Aero Price Freeze till 31st Aug

[Edward]

Tbh, I'd rather they were realistic about wait times, as they are, than calling it short and leaving the customer wondering. There are alternatives that can turn it around faster through being less in demand, zip though there may be a reason demand is less for the alternatives.

I don't mind waiting, myself, for something that is of that quality and to my specification. I did, however, also enjoy buying my Highwayman otr, though the novelty of that wouldn't have existed if it was the norm.

IMHO, they should also update their photos on some of the A-2 they offer.
Their jackets ate 1000x better than their photos on the web-page.
Geat product, great craftmansship, great details, unfortunately modt of the photos dont reflect this.

I'm not sure how old the current photos are, but I know Ken has done a lot of work on the patterns of the A2s since 2012.

So, given the latest theft at Aero, aren't they more behind now? Seems they had a lot of jackets in the pipeline that they need to build before new ones are delivered?

I wondered this exact same thing Butte...I mean even those people who sent their jacket for repairs would conceivably be in line for a new jacket as well...I would think it would drastically impact the completion schedule.

In retrospect, I'm even more glad now that I ordered my Wayfarer when I did. Exchange rate was favorable, no price increase looming, and no concerns about the impact of the the theft on the turnaround time on my order. And I couldn't be happier with it.

Yeah I think you and a few other folks around here had impeccable timing.

I'll ask when I'm over next week, though it could be that they've cancelled their usual two week summer closure to cover the losses.

I was sure my Work Coat was going to among the list of stolen jackets, it was there right around the time of the break in......my wife says they saw it and left it behind

(she isn't a fan of button jackets)

We're spending a lot of time working on our new website right now, the photographs look incredible (as does the site, in my opinion). This is taking some time, so we're not sure when this will launch yet, but we think it'll (finally) do the jackets justice!

Good to know.
Although your website is very easy to navigate through but the pictures clearly needed an update quality wise.

@cloudylemonade - great to hear this!
@ProteinNerd - LMAO. Post belongs in the "blocked by..." thread
B®illiant.

 

[Graemsay]

So has anyone been sucked into buying a new Aero by the impending price rise?

I'm having bad thoughts about a Wayfarer with a few tweaks (such as zipped sleeves) to give it a '60s or '70s East West vibe; a Sheene or Seven in two-tone, like the awesome flat track Bates jacket that @ButteMT61 was threatening to order; a Rockafella; or a Premier Highwayman tweaked like the @Stringmaster owns.

 

[ButteMT61]

Wish I could. @Carrie @ Thurston Bros. has posted some amazing jackets in the last month and well, if I could, I would.

 

[eugenesque]

I feel fortunate that I ordered a custom board racer at a whim back in June rather than wait it out after summer. Got to thank my lucky stars that it wasn't part of the stolen ones. Hope justice will be done soon!

Your kids don't need to eat or go to college @ButteMT61!

Hey, I did that with my kids, but I'm putting my granddaughter through private school now so well...I wish I were a (bigger) jerk, but have to be the one that helps her out. You get one and I'll enjoy your pics

 

[Graemsay]

I'm just worried that I'm a similar sort of size to you @ButteMT61, and might end up short a jacket..

I've sent an enquiry into Aero, and am waiting for a reply. I also need to chase up John Chapman, as I've got an order with him, and it got a bit lost with everything that's happened to him over the last couple of years.

Pickings and Parry have a Premier 1930s Highwayman on sale (size 38 if any Melburnians are after one), and I think that I'll probably scratch that option.

 

[cloudylemonade]

Sorry if anyone is waiting for a reply from me, I've been doing some work for the police/insurance company and am a little bit behind on enquiries as a result. Will hopefully get caught up today/tomorrow tho!

Thanks for your patience

 

[Graemsay]

Thanks Holly. A few days won't matter, particularly if you're busy there.
