Aero Gabardine lining - is this option still available ?

[borisna]

Anyone had a recent order of a jacket from Aero with Gabardine lining?

[Jeff M]

Haven't ordered one with it recently, but I believe it still is available. Why do you ask? Have you heard otherwise?
The best source for the information would be Aero.
Email Amanda and ask her.

Mark from Aero USA said a while ago they don't offer it anymore, I thought maybe they ran out of gabardine at the time...

[Jeff M]

First I've heard of it.
I'd check directly with Amanda at Aero.
Gabardine is not difficult to obtain.
FWIW, I own Aeros with gaberdine and Aeros with cotton twill.
The difference in feel is.....negligible to me. And I have very very sensitive skin.
I actually prefer the twill, as it seems to "breath" better.

[borisna]

cotton twill = cotton drill?

[Jeff M]

Yep.
Mind glitch here.
There "standard" lining.

[borisna]

Jeff could you please post some pics of your jackets with the drill linings?
I ordered a brown HWM and apart from the gabardine option, I can't decide between black or brown drill for the lining, I think that black drill will be a nice color contrast to brown leather

[Jeff M]

Sorry.
Don't do pictures.
I'm one of those folks who hates computers, hates photo download sites, hates digital cameras, hates trying to download photos onto web sites, etc. etc.etc.
There are lots of photos of Aeros with cotton drill linings on the Aero eBay sites. It is the "standard" lining. If you see a photo of an Aero and it's lining isn't either 1) a tartan plaid 2) Wooly alpaca, or 3) shiny, (and it isn't labeled "gaberdine"..which I don't believe any of the Aero USA jackets shown on the photo site have.... ) it's the cotten drill.
Here are just a few photos from the Aero USA eBay site..(You may have to scroll down the side bar to get to the lining photos...then just click on them to enlarge.)

Here is a link to the Aero USA page showing photos of some of their lining options, showing a few pictures of the cotton drill;

They may offer more colors. Don't know.
Again, I'd check with Amanda at Aero.

When i ordered a LHB this May, Mark had emailed Aero Scotland and was told Olive gabardine was no longer available. I was bummed since i liked the brown leather and green lining color
combo.
I would double check with Amanda to make sure.
