    A New Huge Highwayman

    Aero truly is top notch, I have my third Aero jacket on order now. Ditto for the pic request, we all love to see various jackets, especially being worn by their owners. Welcome to the lounge, this is a great place.

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I am in the middle of an order with Mark at Aero, and he told me they are backed up for a few months. He told me to get orders in now for fall, although I'm pretty sure it won't take that long. I just think an order now won't be ready until summer. My guess - people are jumping on the great...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    It's hard to decide with Art, so many possibilities! I have recently placed an order for a Trackside model in whiskey colored felt. After that, I want another Whippet clone in blue smoke. I'm so glad I married a patient and understanding girl. She tells me she's so glad I spend my time...

    Leather vs. Gore-Tex - Style vs. Function?

    Bringing up motorcycles brings us back to abrasion resistance. I've ridden motorcycles for over 20 years, and the first thing my old man (also an avid rider) told me about riding motor bikes as a youngster was, "It's not if you go down, it's when. Wear protective clothing." Leather is very...

    Leather vs. Gore-Tex - Style vs. Function?

    Now I will chime in again. In 1997 I bought a pair of Swedish wool cargo pants from my local military surplus store. I have worn those pants for several hours in knee to waist deep snow, when the temp was below 0 Farenheit. I had on some fantastic thermals underneath, but no other layers on...

    Leather vs. Gore-Tex - Style vs. Function?

    The Gore-Tex product is of course sold to many manufacturers who use it in their own products. Cabelas and Danner both make boots that utilize Gore-Tex liners. I suppose that there is a difference between one manufacturer and another, despite both using Gore-Tex liners, one will be better...

    Goatskin vs Horse Hide

    There is also going to be a difference on Horsehide from Aero vs Horsehide from Wested, ie different tanning and dyeing processes, so you're going to get a very different jacket from different manufacturers, even if you stuck with one type of hide. I've only had one goatskin jacket, and it...

    What does one wear with a leather jacket?

    That second to last statement, "The women loved it." strikes me as something I've pondered lately. I have sometimes felt less than "at ease" with my preferred style of dress, self conscious if you will, wondering what insults might be thrown at me. At work I wear a uniform, so it doesn't...

    Does anyone wear their hats tipped back?

    I find lately I enjoy tipping my hats to the side a little, so that the brim touches my right ear, and rides about 1.5 inches above my left ear. Most of the time over the last few years I have worn them level.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Great hats gents, I especially like that color ribbon with the mojave felt, Warmentrout. KN, yours looks very distinguished and very good on you. I don't think I have seen a bad looking VS on this forum. There are some that wouldn't necessarily look good on me, but they do look good. I...
