    No, we didn't send you the Navy Blue; however, the photos of Jeff display the color perfectly!

    Now Taking Custom Aero Orders for April!

    We just got a great order of Vanson in as well! "House" Model Bs, Model Bs, and Comet PLU-3s are all well stocked! *Note--The Comet PLU-3 is Vanson's traditional Comet with three extra inches of body length to approximate historically accurate 1960s cafe' racer jackets. We have...

    The Aero has landed:

    Great jacket! Turned out incredible! To avoid confusion for everyone, Aero included, the stock lengths that the OP refers to are Insurrection stock lengths, which are quite a bit longer in the body and sleeve than Aero's stock lengths on the 1930s Slimfit Half Belt, the Cafe' Racer, the J106...

    Aero 1920's Half Belt Pre-Production Sneak Peak!

    Fit pictures! A tad shorter to keep that 1920s silhouette... This one was designed very nicely with a great black FQHH base! Nice back pleats/gussets with contrast stitching opening up to brown FQHH!

    Graemsay, Your suggestion is good; however, only in theory. For example, take an individual who is a 21" pit to pit (a 42) in a 1960s Schott Perfecto Cafe' Racer--they'll be a 23.5" pit to pit in an Aero Sonoma Racer, a 22" pit to pit in a Vanson PLU-3 Cafe' Racer, and a 21.5" pit to pit in a...

    You can write to us at info@thurston-bros.com We'll be working on the website diligently over the next few weeks. Our goal is to show how all of these jackets fit, just as John Chapman has done with his incredible A-2s! When the J107 is photographed we'll post it up, stating what size the...

    Insurrection Aero stock...

    Wade and Ken have all the details worked out and the Buco J-71 replicas, or what we're calling the Aero J107, will be on our racks by the end of January! We did choose to go with a Harris Tweed lining for our off-the-rack selection, but for custom, it's anything the customer wants!

    Aero 1920's Half Belt Pre-Production Sneak Peak!

    We're currently taking orders for them for guaranteed Feb. delivery... The fit is pretty much just like our 1930s Slimfit Half Belts, with longer bodies and arms than stock. For custom Feb. delivery we can do one up, just like you want it...

    New Buttoned Aero Leather??

    It can also be specified with a double-welted horizontal chest pocket. We haven't specified our February Stuart orders yet, but I definitely would be interested if folks like the Stuart with a zippered chest pocket or a horizontal double-welted chest pocket. The Stuarts we have in stock still...

    New Buttoned Aero Leather??

    The Aero Slimfit Stuart is going to remain an Insurrection style. However, there will be one change--a diamond-shaped Talon chest pull will be in the place of the button on the left chest to clean the jacket up a bit. The fit is still as great as ever!

    Anybody Know About Thurston​ Bros. Rough Wear​ in Seattle?

    I might have an idea about this place... I heard the site--www.thurston-bros.com--would be up and running, in full, by Feb. ;) The slideshow on the first page is a lot of fun... Other pages will open up from being password protected once I have them finished... As a seamstress, I never...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    The diamond (triangle) point can unnecessarily enlarge the holes from the previous stitching. The diamond point also makes it too easy to make mistakes because it doesn't provide resistance, making it harder to follow the old stitch holes. When sewing new, fresh leather, use a 18 to 22 diamond...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    For zipper replacement, it depends...I usually use a 16, 18, or 20. On a thicker jacket, such as an Aero steerhide, I use an 18 needle. However, sometimes I need to go up to a 20 if I'm replacing a zipper WITH a wind flap. You don't want to use a triangle point because the holes are...

    I don't think I have enough posts to receive PMs... I apologize... We'll be photographing the new stock today and getting it up on the website soon. Ken and Wade have been in a great deal of communication in order to see that Insurrection gets what it needs to have enough production slots to...

    Insurrection Aero stock...

    Insurrection is great with stock for December Christmas sales, with good amounts of Aero Cafe' Racers, Aero 1930s Slimfit Halfbelts, and Vanson PLU-3s. Further, Ken, in order to show the United States more Aero offerings, has sent us some great items, including the Aero Stockman, Barnstormer...
