    Aero Premiere 1930s Half Belt Russet Badalassi- SQUEAKING

    Have 3 Aero Badalassi jackets here and, as you say, you can wake the neighbours up as you leave the house. The good news for you is that the more you wear it it'll become quieter although not overnight.

    Anyone here have the RMC Dispatch Riders Coat?

    Thank you for that, unfortunately they're all sold out apart from a size 36 in black. Have spotted a nice alternative on their site though.

    Hooked on jackets? Why?

    Relatively new to this wormhole compared to some here but not sure if I could find the way out of it! Two main passions are cars and clothing and during the Covid lockdown most of the time was spent on the internet and not sure exactly how but found this forum. Hours and hours of searching...

    Great looking jacket.

    Aero USAAF Type B-7 Arctic issue.

    Update time. Had settled on the Arctic Parka however, the more I looked at the photos I saw more small details that'd bug me in the longer term so.. ..then moved onto the possibility of a B3. and had a sample of the white sheepskin sent, whilst very nice indeed it's definitely not me. With...

    Aero USAAF Type B-7 Arctic issue.

    Great chat with Denny earlier. Passing by Aero on 26th March to collect the Aeromarine that's on order and sort out the finer details for a B-7 and get one ordered.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    An Aero Aeromarine incoming around early March. Looked at a natural leather but chickened out and chose Cordovan Vicenza.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    After what seems a silly length of time trying to find a pair of pull on boots that I like, and what'd fit as I have a high instep, I've decided to go for another pair of these....Trickers Burford boot. Currently have a tan pair and a black pair with leather soles however, not a fan of leather...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Oh it's definitely cool. but just not for me.

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    I appreciate what you say however, being 'chilled' about an expensive (to me) jacket not ending up as I like isn't going to happen. Also appreciate that if buying on-line a jacket might get sent that doesn't fit as expected etc. I'm fortunate that as stated, I can go up to Aero and in the 6...

    Update on leather choice, Have been having a play with the samples, tried neatsfoot oil, tried beeswax / neatsfoot oill mix..not impressed with either result. I could try Pecards but have to order from the US however, one thing is putting me off the unfinished leather more and more and that's...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Well, the deed is done and an Aeromarine has been ordered. Samples arrived today and the leather is beautiful stuff, which will only improve once it gets a bit of sun on it. My 2 main passions are cars and clothes and when it comes to clothes I'll openly admit I'm one fussy old sod when it...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    With already having 2 x Sheene, 1 x tobacco Badalassi and 1 x black Badalassi I'm leaning towards the Aeromarine. I'd skip pockets altogether as never use them and, in my eyes, they can spoil the line of a jacket.

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Is that a single coat of Pecards from new? Looking at the Pecards site there are a few types to choose from, which did you go for please? It's looking perfect.

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    Well on the way to pulling the trigger on an Aero unfinished horsehide jacket, just need to decide between a Sheene or an Aeromarine. However, whilst appreciating the leather will change colour naturally my concern is getting it to do so evenly e.g. if we go out in the sun we're not going to...
