    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    Nope. I've read it back three times but still can't work out what this is trying to say. Perhaps you could recap and clarify the key points? As that is there, I cannot process it If you're referring to me, (I guess you are) I'm saddened to see that your confusion hasn't yet cleared. I have...

    So who are the Aero Fanboys ( and girls)

    I'm not sure what or who has been 'moderated' but it wasn't me! This is my entry post. Personally, I currently have an aero (which some of you may have heard about) and an AL, with jackets from another three makers on the way. Then I'd quite like to try out a Thedi or maybe even a DD cafe...

    Issue with my new Aero Leather Long Half Belt?

    That's right, hasn't happened to you here. But if, say for example, aero turns around now and tells you you did it yourself - perhaps you packed it the wrong way in your suitcase - then in those circumstances what you'd have to say to us here would not be casting aero in a favourable light. In...

    Issue with my new Aero Leather Long Half Belt?

    Not today old chum it's Christmas! Good luck with your westfall (you have got one ordered, right?) That one is a better pic btw. Laters

    Issue with my new Aero Leather Long Half Belt?

    heavens, what a witty retort. Nevermind that every single word of what I said was accurate, I am, as I'm sure are many others, relieved to see that your well of funny pics is not at all running dry, and that the quality is not at all falling off. Unlike that sleeve on the OP's jacket. Thank aero...

    Solution sought for uncomfortable as hell Red Wing boots

    Anyway, I bought the red wing inner soles and that was the end of my woes. These past few months they've been a joy to wear and if I could find a pair of the black ones in a sale somewhere I'd pounce. I dunno what this type of leather is exactly, but find it a perfect choice for shoes as all of...

    Issue with my new Aero Leather Long Half Belt?

    Well, so long as it wasn't aero I believe you are able to name the company and talk about it freely. If it was then probably better that you say nothing as if you do the pack will descend faster than you can say happy birthday Jesus, and if they can't talk over you or show you up as 'confused'...

    Good Wear Imperial

    "it's interesting" is more. Anyway, it obviously wasn't an attack, just some light hearted banter between virtual pals. I assumed you'd see the funny side given that these words are borrowed from an 'attack' you aimed at me just the other day on another thread, albeit in reference to a...

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    Yes, I've noticed the same thing and have often wondered how your preference for longer than average length looks in real life. I get that you're comfortable with them, and that's the main thing of course, but I am curious. I agree that 'too long' you can still deal with, whereas 'too short'...

    Aero 1920s Original Hercules

    I had to laugh when I read these. Thanks for the tip plum! It is if I wanted to buy another. And I'd guess for anyone else considering one it would be too Worst is, I'm an obsessive packer and pack with military precision, taking care that the items I like are nicely cushioned and...

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    Good pics zhz well done. Probably it is a bit longer than ideal but as I know all too well, better a bit too long than a bit too short! Maybe you can grow into it, or shrink it over time. And if not and you ever do come to sell then that extra length will work to your favour and give you more...

    Teamster and dustbowl

    if you're already getting a Dodger from BK why would you need another short one? The teamster, if it's weather appropriate, seems such an obvious choice, especially when you look at Dav's pictures. Also I think that's a model that works better for bigger guys. And if PN has one too and says it's...

    Good Wear Imperial

    Perhaps if JC reads this he'll fix the pattern? And while he's at it Sloane are there any others you think he should tweak? lol lol After Finally managing to view these I think that considering it was not made for you that is an excellent result. Yeah the breast pocket is higher than you'd...

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    it's hard to see where the jeans end on this photo but the length of the jacket in relation to your whole body doesn't look too long. I suspect you wear your jeans higher than me, in which case you can get away with jackets that are a bit shorter. Also, you height is below average isn't it (if...

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    haha low blow! If I knew exactly how it is supposed to fit I'd know exactly what to do. For instance, if this fits like an aero 30s HB or non shrinking aero original hercules then I'd go 25" long. I suppose given recent goings on half an inch too long has got to be better than half an inch too...
