    Aero Half Belt - Dry Leather or not??

    @Henrythe8th: No deal!!! I LOVE my jacket now! I love it more and more each time I wear it. It was 100 degrees out today, but I still brought it with me to the theater as it is freezing in there. The leather has changed dramatically and there is no flakiness as in the pics above. I have...

    Wallets

    This thread lead me to look into Unlucky's leather a little more. I just put an order in with Scott "Unlucky" Willis for a belt and a bag. He has been friendly and easy to deal with thus far in our email exchanges as he has informed me of the options. I'm really looking forward to seeing his...

    sliced my Red Wings

    So I sliced my Red Wing (Iron Rangers) the other day on a door that swung open faster than expected.

    Leather quality on new Highwayman

    yes it did. But after Hoosier Daddy's post, I am curious to try Aero's conditioner, which I was unaware of before now. But I would love to see more close ups of other's FQHH jackets to compare my leather with. Mine is about 6 months old now. And I have no other experience with this leather.
