    Beautiful Jackets Great shots, thanks, they do go well with this thread. Wouldn't mind seeing some detail shots of that original with the zipper stop, close up of collar, etc. Chuck

    Aero Original and Repro Aero Scotland

    Age Changes to Jacket Good observation as the jackets do change with age, and the leather seems to get thinner, but will come back with conditioning. Also I personally believe that Aero (modern) Lost Worlds, Eastman; all make 'super' jackets which are better than the originals in every way...

    Original Zipper Back Wonder why Talon can't stamp the backs for the repros?

    Aero Original and Repro Aero Scotland

    Zipper Stop Repro Wanted to mention also that the squadron patch on the original, of course isn't original, made and sewn by me a few days ago, based on the shape of the old thread tracks, a unique oval that so far I've only found matches the Sunsetters based in Australia. If anyone knows other...

    Aero Original and Repro Aero Scotland

    Repro Collar Overall on the repro vs. the original, the repro has thicker horsehide, but lacks the original style zipper stop, the 'C' shaped thing on top of the zipper, and of course the 'made in usa' on the back of the Talon zipper. Also I think the Aero repro's pockets are too big. I'll post...

    Aero Original and Repro Aero Scotland

    Wanted to post this interesting comparison between an Aero original in seal brown and the Aero Scotland repro in russet. Have more detailed photos too. I'm sorta new to posting, so I'll see if this works then post a few more detailed photos if folks are interested. Chuck

    Langlitz: Why not horsehide?

    Langlitz is one of the most famous MC jacket labels of all time. Glad to hear their stuff is still top notch!

    Aero Ebay Item 220003405419 BIN

    Sounds promising, no reason to think its not as advertised. Price was good as even the Real Deal gets up around $700 when all is said and done, with shipping to the west coast. Thanks.

    Aero Ebay Item 220003405419 BIN

    Did anyone else catch this Aero that went up for sale on ebay? 220003405419 A-2 FLIGHT JACKET, Genuine Horsehide, w/Squadron Patch I grabbed it impulsively on BIN, and am hoping its genuine Aero repro as stated. Anyone recognize it as a russet Aero? Photo was not great. Thanks for any...

    Any budding ww2 jacket artists out there?

    Ironing Yes, thanks, the towel in between the iron and jacket sure is important. Airbrushing saves a lot of time and creates some interesting effects. I had only worked in conventional brushes and oil before this. Just got the airbrush a month ago and jumped in. I'm sure it will take months or...

    Any budding ww2 jacket artists out there?

    1st Try at Jacket Painting http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f166/cookeville/1st_jacket_art.jpg I tried this on a junk jacket just to see how acrylics airbrushed on would work. Came out fairly well for a first try. It needs to be ironed for permanency.

    avirex?

    Avirex I have a 2005 Avirex horsehide A-2, it looks great, one piece back, authentic clasp, two-piece arms, but the horsehide, while having a nice jerky grain, is a bit thin. Legendary USA sent me two to choose from and the other was super thin, but the one I kept acceptable for the warm...
