    New Aero Seven Arrived - Thanks for the Great Design Advice!!!

    After a nearly six month wait, my Aero Seven arrived from Thurston last week. So many threads and people here helped me along with my decision-making process. Thanks to all here in the FL community as well as to Carrie and Wade. Here are some early thoughts and comments to help anyone else...

    <<< Aero Premier Half Belt vs Hercules

    Hey Brian: I am waiting on a Aero Seven which is also a premier pattern so I think you will need to size up at least one from your normal measurements on the Premier Half Belt. I wear a 42 tailored fit and ended up with a 44. IIRC, Jin431 might be a good resource for the information you want...

    Thoughts on Suede jackets like Schott 370

    You have to be careful with suede so as a daily wear, be prepared for staining that you won’t have with a finished leather jacket. I have suede blazer that I love and the character but the wear changes the look.

    Advice On Custom Aero Board Racer

    Can you pay a visit to Thurston Bros in person??? i am currently waiting on a Aero Seven in Vicenza. When I received samples of mid weight leathers, Carrie sent me Vicenza, Badalassi and the new Bainbridge. I did a water drop test myself. Vicenza absorbed the droplet within 30 seconds...

    Aero COVID waiting times - 1930's Slimfit

    That means mine may be in production now as it was submitted on September 1st!!! Unless Moira Mac is so slammed with a huge surge of Board Racers.

    Restoration work - cracked leather (Can one stop it from developing?)

    My 23 year old Ekornes chair sitting in front of a sunny window in our very dry Colorado climate looks brand new because of the conditioner I have religiously applied twice a year. My brother’s Roche Bobois leather sofa in humid Houston (away from direct sunlight as well) started looking like...

    First Post - Aero Buco Board Racer Customization Feedback

    Ask Carrie about the best fit between Board Racer (barrel fit) or Cafe Racer (v fit). I carry another 1 inch in my waist and am an inch skinnier in the chest so I was steered towards the Board Racer. I think the previous poster is correct in surmising you may be a Cafe Racer fit. I am waiting...

    Has going outdoor helped you with adjusting to Covid and this new normal?

    When this started, we were stuck at home for six weeks due to my kid’s school shutting down and my wife’s need to be extremely cautious (she is an ICU doctor). Normally, I am biking or skiing in the mountains every weekend. This, however, was the longest stretch in my life that I have gone...

    Tudor watches

    Tudors are great watches. The modern ones are hit or miss on styling but they are excellent quality timepieces. You friend needs to tell younwhat he/she likes.

    Aero sheene sizing help please

    You have it backwards. The Sheene is based on the Cafe Racer while the Seven is based on the Board Racer. Based on OPs measurements, I think the Sheene would be the right model due to its more dramatic taper from chest to waist. i would recommend looking at the sample measurements on Thurston...

    Help: boots for narrow feet

    I have a low volume foot with a narrow heel. Fit has always been an issue for me as most shoes in the US are made for a wider foot. I have found that the Crockett and Jones 341 and 248 lasts fit incredibly well, the later being more elongated. I believe they offer a narrow version in the 341 if...

    Aero COVID waiting times - 1930's Slimfit

    I am excited as all get out to see my finished product but realize that, with our COVID restrictions, I will be limited to wearing around the house for the first few weeks. Hopefully you guys can post some photos of yours to tide me over. I should be only a few weeks behind everyone else in the...

    Aero COVID waiting times - 1930's Slimfit

    I put in my order through Thurston Bros in the US and was told 10-12 weeks at the beginning of September. Honestly, with all the COVID issues facing us, I do not expect to see it anytime this winter and I am n9t stressing. More concerned about everyone’s wellbeing over there. Stay healthy all...
