    My first AERO (1930s Halfbelt) is on the way!!!

    It's here!!!!!!!!! Wow! The jacket is fabulous! My first impression is the goat is beautiful. It is quite stiff. The buckles on the side needed to be loosened all the way, otherwise it would have been too tight. No worries. Body length and arm length seem to be good. The overall fit is...

    My first AERO (1930s Halfbelt) is on the way!!!

    Question about choice of Aero leather interior pockets

    Do you have a Throat Latch on your Aero?

    I have an Aero halfbelt on order. One item I did not specify was a throat latch. I was wondering how many folks actually use the throat latch, or is it more an accent piece to add interest. And of the different designs, what do you prefer and why? Thanks, HC
