    What is the ounce weight of the FQHH Aero uses?

    Im confused. I said I wanted thickness and weight and Aero said that I should go with their steerhide because its thicker and heavier than horsehide. If that is the fact...what is the advantage of horsehide over steerhide? Does horsehide develop a better patina? Does it wear better? I know...

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    Think of a slightly shorter version of a long half belt with the highwayman hem at the bottom. It would have the same pocket configuration as the highwayman and would have no half belt. I would either keep the side straps in the same position as the long half belt or ditch them all together...

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    I talked to Aero today and they simply suggested that they create a highwayman using some of the design factors that go into the long half belt. They didnt seem to think it would ruin the cut or style of the highwayman. From past experience with Aero, they will usually let me know when I am...

    How much warmer is Aero's alpaca lining compared to the satin lining?

    Im confused on two counts. One, when I emailed aero asking about alpaca and tartans they emailed me about 5 or 6 different tartans back that were available. The list you sent me is huge though. Two, what makes the tartans harder wearing than alpaca?

    New Aero Arrival

    I know I want front quarter horse hide, but when I talked to amanda she never mentioned "front quarter heavy horse hide" just "front quarter horse hide" I wanted to make sure that we were talking about the same thing. She had said the weights range from 4 - 4.5 ounces depending on a particular...

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    oh well from the collar seam to the bottom of the jacket I am using for reference its just under 29.5" I could go down to 29" I definitely wouldnt want anything longer than 29.5" then. Sorry about that. Its a good thing I asked you guys before I started the ordering process from Aero. It...

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    Wait, let me make sure we are measuring from the same place. On a jacket I like the fit of that is definitely not mid thigh it measures 31" from the very top of the jacket to the very bottom of the jacket.

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    Im only 5'9", but wear a size 50, I guess thats why they said it was 27.5" I like the style of the cheyenne, a bit more than the stockman. The problem is that I do not like buttons at all. I also dont like outer pockets other than a hand slash pockets

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    Amanda said that the highwayman was 27.5" long, do you think adding 2.5 - 3.5" would make that big a difference? If so, maybe I do need to look at another style...Im not sure which one though. What if I only add 2" to the length? The problem with most of the longer coats is that they get...

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    I really dont care for the bottom of the half belt and the long half belt is to long. Id be willing to go a little shorter on the highwayman, but the standard length is definitely too short

    I plan to order an Aero FQHH Highwayman, have I forgotten anything?

    Because I have a chance to save on shipping, I will most likely order a FQHH Highwayman to be shipped back with my custom B3 that is being sent to Aero for some alterations and changes. Thanks in no small part to JanSolo, I think I have figured out what I want for leather color and lining...

    How much warmer is Aero's alpaca lining compared to the satin lining?

    well alpaca sounds like the right choice then.

    How much warmer is Aero's alpaca lining compared to the satin lining?

    No I was asking if the alpaca was much warmer than cotton, but from your response, I guess that it is. Do you think alpaca would be too warm to wear if the temperature was 10 degrees celsius?

    FQHH brown or cordovan for my next Aero??

    Im so confused about the color transfer of the cordovan. I have heard that there is a problem from some, but I have heard from others that there is no problem. Im not sure if some cordovan is chrome tanned and some is vegetable tanned which is causing the problem, or if there is a quality...

    How much warmer is Aero's alpaca lining compared to the satin lining?

    Thanks for yet another reply to my request for help! Do you see any benefit to using the alpaca over the cotton drill material for the lining of the body?

    New Aero Arrival

    stupid question Ok, stupid question here. I am thinking of ordering a highwayman very similar to yours in the second photo. You mentioned Heavy FQHH, does aero have both FQHH and Heavy FQHH, or is it all the same thing? (at least I warned you that it was dumb question) :D

    How much warmer is Aero's alpaca lining compared to the satin lining?

    I will most probably be ordering a FQHH custom highwamany soon. I would like to wear this coat in weather from 30F - 50F. I have very sensitive skin and Im worried the alpaca wool will make me itch if Im wearing the jacket in the warmer temperatures with just a tshirt on. Im also wondering if...

    FQHH brown or cordovan for my next Aero??

    I know there has been several topics on comparing these two and I have read through them all and still left with some unanswered questions. Which ages with a better patina? Which seems to match more colors? I will be getting a custom highwayman with a rust color fur collar if that...
