    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    Yes, I sadly agree. Have considered cannibalising the jacket and have wallet/bag made from it! Leather too beautiful to just discard.

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    Hi, yes I thought and still think that too. A fur collar of sorts could cover all manner of sins so to speak. However I don't think Jules wanted to take the job on. He felt it was a little above his skill set. Shame, but now I have run out of options it seems.

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    Hi and thanks. That looks great. BK has had the jacket already. Put on a pointed collar but it looked rushed and awful. I also had an issue with the exposed lined facings. These were redone couple times and now look worse than the original. I need to post pics to show what I mean. Thanks again.

    Thanks for that. BK has already had the jacket (for a year!). He did not charge for the alteration but had in my opinion rushed it. It looked awful and wrong on return. I doubt he would have it again and to wait another 6/12 months!!

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    Hi and thanks for that. All options were considered but my collar is more "flared" than yours so would not work.

    Jules felt a stand up collar would require too much alteration compromising the structure of the jacket, something along those lines. Thanks

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    Hi, I brought it because I liked the look of it on others (here at FL) and it looked cool on the web site. However, it did not look good on me and to make matters worse my wife felt it looked "girlie"! I was led to believe it could be altered to a more regular style collar. Thanks

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    I think the collar is called a shawl collar. I do have pics but I think most folks know what the collar looks like on an Aeronout A-1. It was a mistake on my part to buy it for sure. Thanks

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    I recently contacted Jules (via FL post/member) who specializes in leather repairs/alterations to see if he can do something with my Bill Kelso Aeronaut A-1 in their Liberty HH. Purchased this beautiful jacket a few years back but quickly realized I did not like the Dumbo ear style collar. I...

    New Aero 59'er HWM

    Thank you. I had not given much thought to how the leather well develop but I hope it does develop as you say. I think on balance I prefer Steer to Horse, love the grainy look. Thanks again.

    New Aero 59'er HWM

    Thanks Canock. Aero say it is slimmer in the waist and an inch shorter than the regular HWM. It feels it too.
