    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    My $0.02 I found out from Holly that Mark Moye had deceived me about the status of an order since last summer. The only contact I received from Mark Moye was immediately after Holly's initial e-mail. Mark Moye has had over four days to acknowledge my immediate communication and he hasn't...

    Langlitz just arrived... I guess I am a HH guy : (

    To each their own. I regret that Dortiz wasn't happy with his black goat Langlitz. My experience is that my dark brown goatskin Crescent is the best fitting jacket I own and my personal favorite. For comparison, my fiance prefers my Highwayman because the FQHH has more character. If style is...

    Wesco Highliner Boots (RW9710) for Street Use.

    Wear em.... If you're feeling that they're too much like work boots swap out the normal laces for some black ones to tone them down a bit. My fiance hates my dark brown work boots with standard laces but loves them with black laces - go figure. I'm happy to wear comfortable boots... Can...

    Langlitz Cascade vs Crescent

    Regarding the jacket length - When you order from Langlitz they'll have you fill out an order form with ~13 physical measurements of yourself with respect to your dimensions, how you want the jacket to fit, and your riding position if you intend to use the jacket on a motorcycle. You'll be able...

    Goatskin vs Horse Hide

    Horse versus Cow - By Request – What’s the Difference? This is a discussion of cow versus horse from Horween. I believe Horween provides all of Aero's horsehide and all of Allen Edmonds' and Alden's shell cordovan. This doesn't address the goat versus horse question but has some great...

    JACKET - TRACKIT (For members burning to get their ordered jacket on their back)

    +1 On Langlitz +1 on Langlitz - they seem to underpromise and overdeliver so the customer is always impressed. I ordered a custom sized jacket in August of 2010 and they quoted six weeks. I had it in 3 weeks. Ripped the sleeve on said jacket when it lost a stand-off with a razor sharp...

    AeroUSA: Put down $200, pay the balance later!

    Just a wild guess on my part but if you're buying a jacket off eBay (USA) from AeroUSA they charge shipping since late 2010 (prior to this shipping was free). Some jacket purchasers may not be comfortable forking out $800+shipping when the jacket might take 8 months to deliver. This would...
