    Two small scratches on a brand new leather jacket

    Don't worry about it. Within a couple weeks of wearing it you'll have scrapes and scratches on it from bumping into a doorway or getting in and out of your car

    Quick Himel Brothers Review

    I've bought jackets from them before, and currently have 2 Himels that I'm super happy with, but the ordering process can be arduous and it felt a bit like I was dealing with Gilligan or the 3 stooges lol. For my Imperial order, I sent them a fit jacket which was actually one of their Canucks...

    Aero Board Racer: Fit Advice

    I think it looks great in the photos. It's only too tight if it's pulling at the zipper when you zip it up. One thing about this particular jacket is Aero makes them with sleeves that are curved to the point that it will feel tight in the upper chest/shoulder area when you have your arms down at...

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    I've had both highwayman fits in CXL. I didn't like the premiere in CXL. Main issue for me was the collar and neck hole which have a vertical oblong shape (as opposed to round) which causes the collar to always be squeezing into your neck at the sides. I also have a premiere half-belt in vicenza...

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    well, I had an Aero Chips done with a plain back and gussets, and it was great. Not far off from a Highwayman, but the Chips did fit slightly slimmer. Another cool jacket that I stupidly sold lol

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    Regular. Had a Premiere version once but didn't like it, and I sold my regular to get that Premier!

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    I stupidly sold my Highwayman and am thinking about getting another. Thinking about doing a plain back with shoulder gussets. I love the back yoke but I've got another jacket w/that same yoke style, so trying to add some variety. Anyway, has anyone done one with a plain back and shoulder...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    I'm going to add to this list: don't buy an aero jacket with the Premier collar in CXL. The neck hole is shaped like a vertical button hole, and the collar digs into the sides of your neck. You'll feel it too with their softer more forgiving leathers, but it's not as bothersome. But the CXL...

    Horween or Shinki- Whose horse is your pick?

    I own several jackets in shinki, one in horween cxl and one in vicenza, and the cxl is the only one I feel OK about wearing out on a rainy day. And I live in Seattle, the rain capital of the USA LOL. That said, I prefer the shinki for the look, weight, and feel

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    I'll disagree in that based on my experience I wouldn't recommend the regular/heavy CXL for anything 'slim-cut'. With the exception of something like the Ridley. The more generous neck hole and shoulder gussets help make that style wearable in the heavy CXL.

    Aero Highwayman Length Check Help Needed

    It looks like there's nothing wrong with it...it looks the way it's designed to imo. Personally I like mine with a tad extra length, but that's just me. Some of the fans of short jackets here would tell me some of my jackets are too long and are abominations LOL

    The short length of Aero-leather CR

    If you've got a disproportionately short torso is it advisable to go with a short jacket? A little length might help balance you out. I have the opposite problem, my torso is long in proportion to my arms and legs. I've heard that a short jacket in my case will help balance out my look, but...

    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    what i don't like is the idea that the wait is too far out from the time you can file a dispute with either paypal or your credit card company in the event the maker doesn't come through. At 1.5 years they can basically just do what they want, take as long as they want, etc. nothing is holding...

    Fit check: Aero Highwayman 36

    uh oh, those are fighting words around here lol. I'm not sure it's 'a lot of people' here as much as it is a couple very annoyingly persistent guys that will try and convince everyone that 'super-trim and short' is the ONLY way to wear a jacket. Especially one guy in particular who I won't name...
