    New Aero Route 66

    Wow, that's a seriously nice jacket. I have a new Cossack and that one is making me think I ordered the wrong jacket. Personally, i would break it in naturally with good hard wear.

    m 43 field caps

    Hungarian Army WWI This is some unknown distant relative. Does anyone speak Hungarian? Please translate the writing on the pic. The style cap surely predates WWI Germany Thanks

    Aero Steerhide

    Does anyone have an Aero Jacket in Steerhide? I'm wondering how it compares to Aero's horsehide. I'm thinking of of getting an Aero Mariner and based on previous posts Steerhide might be more correct for that coat. In photos the Steerhide seems to have more of a matte finish which I like. Any...

    Phillip's Tanning & Clo Co B-3 1938 contract

    Wow That jacket looks like a brand new repro (only better)! Pretty amazing for a 60+ year old B-3. Great find-enjoy.

    I'm looking for a budget Cartier tank

    Buy used. There is a huge market in used high end watches. If you really want a cartier watch you probably won't be happy with a lesser brand. Otherwise, there are plenty of "tank' style watches at all price points. Try the website Timezone .com and go to their Sales Corner. I'm sure you will...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Gentlemen Travelers I just got a pair of Gentlemen Travelers and put them one for the first time. The pair I have is made fine having no glaring flaws. They are a little narrow at the arch, but i like the fit because they feel like there will give good arch support. Also, they seem to be a...

    Custom Aero Cossack

    Yes, I'd say that's a "somewhat' modified Cossack! I got mine last week and its great. What was your inspiration for the mods you made?

    Dapper in '34

    Here's a pic I came across when reviewing old files on my Computer. Was the contrast look (ie matching vest and jacket with contrasting trousers) a common style in '34? Ps the pic is of my granddad!

    Aero regrets - details you would have changed

    Thanks The addition is a great touch. Is it something you thought up on your own or did you see it on other (vintage) jackets?

    Aero regrets - details you would have changed

    I agree with making sure your measurement are right. Mark at Aero USA is extremely helpful in this regard. Also, you should understand how the jacket you are ordering is suppose to fit. For example the 30's halfbelt and cossack have the lower taper in front. Make sure you take these style...

    THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Aero Stockman Review

    Bob What's the difference between the standard stitching and the "rollover" stitching?

    Pigskin

    Is there a reason that pigskin is not used for Leather garments? I have seen jackets in pig suede but pig leather does not seem to be used. Whats the reason? Just one of the weird thoughts that go trough my mind.

    MY new Aero Arrived

    Also, thanks for all the compliments. Aero makes a great product. I own quite a few leather jackets (and have more on order) but I think the cossack is realy what I have been waiting for!

    MY new Aero Arrived

    Pics with jacket on I about 5'5" and 160lbs. The jacket is a 42 with the sleeves and hem shortened. I think the jacket fits perfectly in the shoulders and chest. Some may think the jacket is a little long, but I wanted it that way. I did not want a short cropped looking jacket. I think the...

    MY new Aero Arrived

    Here are some pics I don't think the pics do the color justice. Also, the grain is really apparent in the close ups. I ordered the jacket in the standard Brown FQHH and asked that the darkest hide available be used. The transaction with Mark at Aero USA was flawless.
