I think a number of us here took the recent theft at Aero on a very personal level.I took this one rather hard. I hate it when nice people, decent people, are ripped off. I corresponded with Holly of Aero before I bought my ANJ-4 (from a North American distributor), and she was quite delightful and most helpful. Thus, to me, this is personal and I will do all within MY power to keep an eye out for any of the stolen goods on internet resale sites.
It makes me feel even worse that they had something else similar to this happen to them not long ago. They really don't deserve this. I have never heard anything but positive things said about the company and they are an upstanding company that do great work. Plus, it doesn't seem like they can do much about this but take the loss which is terrible.I think a number of us here took the recent theft at Aero on a very personal level.
Unlikely that they will appear, at least any time soon. Aero have compiled a list of the stolen jackets and will be monitoring the 'Bay closely.Have any of these popped up on eBay?
Yeah, they've have been kicking around for a while. They steal dozens of designs from other sites, photoshop their label on to the jackets - really badly - and offer them at wildly low prices. I report them whenever the eBay algorithm coughs up their jackets but it's like whack-a-mole with this bunch!
Let's all pitch in a few bucks and buy one. It's the off season for many, so it will provide entertainment for a couple more months until more can wear a jacket againI suspect that these companies don't even have patterns for the majority of the jackets until somebody orders one of the designs, at which point they cobble together an approximation of it using a base pattern. I would love to see an effort from them, just to get an idea of how bargain basement they are.
We would of course have to sacrifice it tho. Like that scene at the end of Apocolypse Now. I'll bring the face paint and machete(s).Let's all pitch in a few bucks and buy one. It's the off season for many, so it will provide entertainment for a couple more months until more can wear a jacket again
Of course as it would be a counterfeit itemWe would of course have to sacrifice it tho. Like that scene at the end of Apocolypse Now. I'll bring the face paint and machete(s).
