    Aero Sunburst in Dark Russet Goatskin - Fit advice needed

    Thanks for the comments, everyone. I'm sort of in agreement that the sleeves are a tad too long (maybe a cm?), but quite happy with the rest of the fit. I'm loathe to have it shortened as that's resulted in horror stories from me before, so are there any options re. goat? I'm hoping the sleeves...

    Aero Sunburst in Dark Russet Goatskin - Fit advice needed

    Hi all, I've traded in one of my older jackets for an Aero Sunburst in dark russet goatskin. Its a stock "model" jacket that was apparently in their showroom for years and was sold on discount. I've had Aero's FQHH before, but my preference now is towards goatskin as its much more comfortable...

    Mystery "Aero" Half-Belt, need help identifying

    Hi all, I purchased this jacket extremely cheap from a garage sale. The seller says he does not have any information regarding the jacket, as he only used it once for a photo shoot and then was stored for a long time (note the horizontal crease, which I suspect came from folding, which I don't...

    How to reduce FQHH Cordovan bleed?

    I tried the HWT on the collar area, it certainly lightened up some, but there was still some bleeding. I think the dye is coming internally from the leather itself and not just the topcoat. I just had an idea. A "nuclear option" if you will. Perhaps it would be possible to replace all the...

    How to reduce FQHH Cordovan bleed?

    This sounds like a good idea. How much did you scrub? Was it enough to completely strip the color/finish off the area?

    I live in Indonesia. It is indeed very hot and humid.

    How to reduce FQHH Cordovan bleed?

    I have a beautiful FQHH Highwayman in cordovan, which is one of my favorite jackets. It was a custom order mid-2017. I've worn it most of the time, and I've finally gotten it almost to the "soft and buttery" stage. The one issue is regarding cordovan bleed, which if anything, has actually...

    how do you fold your jacket?

    Oh, so you're based in Indonesia too? Yeah, I've sometimes had creatures make a surprise home in my clothes (but never in my jacket, thankfully).

    how do you fold your jacket?

    Air conditioning :D It gets mighty cold in some places. Also, nights and rainy days.

    how do you fold your jacket?

    I stick my FQHH Highwayman on a wide wooden hanger in my car. I find that where I am (Indonesia), the extra heat goes a long way towards breaking in a jacket evenly, especially in long parks in a hot parking lot. When I wear it, its almost as soft and flexible as my mid-weight goat. At home, I...

    CXL Steer vs Horse Flexibility Aero

    I've compared samples between the CXL steerhide and horsehide. Basically crumpling them like clay in my hands for hours. I simply cannot crumple steer as much as horse. IMHO, steer is significantly thicker and has less "give", while horsehide will turn out softer over time.

    New Aero Type III Jean Jacket - Fit advice needed

    Right. Ditch the tan belt for this (I had hoped for the "contrast" look, but oh well...)

    New Aero Type III Jean Jacket - Fit advice needed

    Interesting. The leather seems able to be shaped very well in response to water, so I could conceivably soak just the upper arms and have them shrink down a bit. It could affect the overall sleeve length though.

    New Aero Type III Jean Jacket - Fit advice needed

    Good eye! These are indeed Iron Heart bootcuts, but these are the black overdyed versions. You can see they're already starting to fade a bit into blue over the left pocket where my wallet goes. And yes, they are pretty low.
