    Aero 1980 Highwayman, tons of character!

    You just don't see these every day..... I recently acquired this absolute stunner of an original Aero Highwayman jacket. Purchased by the original owner (who I acquired it from) around 1980 from a shop in Taunton UK. It's been well-worn over those 40 or so years & has developed a wonderful...

    What's your 'grab-and-go' jacket...?

    Ok, another simple idea for a thread, what's your favourite grab-and-go jacket? I mean, we all have 'favourite' jackets, some of which hardly see the light of day for one reason or another (eg heavy leather does not always equal ease of use). So I'm curious, which jacket of yours actually sees...

    CV, a new realisation....

    Ok, so I’ve been ‘working from home’ for 2 weeks now. So far so good. We’re also in the final throws of our warmer weather here in Australia. My Wife is also now working from home 100% of the time too... I can see a potential issue here.... What am I supposed to do with the jackets that are...

    Aero J-100 Board Racer; another VERY happy customer

    The latest custom Aero has arrived. I've played around with the Aero cafe racer pattern across 3 jackets now & frankly haven't found 'the one'. The cut is just slightly not suited to my shape.

    Aero Connolly Zip Sleeve Highwayman VGC 42 true to size

    I received this wonderful jacket back in 2016 direct from Aero. Denny informed me that it was originally made in the "early 90's", so you can comfortably claim 25 years or so. Made from their famed Connolly Steerhide, it is just wonderful. Basically, I have worn it a handful of times since...

    Lost Worlds Jean / Trucker Jacket Horsehide + Shearling

    OK, this one has just arrived & I figured there might be some here who'd be interested in seeing this. Not sure actually why LW doesn't get more of a mention around here, perhaps it's the pricepoint which does make them a little more 'exclusive' I guess. This is a Lost World's Horsehide Jeans...

    Cross zips / D pockets, discussion starter...

    ok, I’m over 40. Yup. As much as I want to think I’m still a tear-away youth who can take on the world & stick the middle finger up to anyone who challenges this, my Wife reminds me that this isn’t everyone else’s reality. According to the Wise One, this is my own personal delusion. So, the...

    Here's the latest jacket to arrive in my stable, thought you may be interested in me sharing..... A couple of years ago, I ordered my first custom jacket direct from Aero. A brown FQHH Sheene.

    Quality, leather briefcases & luggage

    hi mods, not 100% sure if the ‘outerwear’ section is the correct place for this, please move if necessary. Thought I’d propose an idea for a new thread. Let’s see your quality, leather briefcases & luggage that you all use. I guess preference is for hand made, but let’s not limit it at this...

    What is it about quality leather jackets...?

    Ok, we're probably a little bit mad around here, but I was wondering; What is it about quality leather jackets that compels you to research, hunt, debate, discuss, acquire & wear these things? For me, I have always loved the idea of a highly skilled craftsperson hand-making an item that is...
