    Collar up?

    Who wears the collar up on their jacket? Sharp style or affectation? I wear my Highwayman collar down but my Bootlegger up. What do you do? Rob

    Aero Jackets in really cold weather

    I’m going to be way up in far northern Sweden in late February, and I wonder if anybody has experience wearing FQHH in the cold. My jackets are big enough to wear a sweater or down vest underneath. I have been in Antarctica in the summer when we wore layers of silk underwear, woold shirt...

    When does it become a costume?

    So the other day I went out wearing an Aero Bootlegger and a leather Russian Lenin cap (a pretty snappy combination, I thought) and my wife said "Oh my god, you look like you are dressed up for Halloween!" Of course, I wore that hat anyway, but it got me to thinking. At what point does style...

    Aero booked up in hard times?

    I just ordered a bootlegger from Aero in Scotland and Amanda told me it would be 8 weeks for delivery because they were inundated with orders. Does it seem odd that expensive, hand-made jackets should be in such hot demand when the world is descending into financial ruin? Of course, I...

    Aero Bootlegger, with buttons?

    Has anyone ordered up an Aero Bootlegger, with buttons rather than a zipper? Many 30's aviator jackets seem to have had buttons and the Bootlegger seems like a good candidate for it, but I don't know how the proportions would hold up, or how the buttons would space out (5 up the front?). I...
