    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    Thank you. Sorry, no natural daylight currently where I live, have to wait until early spring. I have the Premier Highwayman as well and will try to post photos for comparison. They’re quite similar.

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    I’m going by what I heard from Denny when I was picking up the jacket; after all, Aero staff should know best. It was raining lightly that day and Denny said „you’d best not put on your new jacket on a day like this”.

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    So do you recommend washing $1000 suede jackets by hand, or is it OK to just pop them in the washing machine? Can they be tumble dried as well? :-)

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    I have had minor issues with the suede shedding/leaving some residue like loose nap. I have learned to live with it, though, and it has all but disappeared. The suede is wonderfully soft and resists stains. The softness is a double-edged weapon, though. If I let it hang on the Aero hanger for...

    Aero Premier HWY - Guidance needed

    I have a HWM Premier in CXL, size 40. My Majestic in goat suede is a 38. I sized up as per Holly&Co's advice and it was a good decision, seeing as the HWM (unlike the Majestic) is meant for layering and is lined with alpaca. I find the HWM Premier a slimmer fit than the Majestic. Here are my...

    Aero dilemma

    My Majestic fits spot on and measures in at 21”. However, the Majestic is a spring jacket, mostly worn over a T-shirt; now I am looking for an autumn/winter one, so I added half an inch for layering and specified an alpaca lining.

    Aero dilemma

    Thanks all. In fact, I have gone with option C. Returning a jacket from Poland is a bit of a hassle. I have found out that the lining I want happens to be included at no extra cost with the custom jacket I want, so that's 40 pounds "saved". I have measured myself once more and discovered that...

    Aero dilemma

    Thanks. The added value of option D is that it does not exclude option A. If there is a jacket on sale that ticks all the boxes, then why not take the plunge; if there isn’t, I can still go for option D. However, if there is a customs charge, increased VAT and increased shipping charge after...

    Aero dilemma

    Greetings Loungers. I have a pre-purchase dilemma and would like to solicit your advice. I am looking to buy a brown CXLFQHH jacket in a size 38 and have the following options: a. wait for the online sale (August 19th) and hope something from the Premier range or an August/Majestic/Original...

    What colour CXLFQHH from Aero

    No doubt, this is always the best advice. However, if I do take it and end up with three jackets, in order to give each the credit it deserves, I should probably wear the blue one on Mondays and Thursdays, the brown one on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the cordovan one on Wednesdays and Saturdays...

    What colour CXLFQHH from Aero

    Great, thanks all! So, I suppose, case closed, unless anyone can see any disadvantages of brown?

    What colour CXLFQHH from Aero

    Hello, I am about to pull the trigger on my other* Aero, a CXLFQHH Premier half belt. I am contemplating three colours: - brown: classic, versatile; - cordovan: love the hue, have Horween shell cordovan boots no 8. However, the jacket may just look too red/pink for my taste after breaking in; -...

    Aero Original Hercules vs. Premier Half-Belt

    OK, I’ll have to sleep on this. The Majestic has perfect fitting sleeves and very well (just half a notch less than perfect) fitting body. Holly says it’s practically the same pattern as the OG Hercules.

    Aero Original Hercules vs. Premier Half-Belt

    Folks, I am looking to buy my second Aero (yes, I know - incurable). The Majestic fits me very well. I could order it in another leather (this time I want CXLFQHH), but I'd prefer something slightly cheaper and just a tad different in details for variety, while very similar to the fit which...

    By popular demand, two fit pics. In case you’re wondering about the creases on the chest, there is a custom order inside pocket and a wallet in the pocket.

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    Will do. It’s buttery soft right out if the box (except that there was no box) and requires zero breaking in. Denny at Aero recommends caution in the event of rain. It’s more of a fair weather jacket.

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    Thank you all. It is rust suede. The collar is smaller than I expected, which is fine. I am not going to spray it with anything at the moment, but I will before wearing it in the rain.

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    Thank you all. This one does not stand by itself and is far easier to put on than a CXLFQHH jacket, but it is by no means light. As you all know, it’s basically a reversed goatskin jacket.

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    One word: Majestic. Size 38. IMO perfect fit (the selfie doesn’t do it justice). I’ll let the pics do the talking. If you have questions, fire away. I’m a happy camper.
