    Which has better mobility without Bi-Swing Back and Underarm Gussets? Aero Sheene or Aero Board Racer (and BR J100)

    I'm thinking of getting one of these leather jackets in the future. I prefer a jacket with good mobility without needing a full bi-swing back and underarm gussets/footballs. Among these 3 jackets which one would give me the best mobility when I need to reach my arms forward and upward? Would...

    Aero Seven Custom - Recommendations

    Hi All, Very excited to post here for the first time after putting down a deposit for custom Aero Seven with Thurston. I’ve always wanted to go the custom route given my appreciation for craftsmanship and that I’ve had a hell of a time finding a jacket that fits (6’4 190bs with a long torso). I...

    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman measurement advice

    This is my first post, so for the starts I wanted to say hello to everyone! I'm browsing this forum anonymously for a long time looking at all the beautiful jackets.

    Prayers for Ken of Aero

    Couldn't find a thread to fit this in but I thought it needed to be mentioned here. Ken Calder, who not only founded Aero but this whole repro hobby so many of us are engaged in, is in surgery today for cancer according to a post from Holly. (Public post, so I felt alright sharing it here.)...

    Is there too much grain on my new jacket?

    Hi all, I just got in my new custom Aero! I noticed my jacket has a lot of grain. That's completely fine with me, and expected. But on some areas of the jacket, the grain is pretty raised up (not sure how else to phrase that). The aesthetics I'm totally fine with. I just don't know if this is...

    Greetings! Background On a cold snowy day in Estonia my first Aero jacket arrived. I've been planning (and continue to do so) to buy my first custom "proper" jacket, mainly considering Simmons Bilt and Aero, since I like that kind of style / patterns / leather choices. Recently I managed to...

    Aero leather choices/options (End of 2022)

    Hey folks, I am creating this thread for two reasons: 1 . INFO - On the off chance that I'm not the only fool who kept looking for info about different Aero leathers and didn't know that Aero themselves have a lot of information about each (slightly) hidden in their own website, I wanted to put...

    New Aero Premier Highwayman FQHH

    Hi Fedora Lounge, I registered on the forum back in 2013, January 2013 to be exact. How time flies. This is my first post here but hardly my first time on the forums. As they say "first time poster, long time lurker". That does sound creepy to me. Around 2006 I started getting into leather and...

    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I can't find the thread. Besides, I get a certain satisfaction from ruffling the feathers of those who would say, "THIS QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ASKED X NUMBER OF TIMES, IDIOT!" That question is this: I'm on the verge of purchasing a new...
