    Show us your vintage half-belts

    This jacket has been sold on ebay Germany some time ago (2 years +)! I had it on my watch list! It sold for more than 400 USD which was too much for me that time! A beautiful jacket!

    Best Place to sell an used Aero jacket

    I have also emailed Holly because I wanted to trade in a jacket a few weeks ago! She apologized that it took her a while to answer because of the huge amount of emails she has to answer! It has been discussed here that Aero have some problems to deal with so I personally would stay calm and wait...

    Cirrus Flying Jacket

    I purchased a custom made Cirrus sheepskin coat on ebay last year! A real bargain for the price I have paid! Great, well made jackets if you are not looking for a perfect repro! Regards Verena

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I must admit that I wouldn`t ever have recognized fussel`s LHB as a steerhide jacket by just looking at the photos! The grain on my FQHH halfbelt is similar in many areas. So I agree that the weight is the only thing that can help us here! For comparision: Stuart , size 38, cotton lining...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I also contacted Holly and asked her to check my 2011 Stuart and Halfbelt. The Stuart is confirmed as horsehide. The answer on my Halfbelt is still pending. I was under the impression that the Halfbelt might be a hybrid because the top panels of both sleeves are much thicker than the rest of the...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Totally agreed!!! In my opinion Aero is a company with top quality products and sterling customer service! And I think the way they are dealing with this special situation is simply outstanding! I can understand that it is extremly annoying when you spent 500 $+ on a jacket that has not even...

    Wanted aero long half belt size 38? Or perhaps the hercules?

    Have a look at Aero Leathers Sale/Used/ Vintage site: http://aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=787! You can ask for the measurements! This site is always worth a look but ebay can be less expensive! Cheers, Verena

    Need photos - please help

    Just sold but it think it shows the true color: A LW Tanker jacket! Lost World`s russet HH is more a milk-chocolate brown, I think! But I like it!

    What's the Story with "Apprentice Made" from Aero

    I think that is true! When I got my husband`s jacket I asked Amanda if there was a chance that an apprentice would make a size 48 Highwayman in brown and she replied that there will be no more new apprentice made jackets. All of Aero`s new machinists have now graduated and there are no new...

    What's the Story with "Apprentice Made" from Aero

    I have bought a Highwayman in very heavy steerhide for my husband! The leather is great! In fact there are a few issues with the workmanship! I have noticed a few stitching holes for example. And the lining in the cuffs is not really perfect! But I think you will not notice any of it while you...

    WTB: Well made black (or maybe cordovan) leather jacket size 36/38/40!

    Hi loungers! I am looking for a black leather jacket in good condition! Should be well made (Aero, LW, Eastman... or a good vintage)! Size should be approx. 38. Sizes 36 or 40 might also fit! I prefer horsehide, steerhide or goatskin for the shell and cotton, nylon or a lighter tartan as a...
