    Aero lining with corduroy

    Me thinks that it would sturdy as hell and look good, but you may not like how the corduroy "grabs" your shirt sleeves every time you put it on or take it off. I know the cotton drill can be grabby enough, which is why many (myself included) have asked for the gabardine or other lining in the...

    Were there no 6'2" people born before the 1950's?

    I'm 6' 4" and 225 lbs., and I essentially cannot find ANY pants, long-sleeve shirts, or jackets at a typical mall-type store. Of course, if you have a 48" waist and 28" inseam, there are hundreds of everything for you to choose from. Clothing is made and merchandised for the fat, not the tall...

    What type and color Aero leather is this?

    Yes, it absolutely looks like Vintage Brown FQHH. I own a Cheyenne that's very similar. It's my favorite Aero hide. I have a black FQHH Highwayman and a brown FQHH Long Half Belt.

    Windward jackets by Montgomery Ward (and copies)

    That jacket is a real beauty. Just a great combination of materials and the usual top-notch Aero quality and workmanship. And the thing is, you could walk into most major malls and buy a "designer" lambskin jacket that's made in China and would actually cost more than your new Windward. I...

    Get a new FQHH Aero sometime.

    New Vintage Brown FQHH Cheyenne

    Wow, a shearling lined FQHH Cheyenne. Better hope for cold weather, because that is going to be REALLY warm. I travel to Chicago, Minneapolis, and the like a lot during winter, so I should get good use out of mine. Winter seems like a distant vision when the temperatures here in...

    New Vintage Brown FQHH Cheyenne

    Thank you. Yes, I admired yours for several months in your postings before mine finally arrived. I actually asked for the one-piece back like you have, but then it arrived as standard, but oh-well.

    New Vintage Brown FQHH Cheyenne

    I've been meaning to post this for a while. I ordered it back in mid-Sept. '09 from Mark Moye (my second order from Mark), and it arrived in late March, pretty much in time for the insufferable heat and humidity that has been the norm in the Northeast US ever since. You guys that live or visit...

    Horsehide beltman belt arrived

    I received both black and brown horsehide belts from The Beltman last week. What a pleasure to see US made craftsmanship at a reasonable price. I can't imagine these belts EVER wearing out. I got 1.25" wide belts, which work fine with jeans, khaki's, slacks, whatever. If you're looking for...

    American Picker's jacket, what is it?

    Yeah, I believe he paid 20 bucks for it. Horsehide to boot.

    Aero buffalo, anyone have any experience with Aero's buffalo hide?

    Can't say whether Bison or Buffalo is Tougher I have owned two pairs of dress shoes made from American bison. Both were Cabela's private label brands that I picked up for less than a hundred bucks per pair. They have both held up much longer than the cowhide shoes I have purchased many times...

    Aero buffalo, anyone have any experience with Aero's buffalo hide?

    Lost World's features American Bison, not Asiatic Water Buffalo, in their buffalo jackets. It looks beautiful in the photos on the website, but seems very pricey.

    Aero Jackets - you get what you pay for...

    ALL Aero jackets are made at the factory in Scotland, using the same materials and quality of workmanship. Mark Moye is simply their sales outlet for the US market. You give up nothing in the product by ordering from him.

    Aero Jackets - you get what you pay for...

    I recently ordered my second Aero from Mark Moye @ Aero Leather USA. He's always been great to work with. No problems whatsoever, and very accomodating. I ordered my first Aero direct from Scotland, before I knew about Mark. I had no problems, and Amanda is great to work with, but I've...

    arrival of new aero highwayman

    My Long Half Belt That's a sweet-looking Highwayman. I'm sitting here now wearing my close to 3 year-old black FQHH Highwayman. I have the cotton drill lining, but I wish I put that strip of leather across the back like you did to help protect it, although the lining shows almost no sign of...

    Aero long jacket in russet buffalo

    Very nice. How long have you had it? Looks like you eliminated the chest pocket, and added the straps on the sleeves like a Californian. The side straps are different looking than my FQHH Long Half Belt also. Anything else I didn't spot? How would you say the stiffness compares to a...

    Aero long jacket in russet buffalo

    Me Too! I'd like to see any russet buffalo Aero's as well. I just placed an order last weekend for the following.... Cheyenne in jerky russet buffalo (4.5 oz.) Size 46 with 2" added to body and sleeves (I'm 6' 4") Two-piece back (in lieu of standard 3-piece) Black Watch Weathered...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    Those additional photos show the color of the steerhide much better. You can go pretty much anywhere and rest assured that you're going to have the most badass jacket in the room. Really, really nice. Makes me think I should get another Aero on order so I can get it well before the cold...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    I love the look of that steerhide. Beauty. The collar is a nice color, but I must say that it's way too big for my taste. A few questions, if you don't mind.... Is the color of the hide cordovan? What sort of lining did you go with? Are there storm cuffs? On the B3, you had the...
