    Boots to wear with new Aero Hooch Hauler?

    Apologies-That probably sounded a bit pompous.One big advantage of traditional boot design is that you can have them readily repaired and can expect a lot of life from them.

    Boots to wear with new Aero Hooch Hauler?

    I really don't think they would sell items that fall apart quickly or otherwise.Your jacket will not do so.

    Jacket Hangers

    Just looking at the advice about hanging jackets on Aero's site.Presumably once a jacket has creased it will stay creased.I have now laid mine on the floor.

    Who has an Aero Dustbowl??

    Aero teases new website soon

    I kinda like the existing site though.You can be minding your own business and suddenly there's a 30's HB in stunning cordovan in the Blue Label range that sends you scurrying for a tape-measure!

    How to clean the inside (wool) lining of a leather jacket?

    I have just tried some soap from the Isle of Harris which works very well as a shampoo so should be fine for a wool lining.Smells fantastic too.A natural fit if you have a Harris tweed lining.
