    US Duty for an Aero

    The data on your jacket is still on the site, though listed as sold on the 20th of June, and you got it on the 22nd of June. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=962

    US Duty for an Aero

    I thought VAT tax was levied on items bought in country, and foreigners were exempt, often times getting a refund if any had been paid. As I understand it, the brokerage fee is for customs fees, based on the type of item and its cost. Correct? Where along it journey does it pass the "broker"...

    Inner hat circumference vs. head circumference - the same or a bit larger?

    A 1/4 inch addition to the circumferance will be suprisingly larger on your head. Your hat size (American sizing) is determined by dividing the circumferance of your head (in inches), (or inner band measurement of the hat), by pi (3.1415)

    US Duty for an Aero

    I think Aero is using a faster delivery service, somehow. It took a week or more for the first Aero I bought maybe 6 months ago. This new one was 3-4 days Somehow UPS is involved. My jacket came with the order slip in a clear plastic openable envelope on the outside. Free for anyone to...

    New highwayman

    I have the Aero Highwayman (just received another new black vintage HH Highwayman from the sale page), and I see the length of the jacket on you in that picture as near perfect. The sleeve length could be a little longer, depending on how you prefer the length to be. The key is how does it...

    Who makes a G1 jacket with thick lining?

    I am surprised you can't find LL Beans website. One of the best know outdoor equipment and clothing business in the US. Here is the link to the G1 type jacket. I also have one of these and wear it on cold days. http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/23787?feat=23786-ppxs&dds=y

    Who makes a G1 jacket with thick lining?

    Aero makes a sheep skin lined jacket like this Longshoreman. I have no doubt they can line one of their G1s with sheep skin. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=915

    US Duty for an Aero

    I just received a sale jacket that I ordered from Aero, delivered by UPS. They charged me an extra 6.8% (60$) of the total cost of the jacket as a "brokerage fee". I am not sure if there is supposed to be a duty free portion of the total cost or not.

    Selvedge Jeans - looking for suggestions

    A 505 is similar to a 501 but not exactly. It is true the 505 has a zipper vs the button fly of the 501, but the rise is longer in a 505, and the leg width is not exactly the same. The 501 has undergone size changes over the years. I have a number of the slimmer cut 501s prior to the resizing...

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    The sine qua non of a great sci fi movie is the script. You first need that vision. And it has to based on scientific possibilities. For example, the movies based on Philip K. Dicks writings, (Blade Runner, Paycheck, Minority Report, etc), have been great sci fi movies for the most part...

    Leatherique on FQHH - experience?

    It stripped off the surface of the leather? The color and bits of surface leather? Or did it just smoothe out the surface, by softening it a bit? This is the only product Aero sells for its jackets. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=182

    Leatherique on FQHH - experience?

    I also have used Leatherique. I have used it on all sorts of leather, goatskin, horsehide, and cowhide. Car seats and jackets. The cleaner not only cleans, but also adds to the rejuvination process IMO. Doesn't affect the color after drying. Can be applied by hand, but it is watery (meaning...
