    New Aero Indecision is killing me...any thoughts appreciated.

    I have a brown HWM and just go a black halfbelt 50's. Good excuse to get more shoes in the matching color!

    Horween and other leather companies

    I have been thru the Horween facility. If you ever get a chance for a tour it is well worth your time. If you don't believe in doing things the old ffashioned way with real craftsman, you will change your mind when you see this place. It is like walking into a time warp. Very interesting...

    vintage your Mid-Weight Horsehide

    I am in the process of trying to break in my black mid weight HH Aero Highwayman. I bought it a few years back and put it in the closet as I like my Heavy brown highwayman so much I never thought about the black too much. I have spent the last 4 weeks wearing the black and it is starting to...

    My new Aero Halfbelt Deluxe...

    I have the same experience. I have 3 heavy horsehide jackets and they seem to drape nicely. I have a mid weight horsehide Highwayman that does not seem to lay as nicely. I think they are tanned differently and the mid weight does need more wear time to break in a bit more. It feels more like my...

    Soft leather A-2

    My ELC A2's are definitely some of the softer jackets I own. If you want to talk about stiff leather, I recall receiving my Aero Front Quarter Horsehide jacket on a freezing cold day in Chicago a few years back and that sucker stood up on its own. I could have beaten it with a baseball bat and I...

    Sleeves too short on new Lost Worlds Ryder jacket?

    Good idea. It is a great looking jacket and at that price it was a steal. Kenal

    Sleeves too short on new Lost Worlds Ryder jacket?

    If that is one of the jackets on the bottom of the sale page it is a heck of a deal. Hopefully you can make it work. Kenal0

    Sleeves too short on new Lost Worlds Ryder jacket?

    It is worth a trip to a local tailor that specializes in working with leather. Maybe there is enough to let it out 1/2" which might do the trick. Are there cuffs in the sleeve? if not maybe adding them is an option. It is not that bad that it is unwearable. Too me it is more important how it...

    Eastman Leather Quality

    It fits pretty true to size compared with my Areo size 40's and my Eastman size 40's. Being one of the few jackets I own without cuffs, I would just double check with Stuart at LW on sleeve length before you order as he can adjust this easily when making a jacket. Kenal0

    Eastman Leather Quality

    I think the tanning and the weight of the hide makes the difference. Kenal0

    Eastman Leather Quality

    I have two Eastman A2's and both are much softer than my Lost Worlds and Aero A2's. Also the dye has worn in areas faster they and have a much more worn look after a shorter amount of wear time. Here is a pic of one of my Eastmans http://img59.imageshack.us/i/img8205m.jpg And my LW A2...

    Aero & Lostworlds Horse Hides

    It is not vintage brown that I recall. I got it a while back and did not think they had a vintage brown back then. I think it is just brown. I have a highwayman in Cherry and a longshoreman in Cordovan that looks very nice. I also have a half belt in brown and a black highwayman in the...
