    Aero HBD and Fortis watch pics

    I got another Toshi strap from Rich (chocolate leather with olive drab stitching), it arrived this morning, I think it goes well with my oil pull Aero A-2:

    New Arrival: Aero A-2 oil pull

    Jan/Windward, thanks for the compliments on the jacket and the rest of my attire, the jeans are Levi vintage 1967 505s, the boots are Red Wings. I am still trying to make up my mind whether to wear the collar snapped down or unsnapped, think it depends on whether I am wearing a shirt with a...

    New Arrival: Aero A-2 oil pull

    A couple of people have asked me to put up some fit pics so here are a few, they aren't particularly good photos as they were done on a self timer but I think they are good enough to give a decent idea of the fit:

    My jacket season is already over in late March

    The opposite happened to me, just as it warms up in London to a temperature which is too warm for wearing my Aero Highwayman with tweed lining my new jacket is delivered, an Aero A-2 which should be just right for the next few months.

    New Arrival: Aero A-2 oil pull

    I don't know, I assume it's the new oil pull as it is a new jacket though I suppose Aero may have stock of the old stuff. Do you know if there is an easy way to tell?

    New Arrival: Aero A-2 oil pull

    The leather is a little darker than shown in the photographs, and a little more brown/less red.

    New Arrival: Aero A-2 oil pull

    Eventually, will wait until I have worn it in a little (even though while it is still brand new it is very supple).

    New Arrival: Aero A-2 oil pull

    This morning I received a new Aero jacket, this one is an A-2 42-15142-P in oil pull with dark berry knits. I don't want to irk the A-2 purists, I wasn't after an accurate reproduction of an original, I just wanted something well made, good looking and a classic style which is exactly what I...

    Aero London Stockists

    Interesting, its a nice shop, used to be in Covent Garden. Curiously also on Chiltern Street is a menswear store called Archer Adams who also stock Aero (or did so last year), I am not aware of anywhere else in London that does.

    Aero HBD and Fortis watch pics

    Thanks for the compliment, I agree with you about Rich/Toshi's straps, and he's a good man to deal with, I only have one of his straps but am tempted to get another. The box stitching on the strap you have on your Fortis suits it, goes well with the pilot style of the watch. I am also a fan of...

    I can vouch for Toshi straps too, I have one on one of my watches (sorry, got no pictures of it with my Aero highwayman)

    New Steer HWM

    While I agree that the shoulders could be a little slimmer I think that nevertheless it fits well, I would be inclined to hold on to it.

    Aero A2 42-15142-P, weighingup various options.

    I hadn't been intending to do so as I thought that the sleeves would 'shorten' through creasing and wrinkling as the leather breaks in.

    Aero A2 42-15142-P, weighingup various options.

    The A-2 is a 44, I already have a size 42 chest highwayman which fits well (the sleeve of which can be seen in my first picture, better pictures of it are on another thread here somewhere). I have asked for the replacement to be two inches longer at the front and an inch longer at the back...

    Aero A2 42-15142-P, weighingup various options.

    Hmm, sounds tempting, I may email Amanda to ask for an inside pocket to be added, I have a couple of weeks to think about it.

    Best Aero original contract A-2?

    I did give Amanda my measurements, in fact I already have a Highwayman from them which fits well and is a size 42, Amanda recommended that for an A-2 I should go for a 44 (which I did) but unfortunately it is too short, however the fit at shoulders, waist and sleeves is just right. When I...

    Aero A2 42-15142-P, weighingup various options.

    It arrived last week :) It's gone back though :( A lovely jacket but it was too short for me, however Aero's customer care has been second to none again, they are making me up another one a which will be a bit longer and according to Amanda it should be with me in two to three weeks. Here's a...
