Thanks leopardstyle, muted orange sounds good. Amanda at Aero has told me there is only the Mustard and Rust linings available for the A2. Its not so much the colours that bother me rather the feel of the material i don't like. I considered (briefly) sourcing my own lining but not sure how...
Hi, I'v just come accross this thread and have really enjoyed reading it, great when it gets a bit fiesty! I can relate to the need to at least put off telling your spouse of your latest purchase. I have in the last two weeks put in an order for my first A2. This will make three leather jackets...
Sorry ButteMT61 i'm unable to do pics at the moment. I have two of their packs; Woodsman pack for w/end and hols and a great day pack they call their Book pack. They are both eceptionally well made in an understated waxed green canvas with leather trim/straps and brass hardware. Very functional...
Has anybody requested an alternative lining for their A2? I have an Aero Bronco Jerky Russet on order. At the moment its coming with the standard Mustard cotton lining. However, i really would like something a little different. I know it goes against the grain putting anything else in an A2 but...
I love packs as much as i do jackets. I'v owned most quality makes in my time and for me there is only one choice...Frost River, they are awsome, totally cool looking and beautiful to boot as well as being bullet proof.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I'v really taken them on board and have adjusted my wish list. Have also been nagging Amanda at Aero to give me her opinion about all aspects of the jacket really, she has been amazingly helpful. It's so difficult when you can't actually see what you are...
Hi Guys
I'm just about to put in my order with Amanda at Aero for a Bronco A2 in Jerky Russet with Rust knits and a rust lining. I'v done all the measuring (and more) requested of me. As its my first A2 i was wandering if there is anything i should be thinking of/requesting?
For example, i...
Thanks for that Rick, to be honest its more than just a scratch or scuff but i'm dealing with it by taking on board all your suggestions and leaving alone apart from bit of buffing. I can relate 100% to your car analagy. I have a 7 year old son who's nails are not cut as often as they should be...
Thanks for that, i was actually thinking of going over it again with a touch more shoe polish! However, i'll take all the advice given and leave well alone, apart from buffing it a bit.
Cheers
Thanks Familiar Face
I think you have to be careful what ever you buy on ebay, not long ago a brought 3 Superdry shirts from ebay, i kept none of them!
With regards the A2, sadly Amanda at Aero says the shoulders would be a bit small (16", i'm 18"). Anyway it forced me into the position...
Hi Tony, yes i can Fiebings do a leather cleaner/remover that you use before applying there colour/dye. I'm sure it works well but i'm too scared to try it at least without consulting Aero. To be honest i'd rather pay and send it up to Scotland for them to sort if they can. I do fret that...
Thanks Tony and Davy,
I don't like to bother Amanda, particularly as i'm already keeping her busy with my A2 order! She has emailed me today twice and its a Sunday! What a woman she is.
I will resist messing around with my pride and joy and email Amanda at a later date.
Thanks to you both...
Hi guys ,
I'm in need of some advice; I accidentally damaged my Aero Higwayman. I feel i right prat explaining this.....my wife noticed a small/tiny dent in the back of my jacket. I should have left it but did'nt. I thought i'd gently massage the area with my thumb to bring out/flatten the...
Thanks for that Doc. Is there a difference then between russet and russet jerky or are they one of the same thing? I get a bit confused by all these variations.
Thanks all for some good pointers and info. Davy you've really made me think now 12/14 weeks would get me pretty near the price of a new one if i saved hard mmm.
Just to mention, i am considering this particular A2 partly because i already have a Highwayman in heavy brown horse and told myself...
Thanks Davy Crockett, you are quite right i don't think it is an apprentice made jacket, i just assumed it was. If it is'nt then the price is ok. I keep looking at the jacket and the more i do so the more i like it. Also, lots of FL guys who have Rust Knits (the bit i'm least sure of) seem to...
Hi All
I'd really appreciate some advice re; the A2 Aero are selling on their "used/Apprentice made" section of their web site. I'v long wanted an A2 but can't really afford my ideal at the moment. This one is an apprentice made and a tad cheaper at £395. It's a mid-weight Russet HH with Rust...
hi Brummbaer
Don't know about Eastman leathers but i have a Cirrus Defender sheepskin. I had it made with shorter fur so i can wear it in milder weather. Saying that its never going to get the same wear as my Aero FQHH Highwayman but they are never-the-less beautiful jackets and worth the...
