Years ago I bought a goat Aero where they had experimented with some hide to age it , and although it's bullet proof , it's not a great look . If Aero can't age it to look good , I'd leave well alone . I seem to remember that they just made 2 jackets with the hide , and gave up on the experiment .

The Fret Kings were designed by Trevor Wilkinson , originally hand made in Brum before a lot of the production went overseas . Had a day down at the Birmingham factory where I had a long chat with Trevor and Peter Goalby ( ex Uriah Heep ) who was their sales director at the time . Don't know...

Thanks for the Patrick Eggle guitar reference ... as it happens I do have a few of the early Coventry made Patrick Eggle's .. so I get the collectors insanity !

It wasn't my jacket unfortunately, just one that I was watching myself . As long as the buyer is happy , all's good I suppose . I had seen a couple that had sold for under $400 elsewhere , that's why this price surprised me .

a used Vanson A2 style jacket just sold for £550 on fleabay ... don't understand why anyone would pay so much when you could get a custom made Aero for a few quid more ? BTW no offence if the buyer is a member here !

thank you

Best Barnstormer I've ever seen !

Nice jacket how do you find the RiRi zipper ? does it feel as robust as a Talon ?

Hi Carrie was just visiting Seattle whilst on a trip from the UK hopefully I'll be back next summer , and you'll be up and running again glad you're still able to keep going in the meantime Cheers

hoping your store restoration is going okay .. unfortunately my one-off trip to Seattle coincided with your temporary closure

With more/bigger pockets of course ...:)

Maybe they hired AL/SB s mysterious pattern maker ? ;)

Double :eusa_doh:

the current AL site has the original "about" us section complete with WL details
