    "The Grizzly"

    Beautiful picture, Baron. There's something about those two, their sense of style goes beyond what they're wearing. I've noticed something lately. Do you see how the Grizz's fur goes all the way to the built-in belt line? Aero's doesn't seem to do this...

    wtb: USMC roughout/boondocker boot

    Army roughout This places carries an Army roughout boot, http://www.smwholesale.com/0072.html If you don't trust ATF these may be close enough to the Marine version. They also sell on eBay under SSSMWholesale. Interesting just to check out because they claim to be the outfitters for the HBO...

    The Few

    "Nevertheless they said that they used that material finish and don't have it at the present time,they said they are willing to offer something else in the meantime, until the Few people comes back from Japan." --1087 That's very interesting. The response implies that they would make the...

    Jeans

    Beautiful denim daizawaguy! Recently I found some nice denim from Kojima, Japan. It was 23oz yet the price was only about $100. For Japanese denim this is very surprising. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/vari/kj-pt-rnb-108/ By trying to find out a little more about Kojima, I found this website...

    Langlitz Cascade

    Because of reading about Langlitz for a very long time, I finally gave in to a deal on eBay for a Cascade that I couldn't pass up. I have a number of Aero and Lost Worlds jackets so I was surprised (fool that I am) at the uniqueness of the Langlitz. The most surprising thing is the warmth of...

    Eastman Leather jackets

    The accusation about Eastman and the steer hides goes back to about the year 2000. If you have Eastman jackets that predate that time (I have a couple of their A-2's) you will notice that they do not have labels which describe the hide. Eastman never stated that all their jackets were...

    Lyndon Johnson ordering pants

    Hill Country Burial Once in the vicinity of the LBJ ranch in Texas I took the tour. When the guide got to the family burial spot he casually described how LBJ dug everyone up and rearranged them according to his liking. If you look at the pictures you'll see his is in the middle and the most...

    What kind of cuff closure ?

    I would suggest you specify the circumference of the cuff to Aero. I ordered a Trailrider with the button cuffs and was very pleased. The cuff circumferece was wide enough to not really need unbuttoning when I took the jacket off. This way I had a different look than the American cuff but the...

    Check Out Aero USA's New Prices!

    P5640blouson I wasn't sure what you meant by "As an example, I almost decided on a FQHH jacket, but was told by the maker that I have to try the standard size first because the shortened size is non returnable." Usually when purchasing a jacket from any of the respected purveyors of FQHH, you...

    Vintage Letterheads

    Thanks for posting. Those are fascinating letterheads. I once found a letterhead page in an old book for the "The Knickerbocker Hotel" in Hollywood. Beautiful 1920's graphics. Looking at the Hal Roach Studios letterhead I was unfamiliar with the "Taxi Boys." Looked it up and found an...

    Aero Highwayman or Half Belt?

    Does the Halfbelt still come with the pleats on the back? I noticed that a recently posted action-back Halfbelt didn't have them. If I were ordering a Halfbelt I would skip the pleats. When done correctly the pleats are nice, but some Aero tailors have 'interesting' ideas when it comes to pleats.

    james cameron's AVATAR in 3-D

    I saw Avatar last night and thought it was terrific. Although there were 'familiar' themes, I thought these themes were more homage as opposed to plagiarism or being derivative. The one aspect I have yet to see comment about is the color palette. Did the colors remind anyone of the work of...

    Langlitz Crescent

    Aero Leather size problem Hey Flyingtom, I know what you mean. I also have at least 10 Aero jackets and I've been surprised more than I would like by what arrives when I place an order. Obviously I like their product, but to get exactly what you want sometimes requires trial and error which...

    Langlitz Crescent

    Mr. No-Toes, Thanks for that link. What a great excuse for going to Oregon. I've been trying to order some Wesco's for some time, but you know I just don't feel like measuring my feet! I got some nice Wescos off their bargain basement and they really put eveything else I've got to shame. I'd...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Hey Griemersma, Thanks for posting that Fryecompany.com link. I hadn't seen those 'campus' boots since the 70's! Glad they still make them. I'd been avoiding the Frye company because I have a pair of their brown engineer boots that don't seem to 'breathe' like they should. I'm hoping that...

    Steve McQueen-Fashion Icon

    McQueen interview and article I wonder why the above cited story is called an "interview?" It's an interesting biography, creepy details and all. But I wouldn't call it an "interview." Also, the Wall St. Journal article makes no mention of the fact that probably one of the things that kept...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    My crystal ball tells me that the delays are the result of high demand. The solution is hiring more people. If you look on the "AERO SALE - LEATHER" page, you will see about 27 trainee made jackets. This means that Aero is trying its best to shorten delays. Mark Moye is a very good guy...

    Go To Hatter in San Diego, Los Angeles?

    I've been to Baron's, as it is a lot closer to me. I went in for a repair on a canvas fedora. Made in New Zealand, supposedly a sheperd's hat. I bought it from Atlantic Rancher when they still existed. The guy in charge said of course they could do it and much more! Not so. They weren't...
