    Anyone had an Aero CXL Steer Shrink?

    Makes sense to me. Like I said, I've really not looked much into it and wasn't really sure if there was something beyond that caused by creasing. I'm wondering if I get a jacket that's just right length wise and then it shortens an inch due to creasing if it won't then be a bit short, but...

    Anyone had an Aero CXL Steer Shrink?

    Haha sorry Sloan I don't mean to upset anyone. I never really got my head around it, both the extent of it and if there was any response from aero. I've not looked into it much tbh, but started wondering if it's a legitimate worry nowadays...

    Anyone had an Aero CXL Steer Shrink?

    Cheers for that ProteinNerd. I've heard others say the same regarding break-in time and I'm glad to hear you've avoided any shrinkage ;)

    Anyone had an Aero CXL Steer Shrink?

    Pretty self explanatory. Just wondering if anyone's experienced the Aero jacket shrinkage with a CXL steerhide jacket. Anyone with experience of both got anything to say on whether they age differently in this respect, or any other for that matter? I understand that a certain degree of...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Thanks Stringmaster. Sorry, I just saw the question at the end of your 1st post. I didn't consider the premier fit much to be honest and we didn't discuss it. I don't have the option of trying one on either. It's a very nice jacket and it sounds like you've made a wise choice (drool), but the...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    @Stringmaster Thanks for that. Hope it works out for you. Please do post photos when you get it! I promise to do the same. @Edgar Laurel I think that angle is very flattering, but I'm glad you like the look. From the front it was obviously just too bulky and the sleeves too long, but the length...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    So I've decided to go for a 30s HB pattern, but have a bit of a problem with sizing. The Sunburst I tried on (1st and 3rd photos above) felt a bit tight around the chest and I didn't feel like I could layer under it. That was actually a size 40", not a 38 as previously stated. 40 is also my...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Hmm the more I look at it the more I like the look of the dustbowl. It does everything I'm looking for too: very durable and weather proof (hide depending) and looked right in heavy hide, which I know is tough and will look great for decades. I won't right off CXL steer, as when broken in and...

    Oh and this is going to be a Christmas gift (yes I am a spoiled wee laddy) so don't want to choose costly options, so no Vicenza.

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    Thanks guys. The first and 3rd pictures are the same jacket (sunburst), if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure it's a 30s HB with a fancy back. I quite liked it but it was too short and just didn't quite feel right. A bit tight at the top and stuck out a bit at the bottom. Stefan at kentaurus...

    Yep it is pretty cool. Seems like one that works well with CXL FQHH too. Roomy but hangs well.

    Thanks. I've changed the privacy setting now, so I hope you can see the pics. I accidentally made it a private album.

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    I went to Kentaurus in Cologne yesterday, thanks to @Harris HTM's advice. It was a fruitful trip as I learned a few things about what I want, with the help of my gf. We decided that a yokeless back and longer fit suit me better, I think due to a combination of more 'modern' fitting jeans and a...

    battered aero hides

    Really!? Damn I'll have to do that. I'd feel a bit bad going there and looking at everything, only to order through aero online. Do you think he'd mind? A quick look at their site tells me they have an August, but it is about 250 euros more expensive than from Aero...

    battered aero hides

    Yeah that's what I read on the Shackleton page, but I can't find the brown battered HH anywhere, only seal and tan, but there is brown battered steer hide. I definitely prefer the battered brown over seal and tan, but someone got a battered seal Plainsman, which looked more brown and very nice...

    battered aero hides

    I'm writing the email now haha. It got me thinking about what I want and then I started looking online again and the cycle continues. I didn't know there were unlisted hides so it was worthwhile. Are they starting carnaval where you are or are you too far north?

    battered aero hides

    Thanks Harris, helpful as ever. If the battered steer is more sensitive then I'll be saying no to it. Must great for that waistcoat though. That mustang hide looks nice. I don't know how, in all my searching, I never came across it. Why's it not listed with the other leathers? It looks less waxy...

    battered aero hides

    Good morning wdw, That's definitely brown battered HH right? They only seem to have tan and seal now, and brown battered steer hide which seems a lot softer. But I want the hide you've got there! Very nice, well done.

    I really need to see this movie. So many references to it here. It's funny because I saw a bootlegger round here in the same battered tan and it looked amazing. I think the guy is q good photographer though. I think it could look great in battered seal, but have seen so few pics of the hide it's...

    Hi everyone, Sorry I'm quite busy these days, so I haven't had time to respond. @ton312 Awesome jackets. Thanks for your input on the steerhide. @Monitor that is interesting. Understandable when you think about it. I'm really pushed for time so I'll just say I've spoken with Holly and that...
