    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Even though you keep on coming here and saying what a difficult time this has been for you. A jury heard 3 weeks of evidence and decided that the evidence of the AL machinists was, at the very least, not to be trusted. They were the ones who needed to be convinced. The main difficulty...

    Who do you mean by "us", Hidetanner. Don't be shy/embarrassed/evasive: introduce yourself properly.

    Incorrect: it lightened the mood. Rather than appointing yourself arbiter of board conduct, perhaps you should consider a more pertinent question: who is Hidetanner in real life. Go on Hidetanner - tell everyone which family you belong to (And why is he still unable to master the...

    Props to the last four posts. Fine writing in the face of a stubbornly tedious poster who keeps promising to leave this thread, but has managed more farewell performances than Sinatra Bravo! :D GoaM

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Several times I've been tempted to defend Paddy. Here we go. It was quite clear from Paddy's post that he thought the trial was ongoing, and wisely thought it rash to discuss a case while it was still live. I believe the bartenders clarified that Sloan's jury thread was post-trial, hence...

    I'm sure this is not your intention but your comments sound rather rude. Sloan is an experienced court journalist, and court reports must be factual and impartial He can only report what was said by witnesses, the defence and prosecution in court. As we know, the defence chose not to call...

    How would "no comment" be helpful? In any case, Alexander Leather have already put out that statement where they say that they want their jackets to speak for them (ie thick-skinned - and nowadays - a hard sell)

    You know drifterproductions, the seller on eBay and how his Alexander Leather descriptions ran "ABOUT ALEXANDER LEATHERS: Alexander leathers is the creation of Sandy Alexander, founder of the Schuh fashion footwear business, and Will Lauder, a leather industry “veteran” with over 30 years...

    So jackets were going from 2003? And here's a thought: do we only have Will's word that he truly was working ridiculous hours, as professed in new evidence? It's not mentioned in anyone else's testimony, except as hearsay from Will

    This has been massively discussed. Plus Paddy's comment removed from the thread, and then it was unlocked That's the management asking us to move on, and forward. Sloan: you said the Lounge got mentioned in court. Aside from the Skip Horween statement, was TFL mentioned by anyone else -...

    I'm not gloating, but I am very shocked. Jackets stolen while they were in production? And: stealing children's jackets?

    Great stuff again Sloan. Decent of the cops to rock up at a reasonable hour And poor cops having to pack away all that stuff: I can barely handle holiday suitcases

    Let's not get bogged into becoming a thread that discusses itself, that's a bit meta Moving onwards and upwards

    But there is such a thing as a trained court reporter I am loving your work Sloan. God knows, it must take you ages. Thank you

    shrinking aero anyone?

    BTW I do find you all really informative here. I've been collecting vintage leather jackets of a different kind (Gaultier, Quant) and the threads on cleaning, fumigating (smoke) and - as a last resort - how to rinse carefully in the washing machine have been fantastic and helpful. :) I'm...
