    Aero 25% off sale starts tomorrow

    I picked up a 38 pioneer in CXL steer hide Cordovan in color. I usually wear a size 40 but I am hoping this one will fit with an 18.5 inch shoulder and a 22 inch pit to pit.

    Making waxy finish cowhide OK here’s my problem. A year ago I bought a Schott leather jacket in waxy cowhide finish. 75% of the jacket was done in a waxy cowhide leather. The left front panel however does not match the rest of the jacket. It is a matte unprotected finish. I know I should not...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I have a question regarding the classification of jackets. It regards cross zip jackets with wide lapels and collars. Sometimes they are referred to as motorcycle jackets and sometimes they are referred to as aviators. Is there a checklist to go down to determine if a particular jacket is...

    My understanding is that the black Urads leather cream is not color fast. The reason I ask is I have an old Vanson Enfield that is starting to look a light gray. My concern is that it will transfer the color to my very light tan leather seats in the car. Am I correct in my understanding about...

    Aero mouton care

    I would think that if you held the collar over the sink and used a mild shampoo like Johnson’s no Tears baby shampoo that it would work

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I see references here on the Vanson post regarding octagon leather. What exactly is octagon leather and how does it differ from their regular offerings? Thank you in advance everyone.

    Aero mouton care

    When the mouton collars become matted and soiled how do other people clean them other than Arm and Hammer?

    Vanson Royale Enfield 42

    I believe the Royale adds zippers to the handwarmer pockets, grommets under the arms and a buttoned flap at the top of the zipper

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Let us know what you think of the seal buffalo. I was looking at it for a Cossack build but was concerned it may be too rigid. Most of the positive feedback on the forum seems to be on the goatskin. Other leathers seem to be more controversial. So that is why I used premium goatskin on an A1...

    Does anyone know how historically accurate the five star patterns are when it comes to the A1 jacket?

    Ideas for A1 jacket

    I didn’t even want an A1 jacket. But after all this discussion about it I just ordered one from five star. Apparently I am very suggestible.

    Ideas for A1 jacket

    I know a lot of forum members have ordered custom jackets from 5*. Has anyone just purchased one of their off the rack A-1s , if so how would you evaluate it? If you want an A-1 ,$155 for a goatskin can’t be beat price wise if they are nice.
