    I cooked a leather jacket

    "Rigor-mortis-treatment", sounds stiff. And "hand-made in Germany", god, oh god. We do all for the money... :D

    Newbie looking for some advice

    Well, the pictures of the back show clearly it is not the normal LHB, no "action-back". Price seems ok, so if you want a longer jacket and the measures are yours, try it.

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    Great story. I particular like how much it emphasises the sheer stupidity of some people, or let me say, the total lack of knowledge and culture in certain places. When I got my first LHB from Aero, with the patch-pockets and all, and wore it out with a simple Stetson felt-hat, I got all the...

    Johnson Leathers custom 1930 Levi reproduction

    Excellent jacket and fit, nice leather, too. The lining looks a bit as if you took an old blanket apart, but each to his own, I guess.:D And you could work on your posture, take these shoulders back, will you?:D :D The pic with the leather-strip at the hem of the jacket should be sent to...

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    Back OT: Why the jacket? Because it looks cool and manly and all that. The only Indy-movie I like is the first, it was back then a very whitty melange of anti-Nazi-, adventure-cum-historical-fiction-, half-humor-half-serious-, dash-of-supernatural-movie of sorts, quite unique and extremely...

    A bit of levity.... what jacket is this...?

    Well, the guy is even promoting his own line of watches. Ugly pieces, mind you, but meybe he even knows about zippers. You never know. :D

    Aero Thunder Bay Sheepskin - Does it bat wing?

    Yes. But you're not alone. :D I have the same effect as you describe in all my Aero-jackets, a Teamster, a Long Halfbelt and a Pioneer. It is actually bothering me a bit, but the jackets fit ok otherwise and I guess you cannot avoid it with the cut these jackets have. You would need much...

    I guess they would do some customizing for Mr Schwarzenegger, wouldn't they? ;)

    Monitor's Aero FQHH Cafe Racer

    I agree, the second jacket is a bit longer in appearance, less than an inch, I'ld say. My guess is, as it is older, it already is broken in and thus follows the shape of your torso a bit better. You can see it at the shoulder-joints, in the older jacket you see them, in the newer the...

    Calling on all AERO "Happy Days" Jacket owners...

    Well, I'm sure it could become charcoal after a little flame-thrower-treatment, you never know... :D Maybe you're better off with something more robust, Kevlar would spring to mind. If you can live with the yellow, that is. :D

    any cases of haunted vintage jackets story to share?

    Well, man's ability to fool himself is virtually unlimited. That much I concede. ;)

    any cases of haunted vintage jackets story to share?

    I wouldn't call them "theorists"...:D The only thing that haunts me is my lasting lust for a smoke!:eeek::eusa_doh::D

    Calling on all AERO "Happy Days" Jacket owners...

    If you're after a lighter hide, I would throw in the brown "Oil-Pull" horsehide. Definitely beautiful and about 2/3 of the weight of FQHH, a very rich chocolate-brown color and a nice drape right out of the box. I got the "Teamster" made of this and love it.

    Calling on all AERO "Happy Days" Jacket owners...

    I would pull the trigger on the jacket with no more consideration. You will never get that "perfect" in a certain sense, a leather jacket never is. And period correct? What does that mean? I would think also in the 50th there was a certain variation in garments, leathers, the like. You should...

    Aero Thunder Bay Sheepskin - Does it bat wing?

    I think the fit is good. The leather will relax a bit, reducing the bulk in the back, and then you'll be fine.

    Calling on all AERO "Happy Days" Jacket owners...

    Forget about half an inch, this is nonsense. Of course, sleeves run up a bit, but for "§$%& sake, this is a leather-jacket, not a posh suit. Aero cannot work on that precision, anyway.

    New arrival_ Aero Maxwell

    Very nice jacket, good fit and beautiful hide! The bulkyness in the back will cease once the jacket is broken in. Nice lining, too. Congrats all around!

    The irrationality of looking out the door for your package

    Package from Aero? Yes, they take the normal service. I'm sure you can get it faster if you're willing to pay the premium. ;)
