    Aerophilia

    I personally like wearing a Bakerboy or a Gatsby with my Aero Barnstormer. With either style, they seem to be period correct. I also drive a 29 Model A roadster, and now that the weather is cooling down, I have a leather aviator's cap to wear while motoring. I also have a Aero Hercules FQH...

    One piece flyers cold weather suit

    In the North Dakota museum of aviation, there is a full length leather jump suit worn by the early flyers. It was a chocklate brown in color, and it has a zip front and fur collar. I could not see what the lining was, if there was in fact one. But it was one worn by flyers of the 20's and 30's...

    Sweat stain removal on A2

    I got this from the leather store, where I take some of my good in for repair. He suggested using "White Vinegar" to wipe down my leather goods. Especially my jackets. I am a smoker, and I tried it and to my amazement it did work. To be sure, I did smell like white vinegar until I could air out...

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    "I prefer pure petroleum jelly for stiffer leathers, belts, hats, etc. and unscented baby oil/mineral oil for leathers I want real soft. Mineral oil on a Brooks saddle is magic." HMMM...That's one I haven't heard of, but I don't know why it wouldn't be just fine. I just bought a pair of...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Dare I say!!! I like this Barnstormer so much, I just ordered a "Hercules" in the heavy F/Q with the drill lining from AERO. Only modifications is to make the pull straps on the sides just a skosh longer, the vintage color for the zips. (bright brass or silver-no) And I'm having a "Made...

    Black leather sportcoat

    Something else that always goes with a leather jacket would be a turtle neck sweater. Again, a white turtle neck sweater though would be too much of a clash with a black leather coat, in my opinion. I'm trying to think of a color that would go well. Nirvana

    Black leather sportcoat

    I agree with the above suggestions, with a medium grey or dark grey slacks, with a cuff. I think you might be able to get by with something like a cashmere blend V neck sweater, without it being bulky underneath. In my opinion, if you wear a grey slacks, with a black leather coat, a plain white...
