    Aero B-10

    Oh interesting to know thank you very much, I’ve never seen one like this and with it being labeled as Experimental I thought otherwise.

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    I sold my Aero A-2 for a few reasons. Firstly I was just never 100% on the jacket fit, I loved the way it looked….just not on me and was slightly too short on the front for my liking. Secondly the leather although beautiful was just too heavy. A summer weight jacket being an A-2 but had to...

    Aero B-10

    Found this on eBay earlier this week. Nice Aero Leathers “Experimental Test Sample” B-10. No idea on age but it’s practically brand new, had a nice £55 voucher to use on it too for some reason so got it for £225 posted. I was almost about to pull the trigger on a Buzz Rough Wear I’d seen on...

    For Sale: Eastman Leather A2 Rough Wear 27752 Jacket 44R

    Changed my mind on this for about the millionth time. Just going to wear it for the next few months and see how I get on! Post jacket purchase doubt is real.

    For Sale: Eastman Leather A2 Rough Wear 27752 Jacket 44R

    It pains me to do this it really does as I wanted this jacket to be the one… Stunning Eastman Leather Rough Wear 27752 contract A-2 jacket. I bought this in August this year for £1299 and it has little wear since then. Sadly I just can’t get on with it as much as love this jacket. This would be...

    For Sale - Aero Leather 18775-P Size 44 - UK

    Hi all, Regrettably putting this up for sale. Aero Leather Scotland 18775-P contract. Honestly it’s such a nice jacket but just doesn’t quite have the fit I was after (most likely me not the jacket) I bought this new in June this year (2024) so only have some light wear. A lovely seal brown...

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    Stopped off at the 95th Bomb Group today in Horham. Sure was colder today without the sun…need to find something fairly lightweight but warm to wear under this jacket I think. Anyway here are some photos including yet more original WW2 A-2 jackets. If anyone is interested I have a small...

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    Thank you. I’ll be sure to get some more photos tomorrow. Stopped off at former RAF Bungay (Flixton) too on the way back to where we are staying. Not much left of the place mainly farmland now but some old concrete hardstands still exist etc.

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    I did just that… 27752 being broken in as we speak! A trip to Thorpe Abbotts home of “The Bloody Hundredth” 100th Bomb Group today and off to “The Red Feather Club” 95th Bomb Group at Horham tomorrow. Some nice original A-2 jackets on display too.

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    After trying the RW on again today I am very close to just cancelling my order for the Star contract and going with this. I know I should probably wait to compare the two but having the jacket sitting in a box in the house is too tempting.

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    Thanks for that. No matter which way I tried to upload them it wouldn’t work for me.

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    Yes the horsehide is absolutely amazing. So much lighter and nicer to wear than my Aero. I’ve got a Star contract on order as this was my other option, should’ve just ordered them both at the same time to begin with.

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    Thank you. I seem to get lucky and things fit me off the shelf. Just not 100% on the style and it’s not a cheap jacket.

    Eastman Rough Wear 27752

    I’ve been wanting to scratch the Eastman itch for a while so pulled the trigger on this Rough Wear 27752 contract. Absolutely stunning jacket but my one sticking point is the collar…I knew it was going to be a large collar but wasn’t expecting it to be like this. Anyway the fit is pretty...

    Aero 18775-P

    Haha thanks! Sadly not a clue how to fly..the temptation to quit my job, sell everything and move to Alaska and become a bush pilot is real though.

    Aero 18775-P

    Some more photos of the jacket with me standing in front of some warbirds and in the pilot seat of a B-17.
