    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Ah yes - the ortensia is the one I like best - petrolio is also v nice, but that lighter shade of the ortensia is stunning and I bet it will age beautifully too! I actually have a custom pair of William Lennon boots in the petrolio badalassi, and these work well with my LL Super Sportsman in...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have two LLs in the racing green - a Western and a Super Phantom - without doubt the 2 most comfy and best fitting jackets in my collection. I am very tempted to go for a brown Super Monza in it, but the next LL cab off the rack before that will be a red Corsair in HH…..these 2 are hopefully...

    That petrol badalssi is such a great hide - I would love to get a jacket in it but so far my search has been in vain…..if Aero or Field Leathers ever got a batch in again (both have used it occasionally in the past I gather from a few archive photos I have seen) I would be all over it, like a...

    Aero Badalassi Leather - Black

    Black badalassi is really a great hide imo - I much prefer it to Vic or CXL. It really develops amazing grain but without “fake” ageing, and is extremely comfortable yet substantial. Here are a few shots of my two black badalassi Aero jackets - a custom J106 / Ridley and a Wayfarer….these are...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I had exactly the same experience with that RMC model last week when I tried one on in their London store - its a very weird fit and effectively unwearable (for me at least). I am going to see if Greg can do a better job when my next FL ticket comes around in early 2023….I love the style of...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The Dominator is such a classic - I love mine too - its in the black vegecow and I have to say if I had to grab only one jacket from my collection in a house fire, it would be that one!

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    That is a really beautiful jacket Marc! I bet the lack of squeaking comes down to his more waxy finish vs Aero's more shiny polished finish (at least initially)…..the mink oil/lotion on my Aeros seems to have fixed mine so far, which suggests that the outer surface could be where the friction...

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    I have not seen the chestnut one before - looks v nice - is that Aero and do you have any more shots of it? Is it a new/regular offering or a one-off as it is not on their website as far as I can tell? Thanks for sharing!

    Weight distribution of leather jackets

    I have a good sample of Aeros now and other brands to compare against - I would say this is not a problem on almost all my Aeros but there is a mild issue with both the cafe racer and board racer, where you can definitely feel the collar pushing the back of the neck a little. It is nothing...

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    Here are russet and tobacco together, in case it helps. Russet is not orange, but a lighter version of tobacco imo….

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Pulled the trigger on three Aeros before the end of the sale…..a Shackleton in badalassi, a Coastal Command Irvin and an Outlaw vest…now the waiting starts!

    Which leather for an Aero Premier Halfbelt?

    It has not altered the colour of my jackets - I have used it on russet, tobacco and black hides - it does feel a little tacky when first applied but that easily buffs out to restore the original sheen - note this is lotion and not the thicker mink oil products - I cannot tell, apart from the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    This is my feeling too - badalassi has more elasticity and moulds v well to the body relative to CXL and Vicenza in my experience - not quite as stretchy as goat or Lewis Leathers veg tan sheep, but heading in that direction. I would not say it loses shape though - so would not worry about...

    Which leather for an Aero Premier Halfbelt?

    If it is any help I use Saphir Mink Oil lotion to remove the squeak from badalassi - seems to tame it v effectively….

    A couple more to add here - both Field Leathers reworked Manhattans as custom orders - one in blue Shinki, the other in black pony….

    Which leather for an Aero Premier Halfbelt?

    Badalassi would be my suggestion - in my view it is by far the nicest leather Aero offer and would work v nicely in this style….
