    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    Hi, Butte. Speaking of shearling, I just picked up a B6 on eBay. Couldn't resist. I have no inkling when I'll wear it, but I guess I should take up glacier climbing...

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    Over-prepared! We have pretty mild winters in S. Calif. Today, as I tried to break in the HWM for an hour (indoors), the temps outside were in the 90's! Hopefully, I'll spend some time in some chillier climates this fall/winter!

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    Will, post some pics of me wearing the jacket soon... early next week if I can. This jacket is labeled as 42. Sleeve length is 25." Back length is 26." Shoulder seam to seam is 20." I stand about 5'10." I usually wear a size 42/44 jacket, with 32/33 pants. Sizing has always been...

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    Wow, I never even thought about that... I think I'll let it age for a while, let the natural grain/weathering be the artwork first!

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    One piece back thoughts-- I actually think the front /sides of the HWM are more "signature" Aero than the back design. I've seen the yoke design on many denim and anonymous off-the-rack leather jackets before. I mean, I never see someone's yoke design from the back of their jacket and...

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    New pics, updated the first post as well. I'll try and post pics of me wearing the jacket next week... busy busy! Great stitch work, uniform throughout this zippered pocket. Leather is turned perfectly... is that the term, "turned?" I lined the pockets with moleskin. Would have...

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    Thanks, Protein nerd! Is there a new FAQ that explains what grandpa is doing wrong? I searched for one, but it seemed pretty dated.

    New Highwayman -- w/ new buckle and one piece back

    Uh, I use to think I was tech savvy, but how the hell do you upload pics? I keep getting error message for a tiny pic url. I tried uploading directly to messageboard and that wasn't workign either... http://tinypic.com/r/2gtuqs1/5 http://tinypic.com/r/14acxzm/5...

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    when laid flat on the ground, it seems like the front of my Hwyman is a little longer. But when I wear it, the back of the jacket is longer.

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    Hi, resort. I may have misspoken. I wasn't doing serious shopping, just researching the leather tanning/manufacturing industry in general. It's pretty interesting stuff, especially the Horween website. Since we're currently in a mini-heat wave in S.Calif, it's kind of hard to break in the...

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    True, he didn't specify which Aero jacket he was comparing. If it was the Highwayman, I can attest that it is indeed a boxy-ish cut, but still feels like it will eventually mold itself to my body. Right now, it's still very stiff. But the sleeves and length are spot on and the shoulder width...

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    Recently received an Aero Highwayman... very pleased. (More detailed review to follow after I break it in a bit...) But never one to be satisfied, I was looking at options for my next purchase and I came across this review on the SchottNYC website. The reviewer doesn't post a very...

    Aero Leather-- what does CXFQ stand for?

    Ahh.. chromexcel. Got it, thanks. Does Aero sell black FQHH that isn't from Horween Chromexcel? I had always assumed all black horseleather from Aero was chromexcel Horween.

    Aero Leather-- what does CXFQ stand for?

    Hi, I was just going through the sale items on the Aero website and noticed a few jackets had CXFQ in the main title. Can someone please explain what CXFQ stands for? Thank you!

    Customs Duty Question

    Rabbit, I wish our customs process was as simple as Germany's. I did a bit of research and I have to fill out this complicated form that is more geared towards big companies. I'm not sure, but the jacket may even have to be inspected first by customs agents? And even then, it could take a...

    Customs Duty Question

    Kojak, this is about customs duties, not shipping charges. Although that's a valid issue in and of itself, lol.

    Customs Duty Question

    Anyone have any advice/answers for this situation? I'll try and be brief. 1) I ordered a jacket from Aero. Unfortunately the jacket doesn't fit. And I just received a bill from DHL for approx. $70 in duties. 2) I need to return my jacket to Aero. So... my question is: What about...

    Highwayman with detachable fur collar?

    Oh, wow. It didn't even occur to me. I went with an off-white shearling collar, but can get another one as well... my wallet curses you. :rolleyes:
