    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    I dont remember all the specs, as I customized pretty much every last detail, but the big things are fairly simple. Seal B3 completely overlayed in seal 3.5 OZ smooth horse. Bottom and cuffs are ANJ4 style, not B3. The collar and wind flap are extremely oversized. I also had them install the...

    can anybody advise me on if my coat is horsehide please

    I think your going to have trouble bringing in a higher price for it, unless you do some more research. Like BT said, people do pay ridiculous amounts of money on eBay for stuff, but generally they like to know exactly what they are buying.

    can anybody advise me on if my coat is horsehide please

    From what I have heard, horsehide can be almost impossible to differentiate from steerhide depending on the way it is processed. The only thing that gives horsehide away easily to me in certain situations, is that it seems shinier, but again that is comparing it side by side to steerhide...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    Sorry I missed this question earlier. The customizations of the B3 did add quite a bit to the price, but really only because of the exchange rate. The initial cost of the B3 was 500 GBP due to the oversized collar, wind flap, and additional hose overlay. There was an additional 200 GBP charge...

    Fur collars and rain

    I will make an attempt not to wear my new aero in the rain since it has a fur collar, but where I live we do get down pours out of nowhere and Im not going to baby the jacket too much. What type of damage might the fur incur if worn in the rain and whats the best way to dry it? Im assuming air...

    Agreed. I would only add it if you need it for range of motion.

    Yet Another Highwayman Advice Request

    As far as sizing, I cannot stress this enough. Provide aero sizing over the largest shirt or sweater you plan to wear regularly under it and let Amanda know thats what youve done. She may ask you for your sizing with just as regular shirt as well. Also let her know how you want the coat to...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    One other thing to add. I told Will that I wanted something warm but durable for a lining. Aero ended up using alpaca but overlaying it with cotton drill. I was told it is just as durable as plain old cotton drill, but with the extra warmth of alpaca. I thought a few of you may find that useful.

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    Yes, I really like the B-2's, unfortunately, I almost exclusively wear sweaters in the winter and a B-2 would be shorter than the sweater, which is one of those things that annoys me. This newer jacket was partially an attempt to satisfy my B-2 needs, we shall see if it works. As far as the...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    I just got lucky with the color. I talked to Will and asked for the heaviest and thickest brown hide he had. He mentioned he had one roll of steer that was just enough to do the jacket and was extremely thick and heavy, it just so happened the color was really nice. For me it wasnt so much...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    The color is brown. There are storm cuffs. The entire B3 is covered with horsehide, not sure if its fqhh, its whatever they normally use to cover part of the sleeves with on the regular b3. It cannot stand up on its own, so I assume its not fqhh. The arms were hard to bend much at all the...

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    The first jacket is made of extremely thick steerhide. It stands up on its own, but is very supple. It feels similar to the thickness of the thickest buffalo I have ever felt, and possibly even thicker. The jacket weighs in at over 10 pounds. Its a combination of a highwayman and cheyenne...

    Would you buy this??? (need replied FAST please less then 21 hrs to go)

    Just make sure the sizing is accurate to todays sizes. From my limited experience, older clothing tends to run 1 - 2 sizes smaller than its modern day equivalent depending on how old it is.

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    There are some benefits and drawbacks in dealing with Mark from what I can tell. I have spoken to him a few times, but ultimately chose to go through Aero. Depending on the exchange rate he can be cheaper or more expensive. He does not charge for shipping, which is a huge savings now that...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I dont think you can possibly get better service than going straight to the source. I have ordered 2 jackets from Aero and have almost 200 emails full of questions, answers, customizations, requests for clarification, etc; the communication is unbelievable. Plus, if you pick up the phone, you...
