It was Mountain Leather Design in Vermont. (802)875-4003

I used a company called Mountain Leatherworks. The gal's name is Tish. I believe they were in Maine or Vermont. Let me know if you need more info. They replaced a zipper on an Aero, shortened some sleeves and replaced part of a lining on another Aero. Very reasonable prices and quick...

I picked up a mint 42 1970's Kersey with cotton pockets (just after the swith from corderoy) off eBay for $50 recently.

Question for you. I saw a Langlitz police that was priced close to $2,000. It was very similar to my Aero other than two major details that I liked. 1) it had buckles rather than the Aero CHIPs laces and 2) there were no belt keepers on the waistband. I really liked the cleaner look without...

Thanks guys. It was made for a friend of Aero's owner. Aero used Asian water buffalo for their buffalo hides. They no longer use or offer buffalo as a choice. I snagged it for a really good price of the auction site last year. I had to replace the zipper on it as it was snagged low on the...

HD That jacket reminds me of a buffalo leather Aero I picked up last year. It was a "one off". I never saw the one you posted. Thanks This is the one I picked up...

Head up!! I just looked at the US WINGS site. They have some $400++ jackets on sale for $195. Not bad. I have one or else I would "jump in it".

I heard back from Amanda. The jacket is from the 90's. It is a lower priced "trainee" jacket according to her.

I must confess. I was serious.

Thanks. Now I feel better. Seriously, it's more of a fashion accessory but looked unique.

A head's up. The most beautiful jacket I've ever seen is up on the big auction site. Item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280755978013?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1394wt_1145 It is an olive green Lost Worlds horsehide suburban. Many custom features. Mandarin collar, black...

I just bought a nice size 42 1970 for $49. I wanted a '67 but this was nice It needed two buttons which I sourced as well. There were more small sizes as Trotsky said. Correct me if I'm wrong but since the post war coats had six rather than eight buttons and a different size collar might...

Thanks. What is the easiest/best way to include a photo?
