Why thru AeroI prefer Aero.
Was the production time fast? or cheaper?I chose to go through Thurston Bros rather than directly through Aero because of their fitting process. Carrie was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the process much easier, in my opinion. She answered all of my questions and made good recommendations. I have nothing but good things to say about Thurston. As for taxes, I don't think they are automatically added.

This is exactly why I continue to support Thurston as the US Stockist for Aero.I bought one thru Aero and the next two thru Thurston. The number one concern when buying a custom jacket is fit. With Carrie/Wade, the worry about fit is eliminated. There is no good reason to not go through Thurston.
Do you have a big neck and wide shoulder?I went through Thurston for my Board Racer but without the fit jacket process. I already had a stock Aero jacket purchased via Thurston and Carrie helped me use that jacket as the 'Fit Jacket', although the patterns were quite different (BR vs CR)
Now that I have the experience and understanding, I probably would go via Aero Direct. With their new website, Aero has stopped charging the additional UK VAT for international customers. I am not sure, but I think Thurston still charges the custom duty and the original base price(which included VAT)
If your order from Aero is less than US$800, you will not be charged custom duties in the US
But as I keep on saying, Aero's patterns don't go well with my shoulder/neck shape. So I doubt I will be getting any more Aeros in the near future
