, and I had...

:eusa_doh: My apology, it is under Mark Moyer's picture trail, customers jackets. I think you have to find the Barnstormer jacket and click on it. But I am still thrilled about the jacket...It is everything I could ask for. Nirvana P.S. When I got all excited, I didn't get any on the...

It was not a pretty sight, but I was wearing brown trousers if that helps!!!!

Dare I say!!! I like this Barnstormer so much, I just ordered a "Hercules" in the heavy F/Q with the drill lining from AERO. Only modifications is to make the pull straps on the sides just a skosh longer, the vintage color for the zips. (bright brass or silver-no) And I'm having a "Made...

Barnstormer arrived, and I soiled my pants!! The postman left about 45 minutes ago, and here I sit in my New Aero Barnstormer typing this out. OH My!! I think I soiled myself when I took it out of the box. It is a Russett color in Jerky, with drill lining. The fit...it's as if I had went over...

I'll have to chime in here too about the customer service by Mark Moyer. I should be receiving my Russet-Jerky Barnstormer tomorrow. I thought I might have received it today. Should be tomorrow. Anyway, I too E:mailed back and forth with Mark, I don't think he ever sleeps!!! I telephoned him a...

Something else that always goes with a leather jacket would be a turtle neck sweater. Again, a white turtle neck sweater though would be too much of a clash with a black leather coat, in my opinion. I'm trying to think of a color that would go well. Nirvana
