    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    Im worried that the package weight is listed as 5kg. There is no way both jackets should weigh any less than 8kg together. Im worried that when it hits customs the difference will be noted and its going to be held up.

    My Cagleco G1

    Ive heard that Aero does excellent repairs, but Im sure you want someone in the USA. I dont know of anyone, but Im betting someone else on here would.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Ive found that women's opinions of men's clothing often reflects the current fashion trends, not the clothing itself. I dont trust anyone who learns fashion through MTV and Cosmo, or has to buy new clothes to keep up with this years trends.

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    They are packed in the same box, Aero is paying the shipping charge, as the B3 sleeve length was too long which they also repaired, so they agreed to cover return shipping...I have no idea how much shipping cost.

    Aero shipping weight accuracy?

    I just got an email from Aero that my "repaired" B3 and new steerhide jacket have shipped. They shipped in the same package which weighs in at 5kg. The weight concerns me, I dont think 5kg can be right. The original B3 package weight was 3.5kg, I had horsehide overlays added to the entire...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    My two Aero's shipped out today! Im a little concerned on the package weight, so I will have to see when it comes in. I had horsehide overlays added to my entire B3. The original package with just the B3 weighed 3.5kg, now the overlayed B3 and a heavy steerhide jacket (which is a cross...

    Decent Leather Jacket at Cabela's!

    I can second the size range. I normally where an XL in standard jackets or XXL in milspec, but I believe my jacket is a large and it fits fine...it runs about 1/2 - 3/4 of a size big. It runs almost 2 sizes larger than milspec. The jacket is probably about as warm as my Aero B3. I dont use...

    Decent Leather Jacket at Cabela's!

    If you dont care where its made, or about authentic reproduction and just want a hard wearing, warm, and functional jacket, It is a good way to go. Do I think that Aero is worth twice the price, absolutely. If I couldnt afford or justify the cost of Aero, would I buy the Cabela's jacket again...

    Decent Leather Jacket at Cabela's!

    I have a very comfortable and extremely hard wearing B3 type jacket from Cabelas, which was about $289.00 in 2004 when I bought it. The materials are good, its very warm, the leather is tough, and the workmanship is better than what I would expect from a sub $300.00 jacket...

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    My new jacket and my B3 I sent back for some additional work should be shipped next week at some point from what Amanda mentioned the other day. If this is true then the total time from order till shipment would be about 17 weeks. We shall see if this timeline holds up. Im itching to get them...

    A2 with wool cuffs and waist

    If your not looking for a repro, you could pick up a used Schott off of Ebay. Good leather and cuffs and they can be had for between 50 and - 125 USD in good to great condition.

    Aero Leather lost in Space?

    Ive talked to her twice since they reopened. They are very busy. If for some reason she isnt responding to your emails, you could try calling.

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I just got word that Will started working on my jacket last week and will be done in a few weeks. This jacket is a very customized mix of styles, but my last jacket was almost as custom and only took about a week of labor to make. Im not sure if this one will actually take a few weeks, or if...

    My Aero Long Half Belt...

    Just as an FYI to anyone else thinking of ordering Aero. I have gone factory direct both times that I have ordered with Aero, so not sure that you can do this with Mark M. I told Amanda everything I plan to do with my jackets and that I plan to wear both shirts, a suit jacket on occasion, and...

    Does washing/soaking leather jackets substantially harm them or weaken the leather?

    Oh, ok. I thought that people did this to make the jackets look aged, "vintage", and broken in without doing the work themselves. I guess I got confused.

    Does washing/soaking leather jackets substantially harm them or weaken the leather?

    I agree with this. I have some jackets that I bought new which are 15 years old that I still wear. Most of these are nothing fancy, just basic jackets, but All the years of marks, break in and wear bring back memories of different places, different women, different feelings. Looking at some...
