    How soft will a FQHH jacket get?

    After 2 years and many bouts in the rain, my FQHH is very soft. Very much like the video.

    I have a slim fit halfbelt from Insurrection. It's marked a 38 and I think it's a perfect length at 25". I'm 5'11"

    Aero Horsehide Recs

    What type of HH will not bleed? I love the FQHH, but there was a large amount of color transfer to my car seats. Will vintage or jerky not transfer?

    An Thoughts/Ideas Regarding Contrasting Stitching?

    John at Goodwear told me that A2's had contrasting stitching, because they used whatever they had on hand. The army had a LOT of green stitching left from making fatigues, so they just moved that over into their jackets. Personally, I love the contrasting stitching.

    Question on stockman vs cheyenne vs veste

    LOL I've been waiting for someone to answer this question for 3 years! JK, I did order a Cheyenne and found that it was just too bulky for me. As Amanda told me at the time, these coats are really big and ment to use as an overcoat. However, a lot of people look great in these coats. I think...

    Shipping Back to Aero from the U.S.

    I found that USPS was the cheapest and I crammed it into the smallest box that would fit it. My last Aero, I spent 100 bucks to return it and then get re-charged another 75 in custom charges. It still had problems, but I wasn't going to go through that again, so I just kept an ill fitting...

    Slim fitting flight jackets (A-2, M422)

    I disagree with that. Look at any of the fashion today and it's definitely about a trimmer cut. However, I only wear my A2 as a spring/fall jacket with only a light shirt underneath.

    Leather brand info

    The type of leather usually determines the durability. Not really correlated to price or quality.

    Is Shearling That Much Warmer Than The Equivalent Thickness Fleece?

    Shearling is crazy warm. I would wear my B6 in 10 degree F weather and be warm. I could see you start riding in the morning being comfortable, but as the sun starts burning off the fog the jacket becoming too warm.

    I'm About to Order a Bill Kelso A2, Some Handholding Please Regarding Fit

    Ves, I was also looking for a trim A2 with the minimal amount of blousing in the waist area. John at GW recommended the 1938 Aero as having the trimmest fit. I'm a 40 and even with a very trim jacket, the pit to pit is 22"...

    I have a Stuart and I don't think it's anything like the jacket you want. Sure you can make it more like what you want, but it's DNA is a half-belt.

    Leatherique on FQHH - experience?

    When used on cars, the way that it is suggested that Leatherique be used is to apply it on a very hot day and let the car sit out in the sun all day. This is supposed to allow it to be absorbed and dry. The Leatherique is supposed to "force" dirt out and thus the reason to follow with the...

    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    Exactly. My seal brown GW looks black next to my oil pulled Aero. But is definitely brown when you put next to my black FQHH Aero.
