Just ordered a Highwayman

[Faisalha9159]

I have just placed an order for a FQHH Aero Highwayman.......staff were all very very accomodating. Now I am just itching for to arrive. Am well happy

You're certainly stocking up on leather. At this rate you'll need to design a machine to break them in

I picked up a heavy steerhide Highwayman from the Used Aero section on their website, it's in perfect as new condition and is already breaking in nicely all for the tidy sum of £175.......never had a Highwayman style jacket before and I am really impressed with the quality of it.

6-week leadtime

When I order my black FQHH highwayman back in Feb '07, it really took Aero 6 whole weeks to finish work on it and send it to me. I guess by the time you get it, the weather would be quite warm. Nonetheless, I don't think a wasted a single cent on it.

I was told, after speaking to the factory that it will take about 3-4 weeks which sounds pretty good to me. As well as this I was also told that there has been a special batch of FQHH come in which is 4.5+ oz thickness and is meant to be extra thick- so definately something worth waiting for.

I think you are right about the weather in fact it is already getting warm. But, the advantage of spending big bucks on a jacket of Aero calibre is that you can wear it for many many many years to come anyway, so I guess it would not matter too much if I can`t wear it all the time as soon as I get it.

3-4 weeks huh?

Back in March, I was told 6-8 weeks by Mark Moye, Aero's US rep. I ordered a cordovan HB around March 25 and I haven't heard a word yet about it being done.

I guess they have worked through their backlog. But still, it seems odd that you may be getting your jacket at the same time I will.

I suppose I don't care at this point since, in all likelihood, I won't be wearing the jacket for another 4+ months.

I haven't even gotten the jacket yet and I am already eyeing a couple of other jackets: a black Aero barnstormer and a seal/seal Real McCoy B-6. My jacket wardrobe would be complete with those.

Whoto,

Be nice to see the jacket on when it arrives?

I am considering one for my nest purchase, be a nice alternitive to an A2.

 

[Faisalha9159]

I was definately quoted 3-4 weeks, although I am not sure how much my England location contributes to that reduction in delivery time.

Will definately post up some pictures as soon as the jacket arrives. I think after the Highwayman, I considering an A2 Real Deal russet colour from Aero......I just want to see what this Highwayman looks and feels like first in terms of the hide, as I have never owned a horsehide jacket before.....or even been close to on, as it happens.

I have a feeling that leather jacket wardrobes are only complete for a short while following the last purchase. Then it's time to start looking again. Or maybe one just jumps up and bites you on the ****. Complete jacket wardrobe? Don't think so.
