    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Another sign that the apocalypse is upon us! :mad: And while I'm at it, what does bilshy/bolshy mean?

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    Is it me or are there a disproportionate number of crazy folk associated in one form or another with leather jackets (present company excluded, of course)?

    The Road to Galashiels.

    Nice. The part about the jacket getting smaller in the closet resonates - I swear that if you don't wear them, they shrink (at least that's my story...).

    Himel Brothers Leather Co.

    Ishmael I'm not sure how you find some of this stuff but I, for one, am grateful. I've been introduced to a whole world of leather jackets that I would not have known about thanks to your "research"! :eusa_clap I too think that David Himel is making some fine looking garments, I just...

    New Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    I just had Johnson's do some work on an Aero (removing a wind flap from a used Highwayman) and a Vanson (new lining) - quality work done quickly for a reasonable fee with an actual sense that they appreciated the business. Refreshing. I highly recommend these guys. Oh yeah, no drama.

    How Come I've Never Heard of Cal-Leathers on FL Before?

    Those Rainbow Country jackets are approaching $2k and I must confess if there was a local retailer I'd probably own one (of course my wife and kids call me a fool all the time ... :eusa_doh:)

    Just curious. ;)

    Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?

    I hope - and want to believe that - you're right WDW (you've had a chance to meet some, or all, of the players face-to-face; the rest of us are communicating via email or the occasional call).

    Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?

    This isn't a debate about the relative merits of Belstaff versus Aero products. And this isn't a debate about the value of Aero jackets, with or without a VAT. This is about honesty.

    Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?

    I too have been watching this story unfold with a great deal of interest. I'm not sure that anyone has been "damaged" and I certainly don't mean to suggest that I have a clue what a solution for this problem is but I repeat an earlier observation which I made about Aero - that this was the...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    And let us not forget the fact that they collect VAT from non-EU customers and pocket it (something that they failed to disclose until challenged - oops).

    Nickel or Brass Zips with Black FQHH Highwayman?

    IM me with your email address and I'll send some pics of a black Highwayman with brass (not vintage) zips. I wouldn't have chosen this but I think it looks great.

    Communicating with Aero for USA Buyers

    You didn't include what I did (and what I suspect others do) - change mind 15 times, think of new things at the last minute...

    my first post, and my first aero...an older steerhide highwayman.

    I take comfort in that.

    Searching for my first leather jacket……in Japan. Aero? Rainbow Country? (w/ pics)

    There are many jealous people on this forum (including yours truly). Enjoy!

    Staff changes at Aero Leather

    I was hoping to visit the shop someday and get fitted for a Stuart (of course, now that I've discovered Rainbow Country I may be "turning Japanese"...)

    my first post, and my first aero...an older steerhide highwayman.

    Not a movie guy, eh? I am resisting the urge to start quoting Joe Pesci's character from Goodfellas (you know, clowns - "I amuse you?"). :D BTW - guilty as charged, sorry Dude (it was the name that got me going). And PC's advice is spot on...

    Griff, a man of such refined tastes as yourself should know about The Big Lebowski.

    1930's Slim-Fit Half Belt

    +1 It's funny how our eyes can play tricks like that (because the sentence doesn't really make sense as written, I read it to be "can't" as well). But, on a personal note, JanSolo has cost me some serious cash as I have tried to replicate his amazing designs. Now I have Ishmael opening me up...
