    Has anyone tried Aero factory visit/tour?

    I just hope Tesco isn’t monitoring this thread.

    Has anyone tried Aero factory visit/tour?

    My visit to Aero was on September 19. On Monday, October 9th, my jacket left Scotland and yesterday (Oct. 11th) it arrived at my house in California! I cheated a bit by placing my order online a couple weeks before my trip, but indicated that I would be visiting and making final decisions then...

    How to buy private purchase?

    PayPal, but don’t use PayPal Gift (aka Friends & Family). That’s for sending people money, not for paying for an item.

    Has anyone tried Aero factory visit/tour?

    I can’t disagree. I married a woman from Lancashire! Of course the Aero shop I visited was in Scotland, not England.

    Has anyone tried Aero factory visit/tour?

    I had a great visit to the Aero Leather shop in late September. We were dropping off a friend at the Edinburgh airport prior to a stay in Edinburgh for a few days at the end of a Scotland trip. We did a detour to Galashiels and I spent an hour or so trying on different jackets and deciding what...

    My First Aero-Half Belt Deluxe

    Quite right you are! I forget that on the Aero site, when you click on a particular Lochcarron Tartan, the photo changes but "Royal Stewart" keeps showing in the drop-down menu.

    Visit to Aero Leathers

    Interested to hear if our British members find this an accurate history of the Teds: http://www.edwardianteddyboy.com/page2.htm

    Visit to Aero Leathers

    While I no longer listen to bands like GBH or Chron Gen, other bands of that era hold up well IMO. Some bands like the Buzzcocks might seem more New Wave than punk now, but back then we didn't distinguish between the two very much. I still love listening to them, the Jam, the Clash, Stiff Little...

    Aero Long Half Belt without flap pockets?

    I understand your point, but where is the Highwayman back is supposed to end traditionally, and how much change equals "mucking around"? Adding 1" longer than average doesn't seem like it would change proportions much, vs. adding 4". I'm guessing what I'm thinking of might be 1-2" more than...

    Aero Long Half Belt without flap pockets?

    I had been wondering if it was possible to get a LHB without flap pockets, and now I know! Makes it hard to decide between this option or a Highwayman (which I'd try to get a tad longer than standard, about to the top of my back 501 jean pockets). Hmmm.....

    Received my US Authentic A2 jacket

    It may be tight in the front, but look at the billowing in the back just above the ribbing. Others have commented on sleeve length as well. The fact that you don't see much or any of the ribbing ("tunneling" is the term I just learned thanks to this thread) shows that the sleeve length is too long.

    Panama Hat Thread

    The inside pictures show "Fine Weave," but their site lists a Fine Brisa weave and a (slightly more expensive) Fine Llano weave. Do you know which yours is? Thanks, and very nice hat. I agree with FedOregon though that just because some Panamas can be rolled, doesn't mean it's a good idea...

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    I think Scorsese's "After Hours" is a brilliant black comedy, but it rarely gets mentioned alongside his more well-known masterpieces. It's funny, disturbing and even a bit scary at times, with brillant performances by Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, John Hurd, Terri Garr...
