    Looking at ordering an Aero leather jacket...assistance if you will

    Just going to second the Vincenza Horsehide. I bought a custom Highwayman through Thurston in 2020 and the wife talked me into Vincenza based on the swatch at the last minute. Looking back I am so glad she made that suggestion. Frankly though this is the first year it is really broken in, but...

    Just bought an old Aero Highwayman. Arrives friday

    I just ordered some LL Bean Boot Guard so I will try that on an inconspicuous spot when it arrives. I'll update here once I know how it went.

    LOL, no worries. Not sure of the rules and this is actually kind of a messy thread. Maybe if I clean that Letterman's jacket up I will give it it's own thread. Assuming I do a decent job and don't end up ruining it.

    Actually all the jackets are mine. And I didn't want to make a bunch of multiple threads since this is really just about the Aero. I edited my original post to clarify that this is NOT the same jacket from the earlier thread. Remarkably similar though.

    Yeah I was kinda shocked at how much softer the leather feels on the Aero, even though it is seemingly just as heavy as the Schott. I still really like the Schott is a little stiffer, it is more like a motorcycle jacket, and the Aero is more stylish I guess. I am quite happy with both and can...

    Just bought an old Aero Highwayman. Arrives friday

    And just real quick, this is a little something that maybe some here would find interesting. This is my fathers letterman jacket from Hollywood High, 1955. I have been holding on to this for several years, not quite sure what to do with it. I hope to clean it up or restore it (whatever that...

    So somehow it came in today. And man... I tried it on and this thing is nice. It might be just the excitement of a new jacket but this things feels significantly better than the Schott. and I love the Schott. Anyway, here are a few quick pictures I took. Also I think I was wrong I don't think...

    Oh yeah, I need a brown one. I really like some of the brown jackets I have seen. I find I gravitate toward used slightly weathered looking jackets as opposed to brand new (which has saved me a ton of money too). I also have another interesting jacket I may pull out of the closet and show you...

    Just bought an old Aero Highwayman. Arrives friday

    Thought I'd post here since during my research on the jacket I found the best info about Aero on this forum. So it seems like you guys know your jackets here. As a matter of fact I am pretty sure that I bought the exact same jacket previously owned by a member here: tmitchell59 **EDIT: It is...
