    The Aero has landed:

    My apologies for bumping an old thread, but the pics to the jacket are missing/broken. Anyway we can get these links working again? Would love to see some pictures of this jacket...

    Aero 1930`s halfbelt in midweight oilpull horsehide.

    Hi, Griff. Very nice jacket. We're almost the same height-- just curious... is this a custom back length? I don't own a half-belt yet, but I assumed guys our height wore them longer in the back? Perhaps there's no hard and fast rule, I'm picking this up as I go...

    Ahh, Windward, that makes sense. It's always a challenge to figure out the best fitting style.

    Hi, Windward. Could you elaborate? Are there rules for when you wear a halfbelt or not? Just curious. Thanks!

    How does the color of Aero Cordovan FQHH age?

    Windward, exactly what I was hoping to see! Thanks for the pics. I think some Aero's look better in Cordovan than others. I'm hoping my future Maxwell looks as good as your jacket in 4 years. I'm also thinking about a 30's halfbelt, but I think that jacket would look better in the standard...

    My Aero NYPD Leather Jacket in car magazine plus new leather jacket project completed

    Hi, Navin. Welcome back! I've been in and out of the forum myself... my jacket addiction happens to come in waves and apparently in in a "relapse." I recently purchased a Highwayman and now am putting together a Maxwell... Is this my Aero rock bottom??? In anycase, I remember reading your...

    How does the color of Aero Cordovan FQHH age?

    Thanks for the heads up! I'm fine with lighter streaks and highlights along the folds and creases, I just don't want an "Aero Technicolor Dreamcoat."

    How does the color of Aero Cordovan FQHH age?

    Ahh, excellent advice. Thanks! I admit, though, I feel a little guilty abusing the leather.

    How does the color of Aero Cordovan FQHH age?

    Hello, Aero experts. I'm choosing between Cordovan or Brown FQHH on an Aero Maxwell. I like the look of the Cordovan in this sample scrap I have, but I'm wondering what the color will look like in a year or so. The cordovan sample looks darker than the brown sample (which works for me) and...

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

    Hi, everyone. One of the perks of FQHH (at least with Aero, I think) is the easy maintenance. Basically, I read you don't have to do any! Done. But... what do you do to clean the inside? I'm sure over time the inner lining will start to collect sweat/odors, etc. So... how do you clean...

    New Aero 'Pioneer'

    Looks really nice. But yes-- I agree, it might be a tad too wide in the shoulders.

    Thanks, Carrie. Excuse me if this has been answered before, but what exactly is different from the Aero version (for this half-belt). I only ask because on your website description it says "Thurston Bros.' Aero Brown 1930s Half Belt is the result of over five years of development with Aero."

    Are your half-belts cut differently from the half-belts sold directly by Aero? Thanks!

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    I think the old management at Aero (Wil/Amanda) was a lot more liberal in their customizations. When I originally placed my HWM order way back then, I had included a detachable fur collar. When Holly and family came back into the fold, they said the collar was no longer an option. Luckily...

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    I can attest that Holly and the "new regime" which is actually the old old regime or the original regime... Anyway, Holly and the current management took care of me when my original HWM I ordered had fitting issues. The order was originally placed w/ Amanda and I think I got affected by the...
