Double leather (leather lined) cuffs
I'm not talking about storm cuffs. Different animal altogether. You guys lately have it right: double leather in the cuff. Perhaps it is only done on the 30's half belt. At any rate, I love Aero's products. Just curious about the extra heavy double leather cuff. It might not be standard...- Gambetto

Arm Hole Placement in Aero Jackets
Mark-D wrote this statement on 11-15-2012: I received the message that Aero no longer will adjust the placement of the sleeve armholes or the shape of the sleeves on their half belts. So from now on they only offer the half belt with low set armholes and wide sleeves. I was just wondering if...- Gambetto

Searching for my first leather jacket……in Japan. Aero? Rainbow Country? (w/ pics)
I just went back and saw the jacket you ended up buying. It looks fantastic. Very strong color choice and the hide rocks. I'm no expert, so don't quote me. I just know what I've seen online surfing through pics of older half belts from long ago. At any rate, the jacket you picked couldn't...- Gambetto

Searching for my first leather jacket……in Japan. Aero? Rainbow Country? (w/ pics)
I'm going to weigh in here. The jackets look great, but the half belt is kinda high up the back for a true vintage look. I like both of them despite this fact, however. Knit picking about every little "authentic" detail is often counterproductive. I didn't read through all sixteen pages, so...- Gambetto

Just got a pre-owned Aero half belt
How tall are you, Seb? 6"2? I don't see you mentioning your height anywhere but Schizo seems to know. I am curious about the right size to order for the back of a jacket. I am 5"11 and ordering a half belt. Trying to decide between 25.5 and 24.5. I had a 25" and it seemed a bit short. So...- Gambetto

What's your favorite Aero liner?
What kind of Aero liner inside a jacket you own is your favorite? I am allergic to animal hair, so I want to use a type of cotton for the liner in an order that I am putting together for a jacket from Aero. Do I have more to choose from than merely cotton drills? I really like some of...- Gambetto

Horween and other leather companies
http://horween.com/index.php/leathers/ Has anyone toured the Horween factory? What are some other leatherers for famous jacket makers? Where does Aero's new already tanned kudu hides come from? Obviously the hides themselves come from Africa, but which leatherer tans and refines them? Is...- Gambetto

New Aero 'Pioneer'
Here's a pic of a greater Kudu (above). They're fairly large antelopes. I'm guessing Aero's hides come from the greater species of antelope (kudu) rather than the lesser. Greater kudus have a narrow body with long legs, and their coats can range from brown/bluish-grey to reddish-brown. They...- Gambetto

New Aero 'Pioneer'
A natural follow-up question is "How will this new Kudu hide age?" Will it age like goat or more like horse? In my opinion, FQHH ages the best of all hides that I have seen. Goat, on the other hand, does not age nearly as quickly. I wonder if Aero will eventually offer a vintage or pre-aged...- Gambetto

US Wings Current A-2 Sale
The goat ages slowly and tenuously when compared with steer or horse. I wish the pre-aged jackets from this company weren't so darned expensive. . . . .- Gambetto

This jacket has the magic. I feel the fever. Anyone know how thick these unique hides are when compared with steer and horse? I have no experience with deer hides, so that reference is lost on me. . . . .- Gambetto

New Teamster Pics
Did you get fitted in person at Aero's factory? The shoulders, front and back length are phenomenal. The shoulders are wide in a good way, as is the more fitted waist. Usually, the Teamster waist cut is bulky and wide. Your pics of the Teamster put this jacket in a whole new light to me...- Gambetto
