    AERO Sheene...another Thurston Bros. Success Story!!!

    Dep126, Congrats! I really can't say that I would do anything differently, even if I ordered it all over again. One thing I have learned, though, is these jackets go on stiff, but after they warm up to your body temperature they become buttery soft and much more flexible. The only thing that...

    Aero Branded Zippers

    This is a Talon zipper, but it is on an Aero...not sure if this is what you wanted, but here you go.

    AERO Sheene...another Thurston Bros. Success Story!!!

    Thank you everyone. @ jonbuilder, I'm not sure if there is anything premier about it... Thurston Bros, partnered with Aero Leathers, created this combination of the Cafe Racer & the Highwayman, I fell in love, the rest is history. I can't wait till it has that old-world patina, a few natural...

    AERO Sheene...another Thurston Bros. Success Story!!!

    Update Fit Pics: (3 weeks new with a little breaking in)... Beginning to see some striations in the leather. Worn daily around the house, once out in the rain, and once out on a date. Too hot here for daily wear.

    FS: Lost Worlds 1930s "Test" Jacket - Russet - Sz 40

    That is a truly beautiful jacket. It is too small for me, but surely someone on here...

    Thedi Leathers, thoughts?

    I will second this opinion. Theodoros has been EXCEPTIONALLY kind in regards to customer service. He usually replies to emails within 24 hours (an amazing feat in itself since he is also the one creating all of his leather products) and he has shown to be very honest and passionate about his...

    What happened to the thread I was reading????

    I was reading a new thread where the OP posted a review of a new "AERO Sheene", complete with photos, and a rather lengthy (albeit negative) review. I was about to give some advice and share my POSITIVE experience (since I just received a very similar jacket from Thurston Bros.), but the thread...

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    Thanks Doctor Strange. This is comforting, actually. Websites are so easy to manufacture, as are reviews, so I'm always a bit hesitant when directed to a new one. This company does seem to be on the up and up. With that said, these jackets are most certainly a bargain.

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    One the "about us" page it states all garments made in the USA. Seems like a steal, but the price, along with the spelling and grammar errors on the page, has me leery...

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    Yesteryear, I can't find where these are "made", but it looks like a nice jacket. In addition, it lists materials that (if true) seems to make this an exceptional value. I'd say this is about as cheap as you'll find an authentic horsehide reproduction jacket. It's the cheapest I've seen...

    AERO Sheene...another Thurston Bros. Success Story!!!

    Its a shame that your lady doesn't like the smell. Mine just complimented me by saying this jacket is the "first" and "only" purchase that I have ever made online that she actually likes. She went on to say that "she just hopes I keep it"...no worries there!

    AERO Sheene...another Thurston Bros. Success Story!!!

    I just got home from work to find all of your posts...thank you so much for the kind words! It looks like I'll be wearing the jacket in the mornings while driving to work (zipped) and then again at home in the evenings as much as possible. I may even try my hand at sleeping in it at least...

    AERO Sheene...another Thurston Bros. Success Story!!!

    Wow guys, I'm blushing right now. Thank you so much. It IS the jacket I've been dreaming of for sure. I just hate that it is 70+ degrees here daily now (did I just say that?) because it means at least 6 months before I can begin to put this thing into play. Thanks again for all of the...
