    Tartan lining service life?

    I am not surprised to see this kind of wear. That's why some people ask for a corduroy stripe at the bottom of the liner. One good thing : a hole in the wool fabric is easy to repair for a seamstress and the repair will be at least as tough as the original fabric.

    patina : great concept ... often confused with "through hell and back" by enthusiastic ebay sellers same as "in need of a little TLC" for a car wreck

    Aero x Levi's Rockabilly - Rockafella jacket : value ?

    Hi Everybody I have searched for a long time for this jacket and have possibly finally found one in very good condition. Problem : - The jacket is too far to try it and it is not cheap (600 euros) - I still fear that the size and/or fitting will not be ok for my body-type. If I buy it and that...

    ANJ-4 jackets

    Same for me : my ANJ-4 is a bit bulkier and the collar is the center piece of the jacket. Difficult for people in the street not to look at me ;-) Mine is a size 42 but a 40 would have been OK too. I don't mind as I prefer a loose fitting for a winter jacket. I was a bit scared that the jacket...

    Aero Board Racer fit advice please.

    hard : as if the jacket was too small and was restricting my moves. No problem with circulation, just a very snug fit feeling and I was not used too. Now I am used to the feeling and the jacket is now well broken. Your fit pics are looking good but If you feel uncomfortable with the design, I...

    Aero Board Racer fit advice please.

    Nice jacket, good fit My size is usually 40. My Board Racer is size 40 with 1 cm longer arms and back. Even though I am quite slender, the jacket is more a shirt than a jacket. The sleeves are slim and armholes very high. It's the design of the jacket : in the beginning I was a bit upset but now...

    Anj-4

    I know that this post is quite old but I have weighed my newly acquired Lost Worlds ANJ4 (size 42) and it's 3.1 kg (6.8 lbs) It's lighter (100grams) than my Aero Barnstormer in Steerhide that weighs 3.2kg However The ANJ4 jacket feels a lot lighter than the Barnstormer when worn.

    how to repair tears in leather (horsehide oil pull)

    Leave it like this, I doubt it will get worse (the stitching is there to stop) Maybe a drop of oil to darken the leather fibers so they match with the outer color ?

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    Same for my blue Vicenza board racer. Wear it : the patina will come quickly. After being drenched, the leather has darkened a lot and now it's more uniform. If you find it unbearable : contact aero, they are really customer focused and easy to speak with.
