    FS: Original A2 Poughkeepsie

    I bought this jacket about 5 years ago from Aero Scotland (on their sales page) and it's believed to be a Poughkeepsie. I'm afraid i'm no expert on A2's however, there are plenty around here so maybe someone could confirm this. As the original lining was missing it has a replacement Aero...

    FS: William Lennon tan waxy boots, size 9

    Up for sale are a lovely pair of William Lennon boots. Worn but in great condition with many miles left in them. I've had rubber soles attached to the original leather soles for a bit of added grip and wear (of course, these can be replaced by you cobbler). Blurb from their site reads...

    Amazing A2 ... but original?

    Anyone else come across this on the 'bay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VTG-Mens-WW2-A2-Horsehide-Leather-Flight-Jacket-Named-MARKET-GARDEN-OVERLORD... It's got all the bells & whistles; patches, field modded collar, etc. and the patina is just incredible. Too good to be genuine? Hefty price tag...

    Old Highwayman seeks new owner - size 40- SOLD!!!

    I've decided to sell on this fantastic old Aero Highwayman as it's just not getting enough of my attention. Why? Well, i've got several other Aero jackets (yes, i'm one of those crazy 'Aerophiles') which still need lots of breaking in plus I think it's about an inch too short in the sleeves if...

    Old Highwayman will ride again!

    Last week I won an 'bay auction for this well worn Aero Highwayman. This jacket looks like its seen some action! - just look at the wear pattern down the sleeves. The leather is very thick steerhide but not at all stiff, I guess testament to the fact that those tough years spent breaking-in...
