    Aero The Magificent

    Just wanted to publicly thank Holly and the incredible team of artisanal masters in Scotland for the masterful work they did on my humble Highwayman's repairs. Needed a new lining, zipper pull and some other little touches. Aero jackets are the best there is IMO, and I hope to visit them...

    Superdry jackets???

    I have my two FQHH from Aero, whom I acknowledge as the premier leather jacket maker in the world, but am getting old and with my shoulder failing, cannot sustain the weight of the Stockman and will probably look to sell it in the near future. The Highwayman is a family heirloom and that will...

    Suede trucker - can you suggest an alternative?

    Funny about the other trucker thread, I guess they are getting popular again. Anyway, I have two Aero FQHHs that are perfect and take me through the colder weather - and that I will take to the grave (though the Stockman is getting a bit heavy on my aging shoulders if I wear it for hours at a...

    Leatherique on FQHH - experience?

    Based upon Aero's website, I purchased a container of Leatherique Rejuvenator and Pristine Clean. I have a 5 year old FQHH brown Stockman, and a 4 year old FQHH Highwayman. Since they are starting to show a bit of wear, I thought it might be time to re-invigorate them. A few questions for...

    FS: Gibson & Barnes Goat Expedition 44T: Excellent condition

    Excellent condition (still has the new smell!) G&B dark brown goatskin Indy jacket 44T. It's about a year old, but only worn twice and has been stored lovingly in a closet designed to hold clothes at room temperature (not too dry, not too moist). Given that I have 3 other leather...

    G&B Expedition 44T - Mint condition

    Am selling my G&B 44-Tall Goatskin Expedition, which is less than one year old and has been worn twice outside. It was stored carefully in a clean, dry closet, is in superb condition and still has the goatskin smell and sheen of a new goatskin Expo. New price for this jacket is $488, I am...

    The Eagle has landed again...in 2009....

    Hi all TFLers, and it is time to once again brief all of you on the unexpected item that turned up at my building today...my new (and corrected) Aero Highwayman in brown regular FQHH. Will was sneaky in sending it out and not telling me, as I suggested they could (and preferably, should ) wait...

    Another New Hwyman...with Questions...

    I just got my new Highwayman today - Aero must be really cranking them out, given how many other forum members have received theirs in the last few days, but I do have a few items I need help on. The fit The fit is very good, and is, to my eye, how the Hwyman should fit, right below the...

    Aero Highwayman or the 50s HB?

    Opinions on anyone who owns both with respect to fit, etc.? And even though I have a Stockman in brown FQHH, I am leaning towards getting my next Aero in the same hide/color. This is because I am not a fan of black since it doesn't really age well. Though I am considering getting the Vintage...

    FS: black Roots leather jacket - Mint

    I am selling a mint, never worn still with tag attached Roots men's black cowhide leather jacket for $150 plus whatever the actual shipping/handling charges will be. I will only ship to US/Canada. The jacket retailed for $248 (as the tag indicates), and is a steal to get a jacket of this...

    Aero Vintage Brown vs. Oil Pull

    I am in the process of thinking through what I want in my next Aero jacket, both in jacket style and hide. Since my initial Aero was in brown FQHH, I wanted to go in a slightly different direction. A shorter jacket than my Stockman, perhaps a modified Highwayman, and while I love the brown...

    THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Aero Stockman Review

    YES!!! The jacket is here, and the master craftsmen and artisans at Aero Scotland have created a masterpiece. At 8:30 am EST 3/29/08, my slightly customized brown FQHH Stockman arrived via USPS and after a duty of $62.00, the box was handed off to me. The only modifications were a cotton...

    Anyone own a 3/4-length FQHH

    My new Aero Stockman FQHH is on its way, and indeed I am quite excited - who wouldn't be? But as for the weight of the jacket, its 4 KG or about 8.8 lbs, and while I have owned cowhide/steerhide jackets before, I am not sure if any of them have clocked in at almost 9 lbs. Does anyone own...

    This might be off-topic - Horse slaughter

    I saw a newspaper ad in today's NY Times about a law regarding banning the shipment of US horses to Mexico or Canada for slaughter. I know that the 50s-era laws banning the slaughter of horses in the US severly damaged the horsehide clothing/leather jacket business, and last year some...
