    Aero prices increased

    It's funny. I've been wanting an Aero for so long, but couldn't justify the expense after the last couple price increases. Then, lo and behold, two Aero's in my size show up on ebay. One was a 50's Halfbelt in Cordovan FQHH and the other was a Highwayman in Tan Steerhide. I already have a 50s...

    New Aero Half belt Delux

    Great custom order you have there. Love the plain front with the deluxe back! Aero really rocks when comes to allowing customers to make these kinds of modifications.

    Aero prices increased

    Okay, I'll quit my whining about the price increase. I just scored a steerhide Highwayman on ebay. It should arrive next week. I'll be sure to post some pictures. It looks just about brand new. Perhaps the price increase is good news for the used re-seller?!

    Aero prices increased

    I, for one, am quite bummed about the price increase. I've always hoped to buy an Aero one day. I've wanted one for the past 4 years since I first heard of them, but I could never justify the cost. So I thought to myself, "One day..." With every price increase, it becomes less and less likely.

    1949 Sears Fall/Winter Catalog

    "NOW NYLON LININGS GUARANTEED FOR LIFE OF OUR BEST LEATHER JACKETS." Well, I have one of these Hercules jackets in near pristine condition, but the lining is starting to fail. What do you think the reaction might be if I showed up at Sears with my jacket in hand and a copy of this ad, trying to...

    My Aero 1930's Half Belt

    That's flippin' gorgeous. You own a Nowak Surrogates jacket, right? How would you compare the two?

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    Thanks fellas! I appreciate the suggestions. I already planned on getting those sleeves taken in a touch, and I'm still looking for a pocket square. As to the shirt, agreed, French cuffs would be the way to go. As for the tie, well, purple is one of the wedding colors, and I was planning on...

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    After doing more shopping, this is what I've come up with. I lucked out and found a pair of Allen Edmonds "Clifton" cap-toed oxfords in black on clearance at Nordstrom Rack for $99. These are $299 shoes. Here's a link: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/allen-edmonds-clifton-oxford/2892042 And here...

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    Thank you all for your helpful comments. I'm leaning towards black based on your feedback. Also, now that I've been looking at a lot of photos, I think brown looks smashing with the lighter grays! I will do that in the future. For the dark gray of this suit, and given that it is a wedding, black...

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    Thanks for the advice, guys. Here is a photo of the suit. Sorry, not a great pic, and not being worn, but this is just to give you an idea of color: And here is the link to the shoe I am considering. You can switch between Brown and Black colors...

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    Gentlemen, thank you for your helpful replies. Black seems like the safe bet. Still, I am going to be throwing down about $300 for some quality shoes. And I really like brown. Perhaps I will post some photos of the suit to get your opinion. I'll also post a link to the shoes in question. Give me...

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    Gents, My apologies if this has been discussed before. I've searched and couldn't find a satisfactory answer. What do you all think of brown shoes worn with gray suits? I ask because I am getting married next month, and I will be wearing a 60s era trim fitting dark gray (a tint lighter than...

    Wested?

    I have a Wested dark brown lambskin Indy jacket. Good knock around jacket, and very light weight. Quality is far better than a mall jacket, but not as good as the premium vendors and military producers those on this site are familiar with.

    Shoulders Preferences for a Leather Jacket

    If you are skinny and lean though, shouldn't you get a jacket that is as fitted as possible? Areas such as chest, shoulders and armholes are almost always too generous on nearly every single article of clothing I own. Will Aero customize a fit so that the arm holes, shoulders and chest are cut...

    Sleeves too short on new Lost Worlds Ryder jacket?

    Yeah, if that was a sale item, I would think you are stuck with it. It is a great looking jacket and it looks really good on you. I agree, though, sleeves are too short, and they will probably get shorter... LW won't provide measurements? Why in the world would that be their policy? That makes...

    Aero Half Belt - Dry Leather or not??

    Also, your jacket is made with Aero's "Vinatage" horsehide. It is going to age faster. Just treat the dry spots with some leather conditioner, like Pecards, from time to time.
