    Tapering on a Aero !950's Half-Belt Question

    I'm about to order a size 40 Aero '50's half-belt that will be "slow rolled" to expand the upper torso, so that it will fit in the upper area like a size 41. But I'm still a bit concerned that the lower portion of the jacket my too wide for my waist, which measures 31" (the measurement was take...

    Aero '50's Half-Belt Configuaration Recomendations for a Mild Climate

    I'd like to order an Aero FQHH '50's half-belt in the lightest configuration possible so that it's suitable for the very mild climate of the North Bay Area of San Francisco. My idea is to get one with the cotton twill lining, sans storm cuffs. Would this configuration be the best I could do to...

    Inquiry Re: Aero Discount Offer for Those Who'd Ordered From Mark Moye

    Does anyone know if the discount offer (20% off next order) made by Aero to those who made orders with Mark Moye still stands? I'm getting ready to order another jacket, so I emailed Aero directly to pose this question, but haven't received a response yet. Thanks for your time.

    *SOLD* For Sale: Aero FQHH Half-Belt Jacket in size 42 (Brown)

    This jacket is one I purchased from Aero Scotland over a decade ago but has only been worn about forty or fifty times, mostly in a concentrated effort to break the jacket in via normal wear (I was not entirely successful, and the jacket needs to be worn a bit more before it has reached an ideal...

    List of Those Owed Funds for Jacket Orders Placed With Mark Moye - Aero USA

    Following HoosierDaddy's recommendation, I've started this thread to see if we can compile a list of those who paid Mark Moye for jacket orders that were never placed with Aero Scotland before he shut down business at Aero USA. In December of 2011 I placed an order on Aero USA's eBay merchant...

    As New Aero Bootlegger Jacket in Steerhide - Standard Size 42

    As the title says, this jacket is essentially in new condition - I wore it once out of the house, before I developed some sophistication in regards to how these jackets should fit, and a few times at home, to break it in. It's not a custom size; I purchased it directly from Aero as a standard...

    Cloth Version of the Half-Belt?

    Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a cloth jacket in a pattern similar to the Aero '50's Half-Belt? I was thinking something like a slightly shorter version of the US M41 Field Jacket (with adjustment straps at the waist like the HB) would be an attractive garment.

    Opinions on the fit of my Aero 50's Half-Belt Requested

    I've owned this jacket on the link below for almost 15 years and have always thought the fit was fairly good. However, after seeing some pictures posted recently of fellow FL members wearing similar jackets, I'm no longer sure the fit is proper...

    Aero Half-belt Lining Question

    I have an Aero horsehide Half-belt that is too heavy for the weather we get here in the northern portion of the the San Francisco Bay Area. Would it be feasible to send it back to Aero to have the Alpaca lining replaced with something thinner? And if so, what material would be recommended...

    WTS - New Buzz Rickson M-41 Field Jacket - Size 44R

    This is a brand new, unworn Buzz Rickson M-41 Field Jacket that is considered the most authentic reproduction of this famous WWII U.S. military garment. This jacket is labeled a size 44R, however, I think it 's more of a 42R. http://s1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/EdwardBrindle/M-41/...

    *Sold* As New Aero FQHH Half Belt - Size 42

    This jacket is one of a pair of Half Belt's I purchased from Aero several years ago. It is in perfect condition, and has been worn, at most, two or three times (inside the house, only). Size: 42 (I didn't order the jacket with any special sizing - will provide exact measurements, if needed)...

    Black Mold Spots on Hat's Leather Sweatband

    In my overzealousness to avoid moth damage to one of my favorite vintage hats, I stowed it away in a rather tightly sealed archival storage box, without consideration for the moisture I sealed away with the hat. Unfortunately, these little dark spots have developed on the thin beige-colored...

    Orignal A-2 Jacket Care

    I have an original WW2 Rough Wear A-2, and I was wondering whether it was best to keep it on a hanger or laid out flat in a drawer or trunk? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
