    Do you wear your Aero while driving (does the jacket get seatbelt rash)?

    Very good point.

    Do you wear your Aero while driving (does the jacket get seatbelt rash)?

    I've got a 30's half belt that I absolutely love. When I ordered it Insurrection suggested I get corduroy lining on the interior of the waist to avoid "belt rash"--your belt causing scrapes in the leather. It occurred to me that if you drive regularly in your jacket, a seatbelt could do the...

    Why is it ok to wear Aero FQHH in the rain?

    Any need to dry the leather or wipe the water off after it's been wet? Or do you just throw it on the couch and let it dry naturally?

    Why is it ok to wear Aero FQHH in the rain?

    Not sure where I first heard it, but I was definitely under the impression that the soaking and drying could dry and crack the leather. Thrilled to hear that's not the case with my jacket. The whole reason I got it was to wear it rain or shine.

    Why is it ok to wear Aero FQHH in the rain?

    I just got my first Aero jacket--a brown FQHH half belt. It's unbelievable. A lot of people have recommended breaking it in by getting it very wet, either in the rain or otherwise. Before I got into the Aero world, I was under the impression that you were not supposed to wear leather in the...

    An Thoughts/Ideas Regarding Contrasting Stitching?

    I just got an Aero half belt in brown FQHH with green OD stitching. It looks amazing and I love the stitching. But it's also worth pointing out that it's incredibly subtle. In certain lights you can't even tell there's a contrast. It's the kind of thing that adds to the jacket, but you...

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Thanks very much! And very good eye on the boots. They are indeed Wolverines, though not Addisons. They are 721s, which are a shell cordovan version they came out with a couple years ago. They look great with the jacket!

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Started talking to Insurrection about the jacket in late October and placed the order in very early November. Was originally told that it would be ready around January, but then Aero started to experience delays (they posted about them on their website), so I quickly caught onto the fact that...

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Yeah, I really can't say enough about Insurrection. They did such a good job with the jacket, and they are such nice people. Couldn't be more pleased with them.

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    By the way, would love to hear your break-in tips if anyone has any. I've been wearing the jacket pretty much nonstop since I got it (despite the weather not being cold enough to support that choice). It's softened a bit, but I feel like it's going to take months of wear to actually get...

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Interesting idea. Is that a common thing to do? If you don't use hot water on it, will the collar develop a shape on its own?

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Yep, this is a 38 from Insurrection. I was pretty concerned about the fit when I was ordering, but I gave Wade my height and a couple measurements and he just said, "Yeah, I know exactly how to fit it for you. Don't worry." The fit couldn't have come out better.

    Great! Got the photo up. Thanks for the help!

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Yeah, trying to do it through Photobucket, but it's telling me the URL is invalid. Not sure what the issue is.

    My new aero half belt arrived!!

    Ordered it through Insurrection a while back, and it came over the weekend. I had never seen an Aero in-person before, only seen photos of them online. I was terrified it was going to come, fit poorly, look bad and end up being a colossal waste of money. My wife was pretty skeptical about...

    Wolverine Montgomery - any experiences?

    Just want to add my two cents here: I've got three pairs of Wolverines--each from the 1000 mile line. They are the best boots I've owned. Had them for years, worn them pretty much every day whether I'm going to my office or going on a hike, and they still look pretty much brand new. I can't...

    Waxed Cotton Jacket Maintenance Question

    I have a jacket made of waxed cotton from Halley Stevenson's in Scotland. I'm noticing that it is getting a touch dry; the wax has evaporated some since I got it a year ago. I've read that you ought to replenish the wax in waxed fabric from time to time. Should I apply more wax to this? If...

    Communicating with Aero for USA Buyers

    I just want to chime in here to endorse further endorse Insurrection. I placed an order for my first Aero last week with them, and Wade walked me through the entire process. He jumped on the phone with me several times and guided me with fit decisions, color decisions, liner decisions and on...
