    Aero Unfinished Horse Hide 557XX Type III Break-In

    You know, I was shy to start wearing a hat, many years ago now, and I decided that if I was going to wear it, then I needed to "earn it." So although I'm inclined, since the infantry, to live some degree of outdoor life, every year, I nevertheless make sure that I sleep outside a few nights with...

    Aero Natural CXL HH J-106/KotR/Indian Mix Biker Jacket

    Interestingly enough, I had to get the zipper replaced a year or two ago--I used to be heavier during covid, and I suppose their was tension at the bottom, but the stitching came out and it was impossible to seat the zipper into the pull. Do they not have them anymore? Also, #thanksEU, had to...

    Aero Natural CXL HH J-106/KotR/Indian Mix Biker Jacket

    I usually wear a backpack, so you can see the darkening where the straps touch the jacket; also, there are "wing" creases on the back panel from the leather bunching under the pack.

    Aero Natural CXL HH J-106/KotR/Indian Mix Biker Jacket

    Trying to get a photo from the photographer, but in the meantime, here's me at the barbershop over a year ago, and then 2 photos from May 2022, showing the break-in and wear. The jacket is much darker, as you can see, super soft, and heavily creased.

    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    My order specs were: Standard size 38, olive stitching, battered Seal Horsehide, all leather back (should last longer), and herringbone tweed lining. I literally do yard work/forest work in it, though, and lean against brick walls and rocks and the like, so I have no regrets about the...

    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    Aero sent me replacement buttons, but I decided not to use them because I fear that the same would happen. I bought these instead; and I see there are similar sets available for a good price on eBay. As I mentioned above, 25mm fit well and suit the vest; now that I've had them for a few...

    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    Howdy, I had a seamstress do it, although she did as I would have done were I to do it myself--she sewed small flat black buttons on the inside of the vest so that the leather doesn't tear. Brass buttons are working out great, they look sharp, and I wore the vest every day at the school where...

    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    Apparently, as I learned, there's what seems to be a "cardboard heart" to the button, or somesuch, around which the leather is wrapped--so be warned :) It's a fantastic vest, and I do wear it out now that I have my metal buttons in the woods and elsewhere in the rain, but with the original...

    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    If I were to buy it again, I’d probably get it shorter, too, since all my jackets are shorter, and sometimes I want to wear it with a jacket. But I’ve adopted it as my “teacher flair,” since I’m a school teacher, so now it lives happily at school :D. My original buttons were leather football...

    Aero Shackleton with Brass Buttons, Size 38

    Howdy all, Just wanted to share a picture of my full leather-back Shackleton vest, to which I had added authentic, Royal Navy, brass buttons (24-25mm). For those considering the vest, the default buttons are sensitive to water--I don't recall being out in the rain with it, but somehow, each...

    Aero Ladies Motorcycle Jacket - Size 4, Black Italian Horsehide - £350

    Howdy again, Buy this jacket that my GF didn't want, and help me get another Aero for my collection :) Hoping to get a little more than Aero would offer if I sent it back, and because of the new price, new post! It has literally only been worn twice, once in the winter when she got it, and to...

    "Logan" Dark Brown Suede Trucker Jacket - Sz 38-40 - £75 OBO

    Morning! My arm has been acting up and it's killing me this morning, so measurements are taken with the jacket on my couch, not on me, sorry about that: —Armpit-to-armpit: 21.25" (to vertical armpit seam) —Shoulder seam to seam: 17.72" (wasn't sure how to measure this, but measured above...

    "Logan" Dark Brown Suede Trucker Jacket - Sz 38-40 - £75 OBO

    It’s late, and I’m to bed, but I’ll try and remember in the morning! It feels on me to be slightly roomier than all the three size 38 aero items I’ve owned.
