    Just bought an old Aero Highwayman. Arrives friday

    I just ordered some LL Bean Boot Guard so I will try that on an inconspicuous spot when it arrives. I'll update here once I know how it went.

    LOL, no worries. Not sure of the rules and this is actually kind of a messy thread. Maybe if I clean that Letterman's jacket up I will give it it's own thread. Assuming I do a decent job and don't end up ruining it.

    Actually all the jackets are mine. And I didn't want to make a bunch of multiple threads since this is really just about the Aero. I edited my original post to clarify that this is NOT the same jacket from the earlier thread. Remarkably similar though.

Also I think I was wrong I don't think...

I also have another interesting jacket I may pull out of the closet and show you...

    Thought I'd post here since during my research on the jacket I found the best info about Aero on this forum. So it seems like you guys know your jackets here. As a matter of fact I am pretty sure that I bought the exact same jacket previously owned by a member here: tmitchell59 **EDIT: It is...
