Cheers jan, I take it these things like Pecards?

Hi Everyone, Recently acquired an Aero B-6 and was wondering what the deal with the lacquer coating is? I understand that wartime versions would crackle and grain over time leading to a "crusty" finish. I take it that's also true of the Aero repros but over what time scale? I've had...

A word of caution on too many mods with an A2, or getting too unique with an Aero. One of the great benefits of Aeroleather is their trade in policy - if you don't like the jacket after a couple of years you can get a very decent trade in discount on your next. If these mods will harm the...

I'm tempted to say any whiskey that costs me nothing, preferably Irish but as this is a Scotch thread, so if I'm buying it has to be a Laphroaig. Ideally a Quarter Cask or a Cask strength bottling After than any of the single malts with a strong sea or peaty character.

Appreciate the input P564 - on the collar buttons it must be millimeters and not many at that. I think it's a case of everything was put in the right place but due to the grain of the leather or being off by 1 or 2mm on one side leads to a larger affect when finished. As it is I can't see where...

For a start this does not yet affect me - I live in Ireland and the only way to get CCW is to join the Police Force and get assigned to armed duty. Secondly this is not outerwear but I don't know where else to post it. That said, there is the possibility that we might emigrate. Although...

Having just received a HH A-2 from Aero and re-reading this thread it might be worth noting the slight "imperfections" I found. 1. the hanger is slightly off centre. Given the back is one piece and reference points are minimal I guess this would also happen quite often with wartime...

Interesting question Fiver. If I was a military nut or collector I'd go for the original. Wouldn't even blink. But I'm not - however I'd still have trouble making my mind up. An original will have the cachet, the history and probably some faded decals and badges, as well as a lived in...

Hi Guys, My Apologies, no pics yet but they wouldn't do justice to the feel or the smell :D It's a 42-15142-P smooth seal horse hide, red cotton twill lining and nickel\steel Talon zip. The custom inside wallet pockets are also in red cotton and well executed. There really is no...

Some excellent points Fiver but not having been there on the production lines I have to rely on imagination and history. Way back then we saw the birth or re-development of Quality Control, primarily in an effort to make sure as many bullets, bombs, weapons and other ordanance functioned as...

No worries Wayne - I didn't take the refund so still have the scarf to remind me of the experience. Their website has yet to be updated though and while it gives dimensions at 70" x 11" it's closer to 60" x 8" and still implies it is a double layer scarf. I'm sure these things take time and...

They look great - unfortunately I don't read Japanese and try as I might I'd be a bit nervous about ordering through their site. However it appears they have a London presence 350 High Road, East Finchley, London N2 9AB UK Might give it a shot when I'm over there for the High Voltage...

Result!!! Update to the latest goings on.... I found www.trustpilot.co.uk which appears to be a Review blog which already had a couple of reviews of flightstore. When you post it copies in enquiries@flightstore.co.uk so they are aware of what's going on, so I posted my faintly damning...

Sorry mate - nearest I've seen are artisan scarves that are hand knitted in silk. The only place I've seen them is at Christmas markets and are quite feminine - not quite biker fare.

I'm all for giving e-companies the benefit of the doubt but in this case I don't think it is implied that it could be folded to produce a double layer, it is more explicit that it has been folded to be a double layer. Other than that the dimensions are similar to other scarves - 60"x8"
