    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    Still wearing the black FQHH Aero Veste. It'll soon be packed away and replaced with the same model in cordovan. I find the one inch shorter (body + sleeves) cordovan to be perfect for warmer months. Having the FQHH stop at about the same place your dress shirt would, gives a feeling of comfort...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    Will say again: Aero have been the best company I've ever dealt with. I know how annoying the long wait is, but you are getting a custom made work of art. I'll post pics of both my Veste coats with age/wear. The cordovan is easily my favourite. Right now there are other gaps in my...

    A-10 gloves

    They were £89.99. Colour is brown. Being in UK, I didn't have any shipping costs etc. I've just looked on the Eastman website, and they appear too have only XL in stock. According to their way of measuring the hand, I should've gone with a size Large. After perusing FL, I took the gamble...

    A-10 gloves

    A-10 gloves

    Bought the gloves. I'm really posting this so others can compare Eastman A-10 brown against Aero cordovan FQHH. I thought they'd be a tad darker in colour. Whatever, they're great gloves. Pic taken with flash: Lear

    My goatskin Cheyenne...after some wear

    Sometimes it's simply the shape of your frame & body. I can't explain it clearly, but I've seen people swamped in stock Veste/Stockman/Cheyenne, while others wear the same unaltered coats as trim jackets. Lear

    A-10 gloves

    But look on the bright side: you have two potential glove liners staring you right in the face, with probably enough left over for trimming the cuffs :p Lear

    A-10 gloves

    Thanks, but couldn't find it. Have just placed the order for a pair of Eastman A-10 standard goatskin. I'm pretty handy with Saphir shoe waxes, creams etc., so maybe dyeing a second pair black will be the way to go. Edit: Now I see what you mean...

    A-10 gloves

    I don't know if you're being serious here. If you are, I apologize. Wouldn't the shoe dye simply rub off onto other clothing etc.?

    A-10 gloves

    I have no interest in authenticity or vintage gear; just love FQHH jackets. However, finding heavier weight, high quality gloves is a little tricky. After much research, the Eastman Type A-10 seems to fit the bill for my cordovan Aero. So, what about black? None of the A-10 or variants come in...

    My Steve McQueen cardigan(s) - This time in heavy cashmere made by White of Hawick

    Not wishing to derail, but this camel hair cardigan is pretty nice as well. Quality is excellent and the staff do know their product. Any thoughts on camel hair? http://www.berkcashmere.co.uk/product.php?id=64&name=Shawl+Collar I have a silly question: is camel hair simply sheep wool of a...

    the widest longest jacket hanger in the world...for your heavy jacks

    Hi johnyjohny. I don't post here much these days, but I do remember researching my first Aero. Your posts were very helpful. Thanks for that. Anyway, getting tired of dumping my FQHH on the floor. Would everyone agree that Aero coats wouldn't suffer from being left on these hangers? Lear

    Windward jackets by Montgomery Ward (and copies)

    Well done ButteMT61. The kind of story I like to hear. :offtopic: A person cutting all rubbish from their diet for a year, would save enough for a brand spanking new Aero. Plus... you get to look great wearing it. Think about it folks :) Lear

    Windward jackets by Montgomery Ward (and copies)

    +1 Nice one Windward. You wear it well, with wide shouldered authority. Being in shape is half the battle. Lear

    Aero Veste - Do these pics mean I can also do Stockman/Cheyenne?

    Thanks for that. I've had a few items from Aero, but still get the cold sweats when ordering. The old avatar picture was taken some time ago. The lighting was also pretty atrocious; didn't bring out the best in me. Probably the most despised avatar ever. I had to change it just to keep people...

    Aero Veste - Do these pics mean I can also do Stockman/Cheyenne?

    Thanks Peacoat. Yep, old avatar gone for good. :eusa_doh: Of course! All I need to do is measure the length from rear collar to bottom rear hem on my 46" Veste, then ask Aero what the same length is on a 46" Cheyenne. Does one usually measure from the very tip of the rear collar (highest...

    Aero Veste - Do these pics mean I can also do Stockman/Cheyenne?

    Got sidetracked... So, I've decided on a Cheyenne, if only for a slight change (it's fun). I like the length of the black Veste (first set of pics in this thread)., but want something trimmer for just t-shirt etc. Is the Cheyenne shorter or longer than the Veste.? Would I need to add the same...

    Saving up for a good leather jacket- any thoughts much appreciated...

    Hi Aether Yes, know what you mean. However, I'm the kind of person who can measure the same thing five times, and get a different result on each occasion. It's hereditary, which rules out family or relatives helping. Friends are totally out of the question, as they're all worse than me :D...

    Aero prices increased

    Yep, totally agree with what you both say. Just thought it funny that I'd read the above link last night. Lear

    Aero prices increased

    I read this last night: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=65.690 and wondered if Giles (in reply #702) had a point. Lear
