    Aero Windward

    Apologies if I am being a bit dense here but I am curious as to why Aero and Eastman (ELMC) both use the Windward name for one of their jackets especially as they are quite different in style,or maybe because of that-I looked through the ELMC products thread but did not see any reference to this...

    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    Edward Yes,I was thinking of the drop panel front of the Aero Dustbowl-Please see comparison picture.The King Of The Road picture is probably a STF for the Japanese market so possibly not a good comparison.The measurements relate to my jackets however.For the future,I'm contemplating an Aero...

    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    Hi Monitor Yes, it is horsehide-Its actually quite malleable and nice to wear especially in a hot sunny day as it is today.I was really pleased to win this auction...the quality of the hide and zips and fastenings is so much better than anything I had owned before Regards Peter

    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    Edward I cannot detect any noticeable drop on the front panels of the jacket.The zip length is 22"-I don't know what vintage the jacket is as it was a Ebay purchase-The previous owner kindly left me his dice! Regards Peter

    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    Mostly in reply to Edward My Aero King Of The Road is a nominal size 46" chest with a 26.5" back measurement,27" sleeves and 20" across the shoulders.The waist measurement is approximately 42.5" taken about .5" above the hem.I think it is a superb jacket and I imagine very complex to make.I...

    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    I'm fond of the King Of The Road as it was my first Aero and funded by being knocked off my motorcycle nearly two years ago-It was an Ebay purchase and set me off on the trail of fine leather,probably for some time Regards Peter

    Mostly Turkish....

    Remember the heady,indulgent days of fine Turkish and Oriental tobacco in cigarettes?-I stopped smoking some years ago but occasionally burn one of these veterans purely for the aroma.I presume the cigarettes with cardboard tubes are of Russian origin,similar to the Kazbek brand once sold by...

    What temperature is your cut-off for wearing a leather jacket?

    Mid 60's for me depending on humidity but I tend to go out in cold weather just so I can keep warm, if that makes any sense.Since becoming a recent Aero fan,nothing seems to make sense anymore Best wishes Peter

    Cricket "Bomber" Jacket

    Cricket "Bomber" Jacket

    Good Morning! Not sure if anyone would wish to see this but this is a Cricket brand bomber/aviator style jacket designed by Nigel Cabourn in the early 80's.I bought it from Fenwicks in Bond Street in their 1984 Spring Sale and remember paying circa £85....People thought I was mad(How much!) but...
