    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Hello fellow A1'ers Its been a while since I visited the forum - I hope that the issues with the Aero/Aero USA matters have concluded satisfactorily. Well summer in jolly old England has now passed and the A1 made its first outing couple of weeks ago when I drove to Wales for the day - in my...

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    But like I said one of the considerations was the company (Aero) being an UK company - and the OTHER was the 'design' which at Sero was CLOSER to the design I wanted - which was to be the same as Alain De Cadanets A1. I felt Aero ticked BOTH these boxes. The design of ELC and GW did not...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Just spent a few days (in short spurts) reading all 56 pages and am so sorry to hear about the sad state of affairs for those who placed orders via Aero USA. I am new here - in the jackets section at least and am an owner of a new A1. I personally did not even know about Aero USA. When I was...

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    The weekend is near and all of a sudden I am secretly hoping the weather is NOT going to be too nice so i can wear my A1! Have a day at Bonham Aston Martin Auction planned with a fair bit of driving from London to Birmingham to Pagnell. I imagine sadly the weather will be too warm for my...

    Sorry old fellow, just read your earlier comments - wishing you luck with your GW A1! The wait will be worth it.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Gents, I feel as if I may have created some negative energy, completely unintentionally. I may have made some 'over-excited' comments about my Aero A1 and it was simply because having done my OWN little research and having looked at GW, ELC etc - I ordered with Aero. I felt the Aero jacket was...

    Not impressed with their version of the A1 either and the price is way too high! I'd rather go with an Aero A1 - which is lovely in the way it is put together and also nicely designed etc.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    That is a lovely. I wish you well in that. I am a classic car buff and hope to be able to have a few in the next years to come. Hoping a few soft top cars will give me the chance to show of the A1.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Drove to Wales and back - lovely sunny day for a change - had my Persol Aviator glasses on, the Landrover Freelander freshly cleaned, the light brown chinos and blue shirt with my NEW flat cap from Bates (worn back to front) - but sadly TOO WARM a day and could NOT wear my Aero A1...!:( On way...

    I live in suit/tie but NOT forced - its my comfort zone and my 'skin' if you like. But the A1 is a my alternative weekend treat!

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Just been having a WIDER read of the forum and the Outwear section in particular. What I noticed is that there are/were a hell of a lot of threads/discussion on Aero. Whilst I have noticed much of the views here in my short time have been less favourable of my Aero/A1 with preferences by...

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    That is a tricky one but at least you have an A1 and A2 each. I have a few other jackets from 'retro' shops a lovely tan one which I really like and a similar black one both sort 70s/Fonz style (not sure what they called). The others are not so great plus a biker jacket I purchased BEFORE the...
