    Aviation Leathercraft custom-made Irvin motorcycle jacket

    Thanks for the replies. The fit of the jacket is perfect for me, meaning I can raise my hands and arms straight up over my head and the jacket body does not move at all. I am also amazed at the construction of the hand-warmer pockets. There is no bulking to the jacket because of the pockets...

    "Slimming" an Aero

    Back in the 30's though the 50's there were tailor shops all over the place and jacket sizing was made for your body. Today tailoring is a specialty service and why these leather jackets cost so much. I am 6' 4" and can't find a leather jacket that fits me unless I buy a double X just to get the...

    "Slimming" an Aero

    To get a trim fit jacket you need to know all your measurements not just jacket size. I have seen some jackets shown here that too short or not fitting correctly because i think they went with jacket size. I'm having a FQHH Bootlegger made and I am looking at 3 inches over my chest and waist for...

    Please give me your current opinions on Cirrus Sheepskin jackets

    I received a packet of samples and a catalog from Cirrus. The sheepskin samples are as nice as the Aero sheepskin sample I have. I like the Cirrus true bomber jacket and the Cirrus defender with no wool showing on the cuffs or bottom of jacket. I would have ordered one from them but I ordered a...

    Understated Flight/Bomber Jackets

    I bought a 44 long Raider jacket from Gibson and Barnes and had to send it back because their jackets run large. I got a 42 long in exchange with fit me OK, it has room in it for a sweater.

    Need opinions on fit of Aero Cafe Racer Jacket

    Hector I think the jacket looks like a good fit to me. If you have a 40" chest what is the measurements of your jacket from armpit to armpit? If that jacket chest measurement is to big then what would you say is a better one? How many inches or less would be perfect for a trim fit between a...

    Aero & Lostworlds Horse Hides

    I received a set of samples from Aero a few weeks ago. I was interested of the FQHH brown and black and the oil pull horse. The brown FQHH was stiff and creasing it would lighten the color. I followed the directions from post in another tread about how to soften the leather...

    Will and Amanda @ Aero

    Just finished up an order for a custom FQHH Bootlegger with Will at Aero in Scotland. He was amazing everything I wanted, he had the experience to help me with all the right measurements for the right fit. I couldn't be happier, except for the 12 week wait for the jacket. But that's OK too, I'll...

    G&B wait times

    I bought a Raider 44 long jacket from them in November, they had it in stock and I received it in a week. The Jacket was oversized, they also had a 42 long in stock which they sent me to try on. This was a better fit and I kept the 42 Long and returned the 44 long. I have a 44 chest and I think...
