    Any owners of the: Aero 'Cafe Racer'--"Aged Tan Steerhide" ?

    Hi there. My first Aero was the cafe racer in aged tan steerhide. It's an awesome hide in a remarkable color. The "aging" roughs up the leather, in a good way, not a cheap "mall" way. Wear it out in the rain or a wet snow a few times and you'll be hard pressed to see where Aero's aging ends and...

    Vintage Military Jacket - Need a great tailor (Calgary area)

    Try Giovanni's ... on 17th Ave and about 37th Street SW... he's a tailor and makes fine bespoke suits and wool overcoats. If he can't help you, he might know who can. Best of luck! Adam

    New Aero Arrival

    Indeed, I was inspired by HD's new Boot... ... I took the plunge, given the price reduction, and committed to that sale Bootlegger. I normally take a 44", but I thought it would be worthwhile to look into the measurements; I wrote to Amanda and asked for the details. They were a touch...

    For Sale: Aero Leather Half Belt and Elvis Heavy Horse hide jackets Size 44

    Add "measurements" to the request for price and photos... Can you provide the various jacket measurements, too, please? And, it would also be helpful if you would provide your particular measurements (height, waist, sleeve) and an accurate description of how the jackets fit you.

    Aero Flat Tracker

    I checked with Amanda at Aero and she tells me that this particular jacket is designed by Rocker Speedshop, the French vendor (and designer) of the jacket in the picture. It looks like a cafe racer, but with Indian Ranger sleeves and double side pulls. I've emailed Rocker Speedshop...

    How to Break In Horsehide Quickly

    Breaking in vintage HH Aero's vintage HH is soft and supple out of the box and doesn't require any break in, in that regard. But, can you tell me if your (spray bottle) method would still assist a new jacket in vintage HH to mold to the body? And, does it "shrink" to the body when worn...

    Calling all Aero Bootleggers, 1930s slim halfbelts, and Herculeses...

    Speak of the little devil... it's the waiting that's the worst! The good folks at Aero came through... now, if only the good folks at Canada Customs would do the same and let my custom boot back on the pony express to my door, I'd be one happy guy! Here are a couple advance shots of my...

    Frye Jayden Chelsea boots...

    Generally, I'd say that the lace up, zip up, and Chelsea (with elastic double-side goring), boots fit true to size; pull ons (without elastic goring and without zippers) force you to go a size up and take up the inner slack with an insole. But I have a high instep, so it might just be my...

    Frye Jayden Chelsea boots...

    Anybody own these? I'm curious about the leather, and the durability. Are they form over function? Comfort? Quality? And while I'm on the subject of boots... what boot would you wear with a black horsehide Aero bootlegger? Here are some in the running... all but the last are Frye...

    Oil pull and jerky hides

    Thanks, gentlemen. Very helpful, indeed. I had something different in mind for an Aero Bootlegger, but have abandoned the idea and gone back to working with brown FQHH. This is a terrible affliction... my custom 1930s Bootlegger in vintage black HH hasn't even left the factory yet and I'm...

    Oil pull and jerky hides

    Here's my understanding, which, admittedly, is very simplistic: "Jerky" refers to the "raw", grainy, naturally blemished unmatched hide used in a jacket (some smooth areas, and some not so smooth areas, both in one piece of hide). Follows the waste-not-want-not approach to utilizing as much...

    Calling all Aero Bootleggers, 1930s slim halfbelts, and Herculeses...

    Me too, buddy, me too! I'm anxious and eager and trepidatious... I wonder if this is what it feels like to wait for a mail-order bride? Of course, if this works, and I'm as taken with the fit and styling as I expect to be, I'm afraid to think of how quick a turnaround it will be before I...

    Calling all Aero Bootleggers, 1930s slim halfbelts, and Herculeses...

    Thanks, Rufus. I'm just waiting on a reply from Mark Moye to confirm that my order's taken care of. I've gone with 27" in the back, which makes it the same as my Aero Cafe Racer, in vintage black HH. I'm very excited and eager to have this! Thanks for your help along the way. Adam

    Looking for photos of Aero Cossack

    Hello folks, I'm looking to see some photos of the Aero Cossack, real life stuff, on person. And if you could include your height, so I have a sense of how this might fit me, that'd be even better! And if anybody has vintage cordovan HH, I'd like to see this, too. Thanks to those of...

    GREAT AERO half belt thread.

    Can you tell me what size you ordered? I'm building a custom 1930s halfbelt slim fit with bootlegger front, and I'm trying to work out the length. I don't want a short jacket (ie: sitting at the belt line of a typical low waist jeans; I want it longer than that, at least a couple inches below...

    Aero 50´s vs 30´s Halfbelt?

    HD, more details about your Aero Levi style jacket please... HD, I've been putting together a Frankenbelt for Aero to construct, much like Rufus' jacket, being: a 1930s halfbelt slimfit with bootlegger front, extra length, and button cuffs. The jacket you have pictured above, which you...
