    Does leather burn?

    fire proof excuse my remark, but did you really think a salesman trick does any good to your jacket? fire causes damage. oil and / or wax are part of most leather treatment products and of course inflamable. even real leather could burn after a while, as it contains burnable fat - never let...

    Aero Jackets in really cold weather

    TOO COLD ? any kind of cloth under your leather will do it - shirt, sweater and vest under your leather jacket / coat - depending on daily weather condition - a woolen liner or sheepskin liner will do it on worst days- kind regards and all the best to you... JohnRawson
