    Schott Leather Bomber Jacket

    I have bought in total, three of these jackets, complete with the I-S-674 MS marking. The fur inside isn`t real but the jacket is still warm enough. Two of the jackets I gave to friends who really liked them, and the last one I have kept for myself. These are gorgeous jackets, and you will find...

    Eastman raised prices?

    This maybe old news, but I just visited the ELC website to look at a broken grain B-3 and was shocked to see the price has now risen to £600.00. I am pretty sure it used to be around the £400.00 mark. Is it really worth paying £600.00 for?

    Aviation Leathercraft B3

    Thanks for the advice guys, I think it looks like I`ll be going for an Eastman B3 after all. The picture on their website with the seal horsehide facings looks really reallly good. I would probably have to get a few minor adjustments made to the sleeves - other than that I`ll be ordering a 36...

    Aviation Leathercraft B3

    Hi everyone....was just wondering if anyone here has any experience of Aviation Leathercraft B3s? Info on things like leather and sheepskin quality and thickness would be helpful. Cheers fellas

    Aero MQHH vs. FQHH

    FqHH Bro, I would say definately go with the FQHH- the way it breaks in and begins to soften is amazing....and you know for a fact that it will simply just improve with age. Beleive me, I try and wear mine as much as possible and I am MORE than happy with the quality of FQHH, the way it looks...

    Is your jacket front quarter horsehide?

    This might be off-topic - Horse slaughter

    Its funny how nothing good ever lasts for long.

    This might be off-topic - Horse slaughter

    So hold on guys, what are we actually saying here? Are people suggesting that it will become illegal/practically impossible/ or even more difficult to get hold of horsehide jackets?

    New Aero has arrived!

    WOW Fantastic looking jacket there mate! That leather looks so nice. I would say one of the finest examples of a nice rich brown coloured I have seen. Goes very very nicely with a nice pair of jeans. Is it front quarter horsehide? Also, what exactly is the shade and type of this hide- I`m...

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    Thanks a lot Mr. H. Garzo: The back I got is neither plain or bi swing- It has a straight horizontal line across the back as opposed to the V shaped yolk. I just thought that would look different and also I personally reckon a straight line looks better than a V shape. As well as that I got...

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    Straight out of the box Here are some pics of me wearing my Highwayman, the day it arrived, straight outof the box. Obviously the jacket is a lot more comfie now, and has a lot more creases and looks a whole lot better. :)

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    Thanks for the pics mate. Your jacket is stunning- I just love the sleeves.....you cannot beat the look of well worn, broken in quality leather and I guess you can`t get much better than Aero leather. The colour of yours is very nice as well mate- I was thinking of getting brown myself but I...

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    I agree with you, most people do wear their Highwaymans too long and they don`t look right. But I guess those are Highwaymans bought in stores and such, or either these people don`t know how to wear them right. I`m thin, and around 5ft 8....at Aero they used a 36 regular for the body and...

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    Thanks a lot everyone, I think I will try that misting technique although I have been wearing the jacket quite a fair bit and it does seem to become a little more comfortable each time I wear it, and I think I will enjoy breaking it in. As for the shortness part, yes I did order it shorter...

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    Totally man, the smell is gorgeous, and its strong too.....any time I leave this jacket in a room, the whole room smells of leather. Just love that leather smell, and you are right, I was about halfway opening the box when the smell of that heavy horse hit me. I think from now on all my...

    Aero Highwayman HAS ARRIVED! :)

    The long four weeks of waiting were finally over and the jacket arrived on my doorstep day before yesterday. ;) I am extremely happy with this jacket, and the FQHH is very very heavy and thick, and not to mention stiff. Yes the saying is true about these jackets literally standing up on...

    Yet Another New Aero Highwayman

    Its only a matter of a few days until the Highwayman arrives. Cant wait now. Its a shame that my jacket isn`t here yet as with the weather we have been having lately, it would have been nice to have worn the jacket and worked towards breaking it in. Will post pictures in a new topic as soon...
