    Prayers for Ken of Aero

    Thank you for the kind words and thoughts guys. Ken is in great hands here with NHS Scotland having been superb and moved very swiftly.

    Van Page Brown @HoosierDaddy, In Memoriam

    Terribly sad news to hear. Whilst i personally didn't have many direct dealings with Van he was a long time friend of Aero and my Father. He has been a very active contributor on various forums and always given good advise, i know that he was a big part of one of the first "vintage leather"...

    White D-1 Jacket and Aero Refusal

    Again I apologise that you weren't offered a full explanation (did you ask for clarification?) We have been quite short staffed here at the factory this last 2 weeks due to a few of our team being off with covid, myself included. Some emails may have been answered in a briefer manner than normal.

He also visited our stand on day 2 and purchsed him self a second Aero...

    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

    The Board Racer has definate curved sleeves by its design (our most curved sleeve) but I wouldn't say the Highwayman has overly curved sleeves ? If so then all our sleeves are curved. Not sure why you would want straight sleeves, your arms are rarely held straight and usually in a relaxed curve?

    Aero Badalassi Leather - Black

    Our first sample batch of Chestnut Badalassi did not come through as dark as we expected / had wanted. It was nice but too similar to Tobacco in terms of darkness, we wanted something darker and less red than Tobacco. That first batch was used to make approx 10 jackets. We have received our...

    New jacket leather options...

    For the Royale to really look good the leather needs to have a bit of a drape to it. Battered Steer would be ideal, and would be my first choice. Goat would also have the right handle to it. Out of Vicenza and Badalassi, whilst i prefer Badalassi out of the two it isn't best suited for this...
