    Dying leather

    I bought a leather jacket a while back that I really would like to modify to make it more easy on the eyes and less flashy. The jacket is mostly black. That's where the mostly becomes a problem. Some parts like shoulder, elbow patches are... white and I would like to change those to black or at...

    The A-2 review

    HPA not good It's too bad we have to deal with these people. First, they charge an extra 3.5% when they take credit card orders. Next I couldn't get them to send me one email. I always have to call their long distance number (no tall-free). Add to this that they always seem to be surprised when...

    How many is too many?

    Shape... That thread makes me think and rethink about something I tried keeping in the back of my mind. I already posted a thread about Aero Half Belt vs. Highwayman. The suggestions which I got are that both jackets have a different cut. However, there is a jacket that I like wearing. It's not...

    Experience with Wested?

    Follow up I just had a chat with Gemma on the phone. As it turns out, the busy factor is really what is causing all this lack of attention and follow up. I was able to order on the phone while I was hearing a hammer banging cheerfully in the background, probably someone fixing some hardware on...

    Experience with Wested?

    If only... ... I could talk to Peter instead of Gemma! That lady doesn't have a good week obviously. Now she doesn't even reply to my emails. I can't wait for me to call and ask for Peter. She is going to hang up on me! Arg!

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    ELC in Large Eastman jackets are exactly 1" longer in the sleeves and back. Same shoulder and waist dimensions. They are doing that on all their jackets (so does wested on the Indy jacket.)

    Experience with Wested?

    The request form only appears for the indy jacket not for the movie repros (they are sized with the US style from S to XL). Gemma's accent is a bit thick but not too much of a problem. I probably caught her in a bad day... Her email replies are hilarous though! Wonder where she went study.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    ELC I ordered my B-3 with ELC one size above as recommended by another member, just to get my back and cuffs covered. It's a bit roomy but so comfy!

    Buzz Rickson Catalog?

    History Preservation I received a Buzz Rickson catalog (English/Japanese) from History Preservation and I am sure they can send you one if you call them. http://historypreservation.com/hpassociates/contactus.php

    Experience with Wested?

    Hello, I was wondering how you guys deal with Wested for your custom orders/inquiries. That Gemma person is really hard to talk to. I call from overseas and ask about ordering a jacket with a L instead of R. That option doesn't appear on the shopping cart web app they are using. I just sent 3...

    Aero Leather Clothing inside lining

    I just start to realize that each Aero civil leather jacket I got (a total of 4 now including Elvis, Veste de Rallye, Highwayman, Half Belt) all have the same distinction of the lining being stitched very close from the seam of the back and the cuffs. I asked them if there is an option to have...

    Aero, Flightsuits or Flightjacket; A-2 Advice for new guy.

    Jacket size Hi garzo, Nice to hear your experience with the A2. Can you tell me what you call a perfect 44R, particularly the arm length (from shoulder seam to bottom knitted wool cuff) and the back length (from collar seam to bottom of jacket). I consider myself a 44L and would be curious...

    Black leather sportcoat

    Match I've got many black leather jackets in different styles. I usually wear a dark color sweater, turtleneck or sweatshirt with them. I've got black, dark red, charcoal and even dark navy blue. I never go with shirts with black leather jackets. A lighter color sweater underneath doesn't look...

    Care for your A-2?

    Wait a minute... That pecard stuff is really heavy and I had a hard time removing the excess after applying to my new Aero FQHH. I applied generously with my bare hands (if it's good for the horsehide, it's good for my skin ;-) Then I left it a couple of days sweating in the closet on a hanger...

    Search For "Fonz" Style Jacket

    Aero not even close I checked the Aero photos. It's basically a Highwayman with wool cuff and bottom. The collar shape doesn't even come close to the original model. I wouldn't recommend that jacket if you are really after the authentic look.

    Australian Duster

    What are good brands and ways to get an original Australian duster (I live in the US)? I am looking for a model without the 'wings' on the shoulders. What makes do you recommend that are built with good craftsmanship?
