    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Wear what you plan on layering and measure from where the jacket hem will be and add a few inches. On my jackets, the waist is more narrow than the hem, as that mirrors the human anatomy of hips being wider than waist. Some short biker models actually taper all the way to the hem because they...

    Aero Seven Custom - Recommendations

    I went from a 40 PHYM to a 42 BR to gain some shoulder mobility, and so I could lightly layer under it. The BR is an inch bigger in the shoulders and chest than the PHYM which has made a world of difference in mobility. The only negative is that the jacket is a little big with just a t-shirt...

    Aero Seven Custom - Recommendations

    I asked for a front drop on my seven a few months back and was told that they won’t do it with this pattern. Might as well ask again as I know a few members on here were able to get the drop. I guess it depends on who cuts and patterns your jacket who decides.

    The sleeves, front length, and torso look too short and wide. I would suggest a different pattern or custom measurement changes.

    From Thurston thread: “Vancouver will patina extensively with wear and the natural characteristics of the full grain hide will be visible from day one.” Italian tannery is stated on one of their Facebook posts.

    Aero leather choices/options (End of 2022)

    It’s a full grain chrome tanned leather from Italy. Very soft and grainy and I would say it is around 2.5 oz. What I don’t like about mine is that there is a very shiny coating on the leather, and it took about 3 applications of deglazer to remove most of it. This pic is with the coating...

    You can use fiebing’s deglazer. I find it between isopropyl alcohol and acetone in effectiveness in removing shiny leather coatings. Supposed to be safe on leather.

    Aero Universal zippers and other feasible options

    I thought I read on Aero’s website that the universal zippers uses a cotton zipper tape vs poly blend. Is this true, and has anyone had issues with tape failure since cotton is more susceptible to tear/rot than poly blends?

    Aero Leather Lining Situation

    I understand the fraying on the bottom hem, but that hole a few inches up is unusual. Do you conceal carry or wear your phone on your belt?

    Aero Leather Premier HWY, 40, Seal Goatskin

    Moleskin is my favorite lining if I’m wearing the jacket with t-shirts or thin long sleeve shirts. Very warm and durable and comfortable to wear. I never felt overheated while wearing this jacket up into the 50’s.

    Aero Leather Premier HWY, 40, Seal Goatskin

    Exactly..if all the dimensions were 1/2” bigger, I think I would keep this jacket. You can especially tell in the back picture we’re the jacket is hugging my lats tightly giving me limited mobility when moving around. The sleeves and length also creep up while in motion leading to that one...
