    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 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...

    New Aero Type III Jean Jacket - Fit advice needed

    Hi all, I've just received my newest Aero, a Type III jean jacket in soft black steerhide, which is one of their "test" apprentice jackets from stock. Less than half the price! The soft black steerhide is *very* good. Broken in and comfortable out of the box, and showing a lot of grain. Pity...

    Getting a second Aero Jacket, what style should I get?

    Hi all, On the heels of my first Aero jacket (Cordovan Zip-Sleeve Highwayman), I'm thinking of another one in a lighter sort of leather, which I can use as a travel jacket (It's true what they say that it's addicting). To round it off, I'm thinking of a more formal-looking style which I can...

    First Aero custom jacket, some thoughts and anything to look out for?

    Hi All, I have been considering a leather jacket for a while, and decided I would have one custom made for my build. I plan for this to be my only leather jacket, so I want it to fit properly. I've narrowed it down to two styles: either an Aero Highwayman or Aero Windward, both in tumbled...
