Wow, that is cool. So is the idea of Aeros in Bladerunner. It couldn't be remade; that would be sacrilege. I'm prepared to give a sequel a chance.

i think its time they got out more,,,,[huh]
Are we really to believe that people will be going to see this movie @ have their night ruined because a jacket isnt considered completely accurate,,,if so, i think its time they got out more,,,,[huh]
I know many Fedora outsiders chunkle when they see this Aero religion on this forum as a sort of brainwashed cult. They can do no wrong etc.
Anyone want to get back to the points I was making that why Aero would be selected for a studio production with their current military jackets output instead of other better quality manufacturers at the moment.
Is it just a budgetary thing
and I still feel its a shame that some more accuracy and better quality jackets could not be shown on air.
No one needs to see stitch by stitch perfection but surely its good to make it the best possible especially when other options are available now ?
It's a sequel rather than remake, and it's Ridley Scott at the helm, so hopefully it'll be something different rather than trying to do the same thing again. And just to keep it on an Aero film track: Ken and Ridley were mates during the 1960s, and played on the same football team together!

Weeeellll, there were quite a few who were disappointed with how Indy's gear looked in Crystal Skull, but the styling was due to Bernie Pollack using the wrong jacket as a template. (He used an after market Lucasfilm licensed jacket and not one of the real film jackets as a starting point.)
But that film had a lot of it's own problems!
This is just one of the VLJ members that continue to lead the charge on that forum that anything Aero is surely crap. Anything Fedora lounge (Hat Club)generally falls into that same category as well(as far as they are concerned). The enjoyment of a few to foster resentment with an upper crust elite haughtiness of insults and 'all knowing'. A stitch Nazi attitude that includes insults from the obvious high and mighty. It has taken over the VLJ and occassionally attempts to feed it's pompousness here. Read post #22 carefully and the belittling with extra unneeded contempt is glaring. Tells anyone all they need to know about this mindset. Gets old on the VLJ..but always a delightful performance for some.

No chance to get perhaps newer better quality jackets now that Ken has returned to the fold.
Ah, well... again, you are entitled to that opinion, even if few around here will share it. Indeed, this last statement probably more than anything explains the vitriol you deliver above.
..... I'd be genuinely interested to know how many of the current top end jackets are really equatable with the originals, or if the modern reproductions are more idealised 'perfect' versions compared to an issue jacket? I'd love to know what people think.

The Vintage Leather Jacket Forum.
Populated by a bunch of hard core A2 collectors, jacket manufacturers, and fans who will be happy to give you their opinion. Whether you want it or not. . (I love the place, so don't anybody jump on me!)
For my experience, I definitely have noticed the difference between Aero A2's and those by some of the other "higher end" manufacturers.
I'm a HUGE Aero fan when it comes to their civilian jackets. Not so much for their A2's.
HAVING SAID THAT.....Aero makes quality jackets, INCLUDING their A2's.
I'm glad they got asked to make the jackets for this movie, and know they will do a great job. I seriously doubt most folks...even many of those who are "addicted" to A2's, will notice whatever subtle differences there may be between jackets used in the movie and jackets from that era.
Anyone care to rank accuracy of the manufacturers of A-2's for those of us less informed?
do all agree on Goodwear being in the top spot?

The Aero ones have one less stitch per inch in the seams.
