    My new Aero Route 66

    Great jacket! just out of interest ... how pliant is the vintage horsehide? does the jacket still stand up by its own, or is it more relaxed? my new highwayman (non-vintage) is stiff as hell and will have to take quite some beating :P will put up some pictures soon cheers

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    can only second that! As good as Aero may be, there lack of communication in this matter is astounding!

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    When I ordered the jacket way back in March I had Will on the phone and he told me that, given how much orders they have to process right now, it'd take up to 6 weeks. Thus, according to that outlook, the jacket should have arrived at around mid-May. Because it still hasn't arrived I contacted...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    thanks for that input - as disheartening as it is. Have you contacted Aero meanwhile? The fact which annoys me is that other than 'beeing busy' they haven't stated any reason for the delays with my order. However, if 'being busy' essentially amounts to delays in the range of 3 months (or...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I'm starting to get a little impatient ... I've placed the order for my Highwayman on March 1st and I'm still waiting ... Fair enough, it's a high quality jacket and everything ... but 8+ weeks for a leather jacket - that's a little ridiculous

    And Another Happy Highwayman Owner

    Hi Lenny, congrats on your new jacket ... no doubt it'll last forever and will be a steady companion over the years to come :) I remember that we placed our orders on exactly the same day - March 1st, that is. The only difference is that I ordered mine through Aero's headquarters in Scotland ...

    Orvis goatskin

    thanks for the advice, Cooperson. I'll contact Amanda soon to get some of their leather samples for comparison. The seal goat sounds like a good option for a summer jacket ... will keep you guys updated cheers

    Orvis goatskin

    Hi Edward, I'm planning on getting a summer-version of the highwayman in a lightweight hide. Hence I was thinking about goatskin - but I couldn't find goatskin as an option listed under Aero's 'other hides' section. Did you ask for goat or is it the standard hide on the AN6552? And what's the...

    GREAT AERO half belt thread.

    great choice! I was thinking about something similar for my next jacket. I really like the LHB but there are a few things I'd change (e.g. straight outside pocket, 1930s button cuffs) ... IMO the storm cuffs go really well with the highwayman but don't look too convincing on halfbelts.

    GREAT AERO half belt thread.

    the storm cuffs are rather typical of the 1950s ... otherwise it's 1930s/1940s

    The fit of the Aero Highwayman

    hi desertio, welcome to the lounge! I've recently ordered a Highwayman as well. I gave them my body measurements and told them how I'd like the jacket to fit ... if you go through previous posts you'll find that this method should actually work. If you haven't come across this thread already...

    Goatskin vs Lambskin

    I've had 2 Wested jackets, one goat the other lambskin. I would post pics but unfortunately I've sold them a couple of years ago. Personally, I didn't see much difference in their visual appearance. However, the goatskin one was slightly heavier and definitely more durable. The lambskin jacket...

    Let Photoshop Design your Aero!

    whatever your preferences, Aero's team will do its best to meet them. It's been 3 weeks since I've ordered my last jacket and it was a long process of modifying the jacket to my liking. Amanda from Aero was very helpful and I'm very condifent that it'll be an awesome jacket. The LHB is...

    Cockpit Vintage Roughneck Oil Driller Jacket?

    if you're looking for a jacket like that you might want to visit Wested's or Aero's websites ... Aero's Longshoreman has the same style and, as all their products, is of superb quality
