    The First Jacket.

    I remember watching Empire of the Sun in the late '80's. A lot of the story was over my head at the time, not really a kid's movie. A GREAT adult's movie. But the scene I remember the most was when Jim (young Christian Bale) got his hands on a leather flight jacket. I had no idea what kind...

    Has anyone passed/received a jacket to/from son/dad?

    I've got one last Aero that has been lurking in closet. Wondering if I should save it for my son... he's definitely going to be taller than my 5'10" so it may not fit. All the other jackets are going to be buried with me or donated to the future Fedora Lounge Wing at the Smithsonian.

    What's your care routine for Veg-Tanned Horsehide?

    So I recently got my hands on a Double Helix veg-tanned horsehide jacket (semi-aniline). Appears to have a black pigment finish with a gloss top coat. I'm still in the "meet-cute" phase with this jacket and will post more once I figure out the "warts and all..." But yeah, I'm real happy with...

    Name for this type of jacket? Safari? Travel?

    I found this is the corners of my closet. It's a Paul Smith heavy cotton canvas. Made in India. Bought it years ago, but am only now appreciating it. Does anyone know if this is a "type" of jacket? Haven't really seen this design since. Is it just a fashion style? I just kind of...

    Lesser Known Japanese Jacket Brands

    Anyone have recommendations for Japanese Jackets that are not one of the "heavy hitters" : McCoys, FreeWheelers, Rainbow Country, Double Helix, Y'2. I've heard and looked into Fine Creek. I'm sure there's more out there!

    Help removing Aero Highwayman puller/chain from zipper

    I recently had a Highwayman replaced. I am thankful to Aero for the new jacket, but there are a few quirks with the new replacement. One thing that bugs me is the new puller on the chest pocket. It used to be a nice solid metal ball, but is now a tinny hollow ball with crimped tops...

    Aero customer service-- can't be beat!

    Just wanted to give everyone an update regarding the color fading on my black CXL FQHH Highwayman. I sent it back to Aero and they looked it over and agreed that the fading is excessive. Probably an odd batch of CXL and an isolated incident. They made me a new Highwayman (in only two days!)...

    How do you get custom shoulder width?

    I noticed on the Alexander website that you can specify shoulder width. How exactly does this work? For example, if I ask for a size 44, but with 18" shoulders, doesn't that size 44 pattern dictate the width of the shoulders (from seam to seam)? I don't have 18" shoulders, but just curious...

    How does the color of Aero Cordovan FQHH age?

    Hello, Aero experts. I'm choosing between Cordovan or Brown FQHH on an Aero Maxwell. I like the look of the Cordovan in this sample scrap I have, but I'm wondering what the color will look like in a year or so. The cordovan sample looks darker than the brown sample (which works for me) and...

    How to clean the inside (wool) lining of a leather jacket?

    Hi, everyone. One of the perks of FQHH (at least with Aero, I think) is the easy maintenance. Basically, I read you don't have to do any! Done. But... what do you do to clean the inside? I'm sure over time the inner lining will start to collect sweat/odors, etc. So... how do you clean...

    Highwayman with detachable fur collar?

    Hi, I was thinking of adding a white mouton fur collar (detachable) to my Black FQHH Highwayman on order. Has anyone done this to their Highwayman? Would love some feedback!! I would rarely keep the fur collar on, but like that I have the option.
