No offense, but you are projecting way too much onto making a jacket.Both makers have aesthetic beauties that are unique to each. Himel looks to have an exquisite refinement in construction probably on the top of the heap...Aero's jackets bring the viewer into overcast visions of the tranquil Scottish fog; a semi-cottage industry creation retaining the properties of nature and its divinity. The seamstress is not at all unlike the painter. Passion. Craft. Art baby. History. Homage to the living and the past in a single garment.
They are not equal. Honestly, I am really annoyed about how unfairly makers such as FH, FW, RMC, and Himel are treated on this forum because they are not Aero or GW.
Everyone knows GW is better than Aero and let's all be honest, if you take everything into account, so are all other brands I mentioned above. The construction quality, materials, and attention to detail is higher. That does NOT mean that they are worth the extra cost at all. However, if you look objectively, technically, they are slightly better jackets.
Everyone is going to hate me for saying this, but someone prove to me otherwise. I have handled all of the jackets mentioned other than FW (and I do own FW products that are not leather jackets) so I do have the experience to say this. There is no question Aero are slightly below. It is slight, but it is there.
I know this is a rant, but years of Aero Zionism has pushed me to this. At the end of the day, of course you'll end up with a great jacket no matter what you choose, but there is a lot of misinformation on this forum due to favoritism to Aero.
Also, I really don't mean to single out Nick here at all. This is years of buildup haha
