    :( Received my Aero Highwayman back from Scotland on Monday having returned it to have an internal pocket put in. I was very disappointed and quite upset, the pocket was placed on the same side as the front pocket! I guess it was my fault as I did not state which side it was to be placed and...

    Please vote and help me decide, Aero or BK

    Cirrus Lancaster (Highwayman) leather jacket 36"

    Hi Guys Please have a look at my jacket for sale on ebay. It's a nice jacket but just not getting any interest. Original price just shy of £700. It's on the Bay for £175! For a FL member i'd let it go for £150. That really is a steal for a pretty good jacket. The lining cost me £66! Thanks...

    missing my HH jacket

    Hi A few months ago a sold on my Aero FQHH Highwayman and used the funds to buy a Cirrus Lancaster jacket. I can hear the sighs of disbelief! I loved that Aero jacket to bits but i found it just too much, the weight and stiffness of the leather. It became unwearable for me. Don't get me wrong...

    Me & my FQHH.

    Hi all, after 3 difficult but wonderful years it is time for me and my Aero FQHH Highwayman to part company. I have had these thoughts before but kept on in the hope things would get better.
